I saw Big Boi rock back in 2010 at Pitchfork in Chicago so, seeing some behind the scenes footage from his European tour is pretty cool. Check out Big Boi in Europe below!

Big Boi “The Crown Life” Short Film
Crown Royal Black and Big Boi just dropped a short film called The Crown Life in support of Big Boi’s recent partnership with Crown Royal Black. The film takes you behind the scenes with Big Boi in the studio, on the street, on photoshoots, etc. It’s pretty cool to see some behind the scenes footage of Big Boi in his day to day life. Check it out.
The Art of The Intro
Two of the greatest Intro tracks on an album. Big Boi and Kanye mastered that shit!!!!!!!!

Nothing too unusual. Big Boi is still moving a few units. Bun B as well. I wonder how Black Milk’s album will fare next week? Stay tuned. Pusha T also has a mixtape dropping with his G.O.O.D. Music family. Should be sick.
Big Boi “You Ain’t No DJ” Music Video featuring Yelawolf
Here is some more Friday heat for everyone. Big Boi’s new video dropped for his joint, You Ain’t No DJ featuring Yelawolf. The track is also produced by Andre 3000. I would have loved to hear him kick a verse but regardless he killed the beat. It’s still holding true, Big Boi has the album of the year. Kanye better drop some HEATERS because that Charlie Wilson and Beyonce song won’t do it. Check out “You Ain’t No DJ” below.
Go and buy Sir Lucious Left Foot right now!!!

It’s Wednesday again, wishing it was Friday but you know what that means. HipHopDx provided the weekly sales once again. The biggest story this week is not Eminem selling another 98,000 copies but Drake breaking the Platinum mark. Congrats to Drake for reaching Platinum with his debut album. Check the top.

I guess the Jersey Shore Soundtrack is moving more units than a lot of rappers. That’s funny. The Roots, Bun B and Big Boi are all moving a few thousand a week still. I wish the charts would reverse a little. Oh well. Until next week…….

It seems like I have been a day late and a dollar short in the last several weeks but I’m trying to keep up. Nothing crazy happened in the last week with sales. Eminem is stuck on top. Drake is one week from going platinum. Ricky Ross is well over 300K. Same ish, different week on the charts. Check the top.

The best album of 2010, Big Boi, is approaching 150K. I wonder what those numbers would be like if it was an Outkast album. Regardless, Big Boi is hitting the road for the Sir Lucious Left Foot tour this fall. Make sure you see him live. Bun B moved another 11,000 copies of his “5 Mic Classic”, Trill OG. And the KC native, Tech N9ne sold 2,400 copies this past week of his collab project. Stay tuned for more updates….
Weekly Sales
This week spelled double platinum for Eminem, who is back at number one moving, 133K this week. Ricky Rozay moved another 30K sitting at number 7. Mike Posner dropped his debut album and is sitting right below Rosssssss at number 8 moving 29K. And the Trill OG, Bun B moved another 17K in his second week. Check the top

Big Boi moved another 8K, despite having the best album of 2009, he can’t quite manage to do legendary numbers. Damn shame. The Roots and Damian Marley are still moving a few units as well. So far the best albums of the year go, 1. Big Boi, 2. The Roots, 3. Damian Marley and Nas. The Roots and Damian Marley and Nas are pretty much tied for 2nd in my opinion. Until next week…..

Sorry for last weeks absence but PTO was in full effect. This week’s album sales are nothing too crazy however, Bun B hit the charts with his new album, Trill OG, moving 41K in its first week. If you don’t already know, Trill OG was rated as a five mic classic by The Source magazine. Eminem moved another 150K and is sitting just under 2 Millie for Recovery. Check the top.

Big Boi’s album moved another 10K, while Drizzy Drake(no homo) is almost at a millie. Fat Joe will still catch some flack from 50 about this weeks sales but I heard the his new album isn’t bad. Maybe I’ll check it out.
ATLiens
Sorry for my absence on Friday but please know that I was bumping a certified classic all day and all weekend. Where to begin? Outkast is undoubtably the greatest hip hop entity of all time so, it was only right after seeing Big Boi live that I revisited their second album, ATLiens. If the artwork alone doesn’t make this shit great, well then every single song on the album does. While many people still might not have been giving Outkast their due after Southernplayalistic, ATLiens solidified their path into hip hop’s greatest. Aquemini was the homerun and everything after is just shit talking. Anyway, I’m not even sure where to begin with this album and what cut to show so, I’ll drop one of my favorite hooks ever, Millenium. Try to hum the hook all the way through. Once again, I’m sorry that it’s not Friday but ATLiens might make you feel like it is.
