One minute he’s doing a rock album. The next minute, he’s not. A nigga just get confuuused. While I get my mind right, the good folks at 1515 Broadway got their grubby hands on an excerpt from Wayne’s RS cover:
“Honestly? I don’t want to be the best rapper in the world. If I have a
rap album I’m dropping, then I want it to be the best rap album. But I
want to be the best. Period. Now. My favorite rapper hasn’t done what
I’m doing.”
“The rock sh– just comes from what my life is now. I’ve grown
into this person. I woke up one morning and
had three or four women in my bed where I not only didn’t know their
last names, I didn’t know the beginning letter of their first names.
All I know is, they’re the most beautiful women in the world, and I was
in my own place, in whatever city I was in. And I could have thrown a
dart at the map, and I’d probably have a place there too. I knew my
driver was waiting downstairs for me. When my nose finally cleared from
all the weed I had smoked, I smelled food in the kitchen and I knew it
was my chef. Then I look on my phone and see a message and know it’s
from a popular woman everyone knows. And when I went in the studio that
night, I couldn’t just rap…”
This must’ve been after the Carter 2, cause he hasn’t been able to rap since.

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.
