Pop group Maroon 5’s collaboration with Wiz Khlifa continues to be an unshakable chart-force. Sliding two spots down the charts to #6, the single still topped all other rappers. Pitbull and Flo Rida stayed close behind, as they’ve been for a month. Cash Money Records’ Birdman’s posse cut and a Maybach Music Group Self Made, Vol. 2 album cut from Wale made the charts as the summer got a lot hotter.
Birdman Puts It Down For The “B-Boyz”
As Birdman (f/k/a Baby) gears up for his fifth solo album, Bigga Than Life, the New Orleans, Lousiana executive-turned-rapper brought out a track that ambiguously praised his love for his neighborhood and Hip Hop. Frequent collaborators Mack Maine, DJ Khaled and Ace Hood appeared, as the quartet was joined by TDE’s Kendrick Lamar on this CMR record. This is the Big Tymers alum’s latest single, following “Born Stunna.” It sold nearly 9,000 first-week downloads.
Wale Be “Puttin’ On”
The top-selling Hip Hop album of the week, Maybach Music Group Presents…Self Made, Vol. 2 featured Wale’s “I Be Puttin’ On.” As a single, the track cracked the Top 100, selling 18,000 units. The DMV emcee has six tracks on the Warner Bros. Records-distributed compilation.

Nicki is stacking that paper. She got love from the hood and from corporate America. BoB stay making music for suburban kids. He’s a disgrace to hip hop. BoB, Pusha T and A$AP Rocky are the biggest jokes in hip hop.
Good joke, YM stan.
Go to bed now…
Pusha T has never had a solo platinum single. Every platinum single that he has been on has had Malice, Birdman, or Kanye on it. Pusha T will never be successful in the rap game. He’s not no album or mixtape planned. It’s the truth. Don’t hate the truth. Hate your fav artist, Pusha T, for being lame.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
You’re funny for a YMCMB stan/dickrider.

Kendrick Lamar is part of the YMCMB MMG family. We showed him how to make that paper.
Pusha T is a clown. If he’s so talented, why can’t he drop a solo album?
Idiot YM fan. Kendrick is not part of YMCMB/MMG; he’s not signed to those labels and none of them taught him a damn thing. And Pusha is 10X better than everyone at YM.
P.S.: what do you mean “we?” You ain’t part of YMCMB.
Honestly, Pusha is an average rapper. Because he is underground doesnt make him better. I think Jae Millz, Mack Maine, Cory Gunz and old wayne can handle him easily and I am not a fan
the only reason that B-Boyz track is popular is cause of Kendrick.
U are a moron. Nobody knows Kdot.
I can’t believe that people buy digital singles
I can’t believe they still sell CD’s.
Atleast when you buy CD’s you get something that you can’t get with downloading. When buying digitally you get the same things that you get when you download and downloading is even easier.
2012…..”THE RECIPE” with DR.DRE(NUTHIN BUT A G THANG)….TML..THANK ME LATER!…LOL
