“The problem is he’s probably the biggest movie star on the planet.” During a sit-down for DJ Hero, Mr. Townes details the difficulties of gettin’ Mr. Smith back in the stu. Not gonna happen anytime soon, but I could see it goin’ down one day. Still, you gotta applaud the boys from Philly for staying friends for all these years. Plus you know “Summertime” still knocks, kids.
Here’s some mo’ unreleased goodness from Chocolate City’s finest. Attention Deficit Executive Producer Mark Ronson liberated this one himself on his radio show.

Instead, another look at Juelz filming the first single of his often-delayed project. In this clip, Da Capo pops up and lets it be known that Dip Set were very selective about the young ladies allowed to participate in the final product. It’s The LIFE Update: But you-know-who made it. Big shocker!

“You a slave to a page in my rhyme book.” We posted some footage from this show about a month ago. Missing was this recently released clip of the Virgos gettin’ it in on Esco’s heat rock from God’s Son. Pardon, the clean edits. You can still do the Wop. No Jada? It’s ok.

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.
