• Future's 'Dirty Sprite 2' Leads Billboard 200; Alan Jackson and Jason Isbell Rep

    Future found the secret to moving more albums with his 'Dirty Sprite 2': Don't give people time to think about it. The album topped the Billboard 200 with more than 147,000 equivalent copies sold, just two weeks after the album was announced. It's been a little more than a year since he released Honest, and he more than doubled the sales of that effort.

  • Albums Sequels That Worked: Led Zeppelin, Lil Wayne, Future and More

    The average blockbuster is hardly an original concept...everybody knows that the big money lies in sequels, such as the newly announced follow-up to Jurassic World, or the seventh installment of the Fast & Furious series. Granted, most of the time these films rarely end up being better than the original franchise. Although Furious 7 bucks the trend (the films actually got progressively better thanks to more and more absurd stunts and car chases), many questioned the need for the reintroduction to the Jurassic Park universe, especially after the last two sequels fell flat with critics (then again...all three of the follow-ups to the classic original have been box office smashes...so we're all to blame). Albums often work the same way, but occasionally the later chapters outshine the originals, or at least match them. Here are six albums that were better than the preceding ones with similar titles.

  • Future to Ex-Fiancee Ciara: Keep Russell Wilson Away from Our Son

    Hours before the release of DS2 (Dirty Sprite 2), Future stopped by The Breakfast Club to hype up the new album and speak on a few hot topics, including his ex and baby mama Ciara and her new all-pro quarterback boy toy Russell Wilson. The exes have traded shots over the past few days, and though Future insists there's no bad blood, he had one more message for his former fiancée: Don't bring another man around my son, Future Jr.
