First Week Sales Predictions For T.I.’s “Paperwork” Are In

T.I. returned to music this week with his 9th studio album Paperwork. Thirteen years after the release of his debut LP I’m Serious, Tip’s latest project is not predicted to move the same big number of units in its first week like earlier works such as King (522,000), T.I. vs. T.I.P. (468,000), and Paper Trail (357,000). [ALSO READ: T.I. Addresses How He Settled Iggy Azalea/Snoop Dogg Beef] According to Hits Daily Double, T.I.’s Paperwork is looking to sell around 65,000 – 70,000 units this week. At the moment, that would put him in a close race with Def Jam artist Logic for chart positioning. The Maryland native’s Under Pressure is also predicted to sell 65,000 – 70,000. Metal band Slipknot is leading the new release pack with predicted sales around 100,000 – 110,000 for .5: The Gray Chapter. Tip’s last LP Trouble Man: Heavy Is the Head opened with 179,000 units sold and went on to sell over 500,000 copies. The Hustle Gang leader’s previous seven albums have all gone at least gold.

Juvenile Talks Signing Back With Cash Money, Shares Thoughts On Lil Wayne Vs Label

Some Hip Hop followers were surprised to find out veteran rapper Juvenile decided to sign back with Cash Money Records after the label has been accused for years of not properly compensating its artists. Juve stopped by The Breakfast Club this week, and the New Orleans rhymer addressed his return to Cash Money. [ALSO READ: Juvenile Announces He Has Re-Signed With Cash Money (VIDEO)] “We worked it out. They cut the check,” stated Juvenile. “It’s a matter of lawyers sitting at the table. Lawyers are gonna do their thing, and we’re gonna do our thing outside of it. They worked it out.” When Juve first rose to prominence in the late 1990’s he teamed with fellow Cash Money artists Lil Wayne, Young Turk, and B.G. to form the group Hot Boys. Both Wayne and Turk are now suing the company for past royalties. Juvenile briefly gave his views on Wayne’s legal battle against CMB. “I just stay out the way,” Juvenile said. “It ain’t my position to even give advice. I’m gonna stay out of tha...

GloRilla "GLORIOUS" Album Review

GloRilla GLORIOUS New Album Review Hip Hop News2024 CMG/Interscope Records Glo's still got some rough edges to smooth out, but her studio debut both deepens her artistry and emphasizes its strengths. With a breakout hit as massive as "F.N.F.," it would've been easy for GloRilla to just stick to that sound and appeal to get her bag as hip-hop's most beloved new femcee of that year. To be fair, that's kind of what she did in the following months, giving us single after single of some dirty Memphis bangers that she earned her fair share of hate for, along with every other woman rapper being just as hedonistic as the guys without that patriarchal benefit of the doubt. However, the Tennessee native clearly didn't want to rush her studio debut, and now that GLORIOUS is here, we can easily see why. On this new album, GloRilla amps up the regionality of her artistry with no need for excessive bells and whistles, makes the most out of her various flows and ...

Young Money Sued Because Lil Wayne's a Bad Sport!!!

Lil Wayne had a front row seat watching Floyd Mayweather beat Manny Pacquiao. He also watched the Ravens beat the 49ers in the 2013 Super Bowl. He even watched the finals of the NCAA Women's Tourney. And he stiffed the ticket brokers ... allegedly. Tickets of America and White Glove International claim Wayne got $119,400 worth of tickets and never paid a cent. According to the lawsuit, Wayne got tickets for the following events: -- Mayweather vs. Pacquiao $67,500 -- Super Bowl XLVII $14,000 -- MTV Video Music Awards $4,000 -- Heat vs. Hawks $11,000 -- Lakers vs. Rockets $11,100 -- Clippers vs. Rockets $11,300 And this is sad ... NCAA Women's Basketball Final Four -- a measly $500. The suit claims Wayne got the tickets between February 2013 and June 2015. The suit names Young Money and Wayne's manager, Cortez Bryant, but not the rapper himself. We reached out to Wayne. So far no word back.
