Well according to the clip above, it’s because he has no fear, homie. Yup, you still have to wait for BISD, but Curtis’ new book with acclaimed author Robert Greene is droppin’ in a few days (Sept 8th). In the words of Kris Parker, “Take the pillow from your head and put a book in it.” Ha! Spotted: 57th Ave Previously: RR Exclusive: The 50th Law Foreword Excerpt Update: Uh oh, C.J. got […]
This afternoon, I finally found time to quickly thumb through this Chronic re-issue. I really hate the way Tha Row recycles the same classic product over and over and over again. Still, the promise of seven unreleased tracks was enough to intrigue me. Well, I shouldn’t have bothered. I especially don’t like the way they butchered the Snoop joint, “Poor Young Dave” with some cheesy-ass baseline added on top. So I dug in my digital crates, and here you go, […]
Time to wave goodbye. Today, a New Jersey judge threw the book at Max B and sentenced the crooner to 75 years in jail in connection to a murder and robbery four years ago. Max’s stepbrother was sentenced to LIFE plus 35 years for his role in the crime. Props: NJ

Lloyd explains why he asked for his release from The Inc. He says that his label wasn’t returning his calls nor has he spoken to Irv in over a year. Props to Lloyd for taking his career in own hands. Sometimes if you want something done, you got it do it yourself. And if Street Love was any indication of that, he’s headed on the right path. That album was muy bueno. Heads Up: RTD Previously: Lloyd Wants To Leave […]
From the pages of the October 2009 XXL, Jigga tells Bonsu Thompson that he’s not feeling Jimmy’s track. Understood, but you’re one of the few rappers whose movement is still followed by artists old and young. How conscious are you of that position? …Like I said, if the genre needs the game to be stretched out, ‘cause you have those guys who are 35 years old trying to make the smiley face or whatever, competing with Soulja Boy. Ha! That’s […]
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.
