The Numbers Game: Jamie, Beyoncé, & Clifford
For some reason, this week has been hard on your boy B-Easy. Not to say I’m not working on projects for nappyafro. I’m ALWAYS working on projects for nappyafro (Shit, I gave you people magic earlier this week). No complaints though
The Numbers Game: Uncle Charlie Surprises, Akon Goes Gold, & N.A.S.A. Debuts
Raise your hand if you even knew Charlie Wilson’s album came out last week. Okay, I knew it wasn’t just me. The Gap Band’s lead singer did some business this week and took the #2 spot with his 4th album Uncle Charlie.
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: Jazmine Sullivan Debuts At #6
I was this close to not doing a Numbers Game this week. Why you ask? Well, this week we had a plethora of R&B acts invade the charts and really not much Hip-Hop. But then the more I thought about, I realized that I have been listening to a lot more R&B lately (The Robin [...]
The Numbers Game: Ne-Yo Is #2
Okay, I’ll admit it. When you all said Ne-Yo was gonna sell around 200,000 albums in the first week, I laughed. Then I actually listened to Year Of The Gentleman (After Thic got his grown man on and wrote a dope article about it) and I was like, “Yea, 200,000 is about right”. Even though [...]
Turn Yo’ Headphones Up: Ne-Yo|Year Of The Gentleman
Right before our eyes, the lines of pop, R&B, and Hip-Hop are fast blurring as rappers are singing more and more, singers are rapping, and rock artists are getting more cameos on rap songs. Music is growing up, what a great time to love music. We focus on Hip-Hop here at the Fro’ [...]
