Continuing my convo with Mr. Thanksgiving, we speak on the other delinquent mixtape that Da Snowman promised, Chris Brown, T.I., and how this Philly cat overcame the big bust three years ago. Time flies! Previously: YN vs. DJ Drama (Pt.1)
Ever since that snippet leaked, I’ve been fiendin’ to hear the full song of this. After a lil coaxing, Boi let my pick for his next single loose through the Stankonia walls. Be clear: There’s a version with T.I. but on this one he goes for dolo. Now that’s a win-win.
“I’m not lookin’ at you dudes, I’m lookin’ past you” The two Jays weren’t the only ones workin’ together in the ATL on Saturday night. During SC’s set, Songz came out and helped out on hook duties for BP1’s track 8 and BP3’s track 11. Claim your shoes, fools. YN wears 12. Can’t fill ’em.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but this might be the first time E-40 addressed this in detail. On The All Out Show with Rude Jude and Lord Sear, 40 Water spoke on his run-in with Biggie. Back in 1996, B.I.G. disrespected him in a Canadian magazine. When Big made his way to the Bay, 40 allegedly put a hit on him. Once their beef was dissolved, he says was set to appear on Biggie’s Life After Death.
[sparkart-clique site=”rap_radar” video=”neighbors_know_my_name”] Power 105.1 got the green light to premiere Trey’s new music video. That red light is oh so special.
Security met its match last month during Gorilla Zoe’s gig in South Carolina. When security attempts to the end his set at the 1:36 mark, Zoe goes apeshit. Don’t feed the animals! Ozone
By the time March 9th rolls around, Luda’s Battle Of The Sexes will be resolved on the ‘net. Here’s yet another leak from the LP with a lending hand from Trigga Tha Singer. UHTN & GG
The Doggfather is featured on the title track of the English virtual band’s third album. This sho is funky. Betcha Big Boi will dig it. Ha. NR got the full album steam. 2DB has a rip of the second track that Mos Def is guesting on. Open your mind! Previously: “Stylo”
Talib and Hi-Tek form like Voltron on the latest leak off, Revolutions Per Minute. This was also featured on their mixtape The RE:Union earlier this year. Truth be told, it still sounds good.
Lil Wayne held his final going-away party last night at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami. Apparently, he, Bow Wow and Amber Rose weren’t the only stars in attendance. Birdman completed his constellation with four new tats on his scalp. Twinkle, twinkle with two more photos after the jump. Birdman’s A Star
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.
