Marshall flew across the Atlantic again and headlined the Openair Frauenfeld Festival in Switzerland yesterday. Above, is some great footage of Em reciting “Not Afraid”. After the jump, he runs through his various hits. Sidebar: Slim vs. Chef ?
Now that Bron Bron is caught up with the Heat, he joined his fellow teammates in Miami to celebrate with fans. Arguably the best trio to ever play the game of basketball? We’ll see. The heat pressure is on.
Radric and Katrina link up once again, but this time they’re lookin’ for blood. Not exactly something we’d sink our teeth into though. dgb

Fuck a flower pot, this is real hip-hop! That’s why we had to share. But be clear: No more posts from War Report 2 after this. Handle your business in four days. Tell ’em Yellow Nigga sent you. NR

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.
