The homie Adam Aziz who once worked for Cliff’s StreetCred.com breaks down what the big homie needs to focus on during his time away.
5. WRITE
Countless rappers have written some of their most vivid, emotional and real lyrics while in prison including the late, great 2Pac Shakur. T.I. should throw himself into songwriting and let his feelings about his current position play out on paper…and then in the studio when he gets out. It’s going to be tough for T.I. to write anything resembling happy music while he’s locked behind the walls with people telling him when he eats and goes outside. Selfishly this should give T.I. fans some powerful lyrics once he’s released. Songs like “No Matter What” and “You Ain’t Missin’ Nothin'” were just a glimpse of how deep TIP could get.

A version of this leaked a few weeks ago and Da Capo quickly shut it down. Don’t remember if it had Damon Dash’s son Boogie DJing and a Beyonce lookalike with booty-shakin’ back-up dancers. Hov still on your mind much? Ha!

His boss will turn himself in a few but Bobby Ray trudges on. Freakin’ those “Bonita Applebum” drums, this is the full length of Bob’s Reebok Classic Remix collection contribution. I ain’t mad at this.

Female rap game ain’t been the same since Lauryn Hill went loco. But hey it’s her birthday, let’s honor the legacy. Damn shame.

Swagger jackin’ Weezy, my dude SB visited the morning buzzards at ABC. Look at Barbara Walters askin’ about the sophomore jinx and dude checkin’ her on her gold earrings. Hilarity!



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.
