It’s always good to see a song climb up our Top Singles list and reach the top. That’s what happened this week. While we have a few mainstays over the past few weeks, some new entries are equally welcome (and surprising). As the Fall grows near and more albums are coming, we’re getting lots of new music. Despite all of the pushbacks in release dates, at least we have songs to check out. Here they come.
Game Has A Lot To Celebrate, Slaughterhouse Still Wins
Game’s “Celebration” finally hit the #1 spot this week after entering the list at #4. Just as the song is making its rounds – thanks to help from Lil Wayne, Tyga, Wiz Khalifa, and Chris Brown – we’re getting a video pretty soon (the BTS was revealed). Meanwhile, last week’s winner Slaughterhouse moves down a few…sort of. While last week’s “Our House” was #1, it moved down to #6 this week. The Eminem-assisted “Throw That” was #2 last week. This week Slaughterhouse’s “Asylum” with Eminem again is in at #2. Last week we had DJ Khaled closing the list at #10 with “Hip Hop,” he moves up with Nas, Scarface, and DJ Premier to #7. At #10 this week? A$AP Rocky’s “Freeze” with Jim Jones. One above it is Kendrick Lamar’s “Westside, Right On Time” with Young Jeezy at #9.
The Strange Music Takeover Has Begun
September 18th marks the release of Tech N9ne’s E.B.A.H. EP. With that going on, Tecca Nina dropped “Earregular” and it reached the #8 spot this week. The Strange Music squad runs deep, so there will probably be more tracks where that came from. In fact, there was a track from Ces Cru called “It’s Over” featuring Krizz Kaliko and Tech N9ne. That reached the #3 spot this week. Right beneath it at #4 was the DJ Green Lantern Mix called “#2 On Em” with Jay-Z and Nas. One under that at #5 was Mr. X to the Z’s Dr. Dre produced track “Louis XIII” featuring The Alkaholiks and King T.

Good to see Game up there again, but Celebration sucks ass and he should quit working with pussy artists
I thought his album was gonna be a single-man thing straight banging
Seems like his pocket is gettin empty he gotta do sth against it
right….. soo r you the real yessir cos i see that yessir respecting the wack rappers on other posts.
Gameime jesuspiece
That game track is terrible mainly because of the soft corny bubblegum rappers on there
i swear game said his next album would have no features or name dropping and he goes and does this
“i swear game said his next album would have no features or name dropping and he goes and does this”
well, it’s Game so what do you expect? i would be surprised if he actually followed through with what he said
thank god there actually is people out there other than me who think that. as i said that track is a disgrace to hip hop and a BIG insult to bone thugs did you here that shit they used autotune and tried to mimic the bone flow haha the rappers couldnt evan master hammers flow they still manage to do it worse im thinking off selling my game cds now got no respect for sellouts.
Come on game… Ja Rule could make that song even hotter.
Why’s there no Ja Rule on here?
fucking haters
Ja Rule is the hottest nigga in the game, he’s like a hip hop MESSIAH. Surprised there’s no Ja Rule here.
I’ve been thinkin’ why didn’t Ja Rule make this list?
Ja Rule ft The game – Celebration. Now that would be a song.
Ja Rule gonn’ kill THe game if he doesn’t accept to do a song with him
yo that Ja Rule shit is already played out so do us all a favor and give it a rest
Ja rule shit never gets played out, because it’s just such an art to just say the letter “J” and the letter “r”… IT’s just… Can’t explain it! JA FUCKING RULE.
Ja Rule needs to be on here.
Yooooo! Fuc Dx! tHESE muthafuckas keep hating on the Wu! Where’s Meth’s joint ha? Shit had more plays than the song @ #08. Dx STAY HATIN’ ON THE WU! At least tell us Wu-Tang Clan fans why is that! Tell us!
Good to see the Xzibit- Louis XIII featuring Tha Alkaholiks and King-T on the list, Likwt Crew one of the tightes crews to ever come out, and good to see Tha Alkaholiks on the song for sure Tha Liks is one of the best rap groups ever they got nothing but tight music on all they ablums and to hear one of the OG’s of the west coast King-T on a single is crazy always liked King-T, by the sound of this song the new Xzibit album going to be a good one, wonder if Dr Dre is going to be in the video for Louis XIII since he produced it
