Jay-Z's latest release Kingdom Come is on pace to move an estimated 850,000 copies the first week in stores, giving the rapper the year's best selling CD in one week and another #1 album on the Billboard charts.
Kingdom Come is expected to debut at #1 on Billboard's Top 200 Chart next week, giving the rapper his 9th #1 album.
Jay-Z embarked on a massive promotional blitz for the album that included a world tour, a performance at the American Music Awards, commercials for the NBA, Budweiser and Hewlett-Packard, a one-day "Hangar Tour" of seven cities in 24 hours and continuous coverage on MTV and BET.
Snoop Dogg's Tha Blue Carpet Treatment will battle Chris Daughtrey's self-titled debut for the #2 position, with both albums selling around 270,000 copies.
In related news, police shutdown Avalon on Wednesday (Nov. 22), 30 minutes before the venue was to host hundreds of people celebrating the release of Jay-Z's album.
According to reports, police closed the club because of issues with its certificate of occupancy, which managers had unsuccessfully attempted to resolve for several weeks.
Many patrons that prepaid to attend party left the venue upset, even though Jay-Z was not expected at the event.

Summer is almost here...So people start to act a fool
Friday. 5.30.08 4:15 am
Thursday night was crazy, I saw somebody get hit by a car. Which is something I would not like to witness again. I hope whoever that was is doing well. Chicago has seen a rise in violence this year over 30 CPS students have been killed. Just currently, A 15 year old girl was killed from a gun shot, most of these students have been killed due to gun violence. The city is trying to get programs going for the summer because you've heard the saying "that when it gets warm, people like to act a fool." Kind of true, but why? Let's see how the summer goes, but hopefully all the killings and the hit and runs stop.

Should a principal be fired for plagiarism?
Friday. 5.30.08 4:51 am
I just read about a principal at Naperville Central High School who plagiarized a former student' s speech. Principal Jim Caudill said that he forget to ask the student for permission to use the speech, but that's bull because the students is now a teacher at the school. He lost his job over something so foolish, all he had to do was ask the lady now he's jobless. Do you all think he will be able to find another job as a principal or is his career as a principal over?

WHY DID NEW YORK GO STRAIGHT TO SILICON VALLEY?
Thursday. 3.15.07 11:40 pm
Why did New York do this to herself? No one really knows, but she claims its because her weight fluctuates a lot,and she loses her breast. I don't understand why she went that big, its one thing to get breast implant because you have small breast. When you just go too damn big, and don't even know what size they are that's just stupid. New York don't even know the accurate size of her boobs, she just let them do anything to her in surgery what a idiot. I wasn't so surprised when I heard her high school nick name was D-Breathe...Iol, I wonder why.
