Eminem is still killing it, although he is slowly dropping in sales, but his RECOVERY album still maintains it's position at thie top this week. I knew he would continue that reign with the release of his latest single- NO LOVE, featuring another top selling artist, LIL WAYNE.
Recovery, which is his 6th studio album, has sold a total of 2,768,000 copies in the U.S and over 4 million copies worldwide. This week, the album moved 52,000 copies.
Flockavelli, the debut album of newcomer, Wacka Flocka Flame, did not live up to expectation; selling 37,000 copies after 7 days in stores. I guess we can officially term him a ringtone rapper.
Lil Wayne's "i am not a human being" EP, which dropped last week as a digital only cd has totalled 133,000 copies, selling 23,000 copies this week. I think that is looking good, considering the fact that it is not a full lenght cd- not a mixtape, but more like a compilation of some songs he recorded before going to jail. I guess that is more money for CASH MONEY RECORDS C.E.O's- Brian "baby" Williams & Ronald "slim" Williams. I think you can say that it has been a CASH MONEY/YOUNG MONEY take-over for a while now. Wait till Nikki Minaj Drops next month, and then Tyga, and then Wayne drops his CARTER 4 when he comes home.
I am not a big Fan, but i guess they got the kids on LOCKDOWN for now, and i kinda respect their Hustle- Keep getting your money Holmes!!!
The Appeal; Georgia's Most Wanted, Gucci Mane's latest album sold 20,000 copies this week, bringing the total sales of the album to 80,000 copies. Why does this guy have to name all his albums about jail, or a court-related, i guess that is what keeps him going to jail. I can't get it with all these rap artist, they make a little money,and instead of living the Hood, and finding a better life, they want to be the Boss's of the hood, and there is no way you would not get into trouble with all that money, still living in the hood.
It is just parthetic; i heard T.I is heading back to Jail. I was feeling his vibe until 2008 when he went to jail, and he just broke that VIBE he had going for him.
Ice Cube's "i am the west" is not doing too well; it moved 8,400 copies this week, bringing the total to 31,000 copies. Wow! If Cube IS the west, that means the west is DEAD. I guess that lives GAME to revive it. I think the Game gives the west MOUTH TO MOUTH, anytime he drops his shit. I am not dissing Cube in no way, i still bump old NWA albums, and even though i never really had time to feel his solo albums, i know how successful they were, and the once or tiwce that i did listen, i Testified to Greatness, but i guess no one wants to listen to those old Gangstar stories anymore.
The only reason Snoop is still relevant is becuase he has gone POP- SO, please, to all the game haters, you got to give it to the kid. At least game's lat album, although it didn't go platinum, sold 239,000 copies in first week, and did a total of 800 copies in the U.S alone.
Okay, i will be back next week, and i hope i didn't piss anybody off- i was just spitting the fact.
