Earlier last month, it was reported that Raekwon, Method Man, and Ghostface were seeking a name for their outfit. But this past Tuesday, it was revealed that the crew had a change of heart. “We not a group,” Ghost tells Rap Radar. “We already in Wu-Tang. So it’s not like we trying to start a group.

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.
