Was I nervous at first with thoughts of how could I ever live up to the past standard of groundbreaking excellence and not disappoint today’s wide-eyed audience? A lil at first but then the shit just came to me. It always does. Guess it’s a gift that keeps on giving. Feliz Navidad, kids.
Haters are gon hate and ballers are gon ball. As for the L.E.P. Bogus Boys, they’re going to maintain their consistency with new material. With that said, here’s a new clip from the Lower End Professionals directed by Da Visionaryz. Cheers!

[vodpod id=Video.5115123&w=425&h=350&fv=%26rel%3D0%26border%3D0%26] HHC caught up with producer Pete Rock this past weekend and during their conversation, he mentioned that he would be releasing five albums in 2011 including one with Camp Lo and another with CL Smooth.

Ja Rule finally had his day in court this morning to answer to his 2007 gun charge. He faced four years in prison, but according to MTV’s Jayson Rodriguez, he copped a plea deal of two years. Moments after, Ja tweeted the following:
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.
