So in honor of Sir Juice, I’ve begun the painful process of diggin’ through my old dusty cassettes to see if I have a gem or two for you. Here’s what sounds like Biz Mark’s first radio interview ever. Yup, I do it for hip-hop. Why would you even try to compete? Ha. Sidebar: Miss Info has the funeral arrangements.
Fuck me, I never noticed Russell and Lyor’s birthdays were a day apart. That’s some spooky shit. Here’s the GG account from last night’s party. Yes, while 50 was making nice with all the NY rappers, Lyor Cohen was celebrating his 50th. Ha. Middle finger salute! Don’t forget Amber!
The Godfather is 52 today. Salute! Whatchu kids know about Def Jam history?
And now, for the main event. Accompanied by his G-Unit brethren, 50 hit the stage and performed an endless supply of hits. In fact, he was so amped, he threw his leather jacket in the crowd. Towards the middle of set, he allowed them boys from Yonkers to do their one-two things. Later came Maino. Unfortunately, Flip Cams aren’t built for six hour concerts. Sorry Jermaine.

With his own camera in hand, it was Jimmy’s turn to turn it up a notch. Along with Santana Bandana, the tandem ran through some Dipset classics and even “Pop Champagne” with Ron Browz. Mazel Tov.
[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3568962&w=425&h=350&fv=] Initially when this song dropped, I panned it as “underwhelming.” Well, after the thousandth spin on my Hot nine-seven, its stuck in my head. I need a brain wash. With that said, check out a behind-the-scenes look from the video shoot. Props: 305
As I scrambled for the Flip Cam, Crooked I was already on his verse from “Sound Off”. But don’t fret, “Woodstock (Hood Hop)” and “The One” are captured in full after the jump.
“I want the money. I want the cars. I want the clothes. I want the ho’s” Aw Bobby, I fuckin’ feel ya. According to X, this track is two years old. Luckily for us, B.o.B. makes timeless music. Enjoy. Sidebar: If you’re in the NY area, B.o.B. is performing tonight at the Highline Ballroom. Oh, oh alright!
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.
