Add crashing Hulkshare to Maybach Music Group’s résumé. Still hard at work on his MMG debut album, Ambition, Wale made noise last week when he dropped a new mixtape in honor of reaching 1 million Twitter followers. The mixtape, The Eleven One Eleven Theory, received over 100,000 downloads in the first hours following release. The traffic generated by such voracious downloading overloaded the server and caused a temporary crash. “This is actually the first time…It’s certainly an exciting milestone, but not a pleasurable one,” Hulkshare CEO Ted Brinkofski said. Wale is on tour through the end of August, but if anything this excitement is a sign of things to come. The DC-spitta hopes to drop Ambition in November, but if people went this crazy over a mixtape I’d hate to think what the fall rush is going to look like.
