This was scanned from The Source‘s new cover story featuring Mack Maine and Birdman. It goes unnoticed, but in the middle of Mack’s family jewels, there’s a black like-American Express card with the Young Money logo. It could merely be a business card, but in the tangible copy, it’s much clearer. If true, hopefully we’re pre-approved. UPDATE: Mack Maine confirms to Karen Civil the details behind Young Money’s latest venture. Better not leave home without it. As far as the […]

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.

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.
