“It was more so of when dude went away, did his little time or whatever
— he came back. The shit was squashed. I wasn’t trippin’ on him. I was
getting my money on. I was done with it. I was on my grind. I wasn’t
really paying attention what was going on [with Gucci]. But as you
know, Slick Pulla is locked up. A few of my partners that I really been
down with since day one. He started taking shots on his little
mixtapes. I was really kinda done with it, because on ‘Stay Strapped,’
I killed him with one verse. To make a long story short, I’m tired of
the bullshit, because I know him. He ain’t like that. To be honest, I
don’t have a problem with Gucci because I wear it — I have a problem
with Radric.”






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.
