Ms. Minaj hasn’t responded to any of Lil Kim’s antics since her interview with Angie Martinez but apparently the Queen Bee’s PayPal declaration finally hit her radar. Peep the bitch who sold a million off a mixtape’s Twitter responses below. The war’s still on.
Finally released, Saigon’s Greatest Story Never Told hit #1 today. Now let’s keep it there. Ha! Bonus: “Turtle” Says Buy The Album!
In rememberance of the 12th year of his passing, Big L was paid tribute today by Hot 97’s Mister Cee. Like The Finisher said, you kids better do your research if you don’t know how dope dude was. Harlem in the house. Put your L’s up! Link Previously: Guru Tribute
Don’t act like I never told you. YN? Rozay? It had to happen. This excellent issue drops March 1. I’m back like I left something. I love this rap game. Happy V-Day. RESPECT. The Architect. Ha!

[vodpod id=Video.5527328&w=425&h=350&fv=%26rel%3D0%26border%3D0%26] My wife, Danyel Smith chops it up with four of Atlantic Records’ most promising acts for the label’s new web series.
Apparently, all the powermove business talk Rozay teased me with in Miami rings true. Besides the impending signings of Wale (I heard the deal went through yesterday, but now I can’t get anyone to confirm) and Meek Mill to his imprint, he’s being courted by the music industry’s bosses for MMG. Inside sources have told me the players include: Jay-Z’s Roc Nation/Sony; Birdman’s CMB; Lyor Cohen and the good folks at Warner; and Diddy and Iovine at Interscope. Wait, no […]

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.
