The man behind the hottest beat in hip-hop today snitched to the Rap-Up. Snoop’s “I Wanna Rock” producer, Scoop Deville reveals that he recorded “Gangs In New York” with Jayceon and special Big Apple-based guests, Capo and Jadakiss. It’s uncertain though if it will make the final cut for The R.E.D. Album. See, it’s still not about East or West.

According to Billboard, Jadakiss and OJ Da Juiceman’s “Who’s Real” peaked at number 18 on the Rap Charts and stayed there for 14 weeks. Psssh, I demand a recount! Despite becoming a local NY hit, this dud couldn’t cross state lines. These two aren’t in the same bracket and damn sure don’t belong on the same track. “Silver Hummer, on eights /Life’s good, I’m straight/ Clap your hands one time you relate…” Is that the best you got, OJ? Sorry, […]
Without Birdman and Loso, Faheem and Pusha create the visual to Ross’ 2.5 remix. Oh boy. Wasn’t this shot a long time ago? Better late than ever, I guess. Maybach music made it to the next decade. Previously: On The Set: Rick Ross “Maybach Music 2.5″
Truth be told: I’ve never been one to listen to a Mos Def album from front to back. Still somethin’ kept bringing me back to The Ecstatic throughout the past year. And no it’s not because Diddy said it was hot. No, I think it’s because its such a unique collection of dense tunes containing true eclectic sounds. My faves: the intoxicating “Priority,” the as close to a Black Star reunion as you’re ever gonna get headnodder “History”, and the […]

Breezy tells Renada Romain, he was a lil’ tight about the coverline VIBE put across his chest. And CB later claims he would never speak ill of Usher. Oh well, I know from my experience, in most cases, if the artist loves his cover too much, you didn’t do a good job. Plus we can negotiate kid, but ultimately the media does what it wants. Press privileges, punk. Sue us. Ha. Previously: New VIBE Covers: Drake x Chris Brown
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.
