Truthfully: YN’s personal favorite album of all-time is Wu-Tang Forever. These clips are chaotic. These clips are anarchic. These clips are genius. 5 Wu bangers included. Bless the person who put this up on YouTube.

That’s it. Like Paul told Em, “I’m done.” This kid is banned from Rap Radar until further notice. I don’t care what Jimmy told you, I’m tellin’ you, you’re fuckin’ up. Wasted talent.
Tried to put this up earlier, but video player was actin’ up. Shout-out to Jerry Barrow. As SOHH reported, the chain on the bike ain’t feelin’ Jimmy Iovine’s residence.
Sidebar: Forbez also snatched Drake‘s first street DVD interview.
Real Talk: This guy being at the Drake show the other day caused more of a stir than you favorite rapper. Lyor Cohen is the Don Dada of music industry ball busters. Fuck a Pause. And fuck your camera. Historically: This guy is known for flippin’ the bird. Word.
With all the talk of Hov joining the wife at Sony, NY Daily News reports a reunion is in the works. Is a Hov homecoming with his old Def Jam crew on the horizon? Can you say Carter Music Group?
“Jay-Z may be a free agent for now, but he’s in talks to cut a deal with WMG/Atlantic that could make him one of the richest and most powerful men in music.
A well-placed industry source tells us that Jay – who recently left Def Jam as a recording artist (he served as its president from 2004-2007) – has been taking top-secret meetings with his old pals and former managers Lyor Cohen and Kevin Liles. Topics of the hush-hush conversations have included giving Jay his own record label at WMG, tentatively to be called the Carter Music Group.
‘Jay knows Lyor and Kevin from back when they all worked together at Def Jam, and he obviously wants to work something out with his friends,’ says our insider. ‘He wants to get the dream team back together. There have been a few whiffs of a reunion in the past, but only now – and very privately – is something finally starting to happen.’
Our source adds, ‘This is big in hip hop. These are three of the most powerful men in music, who might be working together, and there’s no question the success they’ll have as a team will be huge.’ WMG Vice President Cohen and Executive Vice President Liles also attempted to convince Jay to bring his Roc Nation label – which is part of the reported $150 million deal he cut with Live Nation – to WMG. Jay, however, has chosen to release his much-anticipated 15th album, The Blueprint 3, with Live Nation in the fall.
‘Jay’s deal with Live Nation is massive,’ says another music-biz insider. ‘But if he were to cut a deal with WMG/Atlantic, he’d make even more headlines. Jay-Z, Lyor Cohen and Kevin Liles are all brand names. They’re the industry’s heavy hitters, and the combination would bring them a lot of attention. They would be unstoppable. Jay himself is the most successful rapper-turned-businessman out there.’
Jay-Z (real name Shawn Carter) is a force to be reckoned with on his own. He reportedly bought himself out of his contractual obligations with Def Jam/Universal for a cool $5 million.
A rep at WMG would not comment; Jay-Z’s team didn’t return calls.”
That loud boom was the sound of Dame Dash’s head exploding.
If this really is the pitbull in a skirt’s Twitter, than Evey-Eve really isn’t feeling Chris Brown’s recent vlog. At least somebody got some sense.

The pre-game Internet hype on this is gonna be unbearable. With my homie Mike Heron in the mix I have hope that the final product lives up to the anticipation. I can’t recall one tune from Padded Room. No shots.
I put you up on this series about a week ago but I forgot it’s a daily operation. Duh. Peep what you might be missing.

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.
