Back in 2006, Busta was at the top of his game with The Big Bang. Three years—and a few delays later, Mr. Smith sought to win listeners again on his eighth LP. But things seemed doomed from out the gate as Busta switched labels and got off to a rocky start with the controversial lead-off “Arab Money”. Things didn’t fair better on the following singles “Hustler’s Anthem ‘09” and the Estelle-assisted “World Go Round”. Album tracks like “We Want In”, […]

Back in ego trip’s Book of Rap Lists, we wrote about how underappreciated the Kingz from Texas were. Now 10 years later, I’m still waving the flag for one of the finest groups the Dirty South has ever produced. Their final album dropped last March and fits rather nicely in their terrific catalogue. After Pimp’s passing, Bun put together these final recordings and did justice to their legacy. The twangy thump of “Da Game Been Good To Me,” the strip […]

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.

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.
