As someone who had several dealings with Puff back in the 90’s , none of this surprises me and glad to see it all finally coming out , especially from Kirk Burrowes . I still recall having to negotiate a deal with Puff, via then President Kirk Burrowes in Kirk’s Bad Boy Office , with Kirk’s phone on speaker so puff could hear next door from his office and Kirk having to get up and go to Puffy’s office a number of times , in order to respond to my requests, as Puffy apparently refused to face me directly in a meeting .

Disagree with this list, especially putting the Miseducation album as #1. Although it was a great album and I met Lauryn hill many years ago , imo it certainly does not belong above Thriller which is #1 to me . Although full disclosure Michael
Jackson’s Manager was a client of mine and I had the great pleasure to meet and see MJ perform many times . However Personally Miseducation would not be in my top 10 list at all

Apple Music announced its 10 greatest albums of all time, with Lauryn Hill’s 1998 iconic “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” claiming the top spot.
