[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3473766&w=425&h=350&fv=] “I still love her from far away.” Now that Joe Budden no longer saves the live streams from his blog TV channel, we must rely on WSHH rips to keep up with his foolery. In this clip, he talks about being single again and tryin’ to figure out how his newfound bachelor lifestyle fits in with his need for video documentation. (No, not like that. Ha!) Just peep game, you Slaughterhouse stans.
I’ve never seen this guy do this much promo. Must be workin’ though. 300K in a second week? MTV hand over that Hottest MC crown. Anyways, I usually cringe when rappers do these strange international shows. I’m gonna close my eyes, you tell me how it goes. I suppose I can watch… later. Props: Jay-Z World
Kinda! Shock headline alert. It was Mr. Raymond’s music. Specifically, this tune playin’ in the backdrop when Miss Keri’s panties dropped and she made love for the very first time. No word on whether hickeys were exchanged. For those stumbling with their math, it was eight years ago. Born in ’82, she was 19. You know, I’m starting to buy her goody two-shoes act. How dumb am I? SMH. Props: Q Deezy
Today, Boosie Boo plead guilty to gun and drug charges and was sentenced to two years in the slammer. Luckily, he could serve less than a year for good behavior. Better not set it off in that bitch. Props: AUM

Spotted: 57th Ave Sidebar: More snitchin’ from Fuck Boy’s set.
From the Vibe vaults, Afeni’s son credits Bad Boy for instilling his Thug Life philosophy after getting shot at Quad Studios. Pac then segues into sales figures between his All Eyez On Me and B.I.G.’s Ready To Die. See, 50 wasn’t the only one checking SoundScan.

Gargamel appeared on Renada Romain’s Hip-Hop Nation morning show and big’d up Hov for his impact on the game. Contrarily, he cringed when discussing the current state of Dancehall music. Lawdamercy! On Jay-Z On Dancehall
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.
