Ha! I think the Jigga Man would disagree. This was lifted from Gawker and published two weeks before Rap Radar launched on March 9th. That’s right, y’all today marks 100 days since the Double R set up shot. Take that Barack!
From the very beginning, we were destined to fail. But you know what they say, with success breeds envy. Hell, whether you agreed or disagree with Vibe‘s list, from day uno, RR made headlines with Lil’ Kim and B.I.G.’s paranormal relationship, T.I. fronting on ghostwriting for Dr. Dre, and The Dream defending his main squeeze. Not a bad introduction into the game I’d say.
But in all honesty, no matter how many stories or songs we break, our success isn’t confined within the walls of the Rap Radar mansion. Take a look to the right of your screen and scroll down the list of sites we barter content from daily. Without them, we wouldn’t be squat. Special shouts to Eskay and Miss Info fast…and even Bol‘s bum ass. Hate it or love, the underdogs on top. Be clear, this is not a victory lap. We’ve still got plenty of work ahead. Rap Radar is where YN lives. Hip-Hop’s got a bigger house on the top of the hills. Let’s get it!

Here’s the untagged version of Nas’ cut with Swizz. What’s up with all the recycled material as of late? Gheesh.

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.
