Judging by his flow and voice, it sounds like an old unreleased track that got leaked. Still enjoyable, nonetheless. Spotted: UHTN
Truthfully, Angela Yee gave me the tip on this one Monday but I couldn’t confirm. Curtis did the honors in Houston while making the radio rounds. At the 1:20 mark, he claims that Tahiry isn’t the only one in the “Do You Think About Me” video. A reunion with Vivica Fox? He might be on to somethin’. ThisIs50

At the end of the day B, Chris Brown appeared on 106 & Park today before a live studio audience. Rocsi puts Chris through the ringer as he reacts to Rihanna’s 20/20 interview and proves his penitence.
A fellow colleague of mine, Matt Diehl caught a screening in L.A. of QD3’s Lil Wayne flick and he’s waving his thumbs as high as your eyes can see. The following will make you wanna see it too. At the beginning of the film, a title card apologizes for the fact that the filmmakers were never able to sit down and have a formal interview with Weezy, and that he withdrew his support from the film. Well, they shouldn’t have […]
Yesterday at Northwestern University in Illinois, Lupe recited Muhammad Ali’s 1967 speech against the Vietnam War. The reenactment was part of The History Channel’s “The People Speak” documentary series. Below is a transcription of the monologue. “Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on Brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights?

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.
