[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3588672&w=425&h=350&fv=] At tonight’s gig in Norway, Hov gave his first performance of the final track on BP3. Unfortunately, it’s just a lil’ tease. Guess somebody wants to keep his job. Props: Whoever taught Neil Armstrong how to use his computer? This guy’s outta control today. Ha.
Earlier today, Fabolous questioned the motives of 50 Cent’s Thisis50 Fest concert via Twitter. Yesterday, I speculated that 50 was applying Law #2 from the 48 Laws Of Power. I was called a cynic. 24 hours later, Fif responded to Fab’s inquiry with the same excerpt. Told you, I wasn’t crazy! Broken Cool via Thisis50
This afternoon on Hot 97, Joe Crack told Angie Martinez that he loved 50 Cent and thanked him for promoting J.O.S.E. 2. Ay dios mio.
Now I believe it. A Clinton Correctional Facility staffer confirmed his release. I think The God deserves time to lay low. Remember that ODB VH1 show? Life is deeper than rap. CBS Update: Uh oh. Not so fast.
The final sales numbers of Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel are being tallied as I type but from the early projections, it’s not looking good. Still even if Mariah Carey falls short of having a number one album in the country there are still plans to push her latest product. In fact, Rap Up has found out a top-secret remix album is already in the works. So far only Trey Songz (who would show up to a Rap Radar kickball […]
At a fancy schmancy charity event that he threw last night, Ne-Yo took it to the stage. Here’s a medley of him performing three huge hits he wrote for B, Ri-Ri, and Mario. I imagine those are some nice checks, son.

Royce and Busta eat, eat, eat MC’s on this new heater off 5’9’s Street Hop. No room for seconds. Again: NR
After years of bickering, Crooked I and Snoop finally bury the hatchet. Commencing their bond is this new cut off Crook’s Mr. Pig Face Weapon Waist EP. Props NR via UHTN
Word on the street…and the tweets, is that Moses is finally parting from the bing today after serving eight years. While sitting in Clinton Correctional, he severed ties with Bad Boy and signed his Gangland imprint to Def Jam. Two months later, he released his sophomore album, Godfather Buried Alive. But therein lied a problem. How do you promote an album when the artist is incarcerated? Well, the crafty folks at Def Jam found a way. Not only did he […]
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.
