In the flim, The Roots, Skillz, and Mos Def cover cuts from Gang Starr and Nice-N-Smooth at the Highline Ballroom in NYC. No “Dwyck” gentleman? Humbug! After the cut, they try their hand at Run-D.M.C.’s “Here We Go”.

Lauryn Hill Cancels All European Tour Dates

While we wait for Michael Jackson to back out of his summer tour, L Boogie continues to confuse and disappoint:

Festival organizers say hip-hop and R&B singer Lauryn Hill has canceled all tour dates in Europe this summer for health reasons.

Stockholm Jazz Festival spokeswoman Liisa Tolonen says the artist’s agent informed the festival late Tuesday that all performances in Europe by the former Fugees singer have been canceled. This includes shows in Sweden, Greece, the Netherlands, Poland, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, France, and Austria.

Tolonen said Wednesday the agent cited health reasons for the cancellation but declined to give more details.

The tour would have marked a comeback to stage by Hill who has kept a low public profile in recent years. She was the planned headline act for The Stockholm Jazz Festival, one of Sweden’s biggest music events.

Let’s hope she has no real illness, we already know she’s sick in the head.

“Oh, let’s not get it twisted. Venetian paint. Here’s that Venetian. This ain’t regular.”

During The Penguin’s interview with the 1515 Boys he expressed his feelings on being mentioned in Hova’s latest song:

“Khaled was recently humbled by rap giant Jay-Z, when Hov shouted Khaled on the song ‘D.O.A’ The mouthy DJ says he was stunned and left speechless by Jay’s co-sign.

‘To get a co-sign from a legend like that is big. He said my name, he said, ‘We the best!’ It brought a tear to my eye,” Khaled said.”

Ah! Who said Terror Squad and Jigga can’t get along? We’ve come a long way baby. Ha!
