Myth Or Reality: Hip Hop Producer Nottz Remixes Susan Boyle?

via Hampton Roads & Vlad TV

No, seriously.

Nottz, the somewhat reclusive Norfolk-based producer who's done tracks for everyone from Dr. Dre, Kanye, Biggie and many more, has remixed Susan Boyle's "I Dream a Dream" and posted it on YouTube.

Now, us being only marginally interested in Boyle -- we don't really see why it's considered a big deal that a fugly lady can sing (have you never been to church?) -- we've always been kind of 'meh' about her and this song. But we must say, Nottz's sparse, snare and kick drum beat laid over the orchestral song make it sound pretty good. Really good, actually.

The only question is, why?

Perhaps Nottz was trying to send the message that he's so talented, he can take veritably any material and make it sound good.

Or maybe he was crunk off that egg nog and smoking on some mistletoe.

Child, I guess.

Susan Boyle Steals Rihanna's 'Rated R' Thunder *update*

Final Nielsen/Soundscan taley...
Susan Boyle 701K
Rihanna 181K
Lady Gaga 174K

According to the Hits Daily Double, Susan Boyle's debut 'I Dreamed a Dream' is projected to sell 670K first week of release. Also breaking the record for the most sold in first week 2009 sales, Eminem's May release of 'Relapse' which came in at 608K. Rihanna will still pull in a respective number of 180K with plenty of promotion going on prior and during the first week of release, but not enough steam to beat out Boyle's hefty sales.

With Chris Brown's 'Graffiti' coming December 8, this will get interesting as to who will pull in the bigger numbers first week Chris or Rihanna.

On Susan Boyle, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and the other November 23 releases, the Nielsen/Soundscan (the industry standard) numbers will be published tomorrow Wednesday, December 2, as Susan will win the chart race by a landslide.
