Everyone’s current favorite rapper spoke to the 1515 boys about the reception of his mixtape, So Far Gone and not fitting in.
“I used to be so self conscious about the strikes against me like you know, coming from Canada, being on a TV show, and being like you know, super light skinned…But now, it gives me a chance to really accept that I am something different, I am something new. And now, I see it more as an opportunity to be really like, well, I don’t have to be the next ‘Ye or the next Wayne. I can just be the first Drake.”
YN Update: I want to make some Super Light Skinned T-shirts! Put Paul on the phone!
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.
