Thursday Billboard Update - 4/28/11

Guess who's back at #1? That's right, Adele's 21! With a sales increase of 65%, 21 again returns to #1 by pushing out another 153,000 copies.

We might need to run the Katy Perry/Rihanna .gif in reverse because Katy Perry's E.T. returns to #1, knocking Rihanna's S&M down to #4. With the domination of her album, its only right that Adele's single Rolling In The Deep would end up at #2. Will she cover take Katy Perry next week? Maybe. Recording his 5th top 10 (Damn, already??) is Bruno Mars with The Lazy Song (11-6). And oddly enough, after debuting last week, Lady Gaga's Judas actually falls out of the top 10. Oh well, I'm sure it'll be back soon enough.

Random New Shit

Crooked I - Guess Who's Back (feat. Snoop Dogg)

Favorite line: "New Ferrari without ceilin'. Ya spouse willin', my dick in her mouth chillin'." That shit is too funny to me lol.

Triple C's - Break It Down (feat. Bun B)

Damn that nigga that rapped first was terrible. It was kinda sad actually. Thank goodness Bun came on and saved the song, but it was still pretty bad because the beat wasn't hot and the hook was trash. Ross still throwing jabs at 50 I see, I guess he still hasn't realized he lost that one.

Curren$y - I'm Just Dope

Curren$y's flow is so lazy and boring, but this track ain't half bad. I like the beat and he was spittin' so it was all good.

Rakim - Walk These Streets (feat. Maino)

Pretty good, I got no complaints. Sounds like Rakim kept one of those Dre beats from his stint on Aftermath though.

Cam'ron - Stop It 5 (feat. Vado)

I wasn't paying enough attention to know what the hell "5" really is, but this seemed like a pretty decent track. I know I definitely fuck with this beat if nothing else.

Wale - Fly Away

What they know about that Lenny Kravitz?? Pretty aight use of the sample, but Wale is just okay to me.

Anyway, Wale's album is still due November 10th as of right now.

Papoose - Paid A Grip

Better than some of the other stuff Pap has put out lately, but still not on the level of the shit he was dropping before the Jive deal. Still no Nacirema Dream in sight.

Ransom - Pursuit Of Happiness

Not sure what this is off of, but I like it. I recently found a bunch of Ransom shit so maybe I'll post it one of these days lol.

Jim Jones - Back On Black

I need to get this without the tags! Jimmy does his thing on this shit.

This and that Cam track above are both on DJ Kay Slay's Blockstars mixtape.

Cam'ron - La Bamba (feat. Vado)

What kinda straggly looking goatee was that?? I had a cleaner looking goatee than that in middle school lol. And who was that lame looking dude with the 5x too big hat on?? Niggas still doing that?? I mean it was never cool, but in 2009 it definitely shouldn't be.

The song was decent though, I just need that Killa Season 2 some time before this year is up.

MuZik!! (That Really Isn't Good Enough To Be On My Site)

Just giving the heads up now, all this shit is pretty wack lol.

Gucci Mane - I'm On One (feat. Rich Boy)

Good news and bad news. The good news is that this is the wackest song of the bunch. The bad news is that its included in the bunch because "wack" really isn't a strong enough word to sum up what Gucci Mane does.

Mr. Hudson - Anyone But Him (feat. Kanye West)

There's really no nice way to say this, but this song fuckin' sucks! Sounds like some shit you'd hear as a parody in a comedy. Some of it was off beat and shit too. I almost didn't bother waiting around for Kanye.

Mr. Hudson - Everything Is Broken (feat. KiD CuDi)

Better than the Kanye one but this may rival Turn My Swag On for least amount of lyrics in a song.

Cam'ron - Cocaine (feat. Vado)

Just in case you thought Cam was becoming a decent rapper he drops this to let you know he's still his wack rapping self lol.

Chris Brown - Shine On Me

Not bad as far as Chris Brown songs go, but not good as far as good songs go lol.

Omarion - What Do U Say

Not terrible really, but it was pretty generic and boring so it fits into what I was going for with this post. If its any constellation this is the best of these terrible songs lol.

Dawn Richards - Love Not War

Dawn ALMOST escaped being put in this post, but the auto-tuned did her in. I was even gonna overlook the fact that she probably found this in the trash can of an old Danity Kane recording session.

Cam'ron - Professional/You The Baddest/We Here Now

Here's some Killa Cam shit from his upcoming Boss Of All Bosses Gangsta Grillz mixtape.

Cam'ron - Professional (feat. Vado & Byrd Lady)

Pretty okay. I kinda liked the beat, but I couldn't picture myself listening to this track again. I mean it was no Soulja Boy or Gucci Mane shit, but it was great.

Cam'ron - You The Baddest (feat. Vado)

I actually like this one. I don't know if its just because the beat is so nasty, but I love it. Very good chance this one catches a few more plays from me.

Cam'ron - We Here Now (feat. Vado)

Aight now this is more like it! This is that good ol' wack Cam'ron that we all grew to come accustomed to! Terribly wack lyrics, repetitive sample on the beat, just that good ol Dipset shit people used to love back in 2003 and 2004 lol.
