At a recent gig in Atlanta, Whale Wale gives a roll call of his “niggas” in the biz. When he mentions Dukie’s name at the 1:20 mark, he says the following:
“Charles Hamilton. That’s not my nigga. Any real nigga, don’t run behind your back and say some bullshit. Especially if he know you gon check him not check him on a record. It’s ok, we all young rappers growing up.”
In case you forgot, these guys tried to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes on
April’s Fools Day. But, I’m not buying it.
Update: Dukie responds:
“I’m not his n1gga. And? He didn’t diss me… besides, I think this is
the show he was telling me about… or was it the show where in a
freestyle he said “F*ck Charles Hamilton”? I don’t know/care. if its an
issue, I’m sure as vocal as Wale is, we’ll hear about it. I mean, other
rappers did entire interviews thoroughly explaining their issue with
me. Then again, they got ignored, too. Damn. When I go fishing for a
shark, I end up with tadpoles at the end of my fishing rod. Shucks…
oh well… Until the next time I speak to Wale, this gets filed under
“TheShruggingShoulders”…
CANNON!!!
~~Charles Hamilton~~

The fuck?
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.
