Maino pours a lil’ liquor for the Notorious one on the 14th anniversary of his death. What’s really unbelievable is that after all these years, this case still isn’t solved. Russell Poole ain’t lie, that crooked cop had something to do with it. Anyway, if you want to get your Biggie fix, here’s some good content from The Source, MTV, and Lifefiles.

This is a great reminder of how powerful and lasting Lauryn Hill’s influence has been in music.

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.
