Although my back hurts and these niggas didn’t go on til 1:45 am, YN really enjoyed the show last night. Mos Def and Talib Kweli were in top form with Black Star album tracks, freestyles over classic breaks, and their biggest solo joints. And yes I shot the whole fuckin’ thing. Mucho footage on the way.

Remember that 106 and Jay episode BET did awhile back? They fucked up and aired the same 45 minute segment—twice! Ha! Anyways, that’s the only time I recall Jay performin’ “Big Pimpin'” with both members of UGK. Bun B can prolly correct me if I’m wrong. Maybe it’s just the only time that we have footage of it. Enjoy. R.I.P., The Pimp.
Previously: Pimp C Passed on Jay-Z’s “A Week Ago”

B.Dot would never post this. Ha! This is actually a pretty good exchange between Busta and your favorite “journalist.” In the first clip, Vlad gets Bus to talk about L.O.N.S. beef with more details than I ever heard before. And after the jump, Trevor tells how Diddy got him to switch his style up and why he packs a machete. That’s right, a machete!
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.
