Jay threw in a new one in the closing medley he does at all his shows. One of my favorites off Face’s The Fix. A classic. Buy that old album! Kanye West on the track by the way. Ha!

He performed his latest single, “DJ Got Us Fallin In Love” followed by “There Goes My Baby” and “Yeah!” hhnm via umd
The opening act B.o.B. (Footage of him coming soon too. Ha!) came back out to help Em with his hit off The Adventures Of Bobby Ray. Some say Em’s verse here is the Verse Of The Year. Get your debate on!
Of course the two co-headliners had to perform their collabo off The Blueprint. Thanks Em and Jay.
Coming off the success of the film Takers, Breezy returns to the top of the Billboard charts for the first time in four years. This week, his Tyga collabo “Deuces” jumped to number one on the Hip-Hop/R&B Charts. Take that.
Hov took time to pay homage to hip-hop’s fallen soldiers especially Em’s homie Proof and his friend, Christopher Wallace. It’s a “Hard Knock Life” above and Iceberg Slim has “A Dream” to Aerosmith’s “Dream On” on the other side.
[vodpod id=Video.4366978&w=425&h=350&fv=] Touré was lucky enough to chop it up with Lauryn Hill backstage at the Rock The Bells concert this past weekend. She speaks on her absence from the game and her creative mind state. New album in the cards? Outlook, not so good. yardie
Marshall hittin’ up the OVO Festival had its benefits. Last night, Aubrey returned the favor and got his crazy face on as Em kicked your favorite verse from “Forever”. Motion picture shit. Word to Bron Bron.
Kendrick’s a monster on the mic. And here’s the video to prove it. Only two weeks remain until he O.D.‘s over his peers.
Jizzle is kinda like a big deal especially in the D, so it was only right Hov brought out his old tourmate. After his verse from Shawty Lo’s “Dey Know (Remix)”, Jeezy gets his “Soul Surivor” on and “Puts On” with SC as hypeman. After the jump, Da Snowman “Loses His Mind”.
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.
