This Week In Flops 3/31/09
Flo Rida has defied the odds, he's releasing a 2nd album with a single at #1 on the Hot 100. Unfortunately his single sales are gonna dominate his album sales once again. Mail On Sunday did 85,000 in its first week, but I have a feeling R.O.O.T.S. won't even quite manage that. I'm gonna go with 50k-70k on Flo's 2nd effort. (Hopefully its better than his first musically because that 1st album was trash.)
Bow Wow and UGK after the jump!
No more time for talking, I'm just gonna go ahead and say what I think he's gonna sale: I'm guessing Bow's weirdly titled new album is gonna land somewhere in the 35k-65k range.
I'm positive this is the best album of the 3 though I have yet to listen to any of them (I'll have plenty of time to do that while AT&T is taking a whole fuckin' week to transfer my service), but unfortunately its probably gonna sell the least. I'm thinking 25k-50k. Hopefully I'm wrong.
D League - I Rep D League Mixtape Download
I wanted to do this last week and never found the time with the move going on, but I just wanted to take time out to show love to D League. They rep Fort Lauderdale which always gets you love from me, but they also have a new mixtape out called I Rep D League (CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD). I saw it posted on ThisIs50.com last week so I thought I should show love too since they're hometeam. Plus, I been knowing about these niggas since like '05. Check this out, that kid Uncut can spit!
Heat Retire Zo's No. 33
I got to see a lot of this nearly 30 minute ceremony last night and it was actually quite moving. I still gotta wonder why they did it when the Heat played the Magic since it was clear they'd most likely lose the game (April 12th against the Knicks at the triple-A is just sitting there open). All in all, I still enjoyed it and I'm glad to see it happen. Its good to have a Heat player retired for the organization and not just Michael Jordan and Dan Marino lol.
(On a side note, I gotta wonder how Will Hatcher feels about this because we know he doesn't like Zo as evident by this video titled "Fuck Alonzo Mourning!!" I gotta remember to ask Andy to ask him his feelings about this lol.)

Rick Ross - Usual Suspects (feat. Nas)
I actually got a chance to listen to this last night as I was trying to download as much shit as possible to hold me over until my internet in on at the new place. I couldn't turn down a chance to listen to a track featuring Nas. Enjoy.
The one thing 50 can never take away from the Delusional Rapper is that he can make a song. DR probably should've dropped this weeks ago to defuse a bit of the humiliation he was taking on. It would've been a crafty move too because 50 doesn't like Nas and if DR drops this track weeks ago, 50 most likely disses Nas, and that opens up the possibility of Nas Ethering 50 and therefore freeing up space for DR to move on with his career. Oh well, we already know DR is terrible at this beef shit so we shouldn't be surprised he never thought of it lol.
Jay-Z - Maybe
**UPDATE**
Here's the version without the annoying tags.
This shit has tags on it, but its Hov so I'm posting it!
This track is obviously not finished yet, but I like where they are going with it. Somebody needs to tell the niggas at the "New Music Cartel" to stick around the session for a little bit longer before you steal the track. I'm almost positive Hov laid down more than just those few bars when this was done lol.
Sham-POW!

Andre 3000 Arrested??
If you ask me, that's DEFINITELY not an arrestable offense. Bill Simmons once wrote about this in one of his columns, but it never hurts to repeat it that driving 109 MPH in a car like a Porsche is like driving 60 in a regular car. You have to assess these things on an individual basis according to what type of car is being driven. Damn shame regardless.

UGK - Da Game Been Good to Me Video
Love this video, love the song, haven't got a chance to listen to the album yet though. I'm gonna be up on all my music by the time my internet is back up next week lol.
Moving...
Hello everyone! I decided to check in because I haven't posted anything since late Friday night. Well I'm in the process of moving so that's why I've been a bit tied up. I still have a ways to go though because there is just so much junk here and I hate throwing shit away.
Anyway, I'll probably be done moving everything by tomorrow, but here's the bad news: For some reason its gonna take AT&T a whole week to switch the service to the new place so I won't have internet until this time next week. Yes, you guessed it, things will be extremely slow here until then. Hang in there with me, I'll having this shit back up and crackin' in no time. Peace!
Young Jeezy - Don't Do It Video
I love this track! Video fit perfectly...well the parts I saw at least.
Anyway, how many videos is this for that Recession album?? Is he gonna make a video for every track and put it out like Streets Is Watching??
Rick Ross - Valley Of Death
Not bad. I like the beat and wouldn't mind hearing this on the album. He still lost this battle horribly and is a proven liar so I don't know how much it helps him.
Tiger Does It Again
Before I started moving shit yesterday I was watching SportsCenter and they were talking about how Tiger was 5 strokes back (no homo) at Bay Hill and he's only come back from that big of a deficit once. Well make that twice. The Masters start soon, be afraid, be very afraid.
Random Homo Shit
This video is old as fuck, but reminders that Lil Wayne is a homo never get old lol. This HAS to be #1 on the top 10 list of "Gay Shit In Hip-Hop" lol.
Do you think Wayne is still looking for a Prom Queen King?? lol.

1) 'Sham-Wow' Guy Arrested For beating Up Prostitute
LMAO!!! This shit is too fuckin' funny! Keith Olbermann only makes it better with the jokes and the 'Slap Chop' clip of him saying, "You're gonna love my nuts." LMAO!! What's next?? Is Billy Maze gonna get arrested for transporting cocaine in Oxi-Clean buckets?? lol.
All jokes aside though, why in the fuck was this nigga kissing the prostitute in the first place?? I mean he looks like a nasty fuck any way, but come on, gross!
2) Man caught in vacuum sex act gets 90 days
You gotta click the link and watch the video, this shit is TOO FUNNY! How desperate do you have to be?? Also, it'd be a shocking turn of events if this turned out to be what the Sham-Wow guy resorted to after having beat up the prostitute and still needing to get his nut off lol.
3) Pole positions: Strip club holds job fair
HILARIOUS!! I wonder if they had those cardboard thingies we used to use for our science fair project to advertise the many perks to life as a stripper??
4) More women going from jobless to topless
Reading this story made me think about that movie Varsity Blues when James Van Der Beek (what ever happened to that nigga?? lol) and his friends were at the strip club and saw their teacher on stage dancing. I'm sure a lot more scenes like that are going down all across the states lol.
5) Baby-faced 13 year-old father, not the daddy after all
OMG! So you're telling me other boys were fuckin' the super pal skank?? I thought lil homie did it because he was a desperate 12 year-old at the time, but it turns out that that broad is just a ho lol. Tricking niggas at an early age. Dirty!! lol.
Ecko Clothing In Debt Troubles, Faces Dismantling
All I wanna say is this:
LMFAO!!!
Man, back in '07 he thought it was cool to buy Barry Bonds' historic baseball and put an asterisk on it and now he's struggling to get his business afloat. What goes around comes around...

Thank goodness. For some reason people think we need this, but all their shit was garbage as fuck so I'm glad there isn't gonna be a reunion album. I could be alone on this, but I doubt it lol.
T.I. Sentenced To A Year And A Day In Prison
Why is this news, didn't we already know he was only getting a year like months ago??
The big news to me in that after this sentencing, he still doesn't have to go to prison until May 19th at the earliest. Now, I'm not trying to rush dude off to prison, I like T.I., but why were we having all this farewell concerts and parties as early as February when he's still gonna be in the streets until the end of May or maybe early June at the latest??
Maybe its me being confused that's making me come off like an asshole right now. I thought he was going in today, not getting a sentence we already knew and not going in for 6-8 more weeks lol.

Police Officer Delays Texans RB Moats As Mother-In-Law Dies
First off my homie Jason sent this to me earlier before it blew up all crazy, but I was headed to work at the time and never got the chance to post it.
Anyway, what an asshole! Not only did this guy delay them, but he actually drew his gun on a guy and his family OUTSIDE OF A HOSPITAL over a fuckin' red light. A red light! And its not like he ran the 1st red light after leaving his house, in which case the pig would've had reason to be skeptical about the story, but he ran the last one before the hospital. You can clearly see the entrance of the hospital from the dash cam video! Plus, If somebody runs a red light right outside of a hospital 9.9 times out of 10 its some kind of emergency.
I hate to say it, I really do, but this was clearly racial. Everything about it except the reason he initially stopped them. They ran a red light, you pull them over, that's justified. But when its outside of a hospital and there's obviously a family emergency inside, and you hold them up for 20 minutes AND draw your gun, that's racial. When nurses from the hospital come out to corroborate his story and you still don't believe him, that's racial. When another officer comes and basically tells you what you're doing is obsessive, that's racial. When all this happens and all you get is a paid vacation instead of a pink slip, that's racial.
Now, I consider myself to be very post-racial, but there's no way you can convince me this would've happened if they were white. Not only would there have been no hold up, but even if by some chance there was, you can bet your ass this officer would be umemployed right now. I'm not saying we need to take to the streets with pitchforks and torches, but come on its 2009, can we get some justice??

T.O. Decides To Skip Voluntary Workouts...VOLUNTARY!!
Here we go again. ESPN is content on always trying to make T.O. out to be the bad guy. Can somebody please tell me why him skipping the Bills VOLUNTARY workouts a big deal and worthy of being the #1 story on ESPN.com?? He's a freakin' 13 year veteran, give the nigga a break! Not to mention HE NEVER GOES TO THE VOLUNTARY WORKOUTS! Geez!
1) We all know he's gonna be in better shape than anybody on the team regardless 2) He told the Dick Jauron he wasn't coming before the VOLUNTARY workouts started 3) He's far from the only player that won't be there 4) This isn't training camp, its VOLUNTARY WORKOUTS!
If the man said he was skipping out on training camp, then maybe we'd have a story, but a freakin' 13 year vet missing VOLUNTARY workouts in fuckin' March?? You can't be serious!
I've never been a "blame the media" guy, but its truly sad how the media, especially ESPN, tries to constantly paint T.O. as some kinda villian no matter what. Grow the fuck up guys, he's gonna be in shape and you know it so calm the hell down.

Thursday Billboard Update - 3/26/09
With 90,000 sold, Kelly Clarkson's All I Ever Wanted remains at #1 this week. Everything else in the top 10 is pretty much a wash besides the Twilight soundtrack surging 251% to #3 and Gorilla Zoe's Don't Feed Da Animals selling 31,000 to debut at #8.
Flo Rida's Right Round remains #1 over here on the Hot 100 and everything else is also a wash except Carrie Underwood's Told You So which jumped into the top 10 this week with a 48 spot rise. Its kinda weird this song is the one cracking the top 10 though because Home Sweet Home debuted at #21 just last week.
The Billboard 200 1-10
first week debuts in bold
1. Kelly Clarkson - All I Ever Wanted (1-1)
2. U2 - No Line On The Horizon (3-2)
3. Various Artists - Twilight sdtk (14-3)
4. The-Dream - Love Vs. Money (2-4)
5. Lady GaGa - The Fame (6-5)
6. Taylor Swift - Fearless (5-6)
7. Nickelback - Dark Horse (7-7)
8. Gorilla Zoe - Don't Feed The Animals (8)
9. Beyonce - I Am... Sasha Fierce (8-9)
10. Jamie Foxx - Intuition (9-10)
- CNN's Channel 10 (didn't even realize this came out) only managed 4,100! Daaaamn!

2. Lady GaGa - Poker Face (3-2)

8. Kanye West - Heartless (7-8)
9. Carrie Underwood - Told You So (57-9)
10. Lady GaGa - Just Dance (10-10)
- This week's top debut its Flo Rida's Sugar at #25. This track is just as terrible as his first single (if not worse) so this is like whatever to Hip-Hop fans.
- I believe I called this when the video came out, but in its 2nd week on the charts Ciara's Love Sex Magic with Justin Timberlake soars 57 spots 86-27.
- Lil Wayne's 2nd rock single Hot Revolver debuts at #33 this week. The actual album The Rebirth won't debut any time soon though because it got pushed back again & is now slated for June 9th.
- Birdman's track Always Strapped with Lil Wayne debuts at #65.
- Pleasure P's latest single Boyfriend #2 debuts at #91 this week.
Maino - All The Above (feat. T-Pain) Video
Pretty generic, but I still like Maino so its all good. Hope this works out for the nigga.

Asher Roth Speaks On White Rappership
Asher, people don't compare you to Eminem because you're white, they compare you to Eminem because you sound exactly like him. Duh. I like Asher, but its dumb of him to think people would compare him to Kweli or Common over Eminem no matter what color his skin is. If he was black and sounded the same as he does now, he'd still get compared to Em. Its your voice bro, its your voice.

This Week In Flops 3/24/09
Jooones! Capo is back with his fourth album Pray IV Reign. I listened to some of it the other day and you can tell he's still one of the biggest Jay-Z fans out there right now lol. That's fine, he's not rollin' with Cam anymore anyway so I guess he can openly express his love for Hov now. Anyway, his terribly corny single Na Na Nana Na Na hasn't done numbers like I'm sure he was expecting when making that trash. That's a problem, but I think he has a strong enough presence out there right now to come in at at least #2 on the charts. For Jimmy I'm going with 85k-105k.
Next up I got my boo, the fine ass Ms. Keri Hilson (and future Mrs. Fiyah)! Her single with Wayne cooled off some time in February, but a few key Kanye cameos has kept her in the loop. I think she'll easily cruise by the 50,000 mark and land somewhere in the 60k-80k range which should be good for getting her in the top 5. Not bad at all these days.
Man, I fuckin' love this cover! Its so sick! Anyway, I haven't got a chance to check out the next album yet, but hopefully its better than that one with the Neptunes. Slim is doing his thing on a minor level now so don't expect him to do any crazy numbers, but that's fine because I'm sure he's getting a better percentage off album sells on the label formerly known as Koch than he was on Geffen. I think this album is good for about 40k-60k.
Remember Case?? Yeah he was kinda semi-hot back in the 90s and now he's back with his new album The Rose Experience. He was on the Foxxhole about 2 weeks ago and besides learning that he accidently shot himself in the throat while he was gone, he also calls himself the black Axel Rose and that's why his album is titled what it is. He sung for them and he still has it, but unfortunately most people don't even know he's back. I got him doing somewhere around 10k-20k.
Mos Def - Words
This is a lil promo for Mos' new album The Ecstatic which is supposed to be dropping June 30th. I was just jammin' Umi Say and Ms. Fat Booty last week so hopefully he got some classics joints like that on there. I can't wait to find out!
Keri Hilson - Knock You Down (feat. Kanye West & Ne-Yo) Video
Damn Keri is so fine! She is soooo the type of chick I wanna marry! Dammit! lol. Fellas, if you hit play on this video, make sure you hit pause at 1:26 in because it is a truly glorious still shot. Love. (Ayo DJ if you're reading this you need to hook us up! lol.)
Oh yeah, Kanye was there too..and Ne-Yo. It was almost weird hearing him spit a verse and I still don't even know how I feel about it though the lyrics were pretty good. Maybe he's coming back, who knows.
Ray J - For The Love of Ray J Video
The great comedian Ray J strikes again! LMAO! Ray J could get so much more respect if he just realized he can't sing worth a damn. I mean does he even listen to his vocals after he lays them down?? WTF?? He did smashed Kim Kardashian and have a hang of fine hoes on his show though so he'll always be cool with me regardless, but come on bro!
This track is actually from the soundtrack to the For The Love Of Ray J show and is iTunes as of today for $9.99 if you into this kinda music lol. Another track from the soundtrack is after the jump.
Waaay too many images of dudes doing shit for a track called Sexy Ladies. I didn't appreciate that at all.
Jim Jones - Precious (feat. Ryan Leslie) Video
Is this what's hot in the streets right now?? Niggas not making whole videos. What's up Jimmy?!
