Lupe Fiasco album apparently sold only 58,000 units it's first week. There is a posting on the Atlantic Records message boards . On the post the person going by "Lupe" disputes the 58,000 units sold for Fiasco's debut album "Food & Liquor". The post says: "hahahaha....hi my peoples...actually this weeks Billboards numbers are off because of an error!!!...Best Buy hadn't turned in their sales...I must remind I was the number #1 seller at Best Buy this week...the numbers without Best Buy stand at 57,000...the new numbers will be out this Friday after they turn in...hahahahaha...GOD IS GREAT!!!!" ONE WORD: GRASPING.

In other news, Bone Crusher has set the weight loss record for VH1's hit reality show, "Celebrity Fit Club." He's currently on the show's fourth season and after 16 grueling weeks of strict dieting, intense physical challenges and exercise, he's lost 43 pounds. And there is still one episode to go. "Everyone wants to know how I lost all the weight," said Bone Crusher. "I'll tell them it's a lot of hard work and a few of my favorite recipes. I had no idea what I was getting into, but it's a lot of fun. I've changed the way I eat and I'm seeing and feeling real results." Great job Crusher! Congratulations!

Freddie Foxxx vs Rakim? Freddy Foxxx a.k.a. Bumpy Knuckles is calling out the God. The song is called "The King Is Down" and appears on his new LP, Amerikkkan Black Man. "I will eat Rakim's ass alive on any record, any stage," Bumpy Knuckles asserted recently. "When I finish with him, every bit of legendary status he had is gonna go out the window. I swear on everything I stand on, I will eat that n---a alive, bar by bar. I'll tell him to his mutha----in' face." As Mtv reports according to Foxxx, it dates back to the '80s in Wyandanch, New York, where Foxxx's rap crew "Supreme Force" used to battle with Rakim's team "The Love Brothers". This was before Eric B. and Rakim. "We got a history, you know. We got a real long history," Foxxx explained. "We from the same part of town. Ra has always had an attitude towards me that he was better than me — on the mic and more successful. How dare he think he can out-rhyme me. He has one style, that's all he's ever had. What really got Foxxx upset, he said, was a Q&A with Rakim he read on hip-hop Web site Halftime Online. Rakim was asked about a battle that supposedly took place back in the day between the Love Brothers and Supreme Force squad. "I never f---ing turned down a battle with that mutha----er!" Rakim is quoted as saying. Foxxx, you can front on the whole world, but you not fronting on me, n---a. ... Foxxx wasn't ferocious like that. Foxxx had two other cats that used to rhyme with him. They were a good group, but Foxxx wasn't ferocious like that baby pa." "I read the article and it set me off," Foxxx said. "He said I'm 'not ferocious.' How dare he? His ego kicked in. I said I'm gonna let the world who he really is. People are only calling him a legend because of what he did with Eric B. Everything after that was wack. Nobody will say it to his face." Foxxx said he's not sure when the dis record will be coming out, but his LP is slated for sometime in February.

This is really a waste of jail space. I mean come on!
Royce Da 5'9, has been sentenced to one year in prison after violating his probation, stemming from a charge of driving under the influence (DUI). The rapper was arrested and charged with DUI over the summer in his hometown of Oakland County, Michigan. He was sentenced to one year in jail, but may have a chance to challenge the judge's decision, which supporters have deemed as "harsh".



That's it for this week peeps, IM OUT…..Shaquueeesha.
