BEST SELLING ARTISTS IN 2009; YOU WILL BE SURPRISED!

AllHipHop.com did a run down of the top sellers of Hip Hop music in 2009 and you may be surprised who made the successful sales this year.  Here goes:

Eminem, has the best selling Hip-Hop album of 2009.  Known as the Michael Jackson of Hip Hop in terms of sales, Eminem left the competition in the dust moving 1 533 184 CDs of Relapse.  If you still have not got the album and want to it is being re-released with an additional 7 songs on an album called Relapse: Refill.

Black Eyed Pea’s fifth album sold 1,440,895 copies in great part due to their singles and a little Toronto drama with Paris Hilton LOL.  This album continues to sell even today, never dropping out of the Top 50.

Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 sold 1,337,192 copies this year, quieting talk about being too old and out of touch.  Jigga proved his Masonic influence is still strong.  Its the ROC!

Rick Ross proved quality music is most important when his image and credibility was almost shattered by a ruthless attack campaign by 50 Cent (I believe Lil Wayne’s kissing of Baby already proved this).  Anyway, the Bawse sold 401,000 copies of his third album Deeper Than Rap.

Jadakiss proved in ‘09′ that hometown support can be all you need sometimes (and that New York and the East coast still buy records) buy surprising everyone and selling 342 000 of The Last Kiss album.  Diddy isn’t foolish.  Noticing the selling potential, Jada and did have mended their issues and are working again.

I like Fabolous but his last CD was horrible in my opinion but there are 270 000 people who bought the album who may disagree with me (I bought the album but was not happy with my purchase).

Now if you live in Toronto, are from Toronto or even visited and like the city, stand up and be proud because I was surprised to find that our very own Drake made the list.  Now the impressive thing isn’t that he made the list but rather that he made the list by selling 257 000 copies of So Far Gone, yes the mixtape that was released for free on the internet months before!  Yes, Toronto artists get busy.

Last but not least, a personal favourite of mine, 50 Cent proves persistence and a hustlers ambition (and drama) pays off with 227 000 copies of Before I Self Destruct sold to date.

It should be noted last weeks sales were Lil Wayne and Young Money pushed about 1400 000 their first week to hit the Top 10 of the charts. Mary J. Blige sold about 340 000, landing her at the No. 2 slot for her debut.

Eminem Offering Autographed Pictures For Charity

As the year comes to a close for Eminem, the artist of the decade, he is donning a new character to promote his latest release. The re-installment of his already widely successful project, Relapse: Refill is in stores and Em is donning himself as ‘Shady Claus’ in support of the album.

Keeping in character with his ‘Shady Claus’ theme, Em’s giving true fans a chance to get an autographed picture with him for a good cause.

On his website an application allows users to upload pictures of themselves and add it to a shot of Shady Claus which makes it looks like you’re sitting on Em’s lap.

The web version of the picture is free but for those looking to be one step closer to Marshall Mathers, you can order an official copy of the picture signed by the man himself.

Proceeds from the sale of Shady Claus autographed photos will go to Eminem’s charity for disadvantaged youth, The Marshall Mathers Foundation, and stans can expect them in four to six weeks.

To order your Shady Claus picture visit www.Eminem.com.

Shady Claus Is Coming to Town

You too can have your picture taken on Eminem’s lap. The rapper is offering Christmas greetings on his website for $24.95 a pop. Insert your face into one of four naughty or nice photos with Shady Claus. The print will be sent to the North Pole (aka Detroit) and autographed by Slim Shady himself sometime before President’s Day. All proceeds will go to The Marshall Mathers Foundation, Eminem’s charitable organization for the support and development of disadvantaged youth.

Hotdog's Bun Bouncer

It’s about that time of the week for new music.  So here we go:

Here’s something of the Rebirth, which is supposed to drop April 7th May 19th August 18th December 21st February 1st, 2010: Lil’ Wayne ft. Eminem – Drop The World

This might be my 2010 Anthem: Juicy J & Project Pat Ft. Slim Thug, & New Genesis – Ike Turner Pimpin

This is off the forthcoming Thug Motivation 103: Young Jeezy ft. Lil’ Wayne – Scared Money

After the jump I got more songs from Drake, Jeezy & Luda, and something for the club heads.

Drake ft. Colin Munroe – Runaway Girl

Here’s a little freestyle from Young Jeezy & Ludacris – Go Girl

And finally something for the techno fans (I think most of us will remember this song though): Everything But The Girl – Missing (Greg Downey Remix)

-Hotdogs Anderson

(P.S.  first music post without a mention of Gucci Mane; pretty proud of myself)

(P.P.S. Damn, I just mentioned him)

Where's Waldo? I mean, Where's Wayne?!

I was watching Young Money on the Mo’nique Show tonight, and it’s funny, it’s been a long time since one hiphop group took over the whole industry. For example, remember when Jay-Z & Dame Dash had Rocafella and a million soldiers behind them? How about when Eminem & Dre first got with 50 & G-Unit? Everyone and their mother wanted to be down with Fif, from the mixtape rappers to the mainstream ones to the wankster whiteboys who live in white america. Cam’ron did it too, with Dipset. I think Dipset was the last group to hold down New York while the other regions grew and took over. Shit, til this day the Diplomats are still a powerful movement if only they could stop the beefing and reunite again. Cam’ron has the potential to bring NEW YORK BACK!

Anyways, here’s a track for download with the whole Young Money roster minus the martian.

Download: Gudda Gudda, Jae Millz, Nicki Minaj, Lil Twist, Lil Chuckee – Where’s Wayne

Lil' Wayne - Drop The World ft. Eminem

This track had my eye for obvious reasons, it features Eminem. And after listening it is so far my favorite track I’ve heard off Rebirth probably (I liked “Hot Revolver”). I’m not really sold on this album being too special at all but his last album sold a couple million. That in itself means I need to pay attention to anythign Weezy is doing. What do you think about that track?

Lil Wayne and Eminem Track for “Rebirth” Leaks

Lil Wayne’s rap career has been synonymous with dealing with early leaks.  With The Rebirth album being pushed back to 2010, the rapper has been prepping music videos to accompany the songs that have already been dropped to the public.

Weezy may have sprung one leak all too soon, however, as “Drop This World” recently hit the net featuring Detroit’s own Eminem.

Since their collaboration on “Forever” Wayne stated it didn’t really count and that he was still looking for the two to have an actual track which has culminated into this.

Weigh in on the track “Drop This World” and state if Wayne was able to compete with the re-energized Shady or if he was a victim like Jay-Z on “Renegage” that got murdered on his own sh*t.
