The homies at the TSS just put me on to this footage. Uploaded by Forbez DVD a couple days ago, it’s Juvenile and B.G. joining Lil Wayne on stage during his I Am Music Tour. You can even see Drake on stage. Check out Weezy bowin’ down to Juve and Baby huggin’ B.G. Never thought I’d see that again. Too bad this reunion ain’t never gonna happen. Belie’ that © Birdman

Auto-Tune’s poster boys phone in with NigelD and address Shawn C.’s Napalm Bomb, “D.O.A.”
Yes, gentleman using Auto-Tune in 2009 is trite. To quote Mr. Dennis Coles, “Get your own shit and be original!” How can the music evolve if everyone is doing the same thing? What works for the goose doesn’t always work for the gander. You see Webstar, even if your record plays on the radio every five minutes, it doesn’t mean that it’s good. What it means is that it’s locked into the listeners memory thanks to repetition. “Dancing On Me” may be your only record using Auto-Tune, but I doubt the other songs are raising the bar in hip-hop. There’s nothing wrong with “dance” records, as long as they’re not executed cheesy. As for Browz, I think your hip-hop contributions are best left on the MPC. But hey, what do I know. I’m just a rap fan.
After the jump, No I.D. adds his 2 Cents.
Cash Money’s latest Millionaire has a belly laugh and asthma attack on this new cut. Someone call a medic.

About two hours ago, Kanye appeared on Barber Walters’ morning gig and discussed his mothers passing, Chris Allen’s “Heartless” cover and touring with Lady Gaga this fall. At the 7:06 mark, he drops a quick eight bars.
The animal right freaks over at PETA recently sent Clifford a kite in reference to joining their “Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” campaign. Personally, I’m waiting for the “Rather Go Naked Than Wear Yeezys” movement to take flight.

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.
