Think we’re gonna start posting Entourage eps on the Double R. Hey all of us hip-hop heads watch it anyhow. Just ask the homie from CNN (The rap group. Not the network.).

Once Again: Yardie

“He’s the newest member of the Cash Money team/ And he’s about to make that nigga Brian mad more CREAM.”
Umm. Nah.
Bow Wow broke the news on Twitter on Sunday that if you can’t beat Lil Wayne, you join him. That’s right rap fans, Bow Weezy and Weezy are now labelmates. In other news, Omarion, his singing buddy is only signed to Young Money. Take that, O!
Bonus: Here’s exclusive footage of the deal goin’ down.

“And you can live through anything if Magic made it.”
Earvin Johnson turned 50 today. Living with HIV for 18 years, he continues to take a multi-drug cocktail every day to fight his HIV. A great athlete and a great man. Kiss Cookie on the forehead for us.
Fun Fact: Magic was managing Ma$e when he “retired” in 1999. But let’s not hold that against him. Ha!

“I’m a wizard of the word/ That’s what you heard.”
On their current tour, the Brothers From The Soul have been covering a Run-DMC classic. Last night in Manhattan, they upped the ante and brought Darryl Mac from out the back at the 1:35 mark. Huh!
Sidebar: Go to Brooklyn Vegan for more footage.

Looks like Hov may have some big things poppin’ on his 9/11 release date. No ground zero. But I hear he’s planning a return to MSG with all the proceeds goin’ to charity. Sure to be a hot ticket if it goes down. Let’s keep our fingers crossed. I was at the Fade To Black show and I remember the ground shaking like LJ hit a three-pointer. Ha! Look it up!

After talking greasy about his label boss in his Fader cover story, Drizzy attempts to make nice. But…Is it just me or did Fuck Boy Brown’s apology seem more sincere. Let’s see: Make a video that angers your female fans, injure yourself, and have a public conflict with your record company’s home. When’s Drake’s album, Before I Self Destruct droppin’ again? 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.
