Change of plans folks. According to Billboard.com, The Blueprint 3 has bumped from it’s original date, September 11th to September 8th. No reason as to why, but it’s safe to surmise the album leak contributed to the decision.
“I read an interview where Natalie Portman said she likes dirty
rap, obscene lyrics and all that. I figure she can dance to this one.
I’m looking for you Natalie!”— Ghostface Killah
Well, Ghost is right. In Interview magazine, the actress admitted to having a penchant for lewd raps. Hopefully this new cut tickles more than her fancy.

Considering Ferrari and Starks’ history, I found it was strange that Ghost granted the folks down the URL an interview. Well according to XXL, he mended their beef with a phone call.
That’s some old-school shit. Back then, things were
all snowballed in the air on some other shit. I didn’t like what he
said, that’s where it all started from anyway. But we kicked it on the
phone one time, and after we kicked it on the phone that was it. I aint really trying to hold no grudge fucking 30 years later after
he done said whatever the fuck he done said. So it
was like whatever. At the end of the day we’re
still people just trying to get ahead. It’s like you’re having a fight
with a muthafucka 10 years ago… you can either keep the grudge or be
like ‘yo wattup’ and just let it go and shit, it’s like what the fuck
I’m holding on to it for. I respect all these niggas. As long as you
respect me, I’ma respect you.
Word to Aretha.

In the “Making of The Blueprint” feature found in the October XXL, Tone of The Trackmasters reveals that “Jigga That Nigga” was crafted for N.O.
Tone: Jay doesn’t even know it was [originally] was for N.O.R.E. [Laughs] N.O.R.E doesn’t know it was for N.O.R.E. That’s funny. It was actually the same joint, but with the word “N.O.R.E.” Instead of “Jigga,” it was “ N.O.R.E.”
Is it too late for a remix? Issue hits newsstands everywhere September 15th.

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.
