Loso gave MTV a sneak peak and Dram did the same for me during my stay in the A. Needless to say, I had to put the flip cam down for most of it. No I don’t know when the shit’s comin’ out. Don’t call my phone! Wait who’s on the line? Update: Mr. Thanksgiving sets a new date.
[vodpod id=Video.3155324&w=425&h=350&fv=] B.o.B. doesn’t make an appearance in this video, but his presence is felt. Doubt this makes The Adventures Of Bobby Ray. This appeared on his mixtape, Hi My Name Is B.o.B. nearly two years ago.
On the eve of the big show at MSG, Jay-Z’s longtime super engineer Young Guru stopped by the RR Mansion yesterday. In the first clip, the birthday boy speaks on the blueprint behind Hov’s current stage show. He’s currently playin’ his new position as Jay’s tour DJ. Pay attention!

Luda continued his promo run for Battle of The Sexes last night on Late Night With David Letterman with a performance of his platinum single, “How Low”. Twerk Team sure knows how to, um, twerk.
Last January, DMX said he was going to become a pastor after his release from prison. Well this Saturday, he plans to address the congregation. Not as a preacher, but during his performance at The Morning Star Church’s Gospel Rap Extravaganza. The concert will be held at a local high school in Glendale, Arizona as part of a fundraiser. Although tickets are $35 a pop, TMZ says X is performing for free and will refrain from using profanity during his set. […]
In the final clip of my interview at the Aphilliates offices, Dram passes the rock to his team including the homie La The Darkman and Willie The Kid. Through the raid, through the fire, the crew just got stronger. Did somebody say Gatorade money? Ha. We also reminisce on Dram’s days bloggin’ for me at XXL. Previously: YN vs. DJ Drama (Pt.2)
Anyone’s who’s ever been to a Jay show knows the man just has too many records. Right, Bleek? To please the masses as much as he can, Shawn runs through past and present hits with precision in these two clips. And remember if you don’t know the old stuff, it’s your fault, not his. 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.
