Hip-Hop Charts For The Week of December 12

Thursday, December 14, 2006
By: Claudio E. Cabrera


EminemAtlanta dominates the charts as it has for the last couple of years. Ciara's sophomore LP, 'The Evolution,' topped the charts with close to 340,000 copies sold in its opening week.The return of Eminem, sort of, along with his Shady Coalition on the 'Re-Up,' lands right behind Ciara at #2 with 309,000 copies sold.

On the flip side, all the "Money in the Bank" talk coming from Lil Scrappy when he said: "My shit gonna sell, your shit gonna flop," went in reverse. Scrappy sold a measly 84,000. All in all, it's been a bad year for the Unit who keeps delivering flop after flop (Banks, Scrappy, and Mobb Deep). 'be surprised if 50 comes to save them before they drown.

Entering the charts this week, for dinner we have 'More Fish' from Ghostface, which has been receiving mixed reviews since its leak last week. The "Mouth of the South," as I like to call him because of his claim that he?s a motivational speaker and his recent comments on Nas, Young Jeezy's 'The Inspiration,' drops this week as well.

Is anyone gonna pick up the young jeezy?? i noticed on the charts that his first album only sold like 170,000 first week n went on to do almost 2 mil..

84000 in 1 week is not a flop, but those g-unit members look ridiculous because, one after the other, they drop their albums saying we gonna get platinum, etc.... Ice cube sold 100000 in a year and is happy with that because his goal was making good music for his fans, it's the same story with fat joe. The day where g-unit rappers are going to think like that, they'll start doing good records again.

How is 84000 not a flop?? everyone was sayin banks flopped with 140,000.. To scrappy, banks must look like tupac back in 96

Scrappy said he was the boss but who got the motherF*ck*ng loss!

I gotta say that i´m surprised by eminem´s numbers...after that encore crap he still manages to sell well...more than 300.000 is not bad at all these days...

Did you really think scrappy would do big numbers? come on man... 4 all yall hatin' on the unit... 50 comin' and all i can say is, 'money n' the bank!!!
Posted by B-real
See, thats what i dont like about yall sh*t heads. First of all, scrappy did fine for scrappy. Were you expect a gold record in one week? or for him to out sell ciara and eminem? second....and this is what really makes me tight. Jeezy has apologized all ready for dissin nas and is showing him mad luv. Yall doosh bags aint gonna give that any light. Yall just wanna see more drama pop off. Then act like they the ones buggin.

To me jay-z and nas are hip hop racist! yea i said racist! i compare their attitude of hip hop to the white mans attitude towards black folks back in the 60's when we were starting to get treated equaly! the white people felt supreme. They felt the way things were was just fine. They didnt want the african americans to have any say so in the matter. Like the buss we rode the backseat in this country. But when we started to speak our mines and a change started takin place they hated it. Thats when everything started getting chaotic. Thats the state that hip hop is in right now. Now that theres a new era some of the people that felt like its their music dont like it. Yea it was kinda ok when lil john came out. It was like "yea we can let lil john in the door but thats it..! but outkast, pastor troy then lil john bust that door down and the hip hop game got flooded with new artist! from the south! now the people whos been in the game longer aint liken it!" its too much now. All im saying is we better wake up! we better over come this conflict. If we dont there may not be no more hip hop period!

These rappers are fake they have no point they rap about the same sh*t over and over it is pointless. Rap is in the 2000,s is pathethic the 90s is where it was and it is a shame that these new rappers F*ck it up i'll name some of the rappers who F*ck it up to.jayz,g unit,slim shady,nas,snoopdogg is even starting to get wack,and many more. And this is a black person saying this we need a change rap about life for once

I see what carlosncashville saying and i must say he is blinded by the southern smog...i am from chicago and moved to tn and they have no sense of hip hop here i picked up my cuz last week (a pure bled tn) listening to supreme clientele and he said it made his head hurt and he needed a dictionary. The south does not make hip hop they make hip pop and they dont know it so that is why some are mad
Posted by 1Mic n TN
Yeah i see your point mchltesfa
Posted by yeah
Hey carlosnfagville, chill out dog. You sound real stupid. As far as em's album, it's fire, so it sold a lot. Scrappy sucks bad, and jeezy has a pretty tight cd.
Posted by CarlosnCashvilleSucks
........... Carlosncashville, that was a very stupid analogy. Jay-z & nas are still seen as the best by most hip hop fans, and that's just for starters on why your bogust analogy is off key...
Posted by evenwhenilie
Leave it up to carlosncashville, to make an asanine remark, a sensitive brotha, hip hop needs all of it now, crunk, gangsta, hardcore, rockas, conscious it is only when the media floods the gate and keeps one concept of hip hop pumping or saturating our ears with one style or concept of hip hop is when we have problems, you all dont support ludacris, we think ludacris is hot and support him, they say in atlanta they dont even play ludacris, we (north and west) supported outkast and you all said we support the pop artist of the south, we support t.i., young jeezy, or lil wayne make there record sales rise as you can see in the article, but they go after our main people so even when we say you are hot, you all just cant digest the fact that my city dont kiss ass, and we never will, it is just something we just dont do. If you are hot, you are hot and we support, but thats it. It is also funny to me that you all claim to support all of your artist, looks to me that ; lil wayne and young jeezy were getting there support from who? the north or the west huh? where yall at 170,000 i thought you all were flooding the gates of hip hop, with record sales, leave it to you all to explain it the record sales only come from the south!! what a joke and i am seriously laughing at you now!! and you deserve it!! because hip hop involves everybody we already as new yorkers dog g-unit or dipset, or any other artist we feel is weak, we just dont put you on a pedestal because you are from the north or east whatever y
Posted by BigO
You want to call it!! while we snap on any of yours, the sensitivity is shown as soon as we say someone is weak, like all of your artist are hot, like i said many of you all are going to learn that the record sales and support come from all over and not just the south, so before you get all sensitive like some p**** learn to accept the fact that we got an opinion on your music also, and that to everybody else it might not be that hot!!!
Posted by BigO
My bad 170,000 first week!! but my point is still valid, i am just man enough to admit a mistake!
Posted by BigO
F*ck the south they all suck........
Posted by FLACO
Let's not get to poetic carlos everybody gots a opinion. If it selling alot of records sombody and alot of them are feelin the music. East coast west coast up north or down south. I don't care they all cool

Posted by yourdaddy
Em was hot in the early 2000's, real hot, but now he F*ck*n sold his F*ck*n soul and hes a F*ck*n joke. Im actually embarrassed to say i liked him cuz hes sucha a F*ck*n joke now. G-unit followed in his footsteps with making the hottest album in 2003 then following it up with the massacre?! is that a joke? he sold his soul and its pathetic. G-unit is a joke and i'd tell them if i saw them. Game is where it's at. If you dont know that you dont know F*ck*n rap. Black wallstrreet.

Man you want to listen to real hip hop there something called underground hip hop i give you a couple a names for you to get started with if you aint familiar with underground theres murs, living legends, atmosphere and his rhyme sayers crew, mf doom, the grouch. Brother ali thats just some names F*ck this commercial rap.

Man look at thoes numbers! scrappy should be feeling real badd right now. But he probloy went double platinum in the bootleg market
Posted by Cloco314
Yeah man geezy bout to kill da charts right now like game did all da real n*ggas the only ones survivin in da game right now every body was doutin game lie he couldn't take the whole unit and they carrer dead cuz game burried it
Posted by JRemy
Hip hop market sales iz goin down cuz da man puttin all our music online for free so we wont make it to platinum cuz they tired of seein all they realastate in n*ggas mouths and on they pinky and in they bank accounts listen speakin of banks he flopped and scrappy just made a remix "i thought i had money in da bank"
Posted by JRemy
First, i wanna say congrats to ciara and eminem for being at the top of the charts. Second, lil scrappy you F*ck*ng suck and i hate that song "money in the bank". I think g-unit F*ck*ng sucks this year and needs to get back on their game. Llyod banks should be a shame of himself cause his first cd was fire. After g-unit lost the gae they went down hill. 50 cent can't really rhyme to save his life and it's because of the rest of g-unit, lloyd, buck, and game, before he left, that he's so damn rich. He pointed that out in his song "piggybank". As artist y'all have to make sure what you put out doesn't disappoint the fans. Get on the ball!! peace!!

Hey carloscashville your an A**hole and don't know what the hell you talking about!!! stupid mu'fukah!!! next, fresh you are a dumbass!! em does not suck now and the massacre wasn't such a hot albim. You don't know true rap!!! also dumbass learn how to spell "wallstreet" , it's with one "r" not two.
Posted by Kenya
Young jeezy's first album went under the radar for a lot of people when it first came out. I know a lot of people whose first jeezy song was "soul survivor." in time, people realized it was a dope album, so i'm sure this one will move 300,000+ easily in its first week.
Posted by Big Red
Game is the truth. Anybody hating on him is mad cause they broke as hell. Jeezy cool. All the real shi4t will sell. Nas nas nas nas will go 5 times platinum. Hip hop is dead rap is coming back

Nas and jay-z are right...their attitudes toward hip-hop reflect the lack of meaning in most of the rap now..its pathetic...if u cant find anything better to rap about than F*ck*ng rims and money you arent talented
Posted by d-girl
I think it was good the south came in the rap game. It just opend up a new branch. What i do think needs to happen is radio and tv stations need to play the music diffrent. Meaning hip hop is the brand; rap is one flavor of hip hop so is crunk music and snap music. Cause i'm from the east and i don't get the snap and the crunk. Then you also got the common and k. West music that i don't get down with either. What i'm saying is you got to judge all music accordling. Don't compare styles to lil john because it don't make sense.. And as far i read somthing about the nas and jay being racist as far as the music goes.. I see it i know where you are coming from.. But at the end of the day. Hip hop done streached and people need to stop trying to keep it contained. Nas says hip hop is dead.. Really doe he time is up hip hop is not the way they know it anymore and it will be leaving them behind.. Because think about it if melly mel says hip hop is moving strong who the F*ck is nas. If kool g rap and rakim says hip hop is moving forward F*ck is a nas after nasty died before 2002.

Whitepeople dont know sh*t about rap/hip hop hip hop rap is black music ./killawalix black power!

I hate all of the negativity in hip hop...jeezy giving n*ggas the inspiration to sell drugs, but where does that lead a lot of black men...jail...i wish there was an artist who would inspire our youth to go to college...a lot of folks on this board are talking sh*t about the south,west,east coast just talking sh*t in general...most of the music today is poison regardless of region..nobody is speaking realness it's all about cars,rims,ho's, and clothes..the realest rapper right now is common his new sh*t is the only rap cd i will buy b/c damn near all of that other rap is a bunch of bull-sh*t..the rap game needs a change...sh*t is dead
Posted by King
Umm..in case ya'll didn't know..look where music started..originally black people ghostwrite songs back in the day for people like elvis and the beach boys and some white boys from the bronx sort of "invented" hip hop beats for people to rap on...in order 2 understand hip hop u have 2 know where it came from and by the way i think eminem is betta than about 50% of other race rappers out there...he's betta than scrappy, all of g-unit [[evn tho banks and 50 are nice]] and he's even better than snoop sometimes..im just tellin the truth from where i see it...in one day i learn the lyrics to a rap or r&b song..so i know if the lyrics make sense or not..money in the bank may have had a good beat and been a nice club song..but songs like "lose yourself" and other songs em made, evn "my band" are betta then that garbage. Im a teenager and yeah, i like all that club hoppin, shoulder lean sh*t but when it comes to knowin who's betta..you gotta look at the lyrics, not even the album sales.
Posted by NewYork_Shorty
Oh, yeah, and coming from someone who uses limewire pro...i download scrappy's and ciara's albums, and i damn sure didn't go 2 circuit city and buy them so u neva know if that cud be a reason y scrappy's sh*t flopped, but hey, im just a 16-year old girl..wtf do i kno.....
Posted by NewYork_Shorty
Killawalli rules! thanks man! i don't know $hit about hiphop. That solves a lot of my problem. I went to the mirror - saw that my skin was white - and now i understand - thank you so much killawalli . I was always wondering why i was always confused. And here it was, it was because of my skin color. Time to go put on my garth brooks cd - that dirty south country fella.
