Common Brings It In At #1, Rhymest Visits Jazzy Jeff’s Crib, New Jill Scott Vid, Jean Grae Radio, Wu-Tang Appreciation.

Photo taken by B.Kyle yesterday on a movie set in L.A. Here’s one another.
• Congratulations Common! Coming in at #1, Finding Forever has earned Common his first career numero uno on the Billboard Album Chart. And the record hasn’t even truly penetrated mainstream commercial radio yet, proving that The People picked this one! Congratulate the man yourself, that’s huge!

• Watch as Rhymefest documents his trip to DJ Jazzy Jeff’s home. Get a full-on load of Jeff’s palace (this is waaay better than Cribs!) as Rhymefest guides you through his day with Jeff with the help of director Konee Rok. We even get a special guest appearance from the lovely Maimouna, one-time Roots back-up vocalist- I see you ma!

• Jill Scott brings us her latest video for “Hate On Me.” Watch, and tell us your thoughts.

• Listen to the latest installment of Jean Grae Radio, brought to you by Crazy DJ Bazarro.

• Protect your neck! Get in on the conversation. The Lesson has declared August Wu-Tang appreciation month, and this post is filled with treats. Then go behind the scenes at Rock the Bells with the RZA and the GZA.
