EXCERPT FROM NAPPYAFRO.COM ~ This week we saw the return of Cam’ron to the charts after a three-year hiatus. Even though King Jerm was ready to put money down that Crime Pays would be on top of the charts this week, it went on the capture the #3 spot
and move 43,000 copies. Now, I’m not saying 43k is bad; people aren’t
really buy records these days. But I will say that I think that if
Killa had delivered a better album, the numbers would have been better
(Sounds simple huh?). That’s just my opinion. What’s next for Cam’ron? Paul Wall’s third album, Fast Life,
also debuted this week at #15. Even though I really wasn’t feeling the
album, I know some people who did. I actually like Paul Wall; he seems
like a genuine guy (I even got more respect for him after watching E! True Hollywood Story: Rapper Wives). And the last debut is from Atlanta’s own Gucci Mane with Murder She Wrote. Even though it’s an album not co-signed by Gucci himself, he went on sell 17,000 albums and take the #23 position.
