First I flood the streets, then I flood the charts. First I had their ears, now I have their hearts. Lames came and went, I been here from the start. I've seen them put it together.watch them take it apart.

In "It's all good over here at Def Jam" news, my little cousin Ne-Yo makes a statement this week by coming in at #1 on the Billboard charts. Hey Jigga Man, tell 'em how many units Ne-Yo moved the first week.

Here's the Jigga Man to MTV on how many units Ne-Yo moved in the first week: A nice tre [three] piece.

That's 301,000 for you educated dummies. Hey Ne-Yo, you gotta be feeling some kind of way, give me one word to describe it.

Here's Ne-Yo to MTV on moving 301,000 units the first week: It is surreal. I feel like at any moment I'm going to wake up in the living room at my mom's house on the couch, with her telling me to get my ass up. 'It's one o'clock in the afternoon.' It's a dream, man.

I'm sure. Jigga Man jump back in here. Talk a little about producing Ne-Yo's album.

Here's the Jigga Man to MTV on executive producing Ne-Yo's album: I didn't have to put too much work into In My Own Words, even though I'm credited with executive producing the LP. It depends on different artists in terms of how Def Jam artists' albums come together. Kanye will present his whole album at one time. With Ne-Yo, him and [A&R rep] Ty-Ty would go in and present songs one by one. It's a bunch of songs at the end of the day. You know how new artists are, they want 21 songs on their first album. I took a couple of songs off the album and kept it short and sweet. [Ne-Yo] was good with it. That was that. As far as the creative process - the arranging, the songwriting - that's all [Ne-Yo] and the producers he worked with.

Oh really? Hey Ne-Yo, what's your favorite song on the album?

Here's Ne-Yo to MTV on his favorite song on the album: 'Mirror' is the freakier side of Ne-Yo. OK, my girl left. I'm in playa mode. 'OK, you wanna leave, fine. I'll call somebody else.' So I call up another chick and go to her house, and the song is basically expressing how I love making love in front of the mirror. It's one of those Jodeci-ish, freaky type of joints.

That's nice, but really, those kinds of comments should be left in the closet. And since you're putting stuff back in your closet.

Here's some pink jewelry being dropped by EbenGregory on Ne-Yo moving 301,000 units in the first week: If at first you don't succeed, find out if the loser gets anything.
