Here’s a clip from the upcoming documentary on the topic of much controversy lately. Watch the widow Liza Rios, various friends, associates, and Mobb Deep’s Prodigy discuss his issues with weight gain. Very sad.

At a recent AMW stop in VA, Da Snowman brought your favorite quarterback out of hibernation. Fuck being low-pro when there’s a rap show to go to! And his lil cousin’ rhymes too. Who knew?!

According to the Rap-Up, Drake reveals in the current issue of Rolling Stone his love for cookin’ up in the kitchen.
“I want to drop this album, then another, and then take a break to do film and study culinary arts.” Once he masters his skill, the aspiring chef plans to put it to good use. “Then I’m gonna open a restaurant in Toronto. Hopefully my name will hold more weight by then.”
Let’s just hope his album is a dish worth waiting for. *rimshot*

“Come on down, boyee!”
Did you know the leader of the Clan just happened to be in Cali on that suspenseful Saturday? After a rough Dusty Springfield-filled start, RZA settles down and performs a pair of Enter The Wu-Tang classics. Ah yeah, pardon me B.Dot, but we still love you Rakeem!

Damn, a lot of legends got busy yesterday. Slick Rick was the suprise guest at Rock The Bells and kicked two of the greatest rap songs ever created. I don’t think you young whippersnappers appreciated the Ruler’s presence enough. Detention, for all of youse!

After the ruckus, Rae runs through a couple of Wu classics. Wonder if something’s gonna pop up on IceWater TV later today or will Mouse go live on his blog tv channel? Inquiring rap fans want to know.

“The Lakers beat the SuperSonics.”
Speaking of legends, Ice Cube closed out LA’s raucous Rock The Bells show. No mon, not Nasir and Damien Marley. With the Westside Connection homie W.C. as hypeman, O’Shea laid down his monstrous mellow classic. Happy Sunday, everybody. Ha!
Note: It does get cut off at end. A nation of flip cam amateurs.

Contrary to popular belief, not every rapper was in Cali last night. The legendary Big Daddy Kane took it back to his hometown BK and tore down a free show. Even 50 Cent’s manager was impressed. Ain’t nothin’ like the old school.

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.
