Trina’s "Still Da Baddest" debuted at No. 6 on Billboard Top 200 and topped the rap charts with 47, 000. (sorry Khia!)  Ricky Ross the Boss’ "Trilla" sold 41,300 for rap’s 2nd spot and has now totaled 383,100. Snoop and Flo Rida complete the 3rd and 4th spots.

AZ’s "Undeniable" only sold 5,700 units which almost landed him in rap charts top ten! wow. By the way, Undeniable deserves a listen. The album is more than decent.  These album sales are not a surprise at all, we are in recession!

Lupe Fiasco’s "The Cool" is almost gold with 441,000 units sold.

The mom of a teen boy who says he was smacked around by Tony Yayo, a member of 50 Cent’s G-Unit posse, is suing the rap stars for a big bucks payout.

WHY IS THAT? BECAUSE THAT’S HOW WHITE PEOPLE LOOK AT US. THEY ONLY PUT THE ONE OR TWO BLACKS IN, SO WHEN WE CONFRONT THEM ABOUT BEING RACIST FOR NOT HIRING MORE BLACKS THEY CAN SAY “THAT’S NOT TRUE, LOOK THERE’S A BLACK RIGHT THERE, LOOK AND A BLACK THERE!”

YES PEOPLE IN THE CORPORATE WORLD, FROM HOLLYWOOD TO INGLEWOOD RACISM IS ALIVE, KICKING AND AS STRONG AS EVER.
