Am i trippin or are release dates back in effect?!?! ((lessondary radio))

September 13, 2007 | Tags: Little Brother, Common, 50 cent, Kanye West, Talib Kweli

so wait, not like im really into soundscan numbers like that but did the 9/11 face off shut kenney chesney outta even seein the number one spot? i mean never mind who actually won in the sales race between kanye and 50 cus it all boils down to hip hop but did middle america show up to wal mart in their cowboy hats to cop CURTIS to pump while ridin on their tractors?

whoa

people do yall realize what that means? i mean record companies are crying about sales being down and no doubt its harder to move product than ever but with common, kweli, kanye, and 50 (who else am i forgetting that dropped recently) all coming out nad doing good 1st weeks numbers maybe the labels will be a little more willing to push and promote your favorite artists.

the last time i remember a release date holding this much weight was when outkast, jay z, a tribe called quest and blackstar (if im not mistaken) all dropped on the same day. man that shit was CRAZY! and now i mean to much lesser homegrown hype and more media wizardry they kinda created the same effect by pitting two top artists against each other. but even before that man it feels good to see artists that we dotn feel get their props represented on the charts man.

even tho little brother got pushed back man i feel like the tide is turning and people are showing up at the stores, tay and pooh will do well. im very assured of it, i think people are goin out to whatever stores that are left and copping. i mean everybody and they MOMMA had both kanye and curtis before it dropped but that aint stop em from gettin a proper copy you know?.

call me crazy but yeah, i think rap is winning again.

oh yeah and yall know what time it is... LESSONDARY RADIO! this week we explain how we didnt get to perform and almost got arrested in dc. check it out...
