In Fashawn’s opinion, only select artists can get away with dropping successful albums with no prior promotion.

“I don’t know, it would really be a surprise,” Fashawn told SOHH when asked if he would release an overnight album. “If I ever did do something like that, I’d surprise myself. It would be a huge surprise; I don’t know how I feel about it. I think it’s a really cool idea. I like the spontaneity of it, I think it’s a pretty fly thing. I think you’ve got to be at a certain level in your career to do it. That’s the level I don’t think I am yet but when I get there, you might get a surprise, overnight album from Fash.” (SOHH)

Check out what 50 Cent said about Drake’s new mixtape/album on the next page…

Recently, G-Unit boss 50 Cent said Drake delivered nothing but quality with his new project.

“His mixtape reflects that,” 50 said last night about Drake being a fan. “But boy, that nigga was on point, wasn’t he? He came through there with his shit sharp. It was tight. … Look, I don’t have favorite artists, I have favorite moments from artists. Like, ‘Ooh, you ain’t gonna beat him at that, not that, that’s what he do,’ you know what I’m saying? All of us have those moments, I think, but not everybody can appreciate it.” (XXL Mag)

Falling behind alternative crew Imagine DragonsSmoke + Mirrors, which sold 195,000, Drake managed to secure nearly 190,000 copies in week two.

Last week’s No. 1, Drake’s surprise release If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, falls to No. 2 with 187,000 units (down 65 percent). It has sold 624,000 copies since its release (equating to a little more than 10 days on sale). Meanwhile, the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack also falls one rung to No. 3 in its second week on the chart, moving 165,000 units (down 36 percent). (Billboard)

Rap star Big Sean admitted he made sure to contribute to Drizzy’s sales total in a recent interview.

But he did go out and support his friend Drake’s mixtape If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late. “Yeah, of course. I bought it. I think it’s great. That’s the homie. I got nothin’ but love for them OVO boys. They my dogs right there.” (Rap-Up)
