About Me

Either you like 50 or The Sugar Hill gang, Hip- Hop is now at the forefront of marketability, Have the lyrics and flow of Slick rick and Rakim, been silenced by the gun shots on every hood mixtape, have we become too commercial, Some say yes. I say that change is inevitable, and in an ever changing world where music is the reflection of our lives, there is nowhere else to go but Forward! This is a Forum where we will post and discuss all fascists of Hip-Hop, Also we will feature any Unsigned artists, IF you want to be judged by your peers this is where it can happen Sincerely Hip-Hop(ICU)

THIS WEEK IN SALES

How times have changed. Bow Wow was just six years old when "Enter The 36 Chambers" was released in 1993.

Now with controversy swirling around Wu-Tang Clan's release of "8 Diagrams", it was Bow Wow & Omarion's "Face Off" that easily topped the hip-hop sales charts, moving 107,000 units in its first week. "Face Off" landed at #11 overall.

The highly anticipated return of the Wu hit #25 overall, moving just 68,000 copies.

Also topping the Shaolin crew was Cash Money CEO Birdman. "5 * Stunna" debuted at #18, selling 86,000 copies.

The State Property family suffered yet another disappointing debut, with Beanie Sigel's "The Solution", debuting at #37 with 49,000 units. Last month Freeway debuted at #42 with disappointing numbers (36,113).

Alicia Keys' "As I Am" held steady at the #2 spot for the second straight week, moving an impressive 292,000 more albums.

Sales this week are down 23.1% from the same week last year
