Eazy-E wasn’t the only hologram at Rock The Bells in L.A. this weekend. On day 2, the late O’l Dirty Bastard was resurrected by the Wu, who even brought out his son, Young Dirty. Like father, like son.
Eazy-E was resurrected on his 50th birthday last night at Rock The Bells in Los Angeles. Accompanied by protégés Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, he recited his verses from “Straight Outta Compton”, “Boyz-N-The-Hood” and “For Tha Love Of $”.
It’s that time of the year folks and the Rock The Bells festival will be celebrating their 10 year anniversary with the likes of Wu-Tang, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, a virtual ODB and Eazy-E and tons more. This year, the two-day festival will hit up San Bernadino, CA (Sept. 7-8), Mountain View, CA (Sept. 14-15), Washington D.C. (Sept. 28-29), and Rutherford, NJ (Oct. 4-5).
This shit’s special. During the final Rock The Bells stop at the PNC Bank Arts Center in New Jersey this weekend, Nas brought out Scarface for their first live performance of DJ Khaled’s “Hip Hop”. They fucked Hip Hop.
For those expecting to see 40 and $hort this weekend at the Rock The Bells in Mountain View, CA, don’t get too hype
It only took them almost 13 years, but on Saturday, Red and Meth performed track six off Blackout
Following her introduction from DMX at Rock The Bells this weekend, E-V-E stuck around and kicked a flow over The Throne’s provocative track. This didn’t get us going. thewestcoastjawn

During Nas’ set last night at Rock The Bells, he performed one of Life Is Good’s crown jewels. This song’s too good to flub. Album in stores now. westcoastjawn Sidebar: Drop the damn video already!
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.
