Remember last week’s video of Dame Dash and his visible disappointment in finding out that Jay-Z agreed to a performance at the Mixtape Power Summit without notifying him? Well Choke No Joke’s not the only one who had cameras down there in 2003. Here’s the start of Roc Madness. Hov, drink in hand, doin’ “Dead Presidents” and “Can I Live.”

Speakin’ of big guys gettin’ their groove on, peep Erick Sermon at the beginning of this performance. It almost makes up for the blatant lip-syncing. Here’s EPMD performing “Gold Digger” on The Party Machine With Nia Peeples. I think Uncle Ell saw this in real time.

While doing a press junket for Obsessed, B breaks down the sad state of female rap. Apparently, ain’t no Nicki Minaj in her iPod.
“Female MC’s, it’s really unfortunate because there aren’t any right now. I mean there are a few that are really great. But we need Lauryn Hill! I think you know it’s gonna happen and we just have to be patient. I’m sure right now whoever the next female MC is young and hungry and focusing. We just have to be patient, I guess.”
*Crystal’s gonna messenger off a Miss Rap Supreme DVD Box Set to Tribeca* Ha!

When I got there, it was overwhelming. The part that was overwhelming
was that it was so much love. I started thinking about where I’ve been
in my life and how hard it was for me to get here — it’s like a
miracle. I started getting a little emotional, about not just that, but
my homie, my brother, who is a very important part in my life not just
in my career. I can’t really say too much about the situation because it’s dealing with
an ongoing investigation,” he explained. “I’ve been advised that I
really couldn’t get into the specifics of the case, you feel me? But
the fact of the matter is: The police shot him and it’s definitely
unjustified, but that will all come out later on.”
Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale is an absolute masterpiece that adds even more depth to Tyler’s already incredible discography. The new tracks feel like essential missing pieces, perfectly capturing that signature swagger and raw lyricism we all love.Listening to this project is as satisfying as watching a high-quality Construction Larnaca site evolve; it’s precise, ambitious, and builds something truly lasting. The production is top-tier, and the guest features fit like puzzle pieces. It’s the perfect way to wrap up this era. If you haven't spun it yet, you’re definitely missing out on some serious heat.
