Cam’Ron debuts in the #3 spot this week with his comeback disc Crime Pays. After surprising everyone with her #1 debut last week, Chrisette Michele’s Epiphany slips to #8 with 113,000 units sold to date.  Rick Ross follows with over 270,000 sold of Deeper Than Rap, and Ciara’s Fantasy Ride rounds out the Top 10 with 107,000.

Unfortunately, all the positive press hasn’t helped Asher Roth at the cash registers. After over a month in stores, his Asleep in the Bread Aisle has only moved 112,000 copies. Here’s a random sampling of how everyone else is doing: (more…)

During our recent interview with hip-hop duo The Knux, the brothers spoke about everything from growing up in New Orleans to reaching out to the youth through community service. And when the subject turned to the recent controversy surrounding Rick Ross’ rumored past as a correctional officer and the “reality” of hip-hop, we found out that “The Boss” isn’t the only one who used to work for the law.

T.I.’s Paper Trail is the #1 album for the second week in a row. Buoyed by the dominance of “Whatever You Like” and “Live Your Life” at radio, it’s sold over 746,000 copies to date. Here’s a random sampling of how everyone else is doing:

PLATINUM AND WATCHING YOU GET DIZZIER
Alicia Keys, As I Am - 3.6 million
Lil’ Wayne, The Carter III - 2.5 million
Chris Brown, Exclusive - 1.8 million
Mariah Carey, E=MC2 - 1.2 million

Well, well, well. Look who finally owned up to Don Diva Magazine about his past life as a corrections officer. Isn’t it funny that “The Boss” could be completely open about all the supposed white he was pushing, but refused to talk about the legitimate job he held?

What a sad time for hip-hop that making money legally is frowned upon. Then again, that is only in the realm of fake rappers. Those with actual talent don’t care if you know they used to sling fries or sell insurance.

Dude first lost me a couple years ago when he claimed to have no idea who the real “Freeway” Ricky Ross was. Uh, you have his name and his trademark beard, but you never heard of him? Riiiiight.

See what Rick Ross had to say about being a C.O. for yourself. (more…)
