Wayne was already popular when go Dj dropped....he didn't blow up mainstream (whites and suburbs) until the Carter 2 dropped
 
IMO:

Wayne was popular before Carter 1

Carter 1 probably made him one of the biggest stars in rap

Carter 2 gave him his mainstream success

He was somewhat popular due to being on CM. He didnt blow up till D2. Nobody bought C1 at the time.

D2 came after CII....wayne was on his way up commercially after CII but D2 def made it explode 

Dec 05

May 06 ....they both worked hand in hand 
 
No,

Wayne was a mid tier rapper in terms of popularity.

You realize Carter 1 was a slow burner? 116k first week sales in 2004 was not impressive. Future just sold 150k first week in 2015. To put it in perspective, Carter 3 sold 1mil in its first week. In 2008.

Wayne was a mid tier rapper at that point. It wasn't until his run of mixtapes and features leading up to C3 that made him a breakout mainstream superstar in 08.

Similar to what future is doing now. Future has had a decent level of success before this.
 
it did bad numbers first week because bring it back was the first single, once go dj caught steam thats when the album started doing numbers and wayne started blowing up

go dj stayed on the radio, that was his biggest song until lollipop, he was on destiny childs soldier right after
