This week, I come clean on one of Jay-Z’s beloved tracks. Sorry YN, but fronting will get me nowhere.
Last Week: Hip-Hop Confessions: J Dilla Who?

GIANT took a look at four of hip-hop’s most enduring bromances. Can someone bury this term next to “Swagger”, por favor?
Bromance:|brōˈmans; brōˌmans| (noun): 1. A “man crush.” A close but non-sexual relationship between two men, a form of homosocial intimacy. 2. A really crappy MTV reality series.

Look at this DJ Vlad guy gettin’ his journalism on. Apparently my homie got the scoop on the latest casualty of Andre Young Records. I always thought that Mr. Lamont was a lil too feisty to stay in the Doc’s good graces. Although still unconfirmed, it looks like this rumor got legs. E1 Music, here we come!
Update: A buzzed Bishop throws Vlad under the bus. Says he’s still signed. Only need to watch first 3 mins.
Props: Shawn David and Pcire in our comments. Peace!
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.
