Both weathering the storm, if Chris Brown’s music was good Rihanna’s was even better. While Chris pretty much avoided the hot topic on his CD, Ri-Ri went all the way there from the cover art to the cussin’ like a sailor to the creepy “Cold Case Love”. “Wait Your Turn” and “Russian Roulette” may have been too dark pop for plenty of people’s tastes but there’s no denying the Jeezy collabo “Hard,” which still sounds as good to me as […]

We were all geeked for the return of the Mixtape Weezy. So excited, that this project prematurely leaked. Then on Halloween, four new songs were quickly added. The Cool and Dre produed title track was one of them which contained one of my favorite chrouses, “Pop that pussy and shake your ass. No Ceilings!” Ha. Seriously, there’s a lot to enjoy here. Even hit-and-miss Minaj shines on B’s “Sweet Dreams”. Still Dwayne is large and the one in-charge as he […]

There’s not a doubt in my mind that if Breezy hadn’t socked Ri-Ri, “I Can Transform Ya” would’ve been one of the hugest records of the past year. I don’t care what you say, that Swizz Beatz stutter-step track knocks and it’s not the only good song to be found here. Ebro’s DJs at NY’s Hot 97 have made it abundantly clear that Chris’ sly Fenty-reference rocker “Famous Girl” should be the next single. I’ve yet to watch the video […]

For years, Gary, Indiana’s claim to fame came courtesy of Joseph & Katherine’s nine children. Now, The G has something to else to sing about with Freddie Gibbs and his mixtape Midwestgangstaboxframecadillacmuzik. Teaming with DJ Skee, Gangsta Gibbs keeps it greasy like a Church’s chicken 20 piece on “Malcolm In The Middle (Inhale)” and “I’m The Man”. He flirts with death on the murky “Murda On My Mind” and rides out with Pill on “Womb To The Team”. Pot heads […]
Originally conceived as a sequel to the spectacular Sincerely Yours, Southside, 50 adds his magic touch to some mo’ R&B classics. This time it’s ’90s bangers that get the takeover treatment. He makes it clear that “success is his addiction” on Gina Thompson’s “The Things That You Do”; counts his stacks over Horace Brown’s “One For The Money” and is lookin’ for a ride-or-die chick to the sounds of Intro’s “Funny How Time Flies”. But instead of sticking to the […]
Statik says the leak that’s floating around is the wrong mix. Do your ears a favor and check out the proper version below.
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.
