Hip Hop Album Sales: The Week Ending 8/5/2012

Rick Ross' "God Forgives, I Don't" takes #1 almost 200,000 units ahead of #2. La Coka Nostra's "Masters Of The Dark Arts" lives up to its name, as Aer offers a successful "Bright Side."

As predicted, Rick Ross scored a #1 with God Forgives, I Don't. The Miami, Florida rapper's latest Def Jam Records release is his fourth overall #1, after 2010's Teflon Don missed the mark at #2.

Hardcore Hip Hop collective La Coka Nostra also debuted on the Top 200. Ill Bill, Slaine, Danny Boy and DJ Lethal's second studio album, Masters Of The Dark Arts followed the first's charting appearance three years ago. With members from Non-Phixion, House Of Pain and Special Teamz, the latest lineup no longer includes Everlast.

Brighton, Massachussetts duo Aer also scored a #77 debut for their first album, The Bright Side. The digital album meshes Pop, Reggae, and Electronic with Hip Hop, as the band tours with OCD: Moosh & Twist.
Rick Ross Does Not Forgive The Charts

At #1, Rick Ross' fifth solo album sold 179,000 more units than #2, Zac Brown Band's Uncaged. The latest from the Boss features Andre 3000, Jay-Z and Dr. Dre. The Maybach Music Group honcho also solicited production from Jake One, Reefa, and Cool & Dre on his latest. This project also out-sold the first week performance of label-mate and collaborator Nas, who released Life Is Good earlier in the month.
La Coka Nostra Are Masters Indeed

Now a quartet, La Coka Nostra continues to lead fans to the marketplace for their albums. Following 2009's A Brand You Can Trust, Masters Of The Dark Arts features appearances from Sean Price, Vinnie Paz and The Arsonists' Q-Unique, along with production courtesy of DJ Premier, Statik Selektah and longtime Jedi Mind Tricks affiliate Scott Stallone. The sophomore studio album also marks the group's first release on Fat Beats Records, where Ill Bill has dropped solo efforts.

Aşa s-a destrămat Fugees! Wyclef Jean: Lauryn Hill m-a minţit că este însărcinată cu mine

Niciodată nu este prea târziu să clarifici lucrurile. Aşa pare să fi gândit Wyclef Jean, care la 15 ani după destrămarea Fugees a dezvăluit de ce s-a destrămat grupul şi de ce nu ar fi de acord cu reunirea. Motivul este cât se poate de simplu: rapperul născut în Haiti s-a cuplat cu Lauryn Hill, şi nu a putut să o ierte când l-a lăsat să creadă că este tatăl copilului ei.

Wyclef, care în octombrie va împlini 43 de ani, era căsătorit încă de la naşterea celebrului grup, în 1994, cu Marie Claudinette. Dar asta nu l-a împiedicat să trăiască o dragoste adulteră, dar aprinsă, cu colega lui de trupă. „Când albumul lui Lauryn Hill a ieşit pe piaţă (este vorba despre The Miseducation, 1998 - n. red), toată lumea s-a întors împotriva mea. Domnişoarele gândeau că eu i-am frânt inima. A asculta acel disc era ca şi cum i-ai fi citit jurnalul intim”, a spus starul.

Lucrurile nu au stat chiar aşa. În timp ce ieşea cu Wyclef, cântăreaţa a început să se vadă şi cu Rohan Marley şi a rămas însărcinată. „Eram căsătorit, iar Lauryn şi cu mine aveam o relaţie, ba chiar m-a făcut să cred că aşteaptă un copil de la mine. După asta, nu am putut să o iert. Nu mai putea să-mi fie muză, ceva s-a rupt. Nu am exorcizat niciodată asta prin muzică, aşa cum a făcut Lauryn cu The Miseducation, dar am continuat să compun, şi să compun…”, a subliniat rapperul.

Până la urmă, s-a dovedit că micuţul Zion, născut în 1997, era copilul fiului legendarului Bob Marley. Rohan şi Lauryn au avut încă patru copii. Dar, când cântăreaţa a născut al şaselea urmaş, al cărui tată era necunoscut, Marley, fost fotbalist, devenit om de afaceri, a părăsit-o şi s-a cuplat cu modelul Isabeli Fontana, cu care este logodit. Ea este acum cercetată pentru fraudă fiscală, s-a recunoscut vinovată şi riscă un an de închisoare.

Cât despre Wyclef Jean, el a rămas cu designerul Marie Claudinette, alături de care a adoptat o fetiţă. Oricum, starul crede că şi dacă nu era înşelat şi minţit de Lauryn, Fugees avea puţine şanse să supravieţuiască poveştii lor de dragoste. „Dacă eşti căsătorit şi prizonier într-un triunghi amoros cu un membru al formaţiei tale, nu poate dura. Explozia este inevitabilă. Dacă nu ar fi fost acel copil, poate lucrurile ar fi luat o altă turnură”, a mai spus Wyclef Jean.

Once again, The Roots x the Wu-Tang Clan terrorize a live Jimmy Fallon jam like drones in Pakistan. Black Thought kicks off the proceedings and fills in as necessary, proving what we already knew about Tariq–in a rap battle he is worth 10 conventional soldiers. But there’s nothing quite like the energy of 7 or 8 samurai onstage, with ODB-in-spiritual-essence trading bars and ad-libs back and forth with the real-as-hell RZA, Ghostface Killah and crew. This clip should be sub-titled “when keeping it real goes right.” Watch below–with a capital ‘W’:
