Plies vs Lil Wayne

I have no idea what Plies sold for the first day of release, but I hear that Lil Wayne could have moved around 600,000 units, which would put him on track to go platinum by week's end. I witnessed first-hand how many people grabbed Weezy, walked right by Plies, and headed to the register. Maybe it's the state of our economy, maybe it's the fact that Lil Wayne had a big-ass poster for the last month promoting his album, or maybe there just wasn't much marketing around Plies new album. I did pick up both CDs, but haven't had a chance to get a thorough listen. My gut tells me that I'll like Plies more, since I think Weezy is overrated and spits a lot of redundant garbage. But, I'm happy that there's a rap release that puts the genre back on the map and in the eyes of the industry. So, you be the judge, who has the better album?





An update: A quick listen of Plies had me in disappointment. Sadly, he seems better when he collaborates with R&B singers, and his flow is almost always the same on this album. My store blew through about 55 Weezy's for first-day sales, and 4 Plies.
