What’s this? Cam accepting an inside-the-book-feature and giving VIBE a photo shoot?! Lord knows, I know that ain’t easy to make happen. Are there ever enough Killa quotables? Plus NY Times respected scribe, Jon Carmanica is a byline you can trust. Act like you know. I think that Rihanna issue needs to be in your bathroom asap. Keep print alive!

According to Soundscan, there’s roughly three million delusional Weezy fans. So to them, consider this an early Christmas gift. Here are four cuts from The Drought Is Over 7.

This week, Peter’s boy demands his respect over Trev’s “Conglomerate.”
“I kept a knife in my belongings, lil’ doosie in my Timbo/Cause I’m as big as Lil Boosie with the toolie, though, I’m Kimbo.”

B.Dot’s favorite magazine turns two and Trevor doesn’t have to touch ole girl to get the front page. Magazines are dying every day, but the Drama King is still livin’ his Black Hugh Hefner dream. Smh.

Yesterday at the White House Easter Egg Roll, Fergie Roseanne Barr’s the National Anthem. Keep your eyes on the first granny. At the :54 mark, she whisper something into her neighbors ear. It’s hard to make it out, I think she said, “This white girl can’t sang.” *giggles*

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.
