This morning, Waka made the cut as the eighth Hottest MC In The Game. A little while ago, he phoned in with MTV, and was surprised he made the list. We weren’t. “I just looked at it right now in the airport on Twitter, I swear to God. I was like, got-damn! Oh, shit, I made it! Hell yeah, I was [surprised]. Come on, man, I never thought I’d be on something like that. Not yet. It’s so soon.”
We felt this coming in the air. According to AP, Rihanna has severed ties with manager Marc Jordan and has joined Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Management.

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.

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.
