This looks and feels right. The homie Maurice Garland kicked it with Cee-Lo and his reunited buddies to hype up the big show which goes down this Saturday. Here’s a pull quote for that ass: “Cee-Lo has always been the leader,” Gipp acknowledges. “But this time it will be more recognized that he is the leader because of the things that he’s done. We were the big brothers at first because he was the youngest. When we didn’t know [it], […]

Listening to my Hot 9-7 and Envy just let a lil’ something go. Dexter and William? An odd pairing, but I think it works. Sounds like G.O.O.D. music to me. Whatchu think? Update: Now with CDQ Props:Splash Sidebar: Why is the Officer and his pals dissin’ Pretty Boy Floyd? And why doesn’t anyone give a fuck?
Ms. Cook popped up on TODAY and got hit with the Lil Mama questions. At first, she danced: “I rather not speak about it ’cause the performance was so phenomenal that it really doesn’t matter about anything else.” Kathie Lee & The Other Broad: “But we love, Lil Mama.” Keys: “That’s nice!” Fast forward: She finally addressed it. “We can appreciate her being overwhelmed and inspired but we would’ve preferred she did it from her seat.” Ouch! Instead, she’d rather […]
Her album’s coming in 2010 too. (Sure!) She also cuts her hair once a week to maintain the new look. Yup, it’s a slow news day. Do something, Kanye! Props: Rap-Up
So yesterday, Fuck Boy Brown was feelin’ a lil’ lonely so he tweeted this: The link was to this video: Then Maurice got even more sappy: Then when the folks online reminded him that maybe he shouldn’t have beat Ri-Ri’s ass if he wanted to be with her, Brown removed those two tweets and put this up: Ha! Can’t stand the heat then stay off Twitter. “Too bad you fucked up dummy.” © Tony Starks Props: The other Radar
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Who can keep track of all these unreleased Death Row tracks? No not I. But this knocks and is off the upcoming album, The Lost Sessions Vol. 1 due Oct 13th. I might cop the actual CD even though the artwork below is so awful. Is this Suge’s fault? Who’s in charge now? Props: K. Nottingham
Before heading out West for a month and after a long day of morning show promo, Diddy spent the night with the DJ’s playing his new unfinished tunes. He now says the train is on a 2010 schedule and they’ll be a video for every song on the album. Got it? Ok. Choo choo!
OK, so all day rumors were spreading that Nas and Kelis were back together ’cause both were seen at New York’s Marquee club celebrating God’s Son born day last night. I was waiting to get some visual proof, so I held off on posting about it. Well, leave it up to the OG Russell Rush to come through with the goods. He caught the two today at a charity event, where a new sweepstakes casino and a Brooklyn streetwear label […]
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.
