Waka and a few of his pals take a ride on a Drumma Boy beat with no hands. It’s a few months old, but finally here is the mastered and finalized version. By a show of hands, who’s feeling Roscoe’s hook? Thought not.
Waterblocknyc got a hold of an outtake from Kanye West’s 2004 MTV Diary where the burgeoning rapper and his mom recite one of his old verses. Hey mama. perajok

We can’t get a State Property reunion anytime soon, but the Broad Street Bully says he’s about to spread the chain gang across the states before spitting a freestyle. S.P. for life? 57 ave
It sure was ol’ school Thursday night at the Paradise Theater in the BX and of course Rick The Ruler and Mr. Fresh stole the show. Get it? Anyhow, the pair ran through their classics as Grand Puba slows down after the jump.
Who’s up for a drink this evening? Well get yourself a cup as Game, Cold Bloodz and A.R. serves us the first video off Brake Lights thanks to AHH. Red is the best flavor right? Oh yeah!
Once again: Another Ramon Seguro leak. Sorry Plain Pat. After the snippet, it’s probably this. This apparently is an early version of the title track off Mescudi’s upcoming sophomore album. If I was Team Cudi, I’d see ‘Ye do it and wait til Spring 2011 to drop my shit. TS
Straight from John Legend’s YouTube account, here’s a full clip of the secret show opener. After the jump, a few words from the man with the popular hairline and the full performance of “American Boy” featuring Estelle. Maybe I should have drank a Red Bull and threw on my Scooby Doos. *Kanye shrug*

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.
