“And I’m headed for AZ. Anybody feel me?”
Last night, Hov saluted Obama on his first 100 days.
Hopefully better footage is on the way. By the way, it looks like Jay rocked camouflage shorts on stage. Guess it was hot in that bitch. Ha!

Truth be told, “Maybach 2” instrumental is just as good, if not better than the song. Too bad when producers speak, most rap fans tune out (R.I.P. Scratch).
Also for the true music connoisseurs, here’s a recent intv J.L. did with VIBE.
Spotted: N.A.H. Right via H.H.O.

“You try to get your money up well it’s time too/ Cause every other cat on the block is on the grind too/ Lookin’ to catch your ass slippin’ right behind you/ Catchin’ you makin’ bacon and lay you down like the swine flu/ Damn, somebody pass me a face mask/ ‘Cause I ain’t tryin’ to catch a late pass from your fake ass.”
Bun B blacks out on the Clipse-Kanye collabo.

This reminds me, DJ Wonder and I were at the radio station the other day, talkin’ about the gift and the curse of this song. Kanye’s verse sounds like an old freestyle from a Tapemasters Inc. mixtape and the beat Khalil did, sounds like a vintage ‘Ye track. I need that instrumental like yesterday.

“We ain’t go to Venezuela to feed the monkeys.”
Apparently MTV was pre-taped and this is Ricky’s true victory speech live from St. Martin where he’s apparently vacationing with his Carol City conglomerate.
I got two questions:
1) Do real gangstas rock pink Air Yeezy’s?
2) Three #1 albums in a row is a great accomplishment, but is 158 K really somethin’ to brag about?
Sometimes, Yellow Nigga just gets confused.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

My former fellow light-skinded XXL blogger is ready to share after the jump.

Here’s a match made in hell. La Flare throws his vocals over BEP’s “Boom Boom Pow”. I expect to hear about five more of these “remixes” by week’s end.

Update: Guess I was right about those remixes. And their, official too!

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.
