Woooha reports that Lonnie’s superpowers have been revoked as the lead role in The Green Lantern movie (No, DJ) scheduled to drop late next year. There’s no word as to why Warner Brothers dropped him from the role, but I’m guessing it’s a “Black thang.” In the comics, the original Lantern was of the Caucasian persuasion. So, the script probably had to be tweeked to fit Com. Ah well, at least he hit the jackpot here. Lucky bastard.
Bandanna and Officer Ricky hop on the remix for their labelmates’ self titled track, “Epiphany”. Label me an R&B thug, but ol’ girls voice sounds like it belongs in the Cotton Club, circa 1940. Epiphany hits stores May 5, MMIX

Look who’s cheating on us? Ha! Nah, the more Cory out there, the better hip-hop is. Peep dude cruisin’ through town with Whoo Kid and those fancy Radio Planet cameras capturing it all. I’d jot some of his lyrics down but he rhymes too damn fast. Never tongue-tied, huh? Smh.

“We got Big on the hook.”
Just when you thought screwed and chopped hooks were a thing of the best, here comes Fantasia’s ex with some Southern smoke. Ha! Young Dro drops a lil’ street heat to keep Grand Hustle hot before the impending doom of his CEO going to the clink. Do you really think these guys are gonna accomplish much with Cliff gone? Wish I wasn’t so skeptical.

“I’m grindin’ hard, I almost got my Black card.”
Rich Boy is to eskay as Boosie is to B.Dot. Ha! Here’s a new one from Alabama’s finest. Like most of Boy’s best stuff the hook is infectious. I really hope Interscope gives him another look. Fingers crossed.

Sidebar: I think I hear a lil Auto-Tune in the mix at the 2:50 mark or so. Uh oh, Mark Jackson says, “You’re better than that!”

Roth’s manager just hit me with this. It might be an exclusive but you never know in the land of 4080. Yup, this white dude is pretty good live and his pretty good album drops 4-20. Stay focused!
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.
