And imagine if “Baggage Handlers” actually made the album too. But “About Me” is crazy as well. As big as a Hov fan as I am, Raekwon deserves that #1 spot.
Only reason he’s #1 on iTunes cause ain’t too many copies were manufactured as seen in Torae video yesterday and people aren’t that stupid to wait another week to pay 13.99 or whatever it cost in other areas. It don’t mean shit. Jay still outsold him so no need for the hype and Busta is a retard for being hyped on the phone. Insted of calling people up telling them they #1 on iTunes, he need to be in the studio making up for that horrible Back On My BullShit tracklisting.
@1 Dollar – How do YOU know how many copies were manufactured? Talking like you got factual evidence and shit gtfo!
If this outsells BP3 I can die happily. Especially after Jay’s bitch move of moving the album forward to eliminate the chance of people copping Rae’s shit before his. You only do that when you know your product is whack cos’ if he had faith in it and knew it would sell he would have kept it scheduled for release on the 11th.
haha tahts right rampz..the only reason jay moved up his date is to take sales away from rae? if anything i think it helps rae..people who were going to cop only built were going to cop it anyways..people who were going to cop jays album will go to the store and cop raes in addition to
If you weren’t SO illiterate you would have read my comment correctly. I said “as seen in the Torae video yesterday”. That’s my proof. There was only ONE shelf in that store holding CL2 which means only a FEW copies which means NOT MANY copies were manufactured. Can you understand that now??? Oh, GTFOH.
Both albums are classic! I bet if the albums were released at different months people wouldn’t be comparing and would actually recognize and except the fact that both are classic in maad different ways. But sales? Jigga, obviously. Rae just does it for the fans…
BP3 is aight, but it aint for me(Huge Jay fan)
You can call it a classic if u want.
If the sound is what ur missing 4 right now and u can relate to it then you gotta call it a classic in ur own mind…I just happen 2 like the old Jay shit better, so i pump that.
OB4CL 2 on the other hand is something that i have been missing in Hip Hop and i didnt even believe that Rae could pull this one off, but he did and i think its a classic…So before u go crazy about somebody callin BP3/OB4CL2 a classic, remember what kind of joy it brings 2 you, when u think that: Oh!This album is a fuckin classic.Not just good, a CLASSIC!
It doesnt matter what anybody else thinks, when you know its a classic 4 you.
Cuban Linx 2 Muthafuckaz!!!!! LMAO!!! Fuk wat niggaz is talkin. I had to go to the mall to cop mine cus Rae was sold out at my best buy. But there was a full 2 stacks of BP3. Hov shit wasnt movin n da mall either but Rae only had a few copies left including the 1 I snatched. I even had to ask dude 4 a copy from behind the counter cus none were left on da sales floor. Raekwon the Chef… Salute!!!
how can you call BP3 a classic when there are the 3 or 4 Timbaland songs that I skip every time on there along with the Swizz Beats song!? That’s 4-5 bad songs on the CD = not even close to classic.
on the other hand i listen to OB4CL2 straight beginning to end.
^^ agree on the CL2. but BP3′s a classic, well, it all depends on the way you look at it. you may not look at it as classic, but look at it this way: hip-hop can’t always stay in the whole 90′s raw lyrical shit we all love. it needs to grow at some point. for many, CL2 is what we’ve been wanting to hear for years, and it brought us back to the old school. BP3, in my oppinion, is a vision of the future. if we, as a culture, want to stay on top of the music biz, we have to evolve at some point. just saying…
ob4cl is ill as fuck!!!!!!!!!! 22tracks of pure hip hop!! 10/10 bp3 is 7.5/10 ihope rae sells real well like itd like to hear a 150,000 type shit cuz this album deserves double plat status
WTF!!! Jay pushed the album release date up to 9/8 (since it’d been leaked already why not?) Had 2 different versions of the album and promoted it HEAVILY, and Rae ends up #1 on iTunes!!!
That’s what the fuck I’m talkin ’bout!!! I’m so proud of Hip-Hop!!!
You going way over our heads with them sales and status’s you’re talking about. CL2 ain’t really packed in stores like BP3. Very far from it. Not the same distributer. He can only put out so many until he gets paid. And iTunes definitely won’t get him anywhere close to it.
I just copped CL2 and the shit is wack. I just heard BP3 and it could have been a lot better but i’m going to make up for everything they didn’t do on the Great Escape album coming soon
BP3 is not a classic…and I feel the same way about those Timbaland tracks..I only listened to BP3 once all the way through. Only song I bump is “So Ambitious”.
U NIGGAS IS ASS RAE SHIT IS RAW HIP HOP BUT ITS SUM OLD BORING ASS SLEEPY TIME HIP HOP…NIGGAS DONT WANNA HEAR THAT!!! BP3 IS A CLASSIC AND HAS WAY BETTER LYRICS AND WORDPLAY THAN ANY OF RAE’S SHIT…OH YEA AND BLUEPRINT 3 WAS RELEASED LAST NITE AND TOOK THE #1 SPOT EARLY!!!! TELL BUSTA TO ANNOUNCE THAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only reason his number 1 on itunes is bcuz jay-z album hasnt come out yet on itunes it comes out on sept 11 in itunes
BP3 is still only available as pre-order on iTunes but props to Rae still.
Also on the top 10 list, its on there twice for BP3
not only the #1 rap album but #1 overall. CLASSIC Status
if i could have busta rhymes break all my good news to me, i’d be so hyped! do these guys get used to busta’s hypeness or something?
i was getting hyped just listening to him and i already knew the news!
Whoah, Rae is beastin on CL2 though props to that nigga…
And imagine if “Baggage Handlers” actually made the album too. But “About Me” is crazy as well. As big as a Hov fan as I am, Raekwon deserves that #1 spot.
lol the Blueprint 3 is #2 and #3…and it’s only a pre-order. Props to Rae still but that’s pretty funny.
