undoubtedly.. anyone who says em being white doesn't have a huge factor on his sales is either ignorant to the way some things work or lying.. not saying his talent has nothing to do with it, but race is a very big factor.

He's been in the game over 10 years.  He was the biggest act in music for several of them.  That "he's white" thing may have helped him initially (which he acknowledges), but that can't be the reason that over ten years later he's still on top.  The "wow, a white rapper" factor should have worn off a long time ago.

And did it occur to anyone that the 750K may have come from positive reviews?  When The Graduation came out (leaked or whatever), it got very positive reviews and sold over 900K.  Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 got good, not great, reviews and it did less than 500K.  Same with Wayne, although I feel his album was helped substantially by the Lollipop single.
