Where The F Did I Go?

To my legions of readers, don't fret. I am in the process of developing a new and improved blog that will kick your fuckin ass. Stay tuned....

Soundscan Top 5

1. Bon Jovi - Lost Highway - 291k
2. White Stripes - Icky Thump - 223k
3. Brad Paisly - 5th Gear - 197k
4. Toby Keith - Big Dog Daddy - 73k
5. Paul McCartney - Memory Almost Full - 64k

Top 3 are debuts. Bon Jovi still got it, shit. Everyone is gonna start doing country albums now. No hip hop or pop in the top 5 this week. Can't say that I have any one of these CD's either.

Stronger

It's aight.

New Music Tuesday

Kelly Clarkson - My December
All this hoopla about her album being trash, Clive shittin on her in public, her first single making me go deaf in my left ear and what's the result? A piece of shit album. They bumped the album up because why pour more $$ into a project that has no potential? Let's throw it out there and keep it moving. No tour, no manager....looks like Clive is teaching a lesson. Album sounds like a bunch of throw away joints. Not one hot song on this fuckin thing except for maybe "Irvine." I wasted too much time just writing this review. Grade: D



Pharoahe Monch - Desire
He'll never get that commercial love, but it's good to hear this dude still make music. At the risk of him sounding bitter, he really serves as the voice of a lot of artists out there who make that raw shit who don't get that shine. Solid listen for the underground head, but he can do better with some better production. Grade: B -



Marc Broussard - S.O.S. - Save Our Soul
Banger from a soul and r&b white boy who returns with this indy release. Definite listen to check out front to back. Grade: B

Joint To Bump For The Weekend

Ja Rule f/ Lil Wayne - Uh Ohhhhh

Uh oh is right, this track is crazy. Brings you back to when Ja first dropped.

Soundscan Top 5

1. Toby Keith - Big Dog Daddy - 204k
2. Fabolous - From Nothin' To Somethin - 159k
3. Paul McCartney - Memory Almost Full - 106k
4. Maroon 5 - It Won't Be Soon Before Long - 87k
5. T-Pain - Epiphany - 81k

The game is fucked up man, country debuts only brings in 200k. Fab has a respectable debut, Paul is a Beatle, Maroon 5 sticks (album grows on you, just like the last joint) and T-Pain hangs around.

Notable mentions: Khaled in at 8 with almost 80k scanned. Paramore with a top 20 debut. And believe it or not, Timbo isn't even gold yet.
