Sad to say, but last Saturday Fat Beats NY store closed for good. But before it did, there was a glorious hip-hop celebration. We already showed you A-Trak at work behind the wheels and now here’s some of Just and Preemo doin’ their thing. Ain’t nothin’ like hip-hop music. Bonus: Whatchu know ’bout Caron Wheeler?
B.o.B. definitely is having a September to remember. After opening for Eminem & Jay-Z’s Detroit concerts last week, he’s set to warm up the crowd again at Yankee Stadium next Monday and Tuesday. To catch the performance VIP style, better pay like you weigh.
While the rest of us were celebrating Labor Day weekend, Shyne Mr. Leviy celebrated the holiday in Jerusalem, Israel. Take that Matisyahu.

[sparkart-clique site=”rap_radar” video=”curreny4_hours_and_20_minutes”] It only takes 3 minutes and 28 seconds to watch “4 hours and 20 minutes” by Curren$y and Killa Kyleon. From H-Town to your town, this rings off.

Complex: Are you now actively pursuing the release of Food and Liquor II? Lupe Fiasco: Nah. People were saying they wanted a Lupe record, so here’s a Lupe record, from me, not some dude leaking it.

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.
