Kaseem reflects on staying relevant for over a decade in the above clip and later, the 1515 Boys got him to snitch on Blueprint 3, working with DMX again, and why he decided to fall back on rhymin’ for now. Thanks heavens.

Last night on Letterman, Puff told a funny story about MJ crashin’ one of his parties to holler at a pre-Hov’d-up gal from H-Town. Between this and the “mystery son,” now all of sudden Joe’s baby boy was a mack. Who knew?

See, it doesn’t take a rapper to get shot or arrested to make front page news! Read here to check out J.Cole’s interview with North Carolina’s The Fayetteville Observer on his hometown’s nickname.
The battle against “Fayettenam” may be lost.
City leaders for years have fought the nickname that many believe conjures up the bad old days – the downtown strip clubs, the prostitutes, the riotous drinking – i.e the gummy underside of the otherwise positive presence of Fort Bragg. Not to mention the connection with America’s most controversial war.
But to some people, Fayettenam is just a cool way of referring to Fayetteville. For emerging rapper J. Cole, “Fayettenam” is one of two ways he refers to the city where he grew up, at least in his songs. The other is “the ‘Ville.”
If J. Cole’s career turns out like some industry types and rap Web sites believe it will, he will have youngsters from coast to coast calling our city Fayettenam.
“If I say it in a rhyme, nine times out of 10, I’m going to say ‘Fayettenam’ instead of ‘Fayetteville,’ ” he told me by phone. “The people I’m trying to reach gravitate to that.”

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.
