Rap Albums on Billboard Charts

New comer, Whiz Khalifa is at the top this week, selling 198,000 copies of his new album, Rolling Papers. His is the second biggest selling rap album opening for this year- lupe fiasco's lasers sold 204k copies in it's first week last month. I still love that Black And Yellow song, but i have not really heard enough material from him to say much about him.

Snoop Dogg is next with his new album, Doggumentary, which sold 51,000 copies after 7 days in stores. I think his sales have been on the low lately, so this isn't really a surprise. Old rappers don't sell that much anymore, even when they try to align with new rappers...maybe asides from Jay-Z, and maybe Nas. Busta Rhymes tries so hard, and still doesn't move huge units. When i say old rappers, i am referring to rappers that started rapping during the Biggie and Pac Era...the early 90's.

Lupe Fiasco's Laser's album sold 23,000 copies this week, bringing the total to 303,000 copies sold after a month in stores. I hope he can make it to 500k, because it would be disappointing for him to have a big first week sales and not make it to GOLD status.

Sorry, but i do not see what people like about this next artist- E-40. Anyway, his new double CD...or more liek two separate CD's that dropped the same day last week sold a cumulative 27,000 copies. Revenue Retrieving; Graveyard shift sold 14k, and Revenue Retrieving; Overtime Shift sold 13k.

Reakwon's Shaolin vs Wu-Tang sold 4,600 copies this week, bringing the total to 50k sold so far. And Pharoache Monch' W.A.R (We Are Renegades) album sold 4k this week, and is now at a total of 14,000 copies sold.
