Although Joe is complaining to AllHipHop in the above clip that mp3 downloading is hurting his pockets and lowering record sales, his new album, Ain't Nothing Like Me, managed to debut at number 2 (nobody's knocking over Avril Lavigne, apparently). Bringing some new (soulful) blood to the Billboard Top 10, Joe's only bedfellow is Akon, who wild horses couldn't drag off the top of the charts, no matter how annoying he is. And still, the hip hop backlash continues from last week. Could it be the March of Decency?
