Where’s Cam’ron > Where’s The Beef. The hype behind Mr. Giles return to the rap game was crazy. We were starving for the Diplomats founder to feed the streets and the Internets too. I remember seeing him live at the Highline Ballroom and for the first half of the show as he ran through his past arsenal it was Gilesmania. But when he dropped the new material, not so much. No disrespect to in-house producer Skitzo, but next time, Cam […]

Ghostface Killah’s Wizard Of Poetry In Emerald City should’ve came with a mattress for the way it was slept on. Where was the support?! From top to bottom, the LP had something from everyone.

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.
