The Numbers Game: T.I. Still On Paper Trail

liveyourlifenumbersgame103008.jpg

Even though T.I. got bumped down to the #3 spot this week by the likes of AC/DC & the cast of High School Musical, Paper Trail is still only less than 30,000 copies away from Platinum status (And seeing how he pushing around a 100k a week…). Not to take anything away from Clifford, I do think it helps him that no big Hip-Hop names have dropped anything in the last 4 weeks. Still, a “milli” in 5 weeks is no small task these days. What else? Let’s see: I thought about changing my name to Thelonious Funk (Hey, if Thic Flair Saul Wright did it, it must be cool!). We got a little political this week on nappyafro, much to my surprise (Hey, we do Hip-Hop. But it’s some smart and talented dudes on this staff; you can believe that slick! Shout out to SBK!). I can’t front on us being political; I guess it’s better than having ass shaking on the front page. I also found out we have a pimp on the staff; I’m not gonna say any names, but here a hint: H2O (Inside joke). See, this is what happens when I really don’t have anything to talk about in The Numbers Game; I ramble on. Well, enough of my foolishness; I’m tired of typing. Everybody stay safe. Peace. R.I.P.
