(Week Ending On 3/6/12) Debuting at #3 is Kid Cudi and Dot Da Genius’ WZRD (G.O.O.D./Universal Republic) project that sold just over 70,000 units despite the public outcry from the Cleveland native that his label massively undershipped the album. It appears that although the numbers are nowhere near his previous debuts, Man On the Moon and Man On the Moon II (G.O.O.D./Universal Republic), the fans still showed support for Mr. Solo Dolo despite his label’s misgivings. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC84Vb2gxL0&w=560&h=315] Whitney Houston continues to dominate the charts, as fans worldwide look to rediscover the iconic singer’s music through her many albums. After setting a record last week for having three albums in the Top 10, this week, Houston’s music continues to break records with a currect four albums in the Top 10. Houston’s Greatest Hits (RCA) sold 109,735 units and came in at #2 while her soundtrack to the film The Bodyguard (RCA) sold 44,266 units, landing the soundtrack at the #4 spot. Coming in at #9 and #10 are Whitney Houston (RCA) and I Look To You (RCA). The former sold 25,834 copies while the latter saw a 15 percent sales increase from the week prior, moving just under 25,000 copies. In addition to this feat, the singer has four more albums all charting between the #24 and #36 spots this week. Young Money rapper Tyga, who debuted at #4 last week, dropped three spots to #7, selling 35,268 copies of his album, Careless World: Rise Of The Last King (YM/Cash Money/Universal Republic). [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oC4sAbg-fxs&w=560&h=315] Drake and Rihanna claimed the #11 and #12 spots with their respective albums, Take Care (YM/Cash Money/Universal Republic) and Talk That Talk (Def Jam). The former sold 23,719 units and saw an 8 percent sales decrease, while the latter sold just over 20,000 units and saw an 11 percent sales decrease. Coming in one spot lower than last week at #26 is Young Jeezy’s fourth offering TM103 (Def Jam), which sold approximately 15,000 units. The rapper’s Gold-certified TM103 has experienced healthy sales since its release; Young Jeezy is currently on the road with his Hustlerz Ambition tour, which has been selling out at venues nationwide. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9chJZcHU6_o&w=560&h=315] Singer Estelle’s new album All Of Me (Atlantic) debuted at #29 after selling 13,676 copies in its first week of release. Albums from both The Throne and Lil Wayne continue to sell after charting at #39 and #42 respectively this week. Rounding out the Top 50 is Chiddy Bang who’s debut album Breakfast (I.R.S./Virgin) saw a 67 percent sales decrease from the week prior, where it debuted at #9 and sold about 31,000 copies. This week, the duo sold 10,125 units. Albums from both Maino, who released The Day After Tomorrow (Atlantic) and Ja Rule failed to chart in the Top 50 this week, despite mostly positive reviews.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Did Yasiin Bey aka Mos Def Diss The Throne?!
Yasiin Bey aka Mos Def recently released a remix to The Throne’s “Ni**a’s In Paris” entitled “Ni**ga’s in Poorest” to commemorate the anniversary of Malcom X’s death. On the track Yasiin Bey takes the exact opposite approach that Kanye West and Jay-Z took on the track and instead raps about poverty and violence. The tone is somewhat chastising towards the original track with Yasiin rapping: “Don’t get caught up in no throne,” and “Who the f-ck is Margiela?” This is all pretty odd considering that last time we check, Yasiin Bey was a G.O.O.D. Music affiliate. Check out the video and lyrics below: “These young bloods is looking scary at the mall They wearing pants, you can still see they drawers They rob a n#### in the bathroom stall They took his life cause he ain’t want to take it off Poor so hard, that sh-t cray, ain’t it, Bey? Diabetics, fish filet Poor so hard, your house so cold, ni–a, it ain’t spring Every winter landlord f-ckin’ with my heat again Bougie girl, grab your hand, show you how to do this ghetto dance F-ck your French, we ain’t in France, I’m just saying Prince Williams ain’t do it right, if you ask me If I was him, I’d put some black up in my family Fake Gucci, my ni–a, fake Louis, my killa Real drugs, my dealer, who the f-ck is Margiela? Doctors say I’m the illest, I ain’t got no insurance It’s them ni–as in poorest, be them rebel guerillas, huh” Do you think Yasiin Bey is taking shots at The Throne?

Hip-Hop Rumors: Frank Ocean Cancels Shows! Kanye Wants “All of the Lights” Turned On?
Frank Ocean Cancels NYC Show… Last night, while The Throne was tearing the roof off of the IZOD Center, Odd Future crooner Frank Ocean was set to perform at the Bowery Ballroom as part of his solo tour. Before the show’s start time last night, Ocean issued the following ‘statement’: “or should i say postponed. i played last night in new orleans, on antibiotics and some other meds. got sick a cpl days before i left los angeles. woke up this morning in new york and could barely speak. called a doctor to my hotel, got a steroid shot. took some more meds. laid in bed allday till soundcheck, got to the venue and could barely sing any of my songs. im really sorry yall. i been workin on this show for months, did everything i could to make it special for yall. i’ll be back soon as i’m healthy. thats my word. tickets will be valid for that, or you guys can get refunded. damn. this s### sucks.” Although a ton of fans were surely disappointed, there’s nothing you can do about not being able to sing when you’re a singer. Get well soon, Frank! Kanye Halts Concert Until “All Of the Lights” are Turned on… “Light man, where’s all my lights at?” [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCj0__i9C4U&w=420&h=315] The video above is from The Throne’s recent stop in Washington D.C. Tonight, they will be doing their thing at the first of a two-show stint at Madison Square Garden in NYC. Nothing wrong with a man wanting the lights on! LOL! Quickies: -Not only will Young Jeezy’s constantly delayed album, TM: 103, feature verses from Andre 3000 and Jay-Z, Eminem is also set to be featured the December 20 release. Find out five things about the album that you didn’t know HERE! -RZA joins cast of Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained which also stars Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Samuel L. Jackson. Bobby Digital will be playing…a slave? -For those following at home or even care, Beiber will be taking a paternity test and then suing the “baby mama.” -Drake and Rick Ross are working on a joint mixtape called Y.O.L.O. (You Only Live Once). According to Drake, “I’ve been working on that for the last couple of weeks. We haven’t really connected because he’s been going through this thing with his health. I’ve been stashing my little beats and verses.” -Earlier today, Lindsay Lohan began serving her 30-day jail sentence. In no time at all she was released for “prison overpopulation.” Someone do something, PLEASE! –A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas was originally intended to be titled: Harold & Kumar and the Legend of Eazy-E’s Stash. Obviously there would have been nothing Christmasy about it, and that would have been the right way to go as we’re sure those that saw it will agree!
