Atmosphere Make[s] History with ‘Lemons’

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

When I praised Atmosphere’s When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Sh*t Gold as the year’s best rap album, hardly did I expect anyone to agree with me. I was simply following my conviction. If anything, I expected chants of “Emo! Emo!!” or something to that effect. Turns out 35,000 others echoed my sentiments.

According to Billboard, Lemons has set a new first-week sales record for Rhymesayers Entertainment.

Hip-hop artist Atmosphere easily scores his best sales and chart week ever as “When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Sh*t Gold” (Rhymesayers) starts at No. 5 with 36,000. His previous charting high-water mark came from 2005’s “You Can’t Imagine How Much Fun We’re Having,” which peaked at No. 66. “When Life…” also becomes the highest-charting album for the Rhymesayers label; the previous best was, again, Atmosphere’s stop at No. 66.

Yeah, you read that right. Billboard just addressed Atmosphere as an individual. Funny stuff.

Remember this from one of those Paint It Gold episodes? Though Ant’s production is the real star here, give Slug some credit as well for finding a way to improve on his already outstanding flow.
