One mo’ before I head to Jones Beach to see Weezy. Here’s SC schoolin’ the White youth on an RD classic. Who knew you could rock out the classic Isaac Hayes break? Good shit!

Love the band’s breakdown as Jay reminds us of the time when he murdered Kanye on his own shit. After that, well the “Roc Boys” are in the house. What else? Word to Cafe. It’s a celebration, bitches.
Oh yeah I forgot, ask Hov where he got the chain remains line from. It wasn’t Treach. Ha!

“Hey I appreciate y’all stayin’ out in the rain or whatever, fuckin’ up your new sneakers and all that shit.”
Jigga teases us that he’s gonna kick a new verse from BP3 this time, but then goes into his “I’m not talkin’ about Game” bars. Except Jay did tweak a few lines this time if you listen closely. Like a couple of the new flourishes but not the reggae ting at the end mon.

In a stirring opener on par with his Oasis shocker at Glastonbury, Hov paid tribute to MCA and the Beastie Boys (who he replaced on this show) with a remake of a classic from Licensed to Ill. It was a cover performance Hip Hop Honors wish they could have. Ha! Good job, Hov. Hey Village Voice, he was listening.
I’ll put my footage up against anybody’s. No shots.

No Kanye. No Ri-Ri. No problem? Still not a big fan of this joint but cool to see Jay perform a new song for the first time.
When it comes to this rap website shit, who run it?
A developing story, but apparently Drake injured himself at a Young Money concert show last night. Miss Info has some details. More in the morning.
Props to Divine Davy for the TwitPic and THExKM1 for sending it to me.
Update: From the man himself.

While Joe discuses the possibility of having a mistress, his girlfriend Tahiry, divulges on getting punched in the face by the hands of some guy. Perhaps they both agreed on sharing this with the world, but I believe some things are best kept private. Why be exploitative for the sake of a couple hundred YouTube views? Sorry Joey, but if my ol’ lady came home with an eye jammie, a Flip Cam definitely wouldn’t be the first thing I’m reaching for.

After paying homage to the King, Tony Starks and The Chef perform Track 5 off Enter The 36 Chambers. Sigh. Everybody talkin’ bout the good ol’ days.
It's pretty intense reading that Guru released a statement on his health while recovering. Hearing directly from a hip-hop icon after such a scary medical scare gives everyone a massive sigh of relief. You can tell he really values setting the record straight himself. It reminds me of how people want to look and feel their absolute best after going through tough times, whether that's overall wellness or even specific cosmetic refreshes like getting a Blepharoplasty Limassol routine done for a fresh look. Overall, seeing him send love to the fans shows his resilience, and we're all just hoping for a full, speedy recovery for the legend.
