Tyga is the lone notable Hip-Hop release this week with his 3rd album Hotel California grabbing the #7 spot and selling around 54,000 units in the first week. For comparison, Tyga’s last album 2012’s Careless World: Rise Of The Last King sold 61,000 copies and came in at #4. I guess all this doesn’t really matter since Tyga recently said he’s never received a check from Young Money (Well at least he’s got Black Chyna). Hotel California review coming soon. Maybe.
