Body On Me

Decent performances, I guess. Randomness, I know, but Ashanti’s dancers were getting it during ‘Good Good’…lol.

Sandcastle Disco

Rapper as made Billboard chart history this week with the first single from his forthcoming ‘Paper Trail LP, ‘Whatever You Like’ :

T.I. establishes the mark for biggest jump to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, as “Whatever You Like” soars 71-1 in its third week on the list.

A No. 1 opening on Hot Digital Songs with debut-week sales of 205,000 downloads is the cause for the record-setting Hot 100 move, which surpasses the 64-1 jump taken by Maroon 5’s “Makes Me Wonder” in May 2007.

“Like” is the rapper’s first No. 1 as a lead artist (he was featured on Justin Timberlake’s 2006 chart-topper, “My Love”) and his opening-week digital sum is the best by a rap track since Nielsen SoundScan began compiling download data in 2003. {Source}

Conratualtions to ol’ Clifford. Having released a bevy of more deserving singles, though, I would have preferred the likes of ‘Bring Em’ Out’ and ‘What You Know’ to have achieved the same success. Anyway, enough of my lil’ rant…a #1 is a #1. More power to him…

With The Game’s latest effort ‘L.A.X having finally hit stores this week, the Compton-bred rapper performed current single ‘Dope Boys’, along with Travis Barker, on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show last night. The track is one of my favourites from the LP, so it’s good to see it being done justice live. Good stuff.

What do you think of the performance?

It’s been, somewhat, of a slow news week day thus far, hence my creative juices are flowing more so than usual (lol)…enter That Grape Juice’s latest feature: Control Freak!

Your picks?

With Solange’s new LP ‘Sol-Angel & The Hadley Street Dreams’ out in stores this week, Ms. Knowles stopped by The Late Show with David Letterman last night to perform current single ‘Sandcastle Disco’. Some of the ‘interesting’ choreography aside, it was a pretty good performance.

What do you think of the performance?

In all fairness to Nelly, the video was an age ago. I mean, come on now…people need to let it go already IMO…

Your thoughts?

Kanye really is really churning out these videos from his ‘Graduation’ LP; so much so that I’m starting to think he’s funding them out of pocket. Anyway, the latest for ‘Good Morning’, which you can view above, is pretty cool.

What do you think of the video?
