While us mere mortals wait for Kanye and Jay-Z’s Watch The Throne, Hot 97’s Angie Martinez got to hear the final product last night. Without giving up too much information, she gave a mini review on her show this afternoon. As we all know by now, Frank Ocean is one of the few guest appearances and by her account, he’s “quite impressive”. You’ll be the judge this summer. We hope.
Nobody could touch Cube back when Cube had it. This nigga with attitude went solo and never looked back. Mo’ money. Mo’ masterpieces. Salute!
Too cool like Ice-T. Ty Kidd

After talks of a possible collaboration, Miss Thang keeps her word and finds Rozay and Lil’ Kim for the first single off her forthcoming album. New Life begins October 4. Produced by Missy Elliott.

Producer Symbolic One and Nas dap up during a recent visit at No I.D.’s pad. S1 kept things on the hush, but states Nasir’s next set is amazing and a beat he’s crafted for Esco may possibly be a go. thanks: marek kamarýt
With dope lines like these, of course it would be hard for Ras Kass to stay in the margins. Here’s his latest video in support of his project, Endangered Lyricist Vol. 3.
[vodpod id=Video.12528982&w=540&h=350&fv=%26rel%3D0%26border%3D0%26] Back in March, we got the first version of this video, but Cee-Lo nor Wiz were featured in it. Today, we get them both lighting things up the ways they should. The Lady Killer in stores now.
Tyga and Breezy snap to it and dish out a new video dedicated to those flimsy-ass baseball caps. Fitteds or nothing! Tyga’s Well Done 2 coming soon. wshh

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.
