Man, miss me with the fake Jay and B quotes already. Headlines. Some of you sites will do anything for attention and traffic. You really believed B would speak to Star magazine? Tuck your tabloid in. And why would Hov need to write a letter to his daughter? Bitch please. He wrote a song! It's called "Glory" and it's pretty fuckin' revealing. He went on the record (double entendre) but you still don't get it. You may hear baby Blue's first cries but no you don't know her height, weight or what she looks like. And no you ain't gettin' a flick, fool. Can new parents get some privacy? Even if they are celebrities. Sheesh! Who raised you animals? Party at the 40/40. Paps outside. Rushin' the velvet rope. Don't trip over your integrity.
Put us here if you like. The RR store stays open 24/7. SOPA? Yeah we Showcase Our Product Always. And we're gonna continue straight ahead til somebody up there turns out the lights. Start from scratch? I'm not afraid.preem_and_pete
During the opening set of his Guru Salute mix, DJ Premier is greeted by Pete Rock who has a show at the same time on Shade 45. Of course, the chocolate boy wonder had to make time to pay his respects. Remember the two do battle next Sunday May 2 in Japan. Who’s comin’ with me? Ha!

I was honored and humbled to be an invited guest to DJ Premier’s Live From Headqcourterz Hip Hop Nation radio show last Friday night. Not only did Preem pay musical homage to his partner, he more importantly, for the first time, revealed that he did visit Guru in his last days. The details are heartbreaking. Damn you, Solar.

This was lifted from the actual CD of Gang Starr’s last studio album, The Ownerz. A DVD was planned but never came to fruition. Included are several interviews and live performances. One of the best yet.
During SXSW music festival, Peter Rosenberg caught up with music historian Nardwuar. More recently, The Human Serviette put the Black Eyed Peas through the ringer. Check it out after the jump.
This was completed over the weekend in Trnava, Slovakia. The wall was painted by Risk (AEK), Ewil (Point 3 Crew), Seph (Point 3 Crew), Duon. Gone but never forgotten.
Drake explains to Sway his methodology when approaching a mixtape versus an album. In his own words, he says:
“A mixtape can’t be the songs that don’t make your album, or songs that aren’t good enough to make your album make your mixtape — unless you’re that good. There aren’t that many people that are that good. I’m not that good. That mixtape [So Far Gone] is me working my hardest. It wasn’t ‘Oh, here are the songs I’m gonna give away to you ’cause I have better songs coming.’ A mixtape has become an album.
In some regards, Drake’s right. Although an album still is an album, a mixtape serves as a litmus test. Sway mentioned that the last new rapper to have a significant impact was 50 Cent. Not only was Fif’s tape 50 Cent Is The Future good, but it lead to something even better: Get Rich Or Tryin’. We’ll see if the cards are in Drizzy’s favor June 15th.
