For the second week in a row no Rap/Hip Hop releases added to the charts. However, there were some movements within the reigning charters. While most releases saw a decrease in position, Pitbull‘s Planet Pit gained a massive 24 spots, J. Cole‘s Cole World debut climbed over 10 spots on the charts, while Game‘s R.E.D. ascended six spots, and Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa‘s Mac + Devin Go To High School Soundtrack release gained a single spot.
Drake’s Take Care Holds Strong At #2
Identical to last week, Drake held down the Rap/Hip Hop charts at #2, beat overall only by Adele. The Toronto emcee’s studio sophomore effort was just over 80,000 units behind the prodigous singer. Drizzy’s fourth overall commercial release (including the Young Money album) features Rick Ross, Kendrick Lamar and Nicki Minaj. The work is sitting at just under 1.3 million copies sold for the Cash Money/Young Money family.
Childish Gambino’s Camp Remains A Top 100 Release
Comedian/actor/writer-turned rapper Childish Gambino (a/k/a Donald Glover) continues to give Glassnote Records their first six-figure-selling Hip Hop album. The Community star’s album continues to thrive without radio-play, as the 28 year-old largely self-produced his studio debut. His three previous street albums include Poindexter, Culdesac and Sickboi.

Common ain’t doin’ too well
Naturally, Drake is doing nelly numbers………….for now.

Sales to me depends on who’s buying the shit. Like take care went platinum so did carter 4. Question is who bought that shit. Let’s see females 65% sells right there and most of them will tell you they don’t know the lyrics or don’t care about em, 35% were young bucks who think anyone who says swag is the shit, and the rest are followers. It’s alright to dislike young money little niggas and the bullshit on the radio. The niggas clowning you because u don’t like that weak are clowns themselves. I ain’t hating this what the fuck I see.
so now we breaking down who buying records? you dudes get lamer everyday homie give props and keep it moving
Cosign. There should be a percentage allocated to gays like JOE6PACKNCGBOR336 aswell.
Birdman bought half of lil wayne and drakes albums, I know it for a fact.
we all know it for a fact

YMCMB
Yea muthafuckas always bragging about sales, I’m letting it be known. Majority of these people buying albums don’t care about hip hop but stay throwing these wack niggas sales in our faces. Mainly ymcmb fans. So I’m letting it be known people who like beats and rhymes ain’t buying that shit. Yea i broke it down. Bitches buy most of this shit and they don’t know shit about hip hop. And u niggas buying c4, take care, and the other bs only bought it cause the Bitches bought it, you a youngster, or you a following ass nigga.
And when I said beats and rhymes I mean dope shit.
hip hop dx yall messed up on numbers alittle if j.cole sold 498,000 copies last week and sold 508,000 copies this week that means he sold another 10,000 copies not 9,600 cause that would put him at 507,600 not 508,000 just thought i point that out never the less congrats to j.cole he’s gone gold now over 500,000 copies sold
Its obviously rounded up smart-ass!! lol
J.Cole is a beast tho

Aubrey
Aka the Ryan Seacrest of rap. Son is the safest nigga on earth. This the type a NAHGGER that old rich white men try to set up wit they daughters n shit. This nigga wasnt born yo….he was blossomed. When he aint startin pillow fights on tour n pollinatin flowers n shit son stays spittin wit that tenderized Stephen Hawking voice. The niggas heart got a ponytail. Son could probably make you any origami animal you ask him to namsayin. He the type a nigga to sprinkle rose pedals on his bed before he go to sleep n shit. Son could probably frost a cake usin his eyes nahmean. This niggas moms n pops basically got Rick Rolled when the doctor said “Its a boy!” But it aint like Tone wanna see the nigga get torn to pieces by a pack a wolves n shit. If I seen him would the god wanna beat the garnier fructis outta him? I dont kno b. Maybe?
But if somebody asked me ayo Tone you think this nigga ever caught snowflakes on his tongue before? I would say yeah. Absolutely yo. If somebody asked me ayo Tone you think that if we was watchin figure skatin wit that nigga Aubrey that he could tell niggas the difference between a triple toe loop n a triple lutz? Again yo I gotta say no doubt pa. That aint the types a shit that the average nigga be knowin but I think that son can definitely tell the difference g. If somebody asked ayo Toney you think this nigga ever nursed a insect or small rodent back to health? Word is bond yo I gotta say hell yeah g. Probably jus yesterday even.
ayo these comments are some of the funniest shit i ever read in my life. do standup mayne lol this shit is too funny
1. YMCMB
As in ey’body in Young Money that aint Jae Millz, Cory Gunz or Mack Maine…jus to clarify that shit. But the rest a these muthafuckas is like the X-Men of soft ass muthafuckas son. Yall already kno that nigga Drake is the human electric slide b. This the type a cornball ass nigga who pulls up in the McDonalds drive thru to order a smile wit his meals nahmean. When he aint craftin summa the most bitchmade songs known to man he probably spends his time twirlin round in prairies n braiding blades of grass together to make clothes for wild animals n stupid shit like that yo. Nigga probably swings his window shutters open in the morning n has birds n squirrels crawlin up his curtains while he sings songs to them n shit. You might catch that nigga in the forest playin a harp or sumthin namsayin. Son probably got pictures on his walls of miniature babies sittin in fruit bowls n sproutin from gardens n shit like that. That muthafucka mussa got bit by a radioactive butterfly one day namsayin. Word is bond. Ayo son…there aint a number invented by man that could count how many times I felt like slappin the shit outta a nigga for sayin that Nicki Minaj got talent b. All I kno is I need that broad to get 5000% the fuck outta here son. And them Lil Twist n Chuckee muthafuckas is barely outta diapers b. These niggas still use bibs n sippy cups yo. Young Money might be the only label that got a jungle gym in they offices b. Then you got that nigga Tyga…who’s jus a straight crumpet muthafucka son. That nigga probably holds his hands over his mouth when he laughs yo. That 27 lb muthafucka look like he crawls round on mountains followin Sam n Frodo on his spare time son. Ayo but somebody explain to me what Gudda Gudda’s purpose in life is b. Gudda is the most dead weight nigga in any crew since Meeno was in Harlem World yo. That muthafucka makes City Spud n Murphy Lee seem like Beans n Free. Did this nigga save Weezy’s life or some shit b? Speakin of that nigga… That brings us to the gardener of wackness hisself yo…Weezy “Fenomenal” Baby. Ayo son…you was rhymin like a fuckin moron on ya last album b…I cant lie yo. But that shit still had some decent joints on it. So the god aint gon pretend like he bout to stop listenin to ya shit. But you need to drop like 87% of the muthafuckas you been signin to ya label b.

Hhdx need to start moderating this site, as a black person I’m sick and tired of being called a nigga all the time by crackers like Yadig/Yessir/Rico 3. This guy is a kkk member and this site just allow him to rant on. Keep dumb mutherfuckers like this out of hip hop!
rofl this yessir dude is crazy
Drake is a fruitcake, his fans are even worse they hate hip hop music and troll websites like this, like young money is cutting them cheques.
Common record sales shows that hip hop truly is dead i mean how could LMFAO be gold already those guys make club music only dam shame i tell u……………….
CHECK OUT THE MUSIC
http://soundcloud.com/inevitable-success/sets/taste-of-success/
IF HIP HOP IS DEAD COMMON KILLED IT WITH THAT TECHNO ALBUM HE DROPPED REMEMBER THAT?
DAKE AND WAYNE SAVING HIPHOP SHOUT OUT TO BIRDMAN
Maaaan go get a rope and hang out
That ‘Techno’ album was inspired and dedicated to Afrika Bambaataa you fucking dumbass, YESSIR.
All Drakes dickriders have is sales figures, I guess MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice are great artists like YMCMB If were to go on sales. Drakes time will soon be up, and he can join the rest of those hip hop failures.
so common’s status is predicated off of what? a bunch of white kids on the net thinking they know hip-hop? what about the fact that take care also received an aggregate 8/10 rating from critics? dumbass

Drake is just doing the same shit as his debut thank me later Pop shit and soft club beats. People are gonna start to realize it and stop buying his shit.
You know what just enjoy the albums as they come out regardless of sales. And lets be honest alot of the artists within hip hop or rap all network with one another various friends and collaberaters. Granted I do not like all that is out there at the moment but who does.
To really find out who is alligned with who and who associates with you on the regular read the thank you section of the hip hop/rap records that you buy weather the album is considered mainstream or underground, known artists or unknown artist.
They all pass thru eachother at various shows and functions. regardless of weather they would appear on the same album or not together or not.
Look enjoy the records and stay blessed.
what label is yo gotti on now that jive or j records is no more? and why the fuck did they set him up to fail? who the fuck puts out an album in january knowing damn well their artist is not gunna get any sales from kids with their itunes christmas gift cards…
