[vodpod id=Video.9079495&w=540&h=350&fv=] Even though Wiz Khalifa was on C.P. time, he finally hit the stage earlier this evening at the O2 Sherpherd’s Bush Empire for his first live performance in the UK. Lucky for us, Roy Thomas and Sumit both share what they captured during the show.
According to HDD, Tyler’s new album GOBLIN debuts at #5 on the charts with approximately 50,249 copies sold in the first week. That’s swag! UPDATE: Final number is 45,100 units.

Money, hoes and clothes is all Dom Kennedy knows in his latest video. If you haven’t got familiar with The Original Dom Kennedy, do so here.
You might remember the original version dropping all the way back in 2008, but now we get the official remix with some heavy hitters. I gotta say, they all killed this one. Cameo King II, out on May 24th.
We’ve been here before—plenty of times actually, but once again Chuck announced via Twitter that his long overdue album has a new official release date. Hey Kobe. “#alliwantis for my fans to know that the R.E.D. album will be in-stores AUGUST 23rd !!! Thanks for the continuous love & support. Just got off a conference call with Jimmy Iovine & @interscope . Aug 23rd is the release date & it’s like a FAT GIRL….. It won’t move !”
Footage hit the net yesterday of Kendrick Lamar mimicking Wiz Khalifa’s rhyme style. Sumit caught up with Wiz in the UK and got his reaction of the mockery (8:23 mark). This calls for a duet, on some “Trading Places” shit.
Guilty Simpson, Sean Price, and Black Milk do their individual dirt in this dope video directed by Todd Angkasuwan. Look out for Random Axe’s album June 14th. Purchase the single here.

Musiq Soulchild brought out Consequence two weeks ago at the Highline Ballroom and performed their duet for the first time. Only time will tell if Movies On Demand 3 sounds as good.

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.
