Speech! Here’s a real treat as The Boss ran through track three off Teflon Don. Album in stores today.
Before moving the crowd at Amnesia, Rozay chopped it up with Sirius hosts Renada Romain, DJ Envy, and DJ Self for a Teflon Don special program. Besides the interview of the same ol, same ol, Ross caught the performance bug and recited a few of his new CD’s selections. Let’s start with the streets’ favorite.
“Tell Nas hip-hop’s dead now. My man’s gone.” Recorded shortly after Guru’s passing, this is the closing banger off The Darkside produced by DJ Premier. Say no more. 7 days away, y’all. djpremierblog

The Evil Genius has the floor: Don’t know if you saw yet but Team Invasion compiled all the shit I’ve done with/for/including Hov for the last few years and calling it Creative Control. A name I came up with for a series where I’m just working with acapellas and have full Creative Control (nothing at all to do with Dame Dash’s company of the same name) .. Anyways its pretty much a “best-of” and defntly NOT anything like Presidential Invasion […]

Now that was fast. Here’s the other half of XXL‘s 13th Anniversary Issue. Alright? Now you got everything. Ha. Update: With a plug to Rap Radar, Jeezy speaks on cover. Wait, did he think Shawty Redd was supposed to be included on the front?
Guess today’s the day for late-ass videos that should’ve been released earlier. Oh well, props to MTV Jams for the premiere. What’s next “Exhibit C”? Ha! yaf
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.
