Hov and the other BK hit the stage again. You’ve pretty much seen this all before except for the relentless cutaway shots of Mrs. Carter. Check her at the 1:55 mark mouthin’ “I’m payin’ Dwayne Wade”. Ha. UHTN

Teddy Bear was laid to rest today in Philly and Black Ty did more than just pay his respects. Hey, I didn’t know Tyrese was playing Pendergrass in an upcoming biopic either. Interesting. Natasha

Remember Tha Carter II? Not to be confused with the second part of this, here’s an unreleased visual shot by Jordan Tower of the same song. The black-and-white Sunshine State scenery is cool but most interesting is the shot of Wayne holdin’ a copy of 50 Cent’s book at the 3:24 mark and then laughin’ into the camera. Hmm. So watcha sayin’ Weezy? Omen Via WSHH

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.
