Today’s From The Vault pick is a track that continues to shine – even though it didn’t on the charts.

Mariah Carey’s ‘The Roof’ is this week’s selection.

Included on Ms. Carey’s 1997 ground-breaking ‘Butterfly’ album, ‘The Roof’ was released as the set’s third single. Produced by Mariah alongside Poke & Tone + Corey Rooney, it’s built around a sample of classic Hip-Hop jam ‘Shook Ones (Part II) by Mobb Deep.

Detailing the events of a sexy encounter on a rainy night with a mystery man – recently revealed to be former flame Derek Jeter – it showcased a more mysterious and sensual side of the singer.

Due to conflicts with her label at the time, the track was only given a limited European release, where it didn’t necessarily set the charts on fire.
Through time, Mimi’s dedicated fanbase has often alluded to sabotage when it comes to this specific single.

Diane Martel and MC co-directed the song’s sexy video which showcases the songbird riding a limousine and reminiscing about that rainy night on some New-York rooftop, where magic once happened.

The video mix of the track featured a verse from Mobb Deep, who also make an appearance.

As the visual progresses, Mariah is seen standing in the rain through the limo’s sun-roof as her way of trying to relive that very special moment.

Sadly, ‘The Roof’ was never the hit it was designed to be, but it truly is the definition of a fan-favorite and rightfully so. With its slick and hard production, poetic lyrics, as well as its edgy video, it represents Mariah in top form in all her areas of expertise.

We can’t wait to read about how this song and plenty others came about once her memoir ‘The Meaning of Mariah Carey’ hits the stands on Wednesday (September 29).

30 years into her career, the diva still knows how to keep us magnetised to the magic that is her talent.

This week saw Tory Lanez break his silence about allegations that he shot Megan Thee Stallion in the foot on night he was arrested for gun possession.

And while most remain firmly in the corner of Megan, some are being swayed.

It’s compelled a source close to the femcee to speak up and out about the alleged specifics of the incident.

Tory Lanez broke his silence yesterday with the surprise release of new album ‘DAYSTAR.’

The LP and the content within are notable because they serve as his long-awaited response to allegations that he shot Megan Thee Stallion in the foot on July 12 – the same night he was arrested for gun possession (with the femcee in the car).

Despite the evidence (which includes Megan’s verbatim revelation that he pulled the trigger), Lanez used the project to deny the claims.

Feeding the the public’s appetite for more backstory on the matter, he used the length and breadth of the project to paint a picture of romance, jealousy, and chaos. As reported, Lanez clapped back at some of his musical peers too

With many still rejecting him, what does that mean for the album’s first week prospects?

A royal backlash indeed for legendary ‘Throne Room’ hitmaker CeCe Winans after the Gospel diva was among the celebrities featured in a President Donald Trump-ordered ad designed to reassure the country about the current administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.

With the associated death toll at 204,000 at writing, Trump’s lax reaction to the health crisis has been widely criticized – a tide he was hoping to turn by teaming with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to launch a $300 million advertising campaign highlighting their reactive efforts.

To assist, HHS enlisted the likes of Dennis Quaid and Winans to reach audiences – a move that’s incited backlash for both participants, especially the latter.  So much so, the 12-time GRAMMY winner took to Twitter Friday (September 25) to defend her actions.
