Rap Albums on The Billboard Charts

Tech N9ne is on top this week with his new release, All 6's &7's, which moved 56,000 after a week in stores. I have to say, that is impressive for someone i barely know. Okay, i am just one person, but i bet if you picked 10 people out of the crowd from where i am from and ask them who Tech N9ne was, none would know. I am not saying this to belittle him in anyway, but just out of curiosity about how he does it. I mean, how he has managed to build a big enough buzz, without having hot singles on heavy rotation, or videos on MTV. Or am i the one missing something?

Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 from Beastie Boys sold 15,000 copies this week, which now brings their total to 243,000 copies sold. No comment from me on these guys, cos i can't say i have heard even one of their songs. I know they were popping back in the days, and they are a bunch of white boys...no, white men now; that's all i know about them. I am sorry, there are so many people out now, and you have to be super dope to catch my attention. If i listen to you once, and i don't feel you, then it's on to the next one. Or, just sticking to my favorites.

Whiz Khalifa sold 14,000 copies of his Rolling papers album this week, bringing his total sales so far to 445,000 copies. He is almost Gold, but he has singles that have already sold Platinum.

Maybach Music Group Presents...Self Made, Vol. 1 sold 12,000 copies this week, and is now at a total of 90,000 copies. Rick Ross and the boys are making some side money with that compilation.

Tyler the Creator sold 4,600 copies this week of his Goblin album, with a total now at 75,000. I just started listening to the dude, and i can't really comment on him yet. But, if you would just ask what i feel about the guy right now, i would it is either he is just being him, or he is trying to get some attention with all the controversial lyrics he be spitting, and all the weird looking videos.

I Love You (A Dedication To My Fans), the mixtape from D-Block general, Jadakiss sold 3,300 copies this week, now totaling at 18,000 copies. I think it is cool that he can make some money from a mixtape.

Wacka Flocka Flames's Flockaveli album sold 2,500 copies this week, now at a total of 272,000 copies. He must have done something major recently for this CD to pop back on the charts.

Okay, next week is going to be huge, as the Eminem and Royce Da 5'9 EP would have completed the one week cycle, and we would get to know how many copies it sells. I am predicting between 80-170k, but people are saying it might sell higher...let's just wait and see.

Rap Albums on The Billboard Charts

Sales are low this week, and The Beastie Boys are back at number 1, selling 24,000 copies this week. Their Hot Sauce Committee Part2 album has sold a total of 194,000 copies so far. It is funny though, cos i do not know anybody that has bought the album. I haven't bought it. Maybe its is just me...have u bought it?

Tinie Tempah, the British rapper debuted his album in America last week, and it sold 16,000 copies after one week in stores. The "Disc-Overy" album dropped in the U.K last year (2010), but EMI Records dropped it in the U.S this year...officially. I think he is a nice rapper, for this era of hip hop...where you have the B.O.Bs, and the Kid Cudi's, but he is definitely not my kind of rapper...no offense to any of his fans.

Whiz Khalifa's Rolling Papers album sold 15, 000 copies this week, and the album is now up to 402,000 copies sold. Tyler The Creators' Goblin album sold 13,000 copies in its second week in stores, bringing the total sales to 58,000 copies sold. And the southern rapper, Killer Mike sold 4,400 copies of his new debut PL3DGE, after one week in stores.

Rap Albums on The Billboard Charts

Tyler the creator is the number one selling rapper this week with his new album, Goblin. I am not going to front, i don't know the guy, so i cannot tell you anything about him. I just know i have been seeing his name pop up on many hiphop websites lately, but i thought he was a comedian or something...i never thought he was a rapper. I guess i will have to buy his album this weekend and see what he is about. I almost forgot, his album sold 46,000 copies in its first week in stores.

Beastie Boys, the legendary all white rap group come in next. Their new album, Hot Sauce Committee part 2 sold 42,000 copies this week, bringing the total so far to 170,000.

Whiz Khalifa is still on the way to GOLD status; his Rolling Papers album sold 16,000 copies this week, and is now at a total of 387,000 copies sold.

Eminem has popped back into the charts with his Recovery album. I don't know what caused the re-entry but he sold 10,000 copies this week, and is now at a total of 3,853,000. I knew this album would go 4 times platinum (4 million sold), and that is just in the U.S alone; worldwide, it has sold in excess of 6 million copies.

Lil Wayne is still selling his EP, I Am Not A Human Being, which moved 5,700 this week, and brings the total now to 877,000. Jim Jones sold 2,500 copies of his Capo album this week, and is now at 45,000 copies sold.

Rap Albums on The Billboard Chart

The beastie boys are back on the charts, and their new album, Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 sold 127, 833 copies in its first week in stores. That makes the rap trio's new album stand as the number one selling rap album on the billboard charts this week.

Rolling Papers from Whiz Khalifa sold 19, 357 copies this week, and this brings his total so far for this album to 371,111. I wish him all the best on his journey to GOLD status, but i think he would have to drop another hot single from the album before he can do that.

Pink Friday sold 14,165 copies this week, and Nicki Minaj's debut album is now at a total of 1,356, 366. She is hanging in there, but i doubt she can't make it to double platinum. I think she has done good for herself already...i think maybe her sales would stall at around 1.6 million or there about.

I Am Not A Human Being by Lil Wayne sold 6,165 copies this week, bringing the total of the EP to 871,2888. This guy...i can't believe this album is still on the chart. First of all, it was not meant to be an album, and it is not a full length album...it was released first as a digital cd, and later released as EP. I think, from how long this album has been on the charts, that people are really waiting on his Carter 4 album. I wish him all the best. More money for Baby whichever way.

Snoop Dogg's Doggumentary sold 4,092 copies this week, bringing the total to 87,509 copies so far. And Wacka Flocka Flames'Flokaveli sold 3,471 copies, and the total now stands at 258,310. Diddy's Dirty Money album, Last Train to Paris sold 3,251 copies this week, and the total is now at 267,292.
