    1. You see kids, this is what happens when you backstab cash money. All your success will be gone. Can’t wait for the upcoming album, Khaled lost, tribute to the backstabbing dj. Companion to nas lost.

    2. Where does HHDX come up with these numbers from??? If you go to BillBoard.com there is no week ending 10/29 like this article says. It is either ending 10/31 or 11/7 – and either way the numbers do not match what you have here. What gives???

    3. My best buy ran out of game’s documentry 2 they have 2.5 which I bought since they had a special but I wanted the first half.

    4. I don’t know why they don’t have G Easy on here dude is still moving units and is almost gold he has a huge buzz!!
