DOWNLOAD THREE HO'S LIKE SANTA

The homie Lumbajack (Denver,CO) is one of my favorite bloggers, and this is why. Song selection. This dude really knows his Rap.

Things I learned while listening to EGG NOG PIMPIN/THREE HO'S LIKE SANTA:

1. DIPSET has made far more Christmas Music than Bing Crosby.

2. That song I really like off that old Screw Tape is I WISH by THA DOGG POUND. I still like it better chopped and screwed though.

3. For some reason, DIPSET has made a ton of Christmas Music.

The Adventures of Ichiban on the CMJ Charts

I realized earlier this week that a lot of you amateur journalists might be confused about the news we have been reporting regarding the CMJ Hip Hop Charts.

This is because The Official CMJ Website does not post a new chart for the public to see until usually 2 or 3 weeks after that chart is released.

So for the sake of clarity, we have chronicled the rise of "Psycle Analysis", the debut album from Rapper Ichiban of Denver, on the CMJ Hip Hop Top 40.

















CMJ Issue #1084:
In his fifth week on the CMJ Top 40 Hip Hop chart, Ichiban dropped out of the Top 20, and landed at #21 on the CMJ Hip Hop chart.

CMJ Issue #1083: In his fourth week on the CMJ Top 40 Hip Hop chart, Ichiban reached his highest mark yet, breaking the Top 20, and landing at #18. This is especially important because now YOU can go to CMJ.COM, next week, and Ichiban's music will be featured on the Top 20 Hip Hop Chart. Cracking the Top 20 provides Ichiban with many more benefits than before, because many publications only show the Top 20 for Hip Hop.

CMJ ISSUE #1082: In his third week on the CMJ Top 40 Hip Hop chart, Ichiban held down the #33 position he had claimed in Issue #1081. At this point he could have either gained momentum, or lost it completley.
