Jay-Z followed, selling 144,000 copies of his "MTV Unplugged" album. Ruff Ryders rode into the No. 38 spot with "Ryde or Die Vol. III: In the 'R' We Trust" on 131,000 units. Compilation disc "The Source Presents Hip Hop Hits - Volume 5" landed at No. 70 with 73,000, while Master P. was relegated to No. 72 on sales of 71,000 copies despite putting on his "Game Face."
