It doesn’t matter that Lil Wayne’s 4th CD Carter IV is garbage, it can’t be ignored that he somehow managed to sell almost a million albums in one week. Plus the fact that no other rapper even comes close to his sales this year, so that should account for something.

Yesterday, BET announced its list of nominations for the 2011 Hip Hop Awards, including 18 nominations for the rap gremlin.

Once again Sandrarose.com was ignored in the best blog category. We didn’t even get a mention for the Hustler of the Year award, which we feel we deserve. Not that we care but we thought we would mention the diss.

See the full list of nominees after the break!
