First we gotta start with the music —where’s the music? Then we have to get into what it would take to bring him over to G-Unit as a record company. You can’t sign a deal in a conversation — it’s a process. We’ll see what happens…I would listen […]

At his show last night in L.A., The Pied Piper payed homage to the King with a video montage and a new song in his honor. Bizarre but fitting nonetheless. What’s up. What’s up: Rap-Up
Here’s the crystal clear highlights from yesterday’s EMA‘s. Lots of B, lots of Hov, lots of Bono. Yup, sounds about right.
Curtis welcomes everyone to the New York screening of the movie that’s packaged with his new album, Before I Self Destruct. Can you believe Rap Radar was actually invited? Oh well. *Kanye shrug* Ha! Props: Pardon Me Duke
Straight From The A got the scoop and it looks like Mr. Raymond can now sing his new single in peace. He’s a free man. Word to the South Shore Commission. Peep the paperwork below.
Both AHH and SOHH are reporting that Earl Simmons has come to his senses and his upcoming MMA fight is a wrap. Thank God, someone did. We didn’t need a repeat of this debacle.
“I should sick my muthafuckin’ dog on you.” Curtis is back at it again with a new visual for BISD. It’s another one that reflects the harsh realities of street life. Parental guidance is still suggested. ThisIs50
Before accepting his Best Urban Artist award at the EMA’s, Hov joined Bono for a performance of “Sunday Bloody Sunday”. The concert marked the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. See, it’s not about East or West. Props: Rap-Up

Accepting an award for “Single Ladies” at the EMA’s, Beyoncé thanked her hubby for lacing her ring finger. Eff Love? We off that!
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.
