50 CENT'S SOUNDSCAN NUMBER'S ARE OFFICIALLY IN!

The Top 10 doesn’t have a lot of Hip-Hop on it but we do have a new entry. Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson enters the charts at in the fifth slot with his latest album Before I Self Destruct. The queens MC managed to sell about 160,000 copies of his fourth disc which, to date, is the lowest sales the rapper has produced. The reviews for the album have been mixed but I will say that the movie that comes with it is not bad. In fact it’s pretty good. 50 has already come forward and said that the album leaked from an international plant which is not hard to believe. The album was everywhere…but is that the reason for the low sales? What do ya’ll think? Nevertheless, this is a hater's wet dream! The next question is how does an MC that has always spent a lot of time focusing on numbers (especially the numbers of rappers he doesn’t like) deal with the fact that his latest album hasn’t put up good numbers. I hope its go back to the studio (hungry) and put out another album. We’ll see.
