In a conversation with VIBE, the Chef reveals some of the guest appearances on his September release, Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang. “Method Man, Ghostface, Inspectah Deck, and GZA all appear on the album. At the same time I got some other guys involved like [The Roots’] Black Thought—I love his talent. I think that when it comes to him delivering what level I wanted to go he was […]

Lord have mercy, Jesus Christ. Despite the string of underwhelming tunes, Shyne covers one half of XXL‘s September issue. The other features Young Jeezy.

Even though Drake didn’t get Andre 3000 on his debut, he’s still his biggest fan. In fact, he tells PAPER about the shrine he has in his crib dedicated to the rapper. On how he honors his mentor, Andre 3000 from Outkast: I have a shrine in my apartment dedicated to Andre.

Although Rick Ross’ Teflon Don hits stores tomorrow, we’ve had an advance copy for a couple of days now. After examining the album art, I noticed that the rapper MC Hammer (K. Burrell) was credited on the self titled track. Even though he didn’t write on the record, he earns royalties for the interpolation of “Too Legit Too Quit”. You know, the part when Ross says, “Started selling dough, I’m too legit to quit ?” That’s a check. Fuck you, […]

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.
