It’s been a minute—well, five years actually, since we’ve heard from Marshall. But on May 19, that’s scheduled to change with the release of his fifth solo album, Relapse. Truthfully, Em has big zapatos to fill. And to ensure customer satisfaction is guaranteed, the homie broken cool added his 2 cents to see that it’s met.
NO AKON…IN FACT FEW GUESTS IF ANY
Each night before I go to sleep I say a prayer and it goes like this:
God, I know Eminem jumped on Akon’s “Smack That” and tore it
up…but I PRAY that he was paid for this guest spot and it wasn’t one
of those “you appear on my song, I’ll appear on yours” deals. Please
keep “Relapse” free of any Africans who aspire to do Country music. Thank you.
Seriously though, I REALLY hope the Pop&B world didn’t get into
Shady’s ear and convince him to let them on what should be 2009’s best
album (and yes I said SHOULD). Going further, I hope the album is
relatively free of guests. I’m fine with D-12 and Bobby Creekwater
(although I would have preferred Stat Quo)…and of course Dr. Dre,
Snoop Dogg and 50 are always welcome, but please keep the hordes of
guests away…and Ca$his…please keep Ca$his away too…but there is
one exception on the guests issue…keep reading…
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.
