I’m so sad. Still trying not to cry. But it’s hard. Fuck it, I’m cryin’. Never can say goodbye.

Asylum bumped his album up to Sept and Radric tells the 1515 Boys he ain’t go not title for it yet.
“It’s hard for me to come up with a great title,” he said of his LP. “ It’s so much going on right now. I gotta think of a good name. I thought it was coming out a little later than that, so I gotta get on my game. I’m going into the studio next week and make my whole album.”
Sidebar: Wait a minute, Snoop’s callin’ his album, Malice In Wonderland? Ha! FAIL.

Ok, I hate postin’ joints with tags but the opportunity to do three straight Miss Keri related posts was too tempting to resist. As John Brown would say, She’s a stunner.

Another day, another leak from The King. Seriously, this guy gets incarcerated and his catalogue becomes public domain. Yeah this joint does take from Irv Gotti’s songbird and one of your favorite producers isn’t pleased.

I’m too old to be a Slaugterhouse Stan, so I didn’t notice dude spit an old verse on Green Lantern the other night. Ugh. Clever to try to redeem yourself here. But no go here at the Double R. I apologize for my ignorance. Slaughterhouse freestyle review revisited: Budden > Crooked > Ortiz > 5’9″. Case closed.

Mo’ video games, huh? Hey, YN hates snippets but we needed to acknowledge J. Taylor (no Kool and The Gang) who got this year’s title track. And it don’t sound half bad. I shit you not, Mr. G U-Not. Ha!

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.
