“I guess your mind was playin’ tricks on you like Bushwick Bill.”
Cons invades the R. Les track with some quick bars off top. Does dude have a new mixtape on the way? Holla at YN.

I like BOBO, but wait a minute… Ha! Here’s a pretty extensive look at Mr. Deini during the making of his video to Wizard of Poetry‘s first single. Lots of crispy colors here. That Lacoste bucket is mean. Raheem goes acapulco. And you can’t hear shit at the end. Thanks, Def Jam!
Uh-oh, looks like Kamaal’s calling on Bloomberg’s countrymen to put an end to his incumbency this November. According to Tip’s Twitter account, he gripes that the Mayor is going to “turn the city into the office for rich folk and kick out the middle class/poor folks.” When you consider the gentrification of neighborhoods in Harlem and Brooklyn, Tip isn’t completely off his rocker. Hell the price for a one bedroom in, could feed a third world country. Transportation fare’s up, and let’s not forget about that pesky smoking ban that has eskay in a hissy fit. Screw it, I’m with you Tip. Let’s get someone else to run this town. Rosenthals you down?

The new owners of VIBE deliver the 5th anniversary of their other magazine. And who’s more worthy to grace it than this ATL fella under the umbrella. But does anyone really think Usher’s gonna put out an album anytime soon? With Kells about to catch a brick, the R&B game could use it.

Outta the way Usher. Yesterday, the Black Eyed Peas broke Mr. Raymond’s record for the longest consecutive stay at the top of the Billboard charts. Eclipsing “Burn” and “Yeah!”, B.E.P.’s “Boom Boom Pow” and “I Gotta Feeling” have collectively reached number one for 20 weeks. I’m far from a fan, but that’s one helluva of an accomplishment. I’m sure [insert your favorite rappa here] would sell their soul publishing to achieve that level of success. With that said, check out footage of frontman Will.I.Am speaking on the making of the aforementioned records.

According to ESPN, Cheddar Bob Plaxico agreed to sit his dumb ass in prison for the next two years. The former NY Giants star shot himself in a N.Y. nightclub last year. After his release he will have have two years of supervision. No sympathy here. You do the crime, you do the time. Besides, everyone knows NYC’s super strict when it comes to weapons possession. Shoot, if the D.A. has their way, Ja and Wayne will be sharing a […]
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.
