For the first time in several months, there were no Hip Hop/Rap albums debuting in the Top 200. In fact, no releases even showed up in the Top 25, another rarity in this year’s Waka Flocka Flame’s latest studio album led all Rap releases for a second consecutive week. Los Angeles, California DXnext emcee Kid Ink continued to move independent units digitally, staying high in the pack. B.o.B.’s sophomore project received a nice boost with its latest single, climbing 17 spots and even passing his collaborator and peer Drake, with his own second studio album.
Waka Flocka Flame’s Triple F Life Comes First In The Charts
At just under 50,000 overall units, Waka Flocka Flame weathered the storm to lead Rap albums sales for a second consecutive week in his sophomore studio album, Triple F Life: Fans, Friends & Family. This is Waka’s third Warner Bros. Records release, following last year’s Ferrari Boyz project with early mentor Gucci Mane, and it’s his second Top 10 album. Backed by the eventually-Drake-featuring single from 2011, “Round Of Applause,” the album features Meek Mill, Nicki Minaj and the late Brick Squad member Slim Dunkin.
Kid Ink Wants To Permanently Tattoo Hip Hop With Up & Away
Producer/emcee Kid Ink may be the latest DIY Hip Hop success stories. The tattooed sensation’s Up & Away crossed the 25,000 mark this past week, a powerful feat for Tha Alumni imprint. The 26 year-old did also work with Jahlil Beats and Cardiak on the 13-track effort backed by singles “Time Of Your Life” and “Lost In The Sauce.”

Can Large Professor’s 2012 renaissance find its way onto the charts? Stay tuned to HipHopDX.
Good for Kid Ink. This album was the first Kid Ink project I’ve ever heard and then I downloaded his past work.
I’m surprised this is getting much play in my ride as I consider myself a purists and I’m not really into “swag” rappers.
But more and more I’m finding myself reaching his cd. I love my street shit but can’t listen to that shit ALL the time. Not a fan of flossing rappers misleading these young idiots who think everything is gravy in a country where everything IS NOT.
Happy to see cats still doing it independently…
You probably just like Kid Ink cuase he was involved in the Mac Dre assassination.
No he wasn’t.
@ dentaldamboy
Don’t know anything about Kid Ink involved in that Mac Dre assassination. Is that what the rumor is?
I think I’m feeling Kid Ink’s stuff right now cause it’s just “Feel Good” shit.
Wake up in the morning, sky is blue sun is shining, you look at your family, and where you live now compared to how you used to live growing up in the projects when a lot of people you know are dead or locked… and you thank god for your blessings…
It’s crazy I know..
I see lots of YMCMB up on that list. Where is Pusha T? Does he have a mixtape planned? An album planned? Nope…he’s got nothing.
Quality>Quantity
Besides, Cruel Summer from GOOD Music will blow YMCMB away.
Like ^^^^ said, the GOOD Music album is coming out. That’s what Pusha got planned.
dentaldamboy whether you like him or not said some true shit. if it was the other way around yall would let young money have it. stop making excuses based on personal opinion.
Another YMCMB stan/dickrider.
just annoys me that tattoo baboon-faced nigga Tyga sells more than B.o.B
hes only sold more because its been out longer b.o.b album had better first week sales. B.O.B also happens to shit on tyga!
how can anyone say the RED ALBUM WAS A FLOP?? look at these numbers?? fools…anyway, think RED,,support real hiphop..
howcome drakes family wasn’t killed in WWII
Because they come from American/Africa… You dumb hicky!
he guys I’m i the only one thinking drakes a fag?
I that because he fucked your girl?
U have a very bad grammar and cant spell for shit hater
^^ Are you being ironic?
Damn Drake stay on the charts!
Busta and Drake most talented on that label..Nicki can spit when she want… the rest of them are garbage, including Wayne!
^^ Nah man. Drake is wack
How many copies did Juvenile’s REJUVENATION sell? Is HHDX purposely leaving him out of this story or did these YMCMBrats blacklist him enough where he’s not on there?
LAUGHTERHOUSE ** WOULD HAVE SOLD ** 250… MAYBE 300,000!!!
FREE LAUGHTERHOUSE!!!
DOESN’T JIMMY IOVINE WANT TO ‘GET THAT PAPER’?!?!
JOELL ORTIZ NEEDS TO EAT– A LOT!!!
reall hip hop lives on with GAME..SUPPORT RED ALBUM GUYS..IT DID NOT FLOP..look at everyone elses #s…and if it did, why didnt interscope drop him b4 his next album?
Man record sales are shit now… I want Anti-Piracy in place, artists are just getting robbed.
PS. Trolls get a life!
so if Slaughterhouse is so “hot” and “scary” how come all their “new” “fans” aren’t buying up their old records?
surely all the Interscope hype and Eminem handjobs must have some effect?
Mustn’t it?
Yet these bums can’t even get back on the charts with an HUGE audience desperate to hear them.
What gives?
Retard.
They have gained fans but they’ve substantially gained haters examples up & below me…
thanks for proving that they made it.
YA CURRENSY STILL ON THERE, EVERYONE GO OUT AND SUPPORT REAL HIP HOP GOT BUY THAT SHIT!
THEY NEED TO DROP A VINYL VERSION I’D COP THAT…
Cruel Summer will not sell more than We Are Young Money, Carter 4 or Take Care. BOOK IT.
Yes it will.
You’re a fool if you think that Cruel Summer is going 2x platinum. Watch the Throne didn’t do that.
I really don’t care about record sales but IT WILL DOUBLE “We Are Young Money”… As we all know Birdman bought A LOT of Tha Carter IV and I think Drake is dope the ONLY actually talented one on YMCMB should really be on GOOD you can have 2 Chainz & Big Sean in the trade their more your type, you know gimmick rappers…
How does YMCMB dick taste? Besides, Jay and Kanye both sold more albums in total than all of YM in total.
dentaldamboy = troll… and what should trolls do? “kill themselves” I CAN’T HEAR Y’ALL “KILL THEMSELVES” yes they should… yes they should.
Wayne has sold more albums than Kanye. Nice try.
Still, Quality>Quantity. Kanye’s music is better than Wayne’s.
BOOM FUCK A NIGGA UP.THESE NIGGAS CREATED NEW STANDARDS FOR TEAM YMCMB MY NIGGA.IF YOU DONT SELL A PLATINUM UNDER YMCMB IT IS A FLOP,YA HEARD IT? BUT THEM OTHER BUM NIGGAS CAN SELLL A 40K AND IT IS A HUGE SUCCESS.THIS IS EVIDENCE THAT MY TEAM YMCMB GOT THIS GAME BY THE CLIT…..2.YMCMB GOT MORE PLAYS ON THIS WEBSITE THAN THESE OTHER GLORIFIED SO-CALLED REAL,GANGSTERS,GOATS…WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT?
How does YMCMB dick taste, dickrider? Besides, YMCMB music sucks ass.
Also,
QUALITY>>>>>>>QUANTITY
I think Jay-Z is a fucking snake and anyone who is a fan of his is a dishonest, disloyal and disingenuous person.
hahaha get a life you fucking troll!
I think YMCMB are fucking snakes and anyone who is a fan of them is a dishonest, disloyal and disingenuous person.
has dmx album come out yet?
it coming out tomorrow, go cop it homie, and you get a free BMX with it 🙂
Lemme ask you again…where’s REJUVENATION at? They ain’t givin’ the sales numbers for it for whatever reason…these YMCMBrats hacked Soundscan because it sold more than YMCMB’s benchwarmers ever will…
^^^ look at this clown.
Damn Nicki flop bad, she shoulda had a milli long time ago. how sad and pathetic
these numbers man … 50 states and nobody can sell more than 15,000 copies … damn.
YMCMB dickrider?
hmmmm how are Gudda Gudda, T-Streetz, Jae Millz, Kevin Gates, Lil Chuckee, Shanell, Lil Twist, Cory Gunz, Mack Maine, Short Dawg, Torion Sellers doing with there albums???
Better than Mr. Hudson, CyHi the Prynce, Mos Def, Pusha T, D’Banj, Q-Tip, and Teyana Taylor.
no… no their not
Sales Are Not Everything Mofos
MOS DEF Can Take The Whole YMCMB Alone
I agree that Mos Def is poorer and older than anyone on the YMCMB roster.
Idiot.
Loool my man said Q Tip like he didnt know ATCQ’s numbers alone make the YMCMBitch bench warmer’s look like shit.
Theres a lot of conscious Hip-Hop music out there. You just have to find it. If I have to seek consciousness, then what am I presently in the midst of?
YMCMB MMG BBR
yall need to do something better with your lives than argue over which rap crew is better. seriously.
Listen Up All You YMCMB MMG BBR Fans.
I understand your going through this stage were you like the type of music YMCMB are putting out but real talk if you are actually intelligent then a year maybe two years from now your going to want a little substance from your music, TRUST ME I’VE BEEN WHERE YOU ARE.
nah, you’re searching in the wrong department. try a book.
Typical crap-music fan response.
Just outta curiousity…wtf is BBR?
When you say it out loud it sounds like Bieber…idk though…was wondering the same thing…
I think it’s Bad Boy Records.
“how sad and pathetic”
No. That better describes your life. NM is probably sitting on millions, with an album still in the top 30 in the country. What have you done this week? File for food stamps and watch reruns of Good Times?
YMCMB dickrider/stan. Regardless of how much she sells, her music still sucks.
“has dmx album come out yet?”
It’s coming out next week along with Detox.
Not funny.
lmao, killer lmao
YMCM’s marketing is working overtime to keep Nicki’s album alive. Reminding people that she still has album by booking at major events and making sure that Pepsi plays that annoying commercial at least 30 times a day.
You should be happy for her. I bet you are the fist one talking about what a boss Jay-Z is when he gets corporate endorsements.
HEY YO B.O.B.
U FELL OFF MY NIGGA…I KNOW U GONNA GET OFF THAT POP SHIT NOW, PLEASE DONT START TRYNA MAKE GANGSTA MUSIC NOW.
Anyone who thinks YCMBC is too pop should be happy that BoB flopped. BoB is straight up pop…not hip hop at all.
Listen to B.o.B’s mixtapes. He’s definitely hip-hop. In fact, he’s alternative hip-hop, to be honest.
So it must be really hurtful to know that B.o.B can and does out rap anybody on YMCMB
drake is a faggot
and i get it now,
hitler was tryna save hiphop but he failed
Y’all niggas that don’t like YMCMB/MMG need to stop commenting on their posts. All you’re doing is make them more popular. Thanks to you niggas, the most popular artists in rap right now is:
*A former C.O. turned mafioso gangsta rapper
*A white-washed black pop singer who swagger-jacks Lil Kim and Katy Perry, has 4 different personalities, fake titties and ass, and several hair colors
*A Canadian Jewish R&B singer/pop rapper/former kid actor who is a certified pussy that runs away from a fight
*A 5’4, dreadlock-having, skateboarding gremlin whose music sucked ass since his sixth album, kisses men on the lips, and wears women’s jeans
Oh. I forgot to mention,
*A 40+ year old bald-headed child molester who thinks he’s 20 years old, kisses men on the lips, and talks about nothing but money.
*A mentally-disabled dreadlock-having nigga who has no rapping skills, yells on every track, and named after a Muppet
*A fat Arab who doesn’t write or produce his own songs and yells his name and “WE DA BEST!!” on every track
Really? How do you define popular, cause none of who you described are popular with me nor the crew I run with, not even my bitches…maybe save for rick ross ( i got alot of florida bitches) and waka (sometimes a nigga wants to get crunk at the gym) but besides that popularity is relative to me.and none of them are relation.

TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH. PROGRAMMED RADIO PROGRAMS IDIOTS.
Jay-Z stans are just like Jay himself…they hate to see others get money and limelight.
You’re stupid.
FAKE!!
No, it’s not fake. And also, when someone impersonates me, I don’t write FAKE liek Yessir does. I explain why the views of the person who used my name are inconsitent with my own views.
Another fake. I’m bipolar.
your hate is just pathetic. off yourself.
Nicki Minaj & B.O.B should both be platinum by now as many times a day I hear that shit on the radio. Personal taste aside, I’m not even hating,I’m just honestly confused, how the fuck they promote the hell out your shit that much and you cant sell a million copies of it??
No, not fake. And also, when someone impersonates me, I don’t write FAKE liek Yessir does. I explain why the views of the person who used my name are inconsitent with my own views.
Another fake. Fact: I an YESSIR.
Jesus those numbers are pathetic.
Even the “succesful” numbers aint shit, how Drake not at 2 Million yet??
YMCMB have the best dicks in the world. Me and So Icy Boi went to Birdman to talk about joining the team and he told us that the only way we can be YMCMB is if we let him, Slim, Wayne, Mack, and Drake butt rape us. We did and it felt awesome.
P.S.: the reason why I hate jay Z is because he fucked my girl and let me watched. That’s why I bash Jay on articles that doesn’t even have anything to do with him.
You have quite the imagination.
You sure do.
HHDX comment section is almost as bad as world star these days, reading the shit on here will kill more brain cells then huffing paint, lol
I’M BACK BITCHES. I JUST CAME BACK FROM SUCKING DRAKE AND TYGA’S DICK. I STILL GOT CUM STAINS ON MY FACE AND CLOTHING.

HALF A MILLI!!!
We don’t like your kind around here
“J” I just started laughing in hysterics when I saw your comment, thanks dude.
“Regardless of how much she sells, her music still sucks”
It must not suck that bad if people are still buying it.
MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice sold a lot of albums, are they good?
You got owned…
Waka Flaka is celebrating 50,000 units sold. Strangely enough, that’s not bad.
47000, not 50000
47,000 not 50,000.
47,000 not 50,000, dumbass.
Hip Hop will continue to fall, and just settle with whatever they get coz black people are lazy thinkers who constantly fail to come up with ideas of how to overcome this obstacle they facing
All they will do is complain complain complain about how the internet downloads is killing business blah blah think of an idea dumb asses
start your own iTunes, sell songs independently and make your money….cut the middle man out he’s crippling you – geez, just think black man
Shut up, ignorant ass racist.
Instead of attacking me, do some thinking homie…don’t let a ten year old Silicon Valley kid come up with an application to sell music directly to fans
Artist > fans
Do it 1st homie…damn, why white man always gotta think for you?
Like I said, shut up. You’re just sounding dumb trying to sound smart. BTW, I’m white. Bashing another race is just ignorant.
U stupid nigga, u aint no white. U a black monkey. I seen u say nigga on this site several time. I will hack ur ass and come rape and kill you and your family.
Why aren’t you in the streets preaching that to the brothers? Why aren’t you in Compton or Englewood, Bronx or Brooklyn, Chicago or Detroit, or Gary Indiana speaking to the Blacks? Because you’re a COWARD. Keep on cyberstalking.
typical cyper punk condescending to an invisible recipient about things that he himself is incapable of. stop projecting your own short comings onto people that neither care no value your pseudo-lectures.
this is why uncle toms need to be eradicated. attributing a raceless issue to one group of people and isolating the blame out of spite. you have said nothing that applies only to black people. there are lazy thinkers of every race. there are successful people of every race. yet your beef is exclusively with with black people. what have your done for your community let alone your race? what kind of settlements and programs are you establishing to improve your people conditions? you’d rather come to a blog and anonymous disgrace yourself and condescend to people under guise of constructiveness. typical bitter under achiever.
like I said before, it’s time for us to pray for the good allmighty Allah to remove all crackers from the face of the planet earth.
hip hop is black music, but white people own it and make the most money off of it, so it’s not going anywhere….lol
Reading comments on this site is why hip hop is dead.
White people are the majority at real hip hop concerts, whenever i go to some real shit theres always more white people. Black kids are listening to that corny southern bullshit, most of you clowns probably dont even know who rakim is.
Everyone on here acts gangster but then you listening to meek mills and shit like thats thinking its hard LOL? Its pathetic, you lot need to step your game up.
Okay I knew Nicki was still gold so why is she being congratulated on twitter by the RIAA for her album going platinum? That must be worldwide sales. Is Nielsen Soundscan only for the U.S.?
SHE GOLD WORLDWIDE AND THATS WHAT COUNTS ANYWAYS
hahaha I feel sorry for YESSIR
WHY I AM LIVING THAT FALSHY LIFESTYLE
She is because the riaa give the awards for albums shipped, not sold.. Now you know
GTFOHWTBS!!!! YOU AIN’T LIVING NO FLASHY LIFESTYLE. YOU LIVE AT HOME WITH YOUR MOM AND WORK AT AN UNDERPAID 9 TO 5 JOB. YOU BROKE AND LIVE IN A FANTASY WORLD INSIDE YOUR BASEMENT ON YOUR COMPUTER SCREEN. FAGGOT BITCH
HAVENT LIVED WITH MY MOM SINCE I WAS 17 IF YOU CLOWNS ONLY NEW HOW I AM LIVING SHOUT OUT TO BIRDMAN
^^^^
FAKE
kid ink is garbage
Dear young hoes,
There are millions of poor folks in the world that was balling at some point. Just because a product sells well doesn’t mean the artist or owner is set for life. Shit happens everyday and we don’t know about the details of your favorite artist contract where the devil lives. Stop using money as an excuse for everything. Big Meech BMF had more money than all of your favorite artist and look at his ass now. Respect the vets in this game that got paid and kept it. Many of our hip hop vets are still grinding in other areas and industries. Hip Hop is not the money bank. You niggas need to go study some math and science and create something. Fuck these young rappers because they ain’t saying ish or inspiring your generation to do shit either. Alternative rap existed way before cudi, or bob. You niggas was just close minded to listen to the groups that was versatile in the 90’s and early 2000’s. Go to school.
where is lil wytes album its the hardest album i have heard in a good min!!
“”I cant put into words how powerful this movie (The Art of Rap) is and what it means to the Rap/hip hop culture! Take a look at the trailer and give me your thoughts! #Powerful #Rap #Hip Hop
The film features artists such as Dr. Dre, Run-DMC, Kanye West, Chuck D (Public Enemy), Eminem, Nas, Ice Cube, Rakim (Eric B & Rakim), Snoop Dogg, B-Real (Cypress Hill), KRS-One (Boogie Down Productions)to name a few!””
I wanna see any of you come talk that nasty shit to me in my face.
