There’s a lot her contemporaries could learn from Rihanna.

Sure, though there’s really no denying the ‘inexpensive’ quality of her brand off stage, she stands as the blue print of how an act trying to win in today’s world should be handled.

Basically, in keeping it completely real, she stands as a shining example of well an act with limited skill can do when armed with a manager cut from the same cloth as Jay Brown.

Find out why the pair will have cause to celebrate in the weeks that follow…

With momentum for his new single Fine China reaching fever pitch today, Chris Brown made his merry way to ‘The Today Show‘ to push it even further.

Unfortunately, while he was extremely open to discuss his long running relationship with Rihanna and apologize for assaulting her back in 2009, his attempt to prove himself a changed man was thwarted when Matt Lauer confronted him with the many dramas that have occurred since them.

Think Drake.

Think Frank Ocean.

Watch as Chris is forced to explain himself below…

From The Vault is back this week with a yet another classic. We’re taking you back to the year 1996 when a one of a kind trio released their breakthrough single. We’re talking ‘Fu-Gee-La’ by the exceptional Fugees.

The first single from their magnum-opus and Hip-Hop landmark ‘The Score’, the tune was largely based on an interpolation of blue-eyed-Soul master Teena Marie’s ‘Ooh La La La’ as well as a clever sample of ‘If Loving You Is Wrong, I Don’t Want To Be Right’ by Jazz man Ramsey Lewis. Produced by ever-present Salaam Remi, this is the song that introduced the three lyricists’ impeccable flows as well as Ms. Hill’s smooth vocals to the general public.
Charting at #29 and #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop charts respectively, the single managed to garner some worldwide recognition placing at #21 in the UK and peaking at the 6th position of the German charts.
Those chart positions might not be as impressive as their next single ‘Killing Me Softly’ (which went on to hit #1 practically everywhere it was released), yet ‘Fu-Gee-La’ remains the dynamic trio’s best selling single in the US.
For its accompanying video, the band turned to director Guy Guillet which resulted in a cinematic visual set in the island of Jamaica where Pras, Wyclef and Lauryn all portray robbers on the run.
The shots showing the artists interacting and just vibing of each other leaves us with a bittersweet taste of nostalgia. For unlike many of today’s act’s, the Refugee Camp’s output has always been of such musical and lyrical substance, yet petty squabbles and personal drama makes a reunion highly unlikely.
Still with ‘The Score’ sounding as fresh today as 17 years ago (we know; time flies right?) we are positive it will remain an inspiration for music lovers of today and tomorrow.
The Fugees, we thank you, we salute you!
