Jay was back in the crowd last night and caught Calvin Harris’ Made In America performance. Here’s front row footage straight off the iPhone. Eventually, Hov made it rain with those $2 bills. After the jump, Spencer Clements caught yours truly struggling to light a Cuban. Damn cameras. Ha!
Game sets some time aside from his busy schedule for family time. Game also tries to rekindle the flame with Tiff by taking her out on a date and tries to convince her to move to Houston.
Can’t make this up. Since Shikinah jokingly wishes she was white, her and Tiny spend the entire day as if they were white. It’s tea time!
Lil Reese is back with his new collection of music, Supa Savage. Hosted by DJ Scream, features include Chief Keef, Lil Durk, Waka Flocka, Wale and more. Titles and download after the jump.

Pretty slick moves underwater there, Hodgy. Off his Untitled 2 EP, Hodgy Beats and his fellow MellowHype ace keep their gathering full of booze, smoke and hoes. Um, thanks for the invite.
Kanye West was invited to the land of Borat on Saturday to perform at a private wedding at the Almaty’s Hotel Royal Tulip. The performance was for the grandson of Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev. According to TMZ, Ye was reportedly paid around $3 million for the performance. Yeezus!
Round of applause for the Kang. As of last week, his LP Trouble Man: Heavy Is The Head has surpassed the 500,000 mark in sales. Congrats! Available on iTunes here.
From the pearly gates comes down Nelly’s uplifting new single featuring Daley. Off his forthcoming album M.O. dropping on September 30.
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.
