Time For Weezy To Step Aside
Posted by Bossip Staff
Nas just knocked Lil Wayne from the number one spot:
Titled or not, Nas’ 9th LP, Untitled lands atop the Billboard charts this week. The set sold 187, 078 copies according to Nielsen’s Soundscan, moving enough units to push Lil Wayne off the No. 1 spot.
So much for the “Best Rapper Alive.” Nas is on top now.

Go Nas!
yay!
WHAT… FIRST.. WOW!!
i loooove me some nas too, love his single, HERO…
yeah…go NAS!
*OH MAN, nevermind, i am THRID… *bOO* !!
Nas need to sit his posing ass down!!! I’m so sick of these wack ass rappers. The album is TRASH. Green Latern is HIGHLY overrated.. his beats all sound the same!
This is definately a good look, not only for Nas, but for hip hop in general. The content of Nas’s lyrics and Lil Waynes are so vastly different. It’s good to see both of them have successful albums.
Its out already?
Damn I still LOVE my F-Weezy.
SO what!!!!!!!!!!!
Lil Wayne been on the charts for like 4 weeks and its not until now someone knocked him off PLEASE BOSSIP
Right, because NAS sold 180k albums, he’s now better than Lil Wayne.
Great logic bossip. Never mind that Wayne sold 1million the first week, or that I don’t even care which is better.
But yeah, sell 180k and you get to be the G.O.A.T.
Guess Souljah boy has a claim.
NOW THIS IS REAL TALENT!!!
GO NAS LOVE YA BABY.
BEST RAPPER ALIVE, PERIOD.
WELL WELL WELL, AND REAL TALENT ARRIVES. BREATH OF FRESH AIR, I SMELL IT….HMMMMMM…SMELLS GOOD TO ME!!
CD BETTER THAN HIS RELEASE PARTY
Really, ain’t no need to even argue about this.. Please lil wayne (Little Wayne) better than Nas you must be a dumb fool to even try to rate him that close to the King of NY.. Ya’ll need to be students of the game.. Weak ass Little Wayne
He should’ve sold double of that amount SMH!
looking for a HERO! cause youz a niggaa too!
Bung Bang Bang Bullet Connek!
Lil Wayne will outsell NaS and most emcees but NaS is a HIP-HOP ICON
that’s a good look for GODSON
We have some haters in the house when we see them point them out (Bossip)!!!!!! Love the fact that nas and lil wayne have the best selling albums. Instead of saying hateful things about 2 black men with totaly different styles. Best rapper alive who that?
Nas sold $187,078 while Weezy sold a million in a week though I’m not quite sure how Nas knocked out anybody. The Carter III has been out over a month.
Best rapper alive…hmmmm that was short lived huh…?
why is bossip hating on the goblin??
23rd bitches
@TIFFANY
NO OFFENSE, BUT NOW-A-DAYS, PEOPLE BUY GARBAGE ALL THE TIME. LOOK AT HOW MANY PEOPLE BOUGHT THE SOLDIER BOY RINGTONE. NOW IM NOT SAYING THAT LIL WAYNE IS GARBAGE, BUT I AM SAYING, THAT LYRICALLY, EVEN IF 10 MILLION BOUGHT HIS AND ONLY 1 PERSON BOUGHT NAS’ ALBUM, HE CANT SEE NAS. I MEAN WAYNE IS OKAY AT BEST. BUT NAS IS A TALENTED DUDE, AND HAS PROVED THIS FOR WELL OVER A DECADE NOW.
you chickenheads need to realize. ALBUM SALES DON’T MEAN SHIT. lil’ fugly’s label probably bought half those “sales”, anyway. but regardless of that, put Nas and lil’ gremlin on a stage with a mic and no beats. Nas would whip the SHIT out of that little boy, period.
besides, if yoda was really ALL THAT, Nas wouldn’t have been able to knock him out of #1 this week. and that’s the bottom line.
Nas is a grown man, that’s what he is. I bet he’s the greatest at alot of diffunt things. Takenbutclearlywellawareofmysurroundings 101.
lol
No offense Bossip, but tell NAS to holla back on Monday when he can sell “A Millie” the first week.
It’s no competition. Wayne has not been around long enough to compare to NAS, don’t get me wrong wayne is hot, hot, hot, I love the flow and nobody does it like weezy, but when it comes to flows, I gotta give it to my boy E-40!!! twista is a possible second, then busta, Mystikal (memba him?)……But, as for lyrical content, there are only about 5 rappers (with albums out) who are even on the level. Nas, Kayne, Lupe, JZ, well maybe four. so props to both Nas and Weezy makin’ history, and he’s still young, Nas for making a difference, both for makin hot shyte
Somebody said it up top but it’s a good point
Nas and Wayne are both talented and both deserve some shine but….
When you call yourself the best rapper alive you asking for people to come at your head
NaS is an emcee, a poet, and the street disciple not a rapper
@ Tiffany,
these other people in here are nicer than me so I’ll just get right to the point.
Lil Waynes music is for people who dont know music, for people who would never understand what Nas, Chuck D, Rakim, KRs One or even X Clan is saying, eventhough each of these people rap clear as day.
Lil Wayne is a deep south n*gga/n*ggettes wet dream of an MC, which he is clearly not. Lil Wayne is selling bullsh*t to the mindless, Doo Doo sandwiches to the runaway slaves, Hope to the Hopeless, Weave glue to the bald, you get what i mean?
You people down there speak your own language, you have your own way of doing things, education is secondary, hittin’ the block is a priority. So seeing Lil wayne become successful with mediocre skills is like watching the first person in your family graduate from High School, the whole community is proud…………he’s still stupid, but he’s smarter than you!
Love 6am
@DA PRO
YOU TELL EM HANDSOME!!(LOL)
@6AM
OHHHH NO(LOL)
Yep i discovered X Clan too! That n*gga can rap and he’s clear as day!
@6AM
I’VE ASKED YOU SEVERAL TIMES TO BEHAVE YOURSELF MR!!
BONG!!!!…yes im so proud of NAS…i love the album and hell yea weezy need to step aside..he definetley aint better than NASIR…
What?
I love Nas. I didn’t know that the album was out yet.
Funky lessons!
Download Xclan ya’ll
freedom or death, van glorious!
um is 187,078 missing a number? Nas barely went GOLD..even Danity Kane sold more than that their 1st week..those are some weak ass numbers
Bout time the east coast stepped it`s game up ! Not knockin the south but cmon that aint the only spot rapping right ? Nas , single ” Hero ” is a banger !
@6AM

And as if you didnt notice, not one bullsh*t deep south rapper on the bill!
@ Bree
you are right … but best believe in this age of down loads and bootlegs.. records companies are happy with these kinds of numbers.
@ bree,
youre not being fair, in the south they take EBT cards in the walmart record dept. so nas could never outsell Lil wayne down there. Besides tree monkeys are worshipped like gods in the deep south so must people thought by buying his CD they were paying Tithe’s to the church of Cash Money.
hi all!
My Mind is Wacky(lol so is mine) and 6am
i still expected NaS to push more than 187,078..music is really sad right now..i can’t believe he barely went GOLD..his numbers are going to just keep slipping as the weeks go by and it didnt even help that his numbers are so low..
So hip hop isn’t dead after all, thats 2 “million selling albums” in a just a few weeks!
ummm, weezy moved almost a million his first week. nas moved a pathetic 187,000 … shit, nas best rapper alive? doubt it! weezy still movin’ almost that many and weezy sux. and 187,000 ain’t gold, 500,000 is gold - he’ll be lucky to get that
@ bree,
i’d buy a ticket to see nas in concert.
You couldnt give me a ticket to go see Lil Waynes coon show, as a matter of fact i would show up to his show……..in my cross colour overalls, I’d jherri-curl my hair, go to payless and get some black fake alligator shoes and a pair of white socks, some 10 carat fake diamonds for each ear and a fake diamond chain to match, reynolds wrap my teeth, no shirt under those overalls, cheap deodorant so my underarm hair will nap up just right, put my lifesavings in my pocket, find the fattest ugliest bald date i can find, walk up to the ticket taker then burn the sh*t right in front of her!
i fux wid Nas..but 187,000 is good in this day and age and wayne is still topping 100,000 after a month on the shelves..lets not get carried away with making it a numbers game..say he is better just because he is..makes sense?
That’s a shame we’d rather hear and buy bullshit, than real talk…
SMDH
@ mya,
lets see weezy tour past texas, miss, ala, ga, flor or Missouri.
nas is a legend, Lil wayne is a simian
EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH WAYNE SOLD. LETS TAKE A SERIOUS LOOK AT THE STATE THAT HIP HOP/RAP IS IN TODAY, AND THE GENERATION OF INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE ACTUALLY PURCHASING WAYNES ALBUM. WE ARE NO LONGER SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE WHO CARE IF YOUR FLOW IS TIGHT. WAYNE IS THE IT THING FOR THIS GENERATION. BUT REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH HE SOLD, I WOULD BET ANYONE ON A CHALLENGE OF WAYNE VS NAS, THAT NAS WOULD DUST WAYNE OFF LIKE PLEDGE LEAVING NOTHING TO WASTE. AND NO ONE CAN ARGUE THAT.
@ Its6amHoGetOut
wayne tours all over my dude..im not a stan but u making it seem like all 2,000,000 people that bought his album lived on the same one street uptown new orleans or something
good for him
I am not arguing that Weezy is a better rapper than Nas it’s just the post is insinuating that Nas has now shown that he is based upon the numbers. My point is that based upon the numbers Nas has not made that impact. Nas as a lyricist is a different story, it’s just the numbers he pulled does not support the vibe of the post. I agree with BEAUTIFULLY HUMAN as long as Soulja Boy can have the numbers he does it does not say anything about talent. I love Nas and echo previous posts of how there both doing there thing, much love to them both.
For all you young dumb stupid hood rats, thugs, thugettess, listen to this.
One verse on nas 1st albumb “Illmatic” is better than anything lil wayne has put out in his entire career. When you dumbasses are done with “Illmatic” then we can talk about what hip hop is really about.
Bossip that was such a stupid comment- lil Wayne did 827,000 his first week Nas did 187,000 his first week. lil Wayne is now at $1,300,000 for just four weeks Nas will be lucky to do $400,000 for the year. By the way I hate both of them.
what happened to my post?
Congratulations Nasir Jones!!!
@IM JUST ME
HEY YOU MOMMA! WHAT YOU DOING GIRL?
DAVID BANNER DEBUTED AT #8
GO DB
Hey SxyQ!!! How are you Momma. I am about to get my work out on???
Nas is one of the greatest album sales does not make me like a cd more then and other Not a dis to lil wayne but im also positive in a few years i could easily put on nas cd and not be tired of it where waynes is already wearing on my eardrum lol
@IM JUST ME
GIRL, IM WAITING TO GET UP OUT OF THIS HAITIS HOLE!! LOL
you chickenheads need to realize. ALBUM SALES DON’T MEAN SHIT. lil’ fugly’s label probably bought half those “sales”, anyway. but regardless of that, put Nas and lil’ gremlin on a stage with a mic and no beats. Nas would whip the SHIT out of that little boy, period.
besides, if yoda was really ALL THAT, Nas wouldn’t have been able to knock him out of #1 this week. and that’s the bottom line.
He didnt knock lil wayne from shit with that amount of copies sold. do you think he is goin to be able to do that for 4 weeks like wayne did NNNNNNNNOOOOOOO! I got love for Nas but lyrically i would never compare him to lil wayne their styles are tottally different. Stick to comparing wayne to JAy. Cause Nas is in class of his own. a lot of different people is hating on waynes rap cause its hoe this and hoe dat but lets face it hes not talking about women and 96% of the females he refer to like that are Basically hoes and or Bitches or somebodys baby mama. so why is America mad at that, when you do the same he’s just not scared to say it on tape. To me Weezy is the best rapper alive and Nas is a legend!
Nas ain’t sellin like he should cause first, I don’t think he was promoted after the name change. Second, he’s doing music for grown folks and grown folks are just not buying music right now. Wayne got lucky cause a bunch of little teenagers listened to all the hype and went and purchased some garbage with their little minimum wage money.
@ SxyQ
I hear that. Your hours are sick. I am not feeling that. I just fed baby and am about to get this treadmill on and get ready for SYTYCD
Why do people even think hip-hop is dead!! The shit aint dead just changed. You need to get right or get left behind. There is not one genre of music that is the same from when it first appeared on the scene. Look bak at country, rock and even Gospel music has changed.. IM pretty sure that your parents probably thought the music in your day was garbage to them, but they didnt say taht the shit was dead. New Day New Era get with it.
sorry for the typos on both posts
EEEWWWW to hip hop be glad when it dies OUT!!!!
Ladies & Gentlemen,
No need to argue who’se best.
There’s room for the both of them.
Some like NAS, some like WEEZY.
The beauty of hip-hop has always been versatilty.
So everybody get’s to nod dat head!
GOOD FOR THE BOTH OF THEM!
get money……….
Forget this nas shtye … WHERE IS THAT MANIAC >>> SMDH !
That chic is the certified villan of bossip … like the joker in dark night !
For Nas to take #1 without being on everyone’s remix,not even having ANY features out period..Nobody’s heard from Nas music wise since his last album..I’d say it was a good look
wow, bossip…really, first of all, nas’s cd sales are considered a dissappointment because he sold half as much as he did when he released “hip hop is dead”, so yall can stop tryin to twist dat shit. wayne been out like 5 weeks, so of course nas would beat him, but i gurantee nas will fall nxt week…i kinda like nas, but wen blog sites try to twist shit like dat, its sum bullshit. oh and best rapper alive is still weezy, ask jay z
Lil Wayne gone crazy. The numbers traid. I landed at about 5pm and meandered through the numbers.
GotDamn Nas look good!!!!!!!! What’s up Baybee???
Was there ever any doubt?
Congradulations to him and I respect him concerning the Fox News petition issue.
By the way….
Any numbers on Khia’s “Nasti Muzik”???
i thought longevity determined greatness?
if thats the case, this argument ends with Left Eye (TLC) and Outkast. if its all about the sales.

And if its saving the industry, Eminem and solo…Mc Hammer is the greatest seller.
With these gas prices the way they are, I can’t believe people still are buying cd’s with all this free music on the internet.

LMFAO
@under
You hit the nail on tha head.
Even still, numbers do not mean GREATNESS IMO.
LOL…hey Bossip, you cant compare one artists first week sales with another artists 4th week sales.
That being said sales mean little.
Hello Lil Wayne sold over a million the first week. Please explain!!!! I think Nas is great, uhh but Lil Wayne is still number one!!!! Hello!!!Now I won’t say he’s the best rapper alive but he is doing his thing. Andre 3000 the best to me alive along with Jay and RAKIM he is not dead and his lyrics were fire. One of his best lines Rakim that is: I TAKE 7 MC’S PUT EM IN A LINE, ADD 7 MORE BROTHERS WHO THINK THEY CAN RHYME WELL IT’LL TAKE 7 MORE BEFORE I GO FOR MINE NOW THAT’S 21 MC’S ATE UP AT THE SAME TIME. WHAT I SAY BRING RAKIM BACK. DID YOU HEAR HIM ON THE TRACK WITH JAY AND DR. DRE. HE HAD THE BEST VERSE.
Fuck Lil’ Wayne…..I’ll take NAS any day.
Lil Wayne is sooooo overrated….where are all the REAL rappers that make hip hop what it is….FUck THESE UNSEASONED ASS NEW BOOTY RAPPERS….I WISH RUN DMC WAS STILL IN THE GAME….AND TUPAC TOO…
OK why do I sense Little Wayne haterism, i mean let the dude have his swag bossip. Kanye says the same thing.
We all know that Andre, Nas, Commen, PAC, and BIggie, are the best and I’ll say Jay for the sake of history.
I agree with you RED!!!
@flaedagurl
“to me Weezy is the best rapper alive and NAS is a legend.” LOL
love it.
Bossip blockin my mufuckin comments for some got damn reason shawty. What up my niggs
There is a difference between best rapper alive and best selling rapper alive. Rakim is still the best and anyone who doesn’t list him in at least their top 5 of all time needs to learn more about hip hip.
Typo - hip hop
I agree Red that is one of the best lyrics. Paid in full can still hold its own against any song. Its my favorite.
LOL@ You Lil Wayne Stans!!
Nas has seven platinum albums and Illmatic, an album he dropped 10 years ago pushed 3,000 records in a week in 2001!! How can a 10 year old album still push units?? Illmatic was put on Rolling Stones top 400 albums ever made!! ALL GENRES OF MUSIC, not just hip hop. Your talking about Michael Jackson, the Beetles and Elvis on that list!!
Silly Rabbit!! Weezy’s for kids!!
I been listening to Lil Wayne since he was a lil a$$ kid under Juvenile’s wing. Hes a good rapper, but please stop gassin him up. Respect the game!!
damn bossip i kno yall dont like wayne but are u guys that stupid wayne sold 1 mill his 1st week nas sells 100,000 his first week lol lol bossip some idiots damn i kno i aint the smartest man in the world come one now…NO RAPPER OUT RIGHT NOW WILL EVER SELL LIKE WAYNE I PUT MY LIFE ON DAT
@Bus a Bus
CO-SIGN…silly rabbit weezy’s for kids!!! Love it!!!!!
Is Naz part owner of Bossip? Him and his ridiculous, weak selling, nonsense are all over this blog and I don’t know why.
weezy out sold him by ten to one and nas is the king of rap…yeah right. nas is a punk ass who allowed al perm hair sharpton to scare him into changing his album title…sorry nigga!

Damn I love NAS!!! He is just tooo fine! Nas I will buy anything you sell boo!
um, how long ago did c3 drop?
Really? How is that? Maybe off the #1 spot but Lil’ Wayne sold over 1million in the first week Nas sold 187k. I like Nas so good for him being #1… but I’m just saying judging from the headline I thought Nas sold a lot more.
Nas is coming up!!!
@ 6am
This is my first comment I’ve ever left and please believe it’s anonymous cause that’s what I choose. But I had to come on and do this to say this about your first comment…
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
that shit was just funny!
and by the way I loves me some Nassir
Damn Weezy…..That was short lived……..
FIRST!
Nas is on Colbert
Look how long Lil’ Wayne bin on top!!!! nas record sales cant even compare!!!!
wayne’s been on top for 6 weeks and he still selling 100k…. weezy sold 180k in minutes lol
FUCK NAS AND YEAH IM GON ADMIT IT YEAH IM HATING FUCK NAS AND FUCK THOSE WHO FEEL DIFFERENT WEEZY BEST RAPPER ALIVE
Bossip needs to get it together. Why are you hating on Weezy. He sold 1.5 million in 1 week how can you put 187k in the same category, Weezy sold more than that in his sleep. I am not hating on Nas but the numbers say it all!!
YA’LL CRAAAAAZY AS HELL!! WAYNE IS THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE!!
Weezy could sell 10 mil in a week and he still wouldn’t be better than Nas…
You got one nigga rapping about being a martian and licking wrappers…
The other one protesting against Faux News and speaking on the ills of America..
How dare you fuck tards compare Wayne to Nasir.
Weezy will be back next week! Weezy is not a hypocrit, Nas is wack and so is his wife. Just as Nas is calling for others to step aside; it is time for him to step aside, he is no longer relevent.
^^^
If Nas isn’t relevant, why are you posting comments about him at 3 am in the morning??
Real hypocrite huh?
Jesse Car Jacker, Nas is a great rapper but very very smarmy… He’s been given the platform and the opportunity to speak his mind over and over again and yet he’s never ever said anything of substance. He’s pseudointellectual…
