The Numbers Game: New Money
February 11, 2009 by B-Easy · 2 Comments
You see what they made me do? The releases are so slow right now that I had to go make a banner for The Numbers Game because I didn’t know who should be pictured (I mean, I could have threw Rihanna up there, but that would have been f*cked up.) Read more
The Numbers Game: Beyonce Stays On Top

You know there must be a shortage of Hip-Hop releases when Beyonce gets the picture…twice. I’m not gonna really gonna go into about how there are no relevant Hip-Hop album coming out in the beginning of 2009; if you read any past Numbers Game columns this year you already know I said this a hundred times already.

We still here? I thought a Numbers Game this week wouldn’t see the light of day, but here we are. But hey, we’ll talk about that drama another time. Even though this January has been rough for the nappyafro crew, I can’t wait for this releases to start coming in. Think about it: Mariah Carey is the only R&B/Hip-Hop debut this week in the Top 50 Read more
The Numbers Game: Golden

Okay, I got like 20 minutes to get this The Numbers Game up (I’ve never been late on one before). No debuts this week so there’s not a lot of difference from last week. I guess the only thing I can say about this week is that in a month or so, Ludacris, Keyshia Cole, Jamie Foxx, John Legend, & T-Pain will go Gold. It looks like January will be a slow month… Read more

Damn, it’s 2009 already? After almost doing this column 40 times now, it still feels like I just started this yesterday. What does ‘09 hold for Hip-Hop on the charts? We’ll see a new Eminem album, maybe Detox, hopefully Blueprint 3 as well as a host of other releases (January looks slack as hell by the way). But before we get to that, here’s the first edition of the Numbers Game for the new year. Read more
The Numbers Game: Soulja Boy Debuts At #43

What? You thought I was gonna miss out on telling you how much Plies and Soulja Boy sold last week. Consider this a early X-Mas present; The Numbers Game is here a day early (Now in paragraph format!). A lot of artists benefited from the holiday shopping boost (while some didn’t). Well since H20’s iSouljaboytellem review last week had the comments jumping, we’ll start there: Read more

Not being a huge fan of the group Nappy Roots, I haven’t really been to big on them since their debut album Watermelon, Chicken & Gritz released in 2002, which featured the hit singles “Awnaw” and “Po’ Folks”. This is their third studio album since their 2003 release Wooden Leather Read more
