ESPN reports that NBA commissioner David Stern has suspended Gilbert Arenas indefinitely after bringing a gun into the Washington Wizards locker room. For every game missed, Agent Zero loses $147,208. Here’s what the former All Star said in statement: “As I have said before, I had kept the four unloaded handguns in my house in Virginia but then moved them over to my locker at the Verizon Center to keep them away from my young kids. I brought them without […]

Before the Birdman swooped in and saved him with a CM contract, Shad spent last spring reuniting with JD and droppin’ another brick. Why was Bow Wow sixth album such a flop? Well besides the TLC “Baby-Baby-Baby” bounce of the strong lead single “You Can Get It All” there’s nothing here memorable or bumpable. A record with Ron Browz and Nelly (“What They Call Me (Big Time)”, more Auto-Tune with T-Pain (“She’s My”) and do we really wanna hear about […]

The day the earth stood still was on June 5, 2009. Before the stroke of midnight, millions were tuned in to hear Mr. Cee and Funkmaster Flex premiere Jay-Z’s “D.O.A.” on NY’s Hot 97. From Portland, Oregon to Portland, Maine, fans rejoiced after hearing Hov’s deathblow on top of NO I.D.’s schizophrenic track. Sssh, moment of silence.

Although Rick Ross managed to produce one of last year’s better albums, not much positive could be said for his Triple C’s crew’s debut. Take the creatively bankrupt “Throw It In The Sky” or the aftermarket dud “Finer Things” as prime examples. Later “Chick’n Talk’n” falls on deaf ears while guest Game fails to bring an edge to “Gangster Shit”. Ultimately though, the real problem is internal. Although there’s some sonically impressive production throughout, The Cartel fail miserably on making […]

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.
