MUSIC NEWS: ALICIA KEYS SLIPS TO #2 SPOT, FREEWAY DEBUTS AT #42...ouch!

According to Billboard.com, her new album "As I Am" sold 349,000 copies this week bringing its 2 week total to over 1 million records sold. Chris Brown's new album "Exclusive" saw a resurgence this week, possibly helped by his appearance in the new film "This Christmas, as the album rose 10% in sales moving 121,000 copies and coming in at #9. Although it has been called one of the best album's of the year, Freeway's new album "Free At Last" debuted poorly on the charts selling only 36,000 copies and coming in at #42. reports this week, the top 11 albums all sold more than 100,000 copies, helped by the first week of the post-Thanksgiving shopping season. However, sales this week (13.94 million units) are down 18.1% from the same week last year (17.02 million). This week's sum is up 19% from last week's.

While many artist can hold down a set for a bout 30-40 minutes, very few can hold one set down for a good 90 minutes. MSN In Concert found it necessary to document all 90 minutes of this intimate concert President Carter put on for The Hammerstein Ballroom. With guest appearances from Beanie Sigel, Freeway, Memphis Bleek, Young Chris, Jadakiss, Lenny S, DJ Green Lantern, Diddy, and the Roc Boys Band, Jay and friends ran through hits such as "Roc Boys", "Encore", "Big Pimpin", "Give It To Me", "Jigga My Nigga", "Party Life", "Heart Of The City", "Pray" and a plethora of others.

FREEWAY SPEAKS TO BILLBOARD ABOUT HIS NEW ALBUM+ 3 TRACKS REPOSTED 4 U

free_at_last.jpg

Freeway’s long-delayed sophomore LP Free At Last, hit record stores last week. The bearded emcee spoke to Billboard and his this to say:

“The album is soulful. I think it’s gonna be another classic. I didn’t fall into what people thought I was going to do or what everyone else is doing. If you’re a fan, you’ll love it.”

I had the chance the peep the project in its entirety early on and as of now it stands in my book as one of the best East Coast hip-hop albums in recent years. The project got a lot of hype a while back when it was revealed that Jay-Z and 50 Cent, arguably the most influential hip-hop executives in the music business, would be co-executive producing the album. Their influence is rather understated though. In fact, I can’t even tell what exactly they did besides appear on the project as guest emcees.

The beats are richly layered and feature textured soul samples over pulsating drums. And while Freeway’s growling, almost-out-of-breath delivery has often been his Achilles heel, here it works in his favor as he weaves in and out of tracks. He effectively reminds us why we fell in love with him in the first place on Jay’s “1-900 Hustler

NEW PICS: JAY-Z ALBUM RELEASE PARTY @ THE VELVET ROOM

Thanks to The Derrty Truth

Jay-Z and Jermaine Dupri Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter hosted a party to celebrate the release of his latest album, American Gangster, at the Velvet Room in Atlanta, Georgia on Sunday. Jermaine Dupri, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross, Beanie Segal and Freeway were among attendance.

Jay-Z, Young Jeezy and Jermaine Dupri Jay-Z, Young Jeezy and Jermaine Dupri kicked it.

Beanie Segal, Rick Ross, Jay-Z, Young Jeezy and Freeway Young Jeezy can’t hold his liquor…

Jay-Z Jay-Z is reportedly struggling to promote his latest album — prompting rumors that he regrets coming out of “retirement” too soon.

The star with 99 Problems, but a bitch ain’t one, who famously announced his retirement four years ago in ‘03 before making an official comeback last year in ‘06, is having difficulties getting support for his new album, American Gangster.

A source says, “He is scrambling - the first single, Blue Magic, isn’t being played on radio. It’s the first time in his career he’s not doing well.”

But a spokesman for the hip-hop mogul insists reports are unfounded.

Jay-Z’s rep, Jana Fleishman, says, “It’s not true at all. It’s a conceptual album, so we’re not focusing on one single.”

Jay-Z is like the Mike Jordan of rap. His comeback is only messing up his stats!
