Thursday Billboard Update - 3/18/10

Ludacris earns himself another #1 as Battle Of The Sexes sales 137,300 in its first week in stores. The animated band Gorillaz comes in at #2 with 112,300 sold of their Plastic Beach album.

Taking of the #1 spot on the Hot 100 is Rihanna's Rude Boy. This should surprise no one. Making his first appearance in the top 10 is B.o.B as his hit Nothin' On You featuring Bruno Mars gets a 11 spot boost 16-5. He might give Rihanna a run for that top spot in a few weeks.

The Winners & Losers Of Rip The Runway

This just in, Nicki Minaj has just been banned from the UK for life for her failed attempt at a British accent. More on this story as it develops.

Winners: Nicki Minaj's plastic surgeon (he actually got paid to do that to her nose); Nicki Minaj's butt pads; Trina's REAL ass...damn!; B.o.B; fat girls; Bruno Mars' likeness to Tay Zonday; rubber basketballs; Dwight Eubanks (his flamboyant gayness will get him his own show somewhere...or at the least a few more spots on BET over the next few years); malnourishment (I pray Luda didn't request these sickly looking models walk during his set); Shaqnosis sneakers (it must've taken at least 50 pairs to make Nicki's My Chick Bad performance outfit); Janelle Monae's performance and ass (surprisingly nicely shaped...or were those them butt pads at work again??); Vanessa aka "Subway to Runway" girl; Dwight's decision to make Vanessa wear those booty shorts!

Losers: Whoever dressed Estelle in that bullshit; ponytails; horses and now bald-headed girls in India who made it possible for all these wack ass Rapunzel-length ponytails to exist; whoever dressed Estelle again because somebody else came out in that same ugly ass dress; Nicki Minaj's nose; fake British accents; shoulder pads; masculinity; black people (Tiny & Toya coming back for a 2nd season); pink wigs; mohawks (black people, let it go, its over); And1; pink wigs again; Nicki Minaj's stylist or lack there of; dudes who think that's really Nicki Minaj's ass and hips; girls who think Nicki Minaj's outfits look good; basicness; stamina and going low (Luda's dancer got a little winded there at the end); women's shoes (I'd hate to see my girl wearing 80% of those ugly ass shoes).

Like before, if you have any to add, leave them in the comments.

Random News Shit: NFL Old Head Edition

1) LaDainian Tomlinson In Talks With Vikings, Jets LaDainian Tomlinson Sign 2-Year Deal With Jets
Wait, wait, wait, so the Vikings let Chester Taylor walk, and the Jets let Thomas Jones go for the possibility to get L.T.'s corpse?? Yeah, Taylor and Jones are both on the wrong side of 30 as well, but at least they have something left in the tank. Did these 2 teams see LaDainian play last year?? He just hits the hole and falls down, he's doner than done at this point.

Oh well, if L.T. and his agent can convince one of these clubs to give him a bunch of money even though he's a shell of himself, then more power to him.

I wrote all that before L.T. signed and I didn't feel like wasting it so I just crossed it out lol. Anyway, L.T. has chosen the New York over the Minnesota to house his remains for the 2010 season. Good luck with that New York.

2) Browns Sign Jake Delhomme
So the Browns got rid of Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn to bring in Jake Delhomme?? Really, Jake Delhomme?? I can't wait to hear how they try to sell that one to the fans in Cleveland.

And I'm not saying Anderson or Quinn were the answer in Cleveland, but outside of JaMarcus Russell, Delhomme was easily the next worst QB in the NFL last season. I mean, the guy threw 18 picks in 11 games, he was a turnover machine. Then to make matters worse, as soon as he got hurt, the Panthers instantly got better with Matt Moore at the helm. I hope Browns are planning on taking a QB with one of those many draft picks this April because a terrible Browns team plus Jake Delhomme as the starter may equal the 2nd 0-16 team in 3 years.

3) Bengals Choose Antonio Bryant Over T.O.
Despite Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson pleas on Twitter, Terrell Owens will NOT be lining up across the field from him next year in Cincinnati. Instead that position will be filled by ex-Cowboy, Buc, Brown, and 49er, Antonio Bryant.

Now yall know I'm a major supporter of T.O., but they probably made the right choice. I mean, of course Bryant is younger, but you just wouldn't wanna do that to Carson Palmer. The man already has to deal with the artist formerly known as Ocho, you can't just throw T.O. in there. Smart move. Well, if Bryant is healthy. If he isn't then they might as well take a chance on Owens.

4) Chiefs Add Thomas Jones
Nice addition by the Chiefs! Jamaal Charles is obviously the man in KC now, but Jones is definitely going to be able to help them. The Jets WILL regret choosing L.T. over Jones.

5) Redskins Sign Larry Johnson
Clinton Portis and Larry Johnson working out of the same backfield?? Man, if this was 2005 it would be on!

6) Dolphins Bring Back Chad Pennington
Smart move I say. Chad Henne is the man in Miami, but it'll be good for the youngster to have a proven veteran behind him (no homo). He also knows that if he doesn't play well he could get pulled quicker with Pennington back there oppose to Pat White or Tyler Thigpen.

Random News Shit: SportsCenter Edition

1) Kansas Earns Top Seed In NCAA Tournament
Man, I can't wait to fill out my bracket this week! I hate college sports, but I love March Madness! Go figure.

Anyway, also receiving #1 seeds were Syracuse, Duke, and Kentucky. We'll see if any of these 4 have what it takes to win it all. I got my money on either Kentucky or Kansas.

2) Browns Release Derek Anderson
It seems like just yesterday Derek was leading a Romeo Crennel coached Browns team to a 10-win season. Now that's over. Romeo is gone, Braylon Edwards is gone, Jamal Lewis is gone, and now Derek Anderson is gone.

Arizona or Seattle are the likely landing spots for Anderson seeing their QB situations are almost as bad as anyone else's.

3) Browns Trade Brady Quinn To Broncos
The trade was for FB/RB Peyton Hillis, a 6th round pick in the 2011 draft, and a conditional pick for the 2012 draft. If Quinn beats out Kyle Orton for the starting QB spot and flourishes this will look like a steal, but for right now I guess its a pretty fair trade. I have no idea what the fuck the Browns are doing at QB, but they better get their shit together fast.

4) David Beckham Tears Achilles, To Miss World Cup
Its funny because when this story first broke ESPN said Beckham's playing status for the World Cup was unknown. It was like, "huh?" The man tore his achilles tendon! He didn't strain or stress it, he tore it, there's no way he could possibly play in the World Cup which is just a few months away.

5) Gilbert Arenas Wants To Change To No. 6
LeBron James has started a trend already! Funny, I thought it would be middle and high school players jocking LBJ's new shit, now his peers in the NBA. Kinda sad actually.

(Side note: How awesome would it have been if Arenas changed his number to 9 or 45, you know, like a pistol. That would be too great! He isn't that dumb though...or is he?? lol.)

Making a huge splash on the Hot 100 is Taio Cruz whose Break Your Heart record featuring Ludacris zooms from #53 to #1. I haven't even heard of the song, let alone heard it, but it better be damn good lol. The odd man out is Trey Songz's Say Aah which exits the top 10 after 2 weeks.

This Week In Flops 3/9/10

Before I begin, I just want to say how disappointed I am that Shawnna left Ludacris hanging on the making of this Battle Of The Sexes album. Now instead of getting a bunch of incredible Luda and Shawnna collabos, we get a gang of lame features by the likes of Nicki Minaj, Gucci Mane, and Flo Rida. Awesome. Shawnna is still featured on 2 tracks on the album (3 if you count the bonus track Rollercoaster with her and Dru Hill), but I would have preferred much more because I refuse to acknowledge this as a Ludacris solo album.

Now as far as the album sales goes, this should be interesting. Ever since Luda debuted the track at the BET Hip-Hop Awards last fall, How Low has been buzzing in the streets, and now on mainstream radio as it rests in the top 10 on the Hot 100. We'll soon see how much that even matters because Sade has dominated the Billboard 200 the last few weeks and Soldier Of Love never even sniffed the top 40 (though they do play the music video a lot on VH1 Soul...I know, meaningless information lol).

The album has received a decent amount of buzz with all the remixes and tracks floating around the internets, but I don't know how smart it was to drop an album on "National R.I.P. B.I.G. Day." I mean, Def Jam had to know all of everyone's attention would be on Biggie today. Maybe they thought they didn't need all of their sales days to have an impact?? Who knows the logic of record labels these days.

My guess for this, uhhh, compilation album (?), is 160-200k.

T.I. - I'm Back

The King is back! Check the audio first if you haven't already (for whatever odd reason) before we get move forward.

T.I. - I'm Back

What a way to return to the game, right?? I mean yeah, the beat sounds almost exactly like Young Jeezy's Crazy World, but as far as the lyrics go, Tip is snappin'! Then again, why wouldn't he be?? He's been in prison with nothing to do but chill, write, and beat off, it'd be more shocking if he came back wack.

Anyway, I wonder who he's talking about?? I don't really know many of the new young rappers of Atlanta (mainly because I respect my ears too much), but its definitely one of them. Well like Lil Duval said on Twitter, "a hit dog will holla," so as soon as someone takes offense, we'll know its probably them. Either that or Duval don't know either and is trying o divert that fact with clever sayings lol. Until we find out for sure, I'll be bumpin' this because it goes quite hard. Only time will tell if the rest will be as good. Fingers crossed.

(Side note: I've seen some people here and there talking about he took it back to the "old T.I." What?? I'm gonna have to question their fandom because this was definitely NOT the "old T.I." If you became a fan after 2004 then, yeah, I guess this would sound like the "old T.I.," but if you were fuckin' with him back at the start of the millennium then this is far from that. That rawness, that flow, that T.I. is never coming back, but this T.I. ain't bad either. Any T.I. is better than Urban Legend/T.I. Vs. T.I.P. T.I. though.)

Random News Shit: SportsCenter On DVR Edition

More old news, but I wanted to hit it so we can get back to neutral.

1) Allen Iverson To Miss Rest Of Season
This may be it, but for real this time. I don't know how sick is 4 year-old daughter is, but if her illness doesn't clear up, he'll probably never return because family comes first. He shouldn't need the money (emphasis on shouldn't), so this is probably the sad end to a magnificent career. Good luck to A.I. and his little girl, I'm positive this is harder to deal with than any challenges he's ever face in the NBA.

2) LeBron Files Paperwork To Wear No. 6 Next Season
This is so wack to me. I know he's trying to sell the whole "paying homage to Jordan" thing, but I'm not buying it. Legends like Bill Russell and Julius Erving donned the #6 jersey, what they don't deserve homage too?? LeBron is a student of the game, I'm sure he knows all-time greats have worn #6 as well as #23.

I don't get it though. I know I'm not as extreme as Skip Bayless, who thinks Bron is ditching the number to get from under Jordan's shadow of expectations, but there is something else going on. And its NOT just to sell more jerseys, with all the money he's making, jersey sales are probably the least of his concern. Oh well only time will tell, I guess.

3) Hasheem Thabeet Sent Down To D-League
Back in June, a wise man said Hasheem Thabeet was "destined to be Stromile Swift 2.0." I wonder who that wise man was?? Oh yeah, it was me! By being sent down to the D-League, Thabeet becomes the highest draft pick ever to have that done to him. Man, its a good thing they didn't take Tyreke Evans, Steph Curry, or Brandon Jennings with that 2nd overall pick.

Here's an idea, the next time the Grizzlies are in the lottery, maybe they should try avoiding the 2nd overall pick because they are 2 for 2 in #2 pick busts since 2000. First there was Stromile Swift, and now there's Thabeet. (And they didn't exactly have much luck with the #2 overall pick pre-2000 either. They got 3 decent seasons out of 1998 #2 pick Mike Bibby before trading him to Sacramento, but 1999 #2 pick Steve Francis didn't even want to play for the franchise and cried until he forced a trade to Houston.)

4) Ocho Cinco, Andrews On New DWTS Cast
That's right, now Chad Ocho Cinco...I mean, Chad Johnson (remember he said he's change his name back if Darrelle Revis shut him down) will have the opportunity to dance and act a fool without Dictator Goodell throwing thousands of dollars worth of fines at him.

Also joining Ocho Cinco Johnson this season will be ESPN sideline reporter, and white woman of my dreams, Erin Andrews, fine ass singer Nicole Scherzinger, former Bay Watcher and sextaper Pamela Anderson, astronaut Buzz Aldrin, actors Shannen Doherty, Aiden Turner, and big booty Niecy Nash, and reality stars Kate Gosselin, and Jake Pavelka.

The new season starts March 22nd.

Random News Shit: Free Agency Friday Edition

1) Julius Peppers Signs 6-Year, $91.5 Deal With Bears
And out of that $91.5 million, $42 million is guaranteed. Hopefully this works out for the Bears, but I could easily see it not. Not saying Peppers isn't a great player, but he's been known to take seasons off. Welp, better the Bears than the Cowboys, I say.

Now in addition to overpaying bringing in Peppers, the Bears also signed RB Chester Taylor and TE Brandon Manumaleuna today. Not bad moves, but I've gotta wonder why Chester felt Chicago was the best landing spot for him?? If he didn't want to split time and wanted to become a starter, why not go to a team without a clear cut starter like San Diego or Washington?? Matt Forte is only entering his 3rd season, he's not going anywhere and is still the man in Chicago.

2) Cards Trade Anquan Boldin To Ravens
Wow, wow, wow! Watch out for the Ravens next year! Joe Flacco has got to be through the roof right now. Hell, the entire city of Baltimore must be. I mean, not only did they just acquire one of the top WRs in the league, but they did so by only giving up 3rd and 4th round picks (a far cry from my Cowboys' infamous 1st, 3rd, and 5th for Roy Williams). I'm jealous.

(Side note: I totally wouldn't have minded giving up our 3rd & 4th round picks this year to pair Miles Austin with Anquan Boldin and cutting our losses with Roy Williams. Hell, we probably could've thrown Roy in the deal and note have had to give up 1 of those picks. Dammit, dammit, dammit!)

3) Jake Delhomme Released By Panthers
Congrats to my homie Justin, your nightmare is finally over lol. This is a year overdue at the least, Delhomme is probably more done than even LaDainian Tomlinson.

Here's the question though, why cut him?? You're still going to have to pay him the $12.5 from the retarded extension you gave him last year, so why not keep him on the bench to mentor Matt Moore?? Then again, maybe that wouldn't be such a good idea because I have no idea what Jake was seeing out there the past couple years lol.

It'll be interesting to see if he catches on anywhere else. You never know.

4) Jets Get Antonio Cromartie From Chargers
Looks like the Jets repeated what happened in the playoffs and steal one from the Chargers. New York pairs All-Pro Cromartie with the ultimate shutdown corner in Darrelle Revis for just a 3rd round pick (that could turn into a 2nd round pic) in the 2011 draft. That's right, they didn't even have to give up anything in this year's draft! The AFC East just got that much more tough.

5) Brandon Marshall To Visit With Seahawks
Why?? Brandon does know the Seahawks basically don't even have a QB, right?? There's plenty better destinations for him (*cough* Dallas *cough*) so I don't put much stock in this visit.

6) Dolphins Sign Karlos Dansby, Release Joey Porter, Akin Ayodele & Gibril Wilson
Dansby leaves Arizona for Miami and a 5-year $43 million contact with $22 million in guarantees. I don't think its too early to say they overpaid a tad.

Anyway, Porter gets his wish of being released, and I'm sure he'll be picked up soon enough, but he takes LB Akin Ayodele and S Gibril Wilson with him. I'm not sure why the 'Phins cut ties with Wilson, he was only on the team for one year.

7) Giants Agree To Terms With Antrel Rolle
Dammit! I wanted Rolle in Dallas and not he's going to our rivals in New York! I'm really pissed about this and I don't even think we were in contention to bring him in lol.

Anyway, the deal is 5-years and worth $37 million.

8) Vince Wilfolk Gets New Deal From New England
I can't believe it, the Patriots actually paid somebody! The extension is over a 5-year period and is worth $40 million, making Wilfork the highest paid nose tackle in the league. Congrats are in order for the money, but even more congrats are in order for convincing the Pats to give somebody what they're worth.

9) Josh Cribbs Gets His Deal Re-Structured
The Browns redid the last 3 years of their best player's contact and its now worth a max of $18.5 million with $7 million in guaranteed money. Not bad, especially for a kick returner. I just hope they don't try to make him a big part of their offense to justify it because that has totally ruined Devin Hester's career.

10) Colts Re-Sign Gary Brackett
The new deal is also for 5-years and is good for $33 million. Smart move by the Colts, what else can I say??

11) Lions Sign Kyle Vanden Bosch, Nate Burleson
Vanden Bosch gets 4 years for $26 million, and Burleson gets 5 years for $25 million. Nice moves by the Lions.

12) Falcons Agree To Terms With CB Dunta Robinson
The details of this deal haven't emerged yet, but just know Dunta Robinson is now an Atlanta Falcon.

Random News Shit: NFL Headlines Edition

Yeah, I know this is all old news, but I had to get it out the way before I moved forward with the free agency Friday column.

1) Chargers Release LaDainian Tomlinson
I guess A.J. Smith finally saw the "L.T. Electric Glide" video.

Seriously though, this had to happen. I know L.T. is one of the all-time greats, but he's doner than done right now. He was done 2 years ago actually (which is why they should've never let Michael Turner walk), but the Chargers just kept him around out of loyalty and appreciation for what he's done.

Hey, maybe somebody will be foolish enough to pick him up, but don't expect anything anytime soon.

2) Eagles Release Brian Westbrook
Like the L.T. move, this was also a no-brainer. Even if Westbrook didn't have those 2 concussions last season, it was still time for him to go because he's always hurt. And as a Cowboy fan I'm glad to see him go!

Hey Brian, RETIRE!

3) Jets Release Thomas Jones, Avoid Signing Bonus
Unlike Tomlinson and Westbrook before him, Thomas Jones actually had a great year last year. The guy rushed for 1,400 yards and 14 TDs last year and the Jets didn't wanna pay the man his $3 million roster bonus or his $2.8 million base salary. That was a bitch move seeing the guy played for $900,000 last year, coming off a 2008 season where he rushed for 1,300 yards and 13 TDs. Basically he got gang raped by the Jets organization.

I would be lying if I told you I felt totally bad for the guy. I mean, he's never done anything to me personally, but a few years ago he was dating my baby Meagan Good and I've had one-sided beef with him ever since. Hmmm, maybe some in the Jets organization feel the same way I do and that's the reason behind the raw deal?? Who's to know?? lol.

4) Jerry Jones Expects 10-11 Changes On Cowboys' Roster
Gotdamn Jerry! I know Jerry is getting old, but 10-11 new players after the season we had last year?? Well I hope 1 of those 10-11 that are ousted is Roy Williams' garbage ass. We probably could've won even more than 11 games last year had we not buried Miles Austin on the bench the first 4 games in hopes that Roy would finally pan out.

Another guy who is probably vulnerable is Ken Hamlin. The rest of the changes will come along the offensive line as Flozell Adams may have played his last snap as a Dallas Cowboy. After the way that playoff game in Minnesota went after he left, I'm not sold on that just yet. Welp, we shall see what happens once the draft arrives. I'm so glad so many positions on our rosters are secured.

5) Cardinals Cut Antrel Rolle
Hmm, speaking of Cowboys roster moves, I can't say I'd mind Rolle back there at safety in place of Ken Hamlin. Ken is good, but Antrel is just better. The Cardinals are tripping' right now.

6) NFL Considers Changing OT Format For Playoffs
First off, I wanna pat the Sports Guy Bill Simmons on the back because this is pretty much exactly what he suggested back in his February 8th playoff column. Really it was, just click this link and scroll down to 9:25, its the same shit.

Anyway, I like the idea, but why limit it to the playoffs?? If you're going to adopt this, why not make it for the regular season as well?? Beats me.

Drake - Over (Prod. By Boi-1da)

Welp, here it is, the long-awaited first single from Drake's debut album Thank Me Later, which is allegedly coming soon.

Drake - Over (Prod. By Boi-1da)

Aight, aight, I see you Drake! Not at all what I expected to hear, but I like it. First off, the Boi-1da track is incredible, look for it to become the new "it" beat that everybody raps over over the next few months. (Sorry Fab, There Is No Competition 2 is already out, so you can't delay it for "one more record" anymore. It is funny, and kinda ironic, that the day Fab finally drops that mixtape, a classic beat like this pops up lol.) The lyrics are decent, nothing special, but will do.

Here's the problem with the song though: Its NOT single-worthy. Yes, it is indeed a good song, as we established earlier, but its definitely not a single. In fact, if just about any other rapper dropped this as a single it'd be overlooked and quickly forgotten by mainstream radio. BUT since everybody is so eager to suck Drake's dick, that won't be the case here. That's right, expect to hear this song, and expect to hear it often. I'm not sure for how long, but it will undoubtedly be all over every radio stations for at least the next 2 weeks. Oh, and expect for everyone you encounter to tell you how mind blowing and genius it is along the way.

I ain't mad at Drake though, its not his fault, we do this to everybody who gets super hot. Hell, now-a-days you don't even have to be super hot to get people to overreact like they will over this record.
