She’s sixteen! Big’s baby girl is growin’ up fast and she had a big bash in NYC last night to prove it. To celebrate her born day, she got some assistance from Mister Cee and had a special music guest that she handpicked to perform. Her favorite rapper? How ’bout a guy who just mastered his album. (No not, Hov.) Kid Cudi, y’all. Props: NY Daily News x Miss Info

“The song is pretty much about evolution and the progress. You start out as new artists and you make your way into the game. You climb that mountain, then you get to the top, and you put your flag down. That’s pretty much us puttin’ our flag down. This is Roc Nation. Pledge your allegiance. Like put your flag at the top of the mountain and say, ‘We run this town.'”
Here’s another lil’ peek of Hova and company’s upcoming Mad Max-lookin’ visual. Two teasers aren’t better than one, give us the video already. What’s up?!!

“He’s the newest member of the Cash Money team/ And he’s about to make that nigga Brian mad more CREAM.” Umm. Nah. Bow Wow broke the news on Twitter on Sunday that if you can’t beat Lil Wayne, you join him. That’s right rap fans, Bow Weezy and Weezy are now labelmates. In other news, Omarion, his singing buddy is only signed to Young Money. Take that, O! Bonus: Here’s exclusive footage of the deal goin’ down.

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.
