Eavis says, "There's not as many as last year because we haven't got the super, big, big, big sort of headlining act anymore. We've gone for something middle range, although Jay-Z is huge in America.

"But it's not like Radiohead or a Muse or a Coldplay or an Oasis, is it? So we didn't expect the demand to be quite as high."

yall slept

xp i think my 'fave' lupe moment is that bet freestyle segment thing with him and styles and maybe... sway, i dunno, and lupe is all theatre 101 acting out some silly tiresome metaphor about crack is a dragon / hiphop is its teeth / money is its gums etc etc trying and failing to make kinship eye contact with styles who just doesnt know where to look

yeah that verse is hot but you're right about it being weird

i think he gives styles a five or something as he finishes his verse

lol it's with papoose "when we say BET we ain't trying to say bet/black entertainment, papoose is the best"

'good day' is great!

worst sax player ever.

mic geronimo was great!

"masta i.c."!

dude rick ross's non-sunglasses eyes are in the new video, they are crazzzy!

the answer is obvious

it's cause WE THE BEST

Fat Joe - The Elephant In The Room 46,260

RIP

didnt even know that shit came out already

is fat joe on his own indie label now though? just sayin' he might make more actual $$ than rick ross will for doing 200K

but anyway joe is really starting to wear on my nerves. i've always defended u joe.

I'm definitely hearing "Sensual Seduction" and "I Won't Tell" way, way more than "The Boss" (and I've heard "Maybach Music" a couple times). So these sales numbers kinda blow my mind. Not saying radio is the best indicator, but still.

I think Joe and Snoop have been releasing an album every 18 months for so long that one's bound to get lost in the shuffle now and then, whereas Ross is still kinda new and, as misguided as they may be, there are probably plenty of people who think of a new album from him as a big deal, must-have purchase right now. I was really hoping he'd disappear after Def Jam failed to make him the new Jeezy overnight, but after 2 years of Khaled posse cut ubiquity that's sadly what he might be now.

Joe makes dope albums sometimes (especially Loyalty and Me Myself & I) but this one's just OK for me.

i like the snoop song life of the party a lot.

joe going miami seems like a real sad little indicator for how much NYC has fallen off, which kinda bums me out.

yeah, "Life Of Da Party" is kinda awesome. it weirds me out how Mistah F.A.B. looks older than Snoop or Too Short in the video, though, I swear that guy is secretly 55 years old or something.

the funny thing about Joe being all "switch to south paw" is that his albums still have more hard east coast beats than most other NY rappers. good FJ profile in the Voice this week with a real LOL headline: http://www.villagevoice.com/music/0812,fat-joe-vs-the-volcano,381266,22.html

his nickname, Joey Crack, comes not from the rock, but from an old graffiti nickname based on the unfortunate visibility afforded by his low-slung pants.

The Elephant in the Room is the closest thing you'll find to sure-bet profitability in hip-hop this year.

46k lol

in all honesty though I wonder how much he makes per copy sold from Imperial and if it's a better rate than he'd get w/ Koch

i don't even remember reading about a single off of it

"I Won't Tell" (feat. J. Holiday) is currently at #37 on Hot 100, #12 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and #5 on Hot Rap Tracks

but it didn't get any burn on Discobelle, though, so I can see how you might have missed it.

i won't tell ain't exactly lean back or make it rain
