Funkmaster Flex must hold the record for the longest birthday celebration. This past weekend, he brought Gucci Mane to Club Ole in Elizabeth, New Jersey. Gooch isn’t the most dynamic performer, but he did test out his new collabo with Swizz Beatz.
Thank you OG Juan for pushing Hov to perform his verse from his Rick Ross Teflon Don collabo. Is this the verse of the year like 1515 Boys’ Shaheem Reid says? Well it’s an undisputed great addition to the setlist. Ha!
[vodpod id=Video.4365236&w=425&h=350&fv=] Tricks are for kids. But B.o.B.’s new video is suitable for all ages. Here’s the visual to Bobby Ray’s chart topping single. Do you believe in magic now? os
You can’t have a Shady/Aftermath shindig without inviting Curtis. After rippin’ through “Patiently Waiting,” he takes over the show with the Unit in tow. Two of Fif’s biggest hits, “I Get Money,” and “In The Club” below. Light up!
Motion Dose is on their grind and scored the new music video from Asher Roth. The song will appear on his forthcoming player, The Spaghetti Tree. Weird title, but at least the visual makes sense. ugc
Seriously, last night’s opening concert of the Eminem/Jay-Z Home & Home series lived up to the hype and surpassed it. But in a night full of highlight after highlight, the biggest pop from the Comerica Park crowd came when Andre Young emerged. It was surreal. Below the fans let the Doc know they still want Detox.
Look who talked behind the scenes at last night’s historic concert. Man, to be a fly on the wall for that convo. I see you, Norm!!! Ha! More great flicks by Lenny S. below and I got a gang of footage. I suggest you lock in today. Oh, what a night! themuthafuckin’lifefiles
Ready or not, French and Wiz reunite once again for their latest duet. Off Montana’s upcoming mixtape, Coke Boyz. No oh oh oh.
After meeting Busta Saturday, Monday was a good day for Yelawolf as well. Not only did Yela chop it up with Ice Cube while recording the cypher for the upcoming BET Hip Hop Awards, he also received his custom made grill courtesy of his homie Paul Wall. Grill ’em. yk2
Reks’ In Between The Lines popped up on our radar earlier this year. Now he’s following through with a part two and an EP coming this fall. In the meantime, here’s his Statik Selektah-produced track. His Rhymatic Eternal King Supreme is coming early next year.

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.
