First Week Sales Prediction Of French Montana's 'Excuse My French' Album

As I always do when an album is about to drop, I am going to attempt to predict what French Montana's 'Excuse My French' is going to sell in its first week out. It is set to drop tomorrow morning. French signed a joint deal with Diddy's Bad Boy Records and Rick Ross's MMG in 2012, and is about to drop his first studio album. Since he hasn't dropped any albums before this, I don't have anything to use as a yardstick, but I believe he would sell between 60-90k copies first week.








French Montana has two big hits- Pop That and Freaks, but that doesn't necessarily mean he has a big fan base. But, I believe with the buzz he has right now, he should be able to sell between 60-90k copies first week. Check out the tracklist of the album below-







1. Once In a While feat. Max B
2. Trap House feat. Birdman & Rick Ross
3. Ain’t Worried About Nothin
4. Paranoid feat. C.A.S.H.
5. When I Want
6. Fuck What Happens Tonight feat. DJ Khaled, Mavado, Ace Hood, Snoop Dogg & Scarface
7. Gifted feat. The Weeknd
8. Ballin Out feat. Jeremih & Diddy
9. I Told Em
10. Pop That feat. Rick Ross, Drake & Lil Wayne
11. Freaks feat. Nicki Minaj
12. We Go Where Ever We Want feat. Ne-Yo & Raekwon
13. Bust It Open
14. Drink Freely feat. Rico Love
15. Throw It In the Bag feat. Chinx Drugz
16. Marble Floors feat. Rick Ross, Lil Wayne & 2 Chainz
17. Ocho Cinco feat. MGK, Los, Red Cafe & Diddy
18. If I Die

J.Cole's 'Born Sinner' Album Release Date and Cover-Art

Roc Nation rapper, J.Cole just let the world into how the cover-art of his second album is going to look like. Cole's Born Sinner album, which was originally scheduled to drop on June 25th, has been moved to a week earlier. He was going against Wale's The Gifted with his June 25th date, but he is now going against Kanye West. Kanye's 6th album, Yeezus is also scheduled to drop on June 18.






I think this will actullay help his sales, as opposed to doing the opposite. Analysists and even 50 Cent himself admitted to his 2007 face-off with Kanye (they dropped albums on the same day) helping him sell more. So, this is going to be advantageous for J.Cole. On another note, I kinda don't like the album title and the cover art. But ofcos, it is going to be a great album. Cole has taken a lot of time out to work on this, and it sure will be better than his first album. Definitely.

Miguel Injures Female Fan With 'Leg-Drop Jump Into Crowd'

Last night, at the Billboard Music Awards ceremony, Miguel got super exicted during his performance of "Adorn", and jumped into the crowd. He made a leg-drop move crashing into the crowd, and injured a female fan. He actually landed on her head. People have been making up jokes about this all day on twitter.


















Thank God the girl didn't suffer any serious injuries. Miguel twitted this later on-

Femi Kuti Shares Pics Of His Kids

Femi Kuti is the son of late legendary Afro Beat musician, Fela Kuti. I don't think I should even be introducing him that way, cos Femi has made a name for himself in the music world internationally. On a lighter note, he shared pics of his adorable children on twitter yesterday. The first pic is of him and his daughter, Bisayo Kuti. And the second is of him and his two sons; Tuminshe and Ayomide Kuti. Tumishe (the one on the right) looks so much like Fela.






Gabriel Union Speaks On Turning 40

The beautiful African-American actress, Gabriel Union tunred 40 last year October, but she still looks like she is in her late 20s. I remember seeing her in Bring It On (2000) with Kristen Dunst and thinking, this girl is really hot. And then doing a google search of her, and finding out she was 28 years old. I was like, WHAT!!?










In a recent interview with CocoaFab, she spoke on how people react when they find out she's 40. By the way, that's a very recent photo of her below-




It’s an issue for us as we sit in this hair and make-up chair! I’m like, ‘give me some tweezers and pluck this gray. It keeps cropping up!’ It’s like, ‘This b-tch is 40. She might not have wrinkles, but look at me! Try to pluck those quick!’ No, I don’t know if it’s because I did teen movies for so long and I was associated with young projects for so long that people just refuse to believe that I’m 40. It’s been more like, ‘You’re 40?!?!’ They put my age with everything nowadays. You can’t escape it.

Kanye West's 6th Album To Be Titled 'Yeezus'

Kanye West premiered the visuals for his "New Slave" single on 66 buildings accross the world Friday night. Now, news out is that his new album is going to be titled 'Yeezus.' This is going to be his 6th album, and confirmed songs from it include New Slave, Black Skinhead, and I AM (A) God. Before you guys start shouting Blasphemy! you should know that in Psalm 82:6, Jesus said- "I said, 'You are gods'...






But ofcos, Kanye is still trying to build up some controversy around his album, and the title being Yeezus is definitely a ploy to get people talking. Yeezus sounds like Jesus. Anyway, 'Yeezus' is set for a June 18 release, which is the same date that Kim Kardashian is expected to deliver Kanye's first child. So, these are some great times for Kanye.










You can never be dissapointed with any Kanye album creatively. He is a genius, but what people don't understand is that every genius walks that thin line between sanity and insanity. So, cut Kanye some slack.
