On Sway’s Shade 45 radio show, Baby shoots down rumors that Cash Money bought up Weezy’s albums to ensure a big debut. By Rob Markman, with reporting by Sway Calloway Lil Wayne and Birdman Photo: Kevin Mazur/ WireImage Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter IV may have fallen just short of the million mark in its first full week of sales, but Birdman feels platinum regardless. The #1 Stunna spoke with MTV News’ Sway Calloway on his Shade 45 “Sway in the Morning” radio show about Weezy’s #1 album and 964,000 copies sold. “People doin’ different numbers,” Birdman said of the initial predictions, which had Wayne selling more than a million. “But this comes from Billboard. To me, that’s a million; 964, we right there, so it’s cool. We’ll just keep grinding, I guess.” Baby also touched on the Internet rumors that he and Cash Money purchased copies of Tha Carter IV to ensure a mega-sales debut. “Nah, man, that really don’t make no sense. Why would we do that?” Birdman asked. “I press and distribute ’em. Ain’t no need for me to buy ’em. That’s hustling backwards; we ain’t in it for that. I ain’t ever been a part of that type of scheme to be buyin’ records. We don’t do that, homey. We be working too hard to be — that don’t go with what we do. We truly what we do. We’re real about what we do, we work hard every day at it, and we work for the people. That’s what we do music for: for people. And we appreciate the love they give us back. But no such thing as me buying no CDs. I wouldn’t even play it like that.” After being pressed by Sway, the Cash Money CEO estimated that the company made about $10 per album sold, but the exact number remains to be seen. Regardless, Birdman insists that the Cash Money/ Young Money camp is back to work and focusing on Drake’s sophomore album, Take Care, which is set to be released October 24.

In honor of Nevermind ‘s 20th anniversary, we shine the spotlight on some of 1991’s other truly great albums. By James Montgomery Lenny Kravitz’s Mama Said Photo: Atlantic On September 24, Nirvana’s Nevermind album turns 20, a milestone that seems rather inconceivable to anyone who actually lived and breathed during the alt-rock era. Still, its birthday will surely be celebrated all over the world, and justifiably so. After all, it’s the album that changed everything and, as such, deserves to be mythologized. Of course, in doing so, most overlook the fact that there was no shortage of other classic albums released in the shadow of Nevermind, from mega-platinum rock blockbusters to quiet-as-it’s-kept indie gems, and just about everything in between. In 1991, rock truly rocked, so, in celebration of that fact, we’ve asked some of today’s biggest bands to discuss their favorite albums from that rather amazing year. We’ve already paid tribute to classics like Dinosaur Jr.’s Green Mind and the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Blood Sugar Sex Magik, Pearl Jam’s Ten and Fugazi’s Steady Diet of Nothing. Now, we’re honoring a pair of albums that truly show the scope of 1991’s back catalog, as told by their biggest fans. Lenny Kravitz, Mama Said Building on the slow-burning success of his 1989 debut, Let Love Rule, Kravitz returned in ’91 with Mama Said, an album that saw him expand his horizons — from the Philly soul-tinged hit “It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over” to the Lennon-inspired “Flowers for Zo
