 •  XXL Magazine  •  by XXL Staff  •  26 Comments

icecube.jpgBad Boy South’s Yung Joc and West Coast rap icon Ice Cube both had strong debuts this week, with their latest discs grabbing the #3 and #4 spots on Billboard’s Top 200 chart, respectively. Joc’s New Joc City, moved just under 150,000 units during its first week in stores, which was not enough to edge rock group A.F.I. and country music trio The Dixie Chicks for the top spots. Cube, whose Laugh Now, Cry Later is his first solo studio LP in six years, managed to come in at #4 with slightly under 145,000 units scanned. Miami’s DJ Khaled, a Terror Squad affiliate, also made his entry onto the charts at #12 this week with his Koch Records debut Listennn…The Album, selling just over 44,000 copies.

  • ReDiCuLouS

    Yo big up to Cube…even though I only bought (& probably will only purchase) DJ Khaled, even though the cd was a let down…Cool & Dre only had like 3 bangers on dat joint…just copped Bussa Buss’ joint yesterday instead of bootleggin’ it…in my opinion, it ain’t nearly as classic as “The Documentary”.~

  • Big Baby

    Ice Cube is not on Koch Records. One of Ice Cube’s companies is handling marketing and promotions. So, please stop saying that he is on Koch Records.

  • Lo-D

    that yung joc cd is bad ass….hes more creative then i think diddy let him be and it shows on songs like “dont play wit it” “i know you see it” “hear me comin” “flip flop” “first time” and “picture perfect”….why are people so picky about the rapper himself instead of his music…if yall actually listen to the album youll see that joc is more than “it’s goin down”….stop hatin’

  • Slim Shady
