So Earl Simmons showed up to a concert in Colorado last night and wasn’t allowed to perform. Thus, a battle between X and his crew vs. the security broke out. Pretty crazy footage. Even crazier is the revelation that the promoter ’caused all the whole fracas. More after the jump. Props: Real Talk NY
After the original, if you patiently wait a long-ass fuckin’ time it’s probably this… With No Ceilings on the way, it looks like Mixtape Weezy season has begun. Word on the Internets: A lot of leftover joints will drop like birdshit this week. Props: NR via TS Update: Trick or Treat.

In case you ain’t heard by now, it’s Drake’s Saturday. This is an early unfinished take of a joint off Timbo’s Shock Value 2. Sounds like some typical Drizzy to me. Which means it’s pretty good. Props: DJ Neptune Sidebar: Anybody ready for them Gucci mixtapes? Burrr!
You peeped the video tease, now here’s the first single off Red’s 9 1/2 album. Fingers crossed, it drops December 8th. Always gotta respect Mr. Noble, he made alotta Def Jams. Ha!
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.
