Breaking up is hard to do. But Robin Thicke helps ease the pain with Lil Wayne in his new video. The visual is straight, but the song is perfect. Pretty ill how his scatty flow meshes with the acoustic backdrop. Buy Love After War here.
Lil Wayne pulled a no-show last night on Jimmy Kimmel’s program. But as they say, the show must go on. Instead of canceling the segment, he threw a wig on a studio audience member and told him to pretend to be Weezy. Ingenious idea, Jimmy. brokencool

Here’s something we all can fuck with. Freddie keeps the neighborhood hoes on speed dial with his new cut featuring Problem and his fellow CTE 211. It ain’t no fun if the homies can’t have none. bootlegkev

During his visit on DJ Green Lantern’s Invasion Radio show, Boss Lady puts Kirko on the spot for a freestyle. Yea, he’s a tad off beat, but at least it was off the top. Hey, Maino liked it.

About a week ago, 360 hit Converse’s Rubber Tracks Studio out in Brooklyn. He doesn’t say what he recorded, but we’re pretty sure we’ll hear the results soon. On a related note, Steve Stoute’s URL just threw up his take on the Tanning of America.
We smell a comeback. Last night at the Warner Theater in the nation’s capital, Ms. Hill debuted her track, “Fearless Vampire Killer.” The footage isn’t the best, but it sounds like she’s onto something. Only time (and a CDQ rip) will tell. prefix via hhdx
Estelle returned to the Late Show With David Letterman the other night and performed her hit “Thank You” before a live studio audience. If you like what you hear, All Of Me in stores now.
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.
