Look at this DJ Vlad guy gettin’ his journalism on. Apparently my homie got the scoop on the latest casualty of Andre Young Records. I always thought that Mr. Lamont was a lil too feisty to stay in the Doc’s good graces. Although still unconfirmed, it looks like this rumor got legs. E1 Music, here we come!
Update: A buzzed Bishop throws Vlad under the bus. Says he’s still signed. Only need to watch first 3 mins.
Props: Shawn David and Pcire in our comments. Peace!

OK: LowKey broke it. Dre found the photos. OnSmash had a making of the video. Now, Worldstarhiphop has the world premiere. Here’s Crack’s next single featuring Who? Don’t know about this one Joey. Guess I need to travel down South a lil’ more. Smh.
Sidebar: I gotta find my Twitter notes from Joe’s listening and remember what my single picks were.

Aboard the Starship Enterprise, Em speaks on Dre’s production on Relapse. Sorry Wayne, but Marshall’s the real martian.

LOL. Just havin’ a lil fun. No real shots. It’s a rainy day and you got sonned. 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.
