I’ve never seen this guy do this much promo. Must be workin’ though. 300K in a second week? MTV hand over that Hottest MC crown. Anyways, I usually cringe when rappers do these strange international shows. I’m gonna close my eyes, you tell me how it goes. I suppose I can watch… later. Props: Jay-Z World
Kinda! Shock headline alert. It was Mr. Raymond’s music. Specifically, this tune playin’ in the backdrop when Miss Keri’s panties dropped and she made love for the very first time. No word on whether hickeys were exchanged. For those stumbling with their math, it was eight years ago. Born in ’82, she was 19. You know, I’m starting to buy her goody two-shoes act. How dumb am I? SMH. Props: Q Deezy
Today, Boosie Boo plead guilty to gun and drug charges and was sentenced to two years in the slammer. Luckily, he could serve less than a year for good behavior. Better not set it off in that bitch. Props: AUM
[sparkart-clique site=”rap_radar” video=”drake_forever”] Took forever. Enjoy, but don’t believe the Hype.

Spotted: 57th Ave Sidebar: More snitchin’ from Fuck Boy’s set.
From the Vibe vaults, Afeni’s son credits Bad Boy for instilling his Thug Life philosophy after getting shot at Quad Studios. Pac then segues into sales figures between his All Eyez On Me and B.I.G.’s Ready To Die. See, 50 wasn’t the only one checking SoundScan.

Gargamel appeared on Renada Romain’s Hip-Hop Nation morning show and big’d up Hov for his impact on the game. Contrarily, he cringed when discussing the current state of Dancehall music. Lawdamercy! On Jay-Z On Dancehall
This is the official first single off T-Pain’s new album, RevolveR (The last capital R ain’t a mistake). The shit should be really called “Take Your Muthafuckin’ Shirt Off.” And I can dig it. It’s funky and crunky like Lil Jon in his prime. The “Is autotune really dead?” line ain’t even necessary as the song uses just a touch of the effect in the song’s bridge. Yup, it’s strong on its own two. Looks like Faheem’s gonna survive the […]
Look who made the cut. Ha! “Forever” video premieres today on 106 & Park.
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.
