“I’m still ill then and I’m still ill now. Don’t make me take my belt off in here. A lot of y’all young niggas look old already so keep you’re cool and learn from a nigga who knows how to do this.” Better late than never. Here’s how The Chef spent his Sept. 8th. Hot 97 trips, Jamaica, Queens in-store, JMJ studio visit, and crazy party at Santos. Fourteen years for one sequel. What a crazy ride. Props: Harry
Miss Keri Baby > Mr. Hudson. It ain’t even a question. Nice cover. And nicer to look at. Why do artists have to go overseas to do creative shit? Let’s step our game up, America. Props: YK2
First, the new VIBE first teased us and now Puff has confirmed to Billboard (MC on her grind) he’s joinin’ the machine a.k.a. Mr. Iovine’s Interscope Records. “Now that the term of the Warner deal has ended, I have elected to accept an opportunity to move my recording career and future label venture to another company,” Diddy said in a statement. Do I see Will.i.am remixes in Last Train To Paris‘ future? Ha! Still, this leaves me with more questions […]
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.
