Prince returned to his hometown of Minneapolis and gave local radio station, 89.3 The Current, the green light to premiere his new song. It’s a radio rip, but you get the gist of it. Nav
Bonjour. 50 & co. made their world tour stop in Paris last night and performed Before I Self Destruct’s final track. Note, the footage isn’t the best, but it’ll suffice for now. Previously: 50 Cent Berlin TV Interview Update: Better footage and flicks from show at YouKnowWhere.

[vodpod id=Video.3120845&w=425&h=350&fv=] Back in the lab with Cool & Dre in Miami, Joey continues to cook up material for his next LP. We see you Scoop Deville. Here Joey says he just received a track with Kells and teases us with another track. Of the few seconds of what was played, it already sounds sick. Get your ropes and razor blades ready.

“Who is Yayo? Yayo didn’t go to law school…I know that, but nigga, I had enough problems with the muthafuckin’ law to know some of it” Pretty hilarious interview. Yayo weighs in on working for 50, tight jeans and his little feud with Max B’s lawyer. Clearly, The Talk of New York has a lot to say.
Another big hit for Mr. Bridges. Where’s he gonna hang this one? Congratulations.

During Wasalu’s tour stop in the outback, he spoke with The Age to discuss past label conflicts and satisfying his core audience.”I don’t want to be Jay-Z and be worth $400 million and perform on every awards show,” he says. “It’s getting in touch with somebody who needs to improve their self-esteem.

It is so heartbreaking to hear DJ Premier break the news that DJ Kool Herc’s health is ailing, as he is literally the founding father who laid down the blueprint for hip-hop culture. Thinking about how someone who built an entire global phenomenon can end up struggling with medical expenses or failing health really puts things into perspective regarding healthcare challenges. When you look at how people navigate health or wellness procedures worldwide—whether someone is researching cosmetic treatments like Liposuction Cyprus or seeking urgent medical care—it underscores how essential access to reliable medical help and proper support systems really is. Kool Herc gave us the breaks, the block parties, and the entire movement that shaped generations of music lovers, so seeing the community step up to show love while DJ Premier brings awareness to his condition is the very least we can do. Sending strength and prayers to Kool Herc for a full recovery, and massive respect to DJ Premier for using his platform to make sure a true pioneer gets the support and respect he deserves.
