While Tip was on a conference call with the game’s top DJs, the good folks at the NMC got their grubby fingers on his new single before the 5 pm launch. We missed you, Mr. Harris! Splash UPDATE: MC’s Be Warned: Y’all got five months to get your thing together.
Say word Reggie Noble got a Twitter and the balls to go in over the bridge of the Jacksons’ “Heartbreak Hotel”. Dedicated to the King Of Pop, of course.
Trigga Tha Singer strikes again. Damn, he goes in on these tracks better than most rappers. And while he’s out on tour, keep your hand on your girl. Ha. UHTN
“Evil lurks even in Guru’s life still. And that shit will cease eventually…” Last night on his HeadQCourterz radio show, Preemo spoke on his Gang Starr partner for the first time. Listen. DJ Premier Blog (Which is a fansite run by a guy named Gimantalon from Belgium)
Just like her “Empire” partner, the future Mrs. Dean got to kick it at O’s house yesterday. Sneak peeks at upcoming vid with B included and performance on the other side.

O’Shea can you see? Mr. Jackson has a new Kanye-esque announcement on his blog, which includes the declaration of I Am The West‘s lead joint. Read the West rest here. Heads Up: Nav

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.
