CORNEL WEST HONORS BIG BOI
Dr. Cornell West, one of the most prolific minds of our time, honors Antwan “Big Boi” Patton, one of the most prolific voices of our time, with the 2008 Renaissance Award at the 20th Anniversary of the National Black Arts Festival in Atlanta.
Shoutout to Tory at Urban News Network for the info.
LEXUS’S ARRIVING IN STYLE EVENT

Okay, so did ya’ll read where C.Mili said she was dropped because Def Jam wanted to put their money on her album. I say girl you weren’t selling any records. Also, it is all about image. I am glad Rihanna switched up her image because we all know everyone from Jlo Beyonce Solange Ashanti and C. Mili where carbon copies of each other. Although, I will be getting my lace front.

Fans of Miss Keshia Cole #1 Billboard spot: Early estimates say it looks like her 3rd studio release will sell anywhere between 275,000 and 300,000 copies. Special thanks to our friends at brownsista.com LMAO

300k? That ain’t bad at all.
And yeah, I saw her reality show for the first time the other day and it’s not bad at all. Yeah it’s a touch ghet-to, but so what; ghetto people can be on TV too.
Andre, I’ve been hearing good things about that movie; but it’d take my GF to drag me to see anything that doesn’t have CGI in it.

This is for the person asking about album sales:
In a week without a top 10 debut, Taylor Swift’s “Fearless” reclaims the top spot on The Billboard 200, inching up 2-1 thanks to a 29% sales increase to 249,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
“Fearless” debuted at No. 1 five weeks ago with 592,000 and has shifted 1.5 million so far. Last week’s chart-topper, Britney Spears’ Jive set “Circus,” falls to No. 2 with 200,000 (-60%). Beyonce’s “I Am … Sasha Fierce” (Music World/Columbia) holds tight at No. 3 for a second week on a 4% increase to 159,000. With a 17% increase to 156,000, Nickelback’s “Dark Horse” (Roadrunner) ascends 5-4.
The Chop Shop/Atlantic soundtrack to “Twilight” climbs 6-5 with 132,000 (-1%) as Kanye West’s “808s & Heartbreak” (Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam) slips 4-6 with 127,000 (-10%). Rebounding 9-7 on a 27% sales boost, the multi-label hits compilation “Now 29″ moves 114,000 units. AC/DC’s Wal-mart exclusive album “Black Ice” (Columbia) re-enters the top tier 11-8 on a 30% sales increase to 110,000.
The soundtrack to Disney’s “High School Musical 3: Senior Year” falls 8-9 despite an 18% sales boost to 107,000. David Cook’s self-titled 19 Recordings/RCA debut rounds out the top 10, staying put at No. 10 with 104,000 (+19%).
Music Soulchild’s “onmyradio” (Atlantic) debuts at No. 11 with 91,000 copies. The soul/R&B singer has two prior No. 1s, including 2007’s “Luvanmusiq.”
Entering at No. 12 is Common’s “Universal Mind Control” with 82,000. The G.O.O.D./Geffen set comes on the heels of the rapper’s 2007 album “Finding Forever,” which peaked at No. 1.
Other debuts this week include Brandy’s Koch/Epic set “Human” at No. 15 with 73,000 and Avant’s fifth, self-titled album from Capitol at No. 26 with 52,000.

Akon weighs in on the Lady GaGa vs. Christina Aguilera comparisons. “I definitely feel that Christina Aguilera is very inspired by Lady GaGa. It’s almost identical,” he tells Rap-Up TV about Christina’s uncanny resemblance to his Konlive artist, who currently has a top 5 hit with “Just Dance.” “She was never doing that before Lady GaGa came out.” Plus, he gives us the scoop on signing TLC’s Chilli to his label and the possibility of a Grammy for his camp. Do you agree/disagree. Thanks rap-up.com

I posted twice yesterday and there is only 1 of my posts here today….ANYWHO….
Those album sales are good this week. Taylor Swift is kicking some major butt!!! And Beyonce is well over 1 million copies sold..not bad at all Ms. Fierce!
