When Noreaga appeared on the Morning After With Angela Yee last week, he recounted throwing up on Cam’Ron while performing at famed NY club, The Tunnel. That’s just sick!

Snoop returned to daytime television today on the soap opera, One Life To Live. I’m too heterosexual to follow the premise, but he plays himself and performs later. He even remixed the theme song. Our sincerest apologies if both vids are a bit choppy.

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.
