Rap Albums on The Billboard Charts

Whiz Khalifa's ROLLING PAPERS album is still the top selling Rap album on the charts. It sold 37,000 copies this week, bringing the total to 294,000 copies so far. I just hope he is able to go GOLD (500,000 copies sold) with this rate.

Lupe Fiasco's LASERS album sold 14,000 copies this week, and that brings his total sales so far of his third album to 334,000 copies sold. Hmm!!! I guess it is getting harder and harder for rappers to GOLD. I guess GOLD is the new PLATINUM...lol!

Diplomat member, Jim Jones sold 8,200 copies of his new album, CAPO. wow! I think that is low. He is now at a total of 29,000 copies sold so far of this album. Thank God it is on an independent label, so he is sure to make some pocket change off that; if not, it would be hard for him to recoup.

The grandfather of west coast rap, Snoop Dogg sold 7,8000 copies of his new album, DOGGUMENTARY, and the total now stands at 72,000 copies so far.
