Congrats to Wayne for getting the skaters and gays to buy his album. What others fail to realize gays,country (music)and the skater and popular click school crowds are the biggest music consumer, and wayne got most of those fact. Other artist are not getting those yell

I think "the record label is buying copies" has officially joined the list with "---- is being blackballed" or "The Illuminati is doing this to destroy hip-hop" as one of the shittiest and most overused cop-outs amongst hip-hop fans. It makes no sense for the label to bite into their own profit margins on a release with no real direct competition. I mean, what is the end game here exactly?

Skaters and gays? Lol.  Fact is, dude sold a shit load.  GIve him his credit.  Regardless of how shitty the product was, marketing goes a long way.

I give him his props I laugh at the gang shit, but I do the same with that bigger fraud Dr Dre when it comes to being gangsta lol. I actually think he's smart by targeting crowds others stray from, and how to love got some rascal flats and Taylor swift fans digging it,the new country music fans Wayne is a money making dream artist for a label one of the few you can trot out to various audiences yell
