Billie Joe & co. talk to the 1515 Boys about their appreciation for this thing of ours.

“Looking at a guy like Eminem,

the way he put his records out and how he goes from character to

character and how a lot of hip-hop artists use different names,

conceptually, I think that’s really important to put into records. I think that’s why a lot

of hip-hop records become so eventful. All of a sudden a character will

come up. A dialogue will come up. The ambition a lot of hip-hop records

have, that’s something I can relate to.”

According to early reports from Hits, Weezy, the expectant father, can sleep at night.

SALES REHAB: Based on very preliminary reports, it would appear that Eminem’s Relapse, which hit retail today, will sell somewhere in the mid-500k range, and easily top next week’s HITS Album sales chart. Can it hit 600k? If these early figures hold up, that would make it the year’s highest-selling debut of the year, giving Jimmy Iovine’s Interscope the top two bows of the year, including U2’s No Line on the Horizon, which entered at #1 with 480k back in March. (5/19p)

Sidebar: Speaking of sales. Joni Mitchell YN never lied. Killa did Jomo numbers. Full Top 50 chart here.

Cam’ron: 42,922

Top 200: #3

Rap: #1

R&B: #1

Ok all this Em footage is startin’ to confuse me. This wasn’t from the show I was just at. Guess he taped an extra performance during the Mike Tyson episode in Cali. And on Friday’s show, they’re gonna show footage from Detroit release party event.
