Pardon Bill’s hyperbole, but nothing comes close to the conditions in Haiti. Prior to the quake, the nation was (is) the poorest in the Western Hemisphere. In 2008, 80% of the population lived under the poverty line. Obviously, that number’s since increased. Third world democracy, indeed. LupeEnd

Yesterday afternoon, producer Devo Springsteen called his cousin’s forthcoming album, “inspiring.” Back in December, Ye recited a new verse at the Nokia Theater, then gushed about his new tunes on his blog. If Devo’s review is accurate, it’ll take a nation of millions to hold us back.
“We messed their show up pretty bad last year. They might be a little mad at me.” Earlier today, Robyn told Carson Daly’s Amp Radio show that she won’t be performing at the Grammy’s this Sunday.

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.
