Welp, someone’s getting fired. Here’s what appears to be the winners list for tomorrow’s VMA’s. According to this, Eminem swept the hip-hop category, while Lady Gaga takes home a moon man for Video of the Year. Congratulations? Props: Marvin Update: Aye! According to MTV Buzzworthy, this list is phony and fake. Got it? Okay!
Here’s the final clip from my sit down with Mr. Keaton. In previous conversations, he’s expressed a desire to teach at a college or university. But before you fill out that FASFA, listen up as Guru schools you to some game. You’re welcome Y.G. I made you hot nigga! Ha!

After performing alongside Hov last night at Madison Square, Cudi took to Twitter and vented about the typographical errors on his album. Ironically, he spelled “Rediculous” wrong. But don’t be maaad, Scott. “A Star Is Born” off The Blueprint 3 was spelled “Bortn” when I loaded it to iTunes. Besides, you don’t want to get on Sylvia Rhone’s bad side. Ask, Drake. Heads Up: Omen Previously: Kid Cudi On David Letterman
Here’s MJ’s induction speech into the Hall Of Fame. Other inductees included John Stockton (Top 5, 1 guard ever?) and The Admiral, David Robinson. More after the jump, man.
Yesterday, political pundit Glenn Beck appeared on political prick Bill O’Reilly’s show. Discussing Jay’s 9/11’s benefit concert, Glenn shows off his @S_C autographed copy of Bill’s book, A Bold Fresh Piece Of Humanity. The inscription reads: “Peace Bill, Jay-Z. Off That.” Ha! Hov just played you out.
“See who’s your real friends when your back is against the wall.” Yep, when the grass is cut, the snakes will show. In the meantime, Sai-Gitty displays his loyalty to Tru-Lizzy who’s currently incarcerated for allegedly catching a body. Props: NR via X
Last night on the corner of 7th Ave and 32nd St in Manhattan, Jay-Z solidified his spot as the greatest rapper ever. Selling out the Garden for an eighth time, Jigga ran through a string of hits including cuts off The Blueprint 3. If you couldn’t experience it live, capture the moment after the cut.
Scott appeared on Dave’s nightly spot and performed “Pursuit of Happiness (Nightmare)” along with Ratatat. Still haven’t heard Man On The Moon, but from what I’m told it’s that black emo rap.
Yesterday, Michael Jeffery Jordan held court before getting inducted to Naismith Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass. There’s no “i” in team, but there’s an “I” in win. Ha!
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.
