Top Hip-Hop Billboard Chart as of Feb. 17th
Even though we still have the same 5 rappers on the list, some things have finally changed up a bit with the albums listed. Kanye West’s 808’s and Heartbreak is ceritfied platinum. His position fell from last week only being overtaken by Jamie Foxx’s Intuition. 3 new top 10 debuts explain Kanye’s fall from last week. T.I. fell a few spots while Lil Wayne climbed a few. Plies has showed the most improvement from last week, while Ludacris showed the least. However, Ludacris’ Theater of the Mind has been certified Gold, so regardless of his position on the billboard, that is something that he has got to be feeling good about. Of these 5 albums, Ludacris may just be the last man standing…
