Get out the way Cudi, the Chi-town express is coming! I don’t even like this piss-poor Pharrell track but even I was hoppin’ up and down. I never seen Com so animated. Maybe he was so amped because he knew a reunion with his ex-boo was on deck.

Is this gonna be the star of the XXL cover pack? Time will tell. But “Sky Might Fall,” sounds like a pretty good second single to me. Click on further for that song you can’t escape and Cudi’s collabo with Cons over a Tribe classic.

There are 7 wonders of the world. You are about to witness the eighth. And if you survive this, there’s more.

Kanye pledges his allegiance to the hip-hop and brings out his lil buddy 88-Keys. Dude’s too short to be a rap star. Ha! Just playin’.

As amazing as the G.O.O.D. music show at SXSW was, it was not without fault. Peep the sound bwoy burial worthy “We Major” and, after the jump, check out a constant problem of the night, Mr. West flubbin’ and often forgettin’ his rhymes.

“And don’t forget the Puerto Rican niggas.”
How bout a lil old school for your Wed morn? And I’m not talkin’ 90’s throwback. I’m talkin old school. The real old school. The YN was in 3rd grade makin’ his mom go to J&R Music World to cop this silver and black 12-inch old school. You down with MP3 yeah you know me. But I still dig me some vinyl as the staff at the RR Mansion can attest.
Anyways, here’s the Mighty Mike C!, MC President. If you only know this song from the way it was butchered on Jay-Z “Sunshine,” then you lost. Pardon my back!
Props: And it’s still Grand Good
808s and Boom Bap?
Kamaal just dropped his latest all-star rap remix on q-tip.com. If you’re not a member yet—you played yourself. Love the “Heartbreak Hotel” bridge replay in the mix. I’m ready for The Renaissance Deluxe Edition.

The homie Sha from MTV is at it again. He just put a tribute up of the last great R&B album. Has it really been 5 years since Usher changed the game with Confessions? Shit the first half of that album is still undisputed. “Yeah.” “Throwback.” “Confessions 2.” “Burn.” “Caught Up.” SMH. You can’t even compare it to the last train wreck he put out last year. As a wise man once told me, that shit was “difficult.” But shit, let me step out of the way and let Mr. Reid reflect:
Usher’s Confessions Still Holds Up After Five Years

I love it, who needs a radio station to do a radio show. Watch DJ Drama get his Clark Kent on and try to make sense out of the mumblings of Gucci Mane. Can’t believe Mr. Thanks gassed this nigga to think he’s top 5 of anything. Big, Pac, Jay, T.I. and… Gucci? Niggas please.
True story: I’ve been breakin’ Joey IE from Asylum’s balls (no homo) for some exclusive content. So when Gucci came up to Asylum he got him on the phone with B Dot but the convo was so terribly boring, we decided not to run it. This ATLien needs some media training. Mike Jones got more personality than this guy. He must be a killa.

Ok I know there’s a lot of video out there from the G.O.O.D. Music showcase but I decided that with all the shit I shot I’m just rollin’ out my highlighted moments in order of the actual show. For those who don’t know the homie Semtex snatched the set list which is pretty close to accurate.
Here Kanye and crew run through one of my favorites “Gone” (damn to one day to see it with Killa. Say never). The GLC-assisted “Drive Slow” and, after the jump, the unquestionably long-lasting jewel from album number one.
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.
