No record deal. No clothing line. No problem. You can’t keep Eve off a red carpet nowadays as she pushes her token black role in Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut. Peep the trailer below— which is as close as I’m gonna get to watchin’ this flick. Roller derby, ma? Never that! Previously: Eve Speaks On Ruff Ryders Reunion
I’m not quite through. Got another funky Ghostface break for you. Hit it! Previously: Poetry Breaks: Sequence Fail
A lil classic material for your morning. Here’s the brothers from Long Island on their European tour grind performing one of my favorite tunes from their second classic album, De La Soul Is Dead. Clever use of the JB‘s original in the mix, but I don’t co-sign the corny car bit at the end. Ha! Full show at Grand Crew.
This album dropped nearly a year ago, but Kamaal won’t stop because he can’t stop. Deluxe Edition, anyone? YouTube? Holla at the Double R. Ha!
Cover your ears! I’m sorry, but this had to be documented. I hope you had your breakfast first. Spotted: Hattie C
Please don’t give Lil Mama the location. Sidebar: Kanye West is bossy.
In the above magazine’s cover story, Puff comes clean on his past sexual conquests. Mama, he’s a changed man. “I guess the things that used to thrill me don’t thrill me so much anymore. Intimacy is more important to me than sleeping with hot chicks. I don’t even know if I really savored every menage a trois I had. I don’t want to do it all over again. Love is something I strongly connect with, but it’s not something I’ve […]

Ho hum!) as The Teacha pays tribute to DMX. “In the 90s, hip-hop was gettin’ soft and y’all know what I’m talkin’ ’bout… A dog came out!” Woof-woof.

I heard these two joints that one morning when I was guest co-hosting The Morning After With Angela Yee. I think we posted at least one of these but since we switched to WordPress, I can’t find it. Oh well. Anyway, Leslie’s upcoming mixtape, The Beat Made Me Do It is a problem. I guaran-damn-tee it! Props: NR, yeah I said it, NR.
For his own Shade 45 channel’s five-year anniversary, Marshall Mathers has agreed to do a couple of sitdowns. On Sat Oct. 3 at 3 pm EST, he talks about DJ Hero (Oct. 27), his New Orleans concert (Oct. 30), and his new album with DJ Whoo Kid. On Tues Oct 6 at 9pm EST, he’ll touch on the same topics with DJ Tony Touch. Hopefully “Jason From Miami” doesn’t call in. Heads up: Don’t Hate Be Hated via Hip Hop […]

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.
