Damn, reports say a legendary forefather to hip-hop has passed away. He was 62. We will pay homage next week in the Breaks section. Hip-Hop reacts on the tragic news after the jump. Rest In Peace, Gil.

Before hitting up Soundclash in the UK, Just and Al chopped it up earlier with Sumit. Just recalls an MC battle at Rutgers in 1997 and rapping with Craig G. Midway through the clip, the pair kicks some bars and sing a song for Jay Electronica.

Thanks to DJ Khaled’s camera phone, check out some photos from the video set for his current single with Drake, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne. We see you Baby and Mack. In my professional opinion, Drizzy should replace Ross and Weezy’s verses and release it as a remix on his album Take Care.

Karen Civil was on location for Meek Mill and Rick Ross’ new clip shot in Los Angeles. Before the video’s debut, here’s some unedited footage. Previously: On The Set

Just in case you forgot, Memphis Bleek reinforces the age ol’ motto on this new cut. The Process coming soon.

You kids be careful out there this weekend. LOL. Ty Kidd Previously: City Slicker

No plagiarizing here. Daniel Simmons does more than just right click and left click for the first single off his upcoming debut album dropping on Atlantic. This kid is off to a good start.
