It’s hard to find rap news on the Internets today since all anyone wants to talk about is Paula Abdul gettin’ the boot last night. Oh pardon me, she has a Twitter account—she quit American Idol! Anyways, I can’t believe this actually really happened, but Arsenio’s ex-boo used to get her hip-hop on with an animated rappin’ cat. That’s right. She was so big at the time, the gimmick even got its own record deal. Hey, don’t say YN doesn’t teach the kids.

Well, I will. In case you ain’t know so, last night on Twitter, Fabolous was a lil’ P.O.’d that the fine folks at Harris Publications gave his new album, Loso’s Way an overall “L” rating. The review is broken into three categories. For its beats and originality, it received the aforementioned grade. For lyrics, he clocked in a notch higher at “XL.” Now I’ve sat with the album, and personally, I think it’s a fair assessment. Like scribe Sean A. Malcolm stated, the album has a “loosely weaved storyline.” Do away with “Imma Do It”, chop the love songs, tighten the sequence and you perhaps you’d have a better CD. But hey what do I know. Afterall, you do have the #1 album in the country. Pop some Nuvo champagne and don’t sweat the technique. Now, as for that movie…

Turn up the bass! According to this heatrock, Kurupt and Daz are gonna put a whole album out with the production stylings of Hi-Tek. I can dig it if it follows a similar path of the first offering. Funny hearing Dillinger gettin’ his mixtape DJ on over the top of the mix. I hope that’s just on this early leak. Either way, throw the dub up like EW!

Who called Curtis a Heartless Monster? (Wait, he did.) Anyhow, he was kind enough to get SB a tour bus for a recent born day present. Now, the modest young tyke can record his album in peace. Eureka!

Lord have mercy. First we’ve dealt with the ladies who bared their kids on BET and now it looks like Weezy and Tip’s actual seeds are gettin’ their shine on too with a reality show revolving around their singing group. According to Ace Showbiz, 10-year-old Reginae Carter and Tiny’s 11-year-old Zonnique Pullins are in a band called OMG Girls along with two offspring from a member of forgotten R&B group, Silk. Backed by Ish Entertainment (the company that did T.I.’s Road To Redemption), I’m sure they’ll be securing a deal soon. Hey, guess it’s a family affair. Don’t invite Joe Jackson.
Sidebar: In case you don’t know, these were actually the lil’ girls on stage during Young Money’s controversial perfomance of “Every Girl” at the BET Awards. See it all comes together.

Nick Cannon ain’t got no ether for Marshall, so Hot 97’s new morning show had to step up and defend MC and her lambs. My oh my, the things that LD can get away with now that he doesn’t work for Shade 45. Smh. Hey, I find it humorous. Let’s see how the Real Rosenberg feels. Uh oh © Ja Rule.

With the America’s Most Wanted Tour hittin’ T-Dot, you knew the hometown boy had to hobble out, pay respects, and perform. When is that surgery again?

Contrary to my wife’s belief, I haven’t for a long time crushed over Miss Rogers, especially since she married her manager. And I’m even less enamored with “Heard ‘Em All.” This is some fake B bullshit. Now I’m no turncoat, I still got my “Why R U” pom poms out (remix and all) but miss me with this wack shit.

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.
