Tony Yayo: New Album News?

I go away from the blog for a week and all my video links infringe on copyrights?  Oh, well it's not like i stole the video's I just used my source OnSmash.  Any how the hype man for G-Unit has a new album coming out which will draw a few yawns, but the good news is he has Bun B and Twista featured on the joint.  So if anything a collaboration between Yayo and some different rappers might be something to listen to...

Hip Hop Downfall?

You have got to be kidding me! In this article Bun B along with other rappers break down the state of hip hop. Personally I feel Hip Hop has gotten so big that now it can safely be in competition with Rock, Pop, etc. Before there was a time where Hip Hop was against the grain, and still while it has some of those aspects, the commercial appeal is still on a high level. Here is the article for you to read and decide whether or not these rappers have an idea about what's going on, or if they just want some media time.

Best Rapper Alive: Total Albums & US Sales

So for my first post I will compare record sales and total albums. I have decided to use Wikipedia as my source for Discography on each artist. What I will list on this post is the rapper's name, number of album's, and total approximate US sales. Also, I will not be posting any collaboration albums, just individual albums.

• Jay Z - Total Albums: 10, Total Sales: 23 Million Albums (RIAA)
• T.I. - Total Albums: 6, Total Sales: 7.5 Million Albums (RIAA)
• Lil Wayne - Total Albums: 6, Total Sales: 9.3 Million Albums (RIAA)
• Eminem - Total Albums: 5, Total Sales: 29.5 Million Albums (RIAA)
• The Game - Total Albums: 3, Total Sales: 4.2 Million Albums (RIAA)
• 50 Cent - Total Albums: 3, Total Sales: 14.5 Million Albums (RIAA)
  
• Ludacris - Total Albums: 6, Total Sales: 15 Million Albums (RIAA)
  
• Young Jeezy - Total Albums: 5, Total Sales: 3.6 Million Albums (RIAA)
  
• Bun B - Total Albums: 2, Total Sales: 800k Albums (RIAA)

So after getting all this information together, the rapper with the most total album sales goes to Eminem who has nearly 6 million more sales in the US compared to Jay-Z. Once again these numbers are from the US, so they could be altered on a Worldwide level. So far though The Game, and Bun B do not have the commercial appeal I thought they did, but that could also be because they have the fewest individual albums released compared to the rest. The one exception is 50 cent who because of his first album has some pretty incredible numbers. Young Jeezy on the other hand has dropped 5 cd's which I didn't know about, and that seems like it hurt's his appeal based on just numbers.

TNT - Three Doors Down ft. Bun B

This track is pretty chill. I do not know a lot about who does this song except that they make some Texas references which is my hometown state. Other than that Bun B is on point, check it out and let me know what you think.
