He sang the chorus to “Heart Of The City” and then played the keys to “Clocks” as Jay recited the lyrics to “Lost”. Afterward, they took it up a notch with “Viva La Vida”. Stadium status, indeed.
Petey Pablo was arrested this past weekend (September 11) after a gun was discovered in his carry-on bag. Yesterday, he appeared on North Carolina’s K97.5 and said that he thought his bag was weighted by two laptops. Tell it to the judge, brother. hhdx

This past Saturday, Luda celebrated his born day in his birth state with a concert at Chicago’s Park West. After the sold-out crowd sung Happy Birthday to the 33-year-old, he segues into “All I Do Is Win”. Oldies but goodies after the jump.

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.
