Tha Carter III...423K Sales In The First Day

WHY? HOW? WHAT HAS THIS EARTH COME TO? Lupe has been struggling since December and finally broke 500K and earned himself a gold record just recently. Lil Wayne sells 423,000 THE FIRST DAY! Think about this. If people keep doing this...he might just beat Outkast's record for a Diamond disc. 500K = Gold. 1M = Platinum. 10M = Diamond...Outkast>>>>>>Lil Wayne. The self proclaimed "Best Rapper Alive" obviously hasn't seen the impact he's had on hip hop compared to the impact Rakim, NaS, KRS-One, or OutKast has had. WEEZY F. JAILHOUSE LOVE BABY CANNOT RAP. He's just another long haired, club hit making, sex addict who occasionally kisses dudes on the mouth...But you know...that makes him totally acceptable in todays culture. With that said...

BOYCOTT LIL WAYNE!!!

Slept On CD's: Round One

This is my first post on my new "segment" or whatever. Underrated cds or rarely heard cds from people that are underground artists.

First up...Below The Heavens by Blu & Exile

This cd is a definite must have for ANY hip hop fan. If you like music with substance and meaning, then get this. You will not regret it. This cd is cheap on Amazon.com if you order it as MP3's. It's only 6.99 and it's WELL worth the money. The lyrics are solid being rapped by Blu and they have that natural feel that only underground or non-sell outs *cough*Lil Wayne*cough* can give. His voice and flow compliments Exile's bass heavy beats and orchestra style strings. From the opening track to the end track, it is one of a handful that I can listen to all the way through. Whether you like hip hop or not, you have to recognize the talent and emotions put into the lyrics and, dare I say, the beats. Exile basically pours his heart into this cd's production. It will not disappoint. Check out the videos on the side section in 2007.

C-Murder Murder Trial Delayed

via allhiphop.com


The murder trial of New Orleans rapper Corey “C-Murder” Miller has been pushed back until October.



The rapper was slated to go on trial on June 9, but after attorneys on both sides of the case met with Judge Martha Sassone, the trial was delayed until October 14.



C-Murder is charged with second-degree murder for allegedly shooting a 16-year-old to death inside a Harvey nightclub named Club Platinum.



According to the Associated Press, lawyers are haggling over some of the witnesses’ backgrounds, which was a major issue in the rapper’s first trial.



In September of 2003, a jury convicted Miller for shooting Steve Thomas during an altercation in the club.



In March of 2006, the rapper’s mandatory life sentence was overturned, by the Louisiana Supreme Court, after it was learned the prosecution expunged some of their witnesses criminal records, in order to boost their credibility in court.



C-Murder, 37, is currently free on $500,000 dollars bail, but is under strict house arrest.

T-Pain Kills A Man Over Chain

Via Sohh.com

Don't let that happy-go-lucky chubby exterior fool you, T-Pain don't play that! The Tallahassee tunesmith recently revealed his stone cold side in an interview with Blender:

"There's one [song] called 'Havoc.' It's a true story about when I got my chain snatched in New York the night before my first album dropped," T-Pain recalled. "Somebody snuck a gun in the club and stuck it in my stomach, but I wasn't going to give my chain up - it was my first chain. He pushed me back and as I was fallin' he snatched the chain and ran out the club. It was pretty weird. It's such an in-depth story, it's like a 5 minute song."

T-Pain hinted he may have resorted to deadly means to recover his chain, but eventually got the jewelry back. "He stole it to sell back to me ... but I didn't buy it back," the singer revealed. When Blender inquired whether the thief was still breathing, Pain's ominous reply was, "No, he's not alive."

Rebel Talking... T-Pain probably took the voicebox out and Auto-Tuned ol' boy to death.
