Oh no, it can’t be. The Quence got Gram Fam back-up. The vocals fly by faster than a speeding bullet. How soon before CDQ? UPDATE: Only an hour. Not bad. Splash
Life is one big video shoot apparently. Wayne looks quite devilish above. Yikes. My political connects tell me this song is on Santana’s Def Jam album. If there really is such a thing. Spotted: YBF Previously: On The Set: Juelz Santana x Lil Wayne “Home Run”
RR Update: B Dot still hates this song and YN thinks it’s gonna be a big hit. Here’s two photos from the upcoming video from Weezy’s crew. DGBlog has a gang of others. Knock yourself out.
I was saddened the other day when I heard news of the passing of Ken Ober. He was the host of one of MTV’s first non-video playing ventures in the late ’80s, a TV trivia game show called Remote Control. Adam Sandler got his start on the show and my 16-year-old hormones had a thing for Kari Wuhrer. I found a clip of one of my favorite eps featuring LL Cool J with bodyguard in tow, chompin’ on cookies and […]
Here’s another behind the scenes peek at the Def Jam South Prez’s next all-star visual. Props to Mr. Raymond and especially Ricky for breaking out the blue and orange. Guess the Yankee joints were sold out. Ha! I’m from Queens. I can clown my squad. Khaled Previously: On The Set: DJ Khaled “Fed Up”

“You don’t want the shooter, I’ll take him”. Philly’s Power 99 brought ’em together, so of course they broke song first. Sigel doesn’t fire any Hov shots, but the guy on hookman duty talks his shit at the end. CDQ coming soon. Props: Omen UPDATE: Info got Dirty CDQ.
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.
