[sparkart-clique site=”rap_radar” video=”camvadotdot”] Pardon Cam and Vado’s back, but on Saturday, YN caught the Harlem duo at Little X’s 9th annual Caribana Bash. Killa ran through his long list of hits and capped it off with Jomo’s first single, “Salute”.
Beans performed at Sonar in B-More last night and was back to his ol’ tricks. Once again, he threw Jay-Z under the bus and with Freeway in house, mumbled Hov’s verse on “What We Do”. Will it ever end? Additional footage after the jump. thanks: KoreyK
Noreaga and Termanology were guests on Statik Selektah’s Show Out Radio and ripped a couple pages from their rhyme books. Pass the nutcracker and go in!
[sparkart-clique site=”rap_radar” video=”drakejay”] Just when the crowd thought things couldn’t get any crazier with Marshall’s presence, the big homie Hov came through at the end. Man, this night was one for the hip-hop history books. Haters be damned!
[sparkart-clique site=”rap_radar” video=”drakeem”] Drizzy Drake took puttin’ on for your city to a whole other level as he brought a slew of stars out in support of his first October’s Very Own festival. He even got Eminem on a plane and on stage to deliver “Forever”. The building shook! Amazing!
Nas and Damian were in the home of Biggie and Jay yesterday at the Williamsburg Waterfront. They performed several cuts off Distant Relatives and Nas’ solo albums. Additional footage after the jump. thi
[sparkart-clique site=”rap_radar” video=”rick_rossbmf”] After Wale did his one-two thing, Rick Ross surprised the crowd with his own set. As seen in the video, he came out to a thunderous ovation as he performed this season’s biggest hit. Larry Hoover and Big Meech are having the worst best summer ever.
Following J.Cole’s interviews with 102 Jamz in Greensboro, NC he left the station with a few bars over “Affirmative Action”. This is what they want, huh? hhnm

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.
