Is this is the end? Yes indeed is. Dips finished the three hour showathon in style. One Just Blaze classic and their latest heatrock. Thank you very much for coming out. Good night. God Bless!
Clearly the best moment of the whole show was the salute to the late Huddy Combs. Cam and a choir? Eric Clapton? Just watch.
Apparently a fuckin’ fight broke out during the crew’s performance of “Oh Boy”. Cam’s commentary is hilarious. Oh well, the show must go on. Right, squallie? Ha!
You knew Killa was gonna bring out his latest protege during his turn. Vado and his mentor run through “Well All Up In Here” and “Speakin’ Tongues”. And yes, Johnny Nunez was there to shoot the whole thing. Slime Time!
During Elz’s set he brought his nephew Ja out to recreate “S.A.N.T.A.N.A.” and later the little tyke even taught his uncle how to dougie. The Dips love the kids!
After opening the show as a group, each individual member of the Dips got to do their individual sets. During the Capo’s one, he brought Black Rob to the stage. Tunnel Time! That’s two Harlem niggas for you. Bonus below: Ryan Leslie and his guitar. Ha!
Of course I had to make my way down to NY’s Hammerstein Ballroom again. This time to witness three straight hours of Dipset Mania. Like Mikey and Info, I got my record on and I’m gonna post some of my favorite highlights of the wild and crazy night. Here Hell Rell and JR Writer join the Dips for one of my favorite joints from their catalogue. Goonies!

Check out more clips after the cut. Sidebar: Behind the scenes photos & video.
[vodpod id=Video.4998448&w=425&h=350&fv=] In Jerusalem, Moses Levi tells CNN the story of his transition from nine years in prison to his religious conversion. “I am not rapping about Kadish or Shabbat shalom – that’s not the music I make. It’s really just a change in direction – the anger is still there, you dig? The outrage is sill there at the profanity and obscenity of poverty. I am still angry that people are suffering in Palestine, the people who aren’t terrorists. I am angry (Israeli soldier) […]
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.
