The Numbers Game: T.I. Is Double Platinum
It took almost a year, but Mr. Road To Redemption himself has finally gotten his double Platinum plaques. No matter what you say about T.I., in this day and time, pushing 2 million units is a great accomplishment
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: 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 [...]
Young Dro & Yung LA|Black Boy White Boy [Mixtape]
With T.I.’s Paper Trail pushing past 1.5 million albums sold after four months; you have to wonder what is next for Grand Hustle? After carrying the label for almost a decade single handedly; the Grand Hustle roster will be forced to keep the label afloat while Tip does a year for felony gun charges. [...]
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: T.I. Still On Paper Trail
Even though T.I. got bumped down to the #3 spot this week by the likes of AC/DC & the cast of High School Musical, Paper Trail is still only less than 30,000 copies away from Platinum status (And seeing how he pushing around a 100k a week…). Not to take anything away from Clifford, I [...]
The Numbers Game: T.I. Is #2 & The Game Gets Gold
Since this week’s Numbers Game basically had no big Hip-Hop debuts and no noticeable movement, I’m basically mailing it in this week. A lot of albums got pushed to November too so the next few weeks might be a little slow (Even though I thought Statik Selektah’s Stick To The Script was good, I doubt [...]
The Numbers Game: T.I. Is Still #1 & Jeezy Hits Gold
You know, looking at that picture of T.I. & Jeezy made me think: Hip-Hop really lives in the South (Well at least right now). Think about it, other than The Game’s L.A.X., all of 2008’s big sellers have all called the South home. Lil’ Wayne, T.I., & Young Jeezy (In that order) have all had [...]
