The Numbers Game: Black Eyed Peas Close In On Gold
*Sigh* I know the big news talk of the week is about will.i.am’s manager giving blogger Perez Hilton a few punches to the face, but I still hate to make Black Eyed Peas this week’s headline. But hey, The E.N.D. will probably be gold next week
The Numbers Game: New Money
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.)
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 [...]
The Numbers Game: Kanye Stays At #4
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 [...]
The Numbers Game: Kanye Goes Platinum
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 Numbers Game: Beyoncé Is #1
Did anybody think Beyoncé wasn’t gonna get the #1 spot this week? I mean, this is her third straight #1 album. But don’t ask me about how I Am…Sasha Fierce sounds; I only heard the songs played on the radio (I asked my girl and she mumbled something about bullshit and walked off). Well, I [...]
Kanye Leaks
With all of the leaks that have been springing up lately, you didn’t think that Marty McFly was going to escape untouched did you? Artists may as well get used to what is going on. No, it isn’t fair to them, but you have to love the fact that people want to hear your [...]
Roc Nation: Will It Be Different This Time?
We’ve all heard that Hov signed a deal with Live Nation, which is called Roc Nation, and this deal will be used to fund all of Jay’s entertainment ventures, like a new record label, also called Roc Nation. This deal was signed back in April, and was reported worth 150 Million DOLLARS! However, for this [...]
Are Rappers The New Superheroes?
I’m a big kid. You know it, I know it. I paid to see all the Spider-Man movies and all three X-Men movies. I own the entire collection of Star Wars movies on DVD. The “Special Collector’s Edition” of course. So when I started seeing the trailers for the new Batman, Iron Man, and Incredible [...]
5 Questions: Game’s LAX, Young Buck, Jayonce, Nas’ Nigger, & Female MC’s
My inbox was full of requests for 5 Questions, so you know I like giving the people what they want! (NH) So this time we’re talking about the absence of the female MC, Nigger, Buck’s future, LAX, and last but not least Jayonce! I know B-Easy’s still upset about the wedding. NO, not because Beyonce’s [...]
