According to BallerStatus it was a dismal week for urban music. Bon Jovi and The White Stripes enjoyed nice debuts, topping the charts.
Shop Boyz couldn’t party like rock stars for their Rockstar Mentality release that came in at no. 11 with 52,000 copies. It appears as one-hit wonder-dom is making itself known to these gents. I hope you didn’t waste that advance money!! It’s a wrap!
Huey, who had a hit with Pop, Lock & Drop It on the radio, came in at a weak no. 14 on the charts, with 49,000 copies of his album Notebook Paper sold. I bet he wishes he didn’t talk sh*t about Nelly now huh?
Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, Chrisette Michele’s I Am debuted at no. 26. That’s too bad because that sister is great! Def Jam obviously felt she needed less promo than the less talented Rihanna. I’m just saying…..
T-Pain’s sophomore swill album Epiphany dipped to no.10 just in its third week on the charts. It only moved 56,000 units. Maybe instead of buying “dranks” he should by a voice coach. That way his crap wouldn’t slide so low, so fast.
Rihanna’s Good Girl Gone Bad slipped two spots to no. 12 with 51,000 copies sold. She has sold a total of 295,000 copies. OUCH! That’s not good. It’s not bad, but it’s not good for stateside sales.
Oddly, but not surprisingly, the lady with the rats on her head, Amy Winehouse, went from no. 10 to no. 7 on the charts despite a DECREASE in sales. Good to see she’s still on there. I highly recommend her and Chrisette’s albums. Good music!
Poor Deborah Cox came in at no. 175 with her album Destination Moon.
Some believe that this is not only a reflection of the poor records sales affecting the music industry in general, but of the urban music industry. These were all much promoted albums and they don’t seem to have any holding power.
On the one hand I find this song funny because I feel like it’s an accurate depiction of what mainstream rap has become. I say mainstream because the underground stuff I’ve heard is GOOD but they don’t play it on the radio. It’s unfair to the listeners. On the one hand it may be offensive to some because they may think it’s racist or bigoted. I don’t think it’s racist so much as painfully honest. Leave a comment on what you think (if you feel like it anyway).
I couldn’t help myself. Yes I’ve resorted to grafitti. I am THAT sleepy today. Jesus be 4 p.m. on the clock. (Photo of Rich Boy At Polow Da Don’s Pre-BET Awards Party spotted at Ozone Mag)
YES! Yeah it’s a slow gossip day. Never mind the fact that it’s Friday and I would rather be at home. This cheered me up a little though. Sexy Daniel Craig is slated to play James Bond again in the next installment. He’s already signed up for the next movie. No official title or plans for the movie have been announced.
I don’t care what they do. All I know is they better make sure that man walks up out of the water in some hot pants swim shorts again. I volunteer to be the oil girl. You know? The girl that rubs the oil all over his boooo-dy so that when he comes out the water he glistens. I must go now….I just drooled on my keyboard.
Britney Spears pulled out of a concert with Cyndi Lauper because she refuses to sing live. She will NOT do it. Lauper told the pop skank that in order to be in on the concert she had to sing live, and not lip sync. She was scheduled to perform one song.
Bitch please! We all know she is going to need money sooner than later. She isn’t doing anything, and money doesn’t grow on trees. I guess if I were her I would be afraid to open my beak to squawk. She could never sing to begin with and now what with her “protein” diet courtesy of whichever man is hitting, I suppose it does a number on one’s vocal cords. She can’t sing as bad as Rihanna right? Right????
I’ve already special ordered mine. So whenever I ask Mr. Beatnik how I look or who ate up all the Oreos and he lies….I can just let him have it. Straight to the berries and twig. This Japanese game show has the right idea. Check it out:
Britney Spears was spotted at the grocery store pretending to care about her kids getting some bottles and other baby stuff for her two kids. While that wasn’t weird (well it’s weird to see her do anything for her kids to me), her choice of outfit was. Girl stop. I wish she would just get to the point and go around the place NAKED with a sign around her neck that reads: “Will F*ck For Fame, Beats or Relevance.” I see right through you girl!
That dirty bitch Kate Moss! She doesn’t deserve this hot man! No sir. I DO! What he needs is a girl that can really clean his warts right! Who can make sure his scabs heal right, you know what I mean? A real ride or die and not vomit chic. That’s me. I wouldn’t gag when I had to do his bi-weekly oil scrapings off his skin! Watch your back, Moss!
Yeah a little mean, but true. The looks stopped at ONE child and fuck all went to the other two sisters. Kim, Kourtney and Kloe Kardashian (The KKK sisters) were out to celebrate the 5W PR Summer Soiree. Stuff your faces ladies! As for the last picture with Kim and model Claudia Jordan, I’m sure that wasn’t a very hard pose for them to pull off. The only variation is that they are probably on their knees when they do it. Good look!
A little crass? Sue me. I blame the BET Awards for this. Just when I was recuperating from seeing Trick Daddy and Rick Ross at the Ozone Mag event earlier this week, curiosity killed MY CAT again upon clicking on this picture. After seeing this picture, I’ve decided to go celibate until I see Reggie Bush’s picture again until Mr. Beatnik can dress like a Roman Centurion for me again. Webbie, you have ALL of this money but your Oscar The Grouch looking ass can’t go get Ms. Kim to wax your shit???? Come on now. Jazze Phe, there are no words. This is what you really look like Webbie! Come on now!
Why am I happy as hell? I won’t even front anymore. See this is what the crappy recording industry has done to me. Back in the day these girls were whack, but now that things have gotten worse they are the lesser of two evils. Go figure! I guess listening to “Umbrella” by Rihanna all over the damned place will make you crack. That and I don’t feel as old lol. They make having kids look good…..
Hey just real quick, yesterday after alot of grinding and going to bed late, dedication pays off. Over 1,000 views and return visitors included. THANK YOU!
