Following Freddie that night, Donnis presented another new joint to the rowdy mass. Sounds good to me. We patiently wait for Fashionably Late. Previously: Donnis Debuts “Tonight”

Be clear Freddie Gibbs had more shows in Austin than Jamaicans got jobs. Here he was Friday night at the Mohawk runnin’ solo through his Pill collab and later he goes shirtless (pause) and blacks out on his true gangsta tale. That boy good. Just ask Rolling Stone.
No matter how big or small the crowd is, Yela sure does deliver a high octane performance. Peep him getting his Method Man on at a Karmaloop shindig in Austin. Hey man, watch them ‘bows.
A short time after that classsic tweet, Mr. Giles decided social networking wasn’t his thing and his account lay dormant for over a year. Well apparently, Cam had a change of heart. Today, he resurfaced under Mr_Camron and he’s already sent several updates. Hey, Oh says it’s real than that’s a verificiation in my book. Follow the Killa.

I remember us critics thought the Killuminati CD was trash when it first came out. Boy, were we wrong.
At the Levi’s/Fader Fort finale this past Saturday, Ohio’s own pay homage to the three deceased legends that they all had the pleasure of workin’ with. You cocker spaniel dogs, can’t fuck with their catalogue.
Back at the Respect The West ranch, David Blake presents one of his most raunchy classic tunes and then his everlasting collabo with Bay Area band Tony Toni Tone. Hittin’ you from every angle.
The Cocoa Brovaz, I mean Steele and Tek run through an arsenal of heat from their deadly Dah Shinin’ debut. Hey, I’ve been to the Doghillee. How many of you snot-nosed young punks can say the same? Ha!
I showed you Mel D. Cole‘s astounding flicks now here’s some video of the two Memphis-bred OGs taking us way back with a coupla classics off 1993’s Comin’ Out Hard album. This was one of my favorite moments down in Austin. The kids don’t know.
Here’s an unauthorized leak from apparently Da Snowman’s TM103 recording sessions. The NMC reasons this is a reference demo to a rumored collabo with Beyonce. Yup, this could use some assistance. Splash
This is a great reminder of how powerful and lasting Lauryn Hill’s influence has been in music. The fact that The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill eventually reached diamond status after so many years shows that truly meaningful music can continue finding new listeners long after its original release. I also like how the article highlights the combination of hip hop, R&B, neo soul, and reggae that made the album so distinctive. Achieving more than 10 million sales is an incredible milestone, especially considering how much the music industry has changed since 1998. The album’s success feels less like a temporary trend and more like proof that strong songwriting and authentic artistic expression can remain relevant across generations. It is interesting to see how numbers can tell part of a story, whether we are looking at album sales or using a proportion calculator to understand relationships between different figures.
