Rihanna, Em, Nicki Top Brand New Billboard Social Networking Chart
(AllHipHop News) Rapper Eminem, Nicki Minaj and Rihanna have all landed at the top of the Social 50, a brand new chart being introduced by Billboard in its print and online editions, ranking the most popular artists on several prominent social networks. The new Social 50 uses a formula that blends the artists’ popularity based on their weekly addition of friends, fans and followers, based on song plays through MySpace.com, YouTube.com, Twitter.com and iLike.com. According to Billboard, the data is collected by Next Big Sound, a company that tracks music being shared on the social networks. The chart also uses a “unique metric that measures the ration of page views-to-fans/friend on YouTube.com and MySpace.com. “The Social 50 provides a weekly snapshot of the artists with whom music fans engage with the most in the social arena, which in today’s world is a significant validation of their investment in an act,” said Billboard director of charts Silvio Pietroluongo. “The chart is a logical complement to Billboard’s other popularity rankings.”Rihanna toped the chart by leading in new friends, fans and followers for the week, while Justin Bieber landed at #2, Eminem is sitting at #3, #4 is Lady Gaga and newcomer Nicki Minaj landed out the list at #5. “The volume of online activity that top artists now receive is too big to ignore,” added Next Big Sound CEO, Alex White. “We are thrilled that social music activity now receives the same emphasis as the music charts for which Billboard is synonymous.”

SUP WITH JUST BLAZE AND JAY ELECTRONICA?
I know the AHH staff doesnt want me to screw this up so I am going to reserve and views and opinions. Ive done some things in the past that Just Blaze personally hit me up about so Ill just offer up this video of him talking about Jay Electronica. Something is up though!
Click here for the full interview.
THE D.O.C. BACK?
I posted something about the Doc a ways back, but there is an update. Before Dr. Dre got Snoop, there was The D.O.C. The Doc was really dope. Some people know him as one of Erykah Badus baby fathers, but hes more than that. Dude had a classic album under Ruthless Records, but he got into an accident that messed up his throat, making it impossible for him to continue with his rap career. Luckily, hes a talented ghostwriter and Dr. Dre has needed him a lot. I am hearing that Doc went and got surgery on his throat to correct the damage so he can talk regularly. After the accident, his voice became very scratchy. You heard him on albums like The Chronic and may not even noticed. Hes reportedly going to get about 870% of his voice back and record a final album. Hopefully there is some truth to this one.

BADU SETS IT STRAIGHT!
I have to admit, I thought she was with chlld after seeing her on the Soul Train Awards.
PRAY FOR NATE DOGG
I dont often get religious on the rumors, but I definitely hope people send a prayer upstairs for Nate Dogg. Im wishing that he have some good breaks in the near future, because the rumors I am hearing are lousy. Im definitely I hearing bad things. Obviously he is alive, because wed definitely know it if was otherwise. But dude had a pair of strokes in a years period. Maybe Montell Jordan, MC Hammer and Mase can get him some preferential treatment on the Hip-Hop side? Just a thought.
OK I NEED AN EXPLANATION!
I know times are tough and people are going to do what they have to do. I was browing theYBF.com and she said this may be somebody that my Kelly is involved with in some unscrupulous manner.
MONSTER VIDEO COMING
Nicki, Ross, Ye and Jay are going to be making a video for Monster. I have high hopes for for this video.
SIGNS THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END
Bu now, you have probably heard about the controversy with 4 Loko, the alcoholic energy drink thats driving people mad. They banned people in NY from even selling it, its that bad. Well, if you were sad over that, there is an alternative that you might get past your boss. A new company has created something called Adult Chocolate Milk. The damn mess is 40-proof so it packs a punch! There are a lot of ideas and this is one of the worst ones. Nevertheless, this is available Cali, Arizona and Minnesota.
JANET TALKS ABOUT PAC!
“I remember when he said he was going back to L.A. to get a tattoo. And I said, ‘Why are you going to L.A. We’re not supposed to leave, we have a shoot tomorrow.’ He looked at me and said, ‘Square!’ When he came back he showed me the tattoo he got on his stomach. He was sweet. Granted, there was another side, but he wouldn’t snap or go crazy out of nowhere. There had to be something that triggered that. I miss him.”
ILLSEEDS QUICKIES
Wesley Snipes is going to jail next week in PA. Dude and his family are fighting like hell to keep him in free world.
Rihannas man Matt Kemp has been recently seen with an unknown female, but the rumors have already started. They are saying hes cheating.
BAD A$$ BADU, WE LOVE YOU!! They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry!

Well that was fast. The Game has gone back to his regular antics with G-Unit. He had some words for Lloyd Banks and the sales of Hunger For More 2.
I’m sure Banks will have some words for Game when his next album drops. This ain’t a game out here with the sales.
GAME AND BANKS, WE LOVE YOU!! They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry!
