This is DJ Special Blend from Chicago. What’s up America and the World! Looks like Nike has made the appropriate adjustments to their puppet commercials now that Lebron James is out of the NBA playoffs. Sorry Cleveland fans, but they should have that dude sitting on a thrown that says “Looser-Asshole” since he still hasn’t congratulated Superman and the Orlando Magic on their conference championship. Can’t understand why everyone is tip toeing around that. Meanwhile, we are about to see if Lil Wayne can hold on to the number one spot for the second week in a row. Maybe it’s time for a new number one joint… huh? We will soon see exactly what the deal is as we start it off a little something like this…

Number 10

My boy Fabolous is back in the top ten with his latest release “Throw It In The Bag.” First week in the top ten for this jam, and Fabolous wants us all to know that he ain’t rappin’ bout stealing… he’s rappin’ bout shopping. Thanks Fabolous.  I would have never figured that out.

Number 9

This joint goes out to the entire high school Senior class of 2009. I had the honor of spinning at a prom last week, and this was the number one requested joint. Got it into the top ten last week, and it moves up one more place this week to number nine.  “Rick Bobby” by B-Hamp.

Number 8

Method Man and Redman are back in the top ten with “A-Yo.” First week on the countdown for this one as well. These two cats have chemistry like Sidney Poitier and Bill Cosby. Like Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. Like Mudd and Jeff. Glad they did another project, and they should keep doing projects together.

Number 7

Lil Kim moves up two places this week with “Download” featuring Charlie Wilson. She must’ve stayed up many late nights to come up with this concept (sarcasm). I’ve actually heard dozens of unsigned artist make little parody songs that use this metaphor. Ya know… love and the internet? But lil Kim has the record deal, and she has two weeks in the top ten so far.

Number 6

Number six this time around belongs to the Fast Life Youngstas. “Swag Surfin’” is enjoying it’s third week in the top ten, and this has started to grow on me. The video kinda cute in a ghetto/hood type of way, and it’s always fun to see the kids do their dances.

Number 5

Gotta love number five this week. Laura Izibor is an Irish R&B singer that I think I may wanna have sex with. How old she she anyway? 20? Yea, that’s old enough This is her fourth week in the top ten with her current joint “From My Heart To Yours.” This my friend, is a good-ass song. Nuff said.

Number 4

Hurricane Chris holds steady at number four this week with “Halle Berry (Se’s Fine).” Caught a link off Twitter the other day with Miss Berry doing the dance named after her on Ellen. Hit me up to sign the petition to get Ellen to stop dancing on TV ;). Five weeks in the top ten for hood celebrity Hurricane Chris.

Number 3

The three spot goes out to a former number one song. In fact, “On The Ocean” by K’Jon spent three weeks at number one. It fell to number two last week, and lands at number three this time around. Who is K’Jon anyway?

Number 2

This little jam is my shit! “Epiphany” has been in the top ten for seven weeks, and this goes on my list of slow songs that you can actually break dance to. For real though… I love it and there is no other way to describe these types of songs. The artist is Chrisette Michele (did I spell that right?), and she has made a name for herself with this one.

Songs that bounced outta there this week:

• “Blame It” by Jamie Foxx featuing T-Pain fell outta the top ten after an amazing 15 week run.  That ties it for the longest stay this year. It also spent two weeks at number one.
• “Magnificent” by Rick Ross fell out after an eight week run. Made it as high as number two.

remembering koko taylor. rest in peace

And now…

Number 1

Second week in a row for Lil Wayne in the number one spot. It’s been this dude’s 15 minutes of fame for like the last couple of hours for cryin’ out loud. He has a CD out that is doing well, and he’s about to put out another. I thought Michael Jackson should done that exact thing to follow up Thriller, but that’s neither here nor there right now. “Every Girl” is number one for the second week in a row. All congrats due…

Add to favorites and listen in!
