What’s going on Hip-Hoppers? Hope everyone enjoyed their Memorial Day weekend. And for those who didn’t have a Memorial Day weekend, I hope you enjoyed your weekend!

Ok! So to the chart! With 3 new albums on the chart this week and an overall rise in rankings, this week is looking a lot better than last, as far as hip-hop albums are concerned. The music industry is still feeling the weight of the bad economy, but at least they’re are still making some money!

Cam’ron is back! And he is our new leader on the Billboard 200. Haven’t heard this album yet, but plan to purchase this week. Deeper Than Rap only dropped one position, which shows solidity from last week to this week. Paul Wall released his Fast Life album and it debuted at #15. Probably not what he hoped for, but not bad considering that his single isn’t really getting any serious radio spins. Gucci Mane’s Murder Was The Case came in at #23 in it’s debut. The title of his album is pretty controversial considering the murder case he beat. I like Gucci Mane as a rapper, but don’t know if the content in his album is going to be entertaining enough to go buy it. If someone could let me know, I’d highly appreciate it! Anyhow, Jadakiss, who was in 2nd place last week at #34, is in 5th place this week still at #34. Mike Jones’ The Voice, is the only album to have really taken a dive this week. With that said, here are your hip-hop albums on the Billboard 200…..
