[vodpod id=Video.16081610&w=540&h=350&fv=] MTV kicks off their Hottest MCs In The Game list today. And beating out J.Cole for the number 10 spot is Wale. Wait, they said Cole ain’t hot? You believe that shit?! The Washington D.C. rapper reinvented himself in 2011, claiming a new space in the hip-hop stratosphere after a sound, but commercially disappointing, debut two years earlier. Wale’s tireless work ethic, along with a deal from Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group, were the keys to his success […]

Rappers never retire. And apparently, R&B singers don’t either. A few weeks ago, Jazmine Sullivan revealed via Twitter that she’s working on her third album. Over a year ago, the singer said she was taking a break from the music industry. Welcome back, welcome back, wel—come back.
A$AP Rocky held a sold out show last night in Atlanta. During a meet and greet, he spoke with Maurice Garland for an, um, interesting, interview. How, prolific.
Right before the big show, Toure got the chance to speak with Common on the red carpet. During their conversation, he says that he’s waving the white flag concerning his beef with Drake. When it’s over, it’s over. dajaz1

Killer Mike and his pals unleash the beast with the first offering off his collaborative project, R.A.P. Music (Rebellious African People’s Music) with producer El-P. Damn, this is pretty sick. dgb
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.
