VIBE continues to share the gang of footage they captured in Miami this past weekend. Here’s Mr. Raymond rockin’ one of his pre-Confessions hits. Yup, he actually had some of those. Pardon the flashing lights.
[vodpod id=Video.3018255&w=425&h=350&fv=] It was all good a week ago when Sirius XM asked me to interview Pinero and the Evil Genius for their Backstage Pass program. Basically, it was gathering to celebrate the release of The Green Ghost Project and talk about this thing of ours, hip-hop culture. Just Blaze was the special guest DJ and here are few highlights from the show. You’re welcome! That’s Hip Hop Previously: Just Blaze Comes To Harlem?
Salute to the Saints but still no mixtape? SMH.
Who Dat? The New Orleans Saints, that’s who. And the impossible happened. The franchise that was once the laughing stock of the league beat Peyton Manning and the mighty Indy Colts 31-17. The game crashed Twitter several times but we still managed to grab some of the rap community’s thoughts throughout the epic battle. Great game. Great Super Bowl.
As promised, Hov kicked off today’s big game with a lil mash-up version of “Run This Town”. Game Time!
Look who got a Super Bowl ticket? F Our Lives! JM From YM UPDATE: Tyga too! *Slits wrist* UPDATE: And Wale. Clap for ’em!
Not sure where this is from, but here’s Puff biggin’ up Miami and gettin’ you hyped for some pigskin action.
Cameo nightclub in Miami was poppin’ last night and look who was havin’ a good ole time with his new girl. The question remains: Who’s Chris Bridges’ real-life bad chick? I wanna know. YBF Previously: Who’s Ludacris’ New Ladyfriend?
[vodpod id=Video.3007618&w=425&h=350&fv=] N.O. woke up early this morning to pay his respects to Christopher Rios. Damn, ten years goes by fast.
In honor of the 10 year anniversary of Big Punisher’s passing, here’s the first release from the upcoming mixtape that will now be available on V-Day. I believe the opening verse is unreleased. This shit goes hard! Produced by Grind Music’s Sean C and LV. Props to my homie DJ Soul.

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.
