Jay’s right hand man, explains why he chose not to sign to his Roc Nation label. In this case, money isn’t a major issue. “I coulda went to Roc Nation, but then what am I getting out of that? Another $150,000 check advance, then I come out [and] sell 300,000 probably, somebody makes two or three million, and I gotta mess with the fact that they gon’ say yo you bricked out? Like that’s the industry. And that’s [with a […]

Game’s unbelievable.
Last night, Lupe Fiasco responded to Yellow Nigga’s “Blackout” rant at his home base. Sorry folks, but there’s no “beef”. As the saying goes, opinions are like— well, you know, and everyone has one. Even YN. Personally, I’m ambivalent towards Lupe’s music. One minute, I’m totally engrossed. (see: “Hip-Hop Saved My Life”) The next, I’m completely lost in translation (see: “Shining Down”). Despite Elliott’s gripes, we’ve got a job to do. Personal feelings go the way of Ron Browz. At […]
DJ Enuff is experiencing a crucial conflict. On his blog yesterday afternoon, the Heavy Hitter put himself through the ringer for not playing Jay Electronica’s “Exhibit C” on your Hot Nine Seven. Since Enuff’s taking suggestions, here’s my two cents. Screw the politics and go with your gut. If a record’s dope, play it. Let’s not forget, the DJ is the soul controller. With several hundred spins, a song can go from “Ok” to “That’s my shit!” Don’t second guess. […]

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.
