At the beginning of this quarter I think I said that this would be the time for the big dogs to come out and play. cRap music blue chippers reign supreme in the Q4. Jay-Z has all the momentum of a runaway train similar to T.I. when he had both an album in stores (‘King’) and a feature film in theatres (‘A.T.L.’). What the hell has become of the world when CHARLIE ROSE has to sit down with Shawn Carter and call him by his stage name? This is why we created the cRap Music Fantasy League in the first place. You never really know what the fuck is going to happen in cRap music.
Speaking of T.I., or Tip, or whatever character he is acting as now. T.I. is the king of southern rap and he is a blue chip cRap music prospect. You will get your points from him no matter how shitastic his records are. And ‘T.I. vs. Tip’ was totally Top 10 shitastic. Diddy is in the top 5 of artists scoring totals for the cMFL and he hasn’t even released a record in over a year. Diddy does what it do to get his label owners their cMFL points. From punching out friends in the club to attracting more lawsuits than the GEICO lizard, Diddy is the definition of a blue chip artist. By any means necessary, he gets points.

So you ask me what the keys are to winning the DP Dot Com cRap Music Fantasy League?
Peep the pie chart above. Out of the 45 cRap Music Fantasy League label owners only two(2) did NOT select JAY-Z. What were they thinking?
18 of the 45 labels chose KanYe West and right now he is the second highest point scorer in the cMFL behind T.I. KanYe will be the difference between the winners and the whiners in this quarter’s pool.
Remember in Q3 when Remy Ma bust that cap in her weedcarrier’s gut? That is the type of shit that will put a label owner over the top. This quarter’s money boss dark horse is Common Sense. He has major motion pictures coming to theatres along with marketing and merchandising arrangements. Who knows, ‘Finding Forever’ might just go platinum too? Mo’ money, mo’ money.
The only thing about Common is that only two labels picked him so if Common goes on a point scoring spree 43 of the cMFL label owners will be left out. Common Sense might be the difference for whoever winds up prevailing in the cRap Music Fantasy League.
there is always next quarter
Unless I have some strong push by Nas, Alicia, and Ruff Ruff….I am staying Shoeless like Joe Jackson….
Dammit, how the hell do I get over the hump to first place? I really need Lupe to get it poppin. Why did I pick him over Puff? And why did I put Mary J over Alicia? Ugh. We’ll see what happens.
ya i needed Saigon to do something crazy like yesterday…
oh wait… he did. do i get any points for his drunk radio interview and subsequent retirement from rap/inevitable unretirement?
SH,
Yep, Saigon scored 100 points for his rap retirement rant.
Wait, do people who have JD on their roster lose points for his stupid ass blog post?? Please tell me they do. They ought to lose points for that shit.
Damn, I’m still barely in the Top5 cRap owners.
These pseudo-gay cats on my roster keep getting their albums pushed back: Nelly, Lil Wang. These push backs [||] are gonna keep me from winning the Quarter.
Speaking of pseudo-gays, why is Queen Latifah going double aluminum? I thought some middle-aged locales like Starbucks push Latifah’s brand of vocal jazz, & those type of cats still actually buy albums.
I do have my fellow MidWestSider Common Sense, but I doubt he can do enough to overcome all these push backs.
The beautiful Ms. Keys went gold the 1st week. Has this been accounted for?

EGC,
The scores posted are as of this past weekendm
Mrs. Keys is poised to do ‘Ye Tudda numbers to close out this quarter.
Her overall score will reflect her first week sales on the next update.
Yo U need to double check your count cuz’. . Dat shit can’t be right. How many points did U give for Jim Jones and all his nonesense wit’ dropping that free album? Shit, Madonna adopted a black kid from the motherland dawg. . Dats gotta be worth hella’ points yo. Mary shit is hot in the streets right now and she performed at the music awards. How bout ‘dat Eminem DVD ‘dat drop. And don’t forget 50. His whole crew coming with his very shortly. Last but not least Lil’ Wayne was in court, twice while being on every song that has come out this quarter. Where are the point my brotha’???
SGM,
Good idea. Next update will also include on on link for everyone who wants to download a spreadsheet for their own information.
You might also want to enter crap music fantasy league RULES in the DP Dot Com search bar so you can read the info. Then you will understand what is worth cMFL points and what isn’t.
