Earlier this evening, DJ Enuff gave in and for the first time played Jay Electronica’s “Exhibit C” on Hot 97. In fact, he made it his “Heavy Hitter Pick of The Week”. No more second guessing! Props: RIK Yesterday: DJ Enuff’s Torn On Playing Jay Electronica

After testing the waters with their Hood State of The Union clips, Charlamagne and Lil Duval are taking their act to MTV with Nick Cannon Presents Hatin’ on ‘09. Below is the TV listening. Get cha DVR’s ready.
According to Statik, this will appear on The Re:Union mixtape as well as his album 100 Proof: The Hangover. Unfortunately, the latter won’t feature Mr. Greene’s verse.
Global Grind snapped this before it was deleted. Considering Kevin Liles and T.I.’s relationship, perhaps The King isn’t waiting til January 1st to regain the throne. Hopefully, we’ll get some insight ASAP.

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.
