Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter IV" Butt of Twitter Trending Topic

UniversalLil Wayne's highly anticipated Tha Carter IV hadn't been out digitally for a full 24 hours before tweets dissing his new disc became a Twitter phenomenon.  The hashtag #ThingsBetterThanTheCarterIV became a trending topic after users piled on about things they thought were better than the Young Money General's latest set, including "Shaq's free-throw percentage," and "The end piece on a loaf of bread."

Still, just an hour after Tha Carter IV was released at midnight following the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, Weezy's album bulleted to number one on the iTunes album chart.  The physical CD hit stores Monday.
