From AOL News' Boombox... DJ Premier Calls Out Hip-Hop Outlets for not Honoring Guru Despite the rumors of inner turmoil and a well publicized separation, DJ Premier and Guru will always be remembered for the impact that they left on hip-hop music as the duo Gangstarr. With Guru's untimely and tragic death earlier this year, Preemo has dealt with constant attacks on the Gangstarr name and the group's legacy. However, over the weekend, Premier spoke out on another issue. The legendary DJ made known his feelings towards many major hip-hop outlets that he feels did little to honor the late emcee. Through his blog, the legendary DJ called out all major rap publications. "IT'S SAD THAT ALL OF THE SO-CALLED HIP HOP MAGAZINES DID NOT GIVE HIM A WELL DESERVED COVER WHEN MOST MC'S OUT NOW CANNOT CONSTRUCT RHYMES, FLOWS AND UNIQUENESS AND ORIGINAL CONTRIBUTIONS LIKE HE DID FOR 22 YEARS REPRESENTING THE CULTURE......WE ARE ALWAYS WATCHING WHAT THE INDUSTRY DOES TO PAY HOMAGE AND RESPECT TO OUR LEADERS OF THIS RAP ****..." While Premier went on to thank many well respected tastemakers and DJs who he felt did Guru justice, he had no pity for those gatekeepers who he feels were negligent in paying respects. He specifically addressed BET for cutting their Guru shout out from their televised award show last month. ".....I WILL NEVER FORGET IT AND THERE IS NO EXCUSE.......B.E.T. DID THE SAME THING BY REMOVING HIS SHOUT OUT FROM THE 2010 AWARDS DUE TO TIME ISSUES......THAT SHOWS YOU HOW MUCH THEY USE YOU AND THEN THEY **** DOWN YOUR THROAT.....ALL I DO KNOW IS THIS : WHEN IT'S YOUR TURN TO BE REMEMBERED, WE WON'T FORGET ABOUT YOU........WE GIVE RESPECT WHERE IT'S DUE....." Last week (July 18th), Guru's immediate family held a private memorial service for the rapper in his hometown of Boston. The entire Gangstarr Foundation, including DJ Premier and Big Shug, were those in attendance. Fans can continue to stay updated and receive information on Guru and his foundation at Gurutributes.com.

I just got this from AOL News' Boombox....I've never liked The-Dream...right now I think he's also one of the stupidest people ever. I mean, WHO CHEATS ON CHRISTINA MILIAN?!?! You can't cheat up from that. Which means he's an idiot who cheated down. This is how I felt when Eric Benet cheated on Halle Barry....except I like his music. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Christina Milian Says The-Dream Cheated During Their Marriage As the story of The-Dream and Christina Milian's marital woes unfolds, the allegations against The-Dream continue to mount up. Milian claims that when the "Radio Killa" singer/producer publicly announced the end of their relationship recently, she was taken aback by the news since it was the first time she was hearing of it. Dream allegedly filed for divorce back in February, when his wife was just nine days away from giving birth to their daughter, Violet. He stated the divorce was on the grounds that their relationship was "irretrievably broken," but according to Milian, their relationship seemed back on, and they even had "marital relations on numerous occasions." Milian claims that, while she was pregnant, The-Dream had her sign an agreement waiving any alimony or rights to his earnings. The 'Dip It Low' singer claims her judgment was clouded, due to being at the full term of her pregnancy. Finally, Milian says The-Dream cheated on her during their marriage, and conceded that, should the court grant the divorce, she would like it to be due to her husband's infidelity.

YOUNG GUNZ + RELL - No Better Love Tough Luv (2003) I remember thinking these guys might have had what it takes to keep some realness in commercial Hip-Hop back in 2003.

BLACKstreet - Bootie Call BLACKstreet (1994) BLACKstreet is one of the best!

Happy B-Day!

I think I saw this when it 1st aired...but remember almost nothing from it...except the falling off the stairs bit. I think I'm gonna post this on Facebook right now...lol. Thanx!

MC BRAINS - Everybody's Talking 'Bout MC Brains Lovers Lane (1992) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX5pm9ywkXc One of my favorites from back in the day...if u love the Homebase vibe, check this...

THE KEY OF AWESOME - Glitter Puke (Kesha - Tik Tok Parody) (2010) This has cracked me up for months. I'm sure some of u will laugh at this too.

THE U.M.C.'S - Blue Cheese Fruits of Nature (1991) Tell me someone remembers these guys. The early 90's has nothing but dope music.

I'm very biased on this becuz I've loved Christina Milian since 2001ish and I've disliked The-Dream since he first got popular (minus a few songs he's produced). All I know is this, Christina Milian is a 10...and The-Dream was just luckily. As fans, u can never know what goes on behind closed doors and famous people REALLY are but they never seemed like a legit couple. I love Christina's music and a handful of her movies...but her career isn't blazing hot at the moment. Maybe she needs 2 date non-industry guys...like me. :laugh: Christina, if you are reading this...message me.

Guru Eulogized in Boston, DJ Premier Pays Tribute From Europe The utter shock of Guru's death on April 19 has hardly worn off, but his family has finally paid tribute to the fallen rapper in a private ceremony that took place in Boston this past Sunday (July 18). According to various sources, close friends and family gathered at the University of Massachusetts to pay their last respects to the former Gang Starr leader, born Keith Elam, in the emotional and intimate gathering. The date was one day after what would have been Guru's 49th birthday. DJ Premier, Guru's legendary partner and the producer of Gang Starr's records, was actually in Europe during the event, but he checked-in with All Hip-Hop to offer up his thoughts on a heavy day. "This is one of the most powerful dates to exist in the elements of earth," he said. "Guru is a pinnacle in the legacy of hip-hop culture." Well put, Premo. Throughout the news cycle surrounding Guru's death and the subsequent shady dealings from his late-life partner Solar, Premier has consistently taken the high road. He continues to emphasize the great history that they both created. "I am so blessed to have run 22 years of personally being a major part of his existence as a friend and business partner," he continued. "I have permanent scars on my right hand that I can never remove from my skin that he put there from one of our famous scuffles that only the Gang Starr family knows about."

HEAVY D - Keep It Comin' Waterbed Hev (1997) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDJ5pryZ4z4&feature=related

What can we do to take this to the next level?

He's said before he's not a scientologist . I don't find this a surprise. But it's easy 2 see where they are gonna pull the scientologist card with Tom Cruise being involved. Tom Cruise has made himself the poster boy for scientology. He shamelessly promotes the man-made religion, acts like and idiot from time to time, and has become very annoying in interviews. 10 years ago most females considered him the hottest guy alive and we all know how the media likes to tear down famous people. Tom makes it pretty easy. I admire that FP stands by his people...but at the same time, he needs 2 make the right decisions when dealing with him career-wise.

ONYX + MAKEM PAY - Black Hoodie Rap (2010) Anyone thirsting for some gritty street Hip-Hop? Peep the video. This track alone buries all this idiot pop Wanyes, Drakes, Ross', Dros, Boosies, etc...

Overall I hope this doesn't happen. With the Twilight garbage being popular it will just come across and trendy stuff. On the other hand, when everyone heard he was doing Men In Black they were like "oh no, not another alien movie." When we saw the trailer, everyone was like "oh, this alien movie is nothing like Independence Day." Could this movie work and be good...probably. Do I wanna see it happen? Not really. Other than Bad Boys 3 and MIIIB, I'm not excited for ANY of the movie news I've heard. Enough is enough...time for a new album. :monkey1:

Happy B-Day!

That's really interesting. It's definitely something new for the family. I've never seen something on Broadway (or even off Broadway) but I'm pretty sure I'd go and see that if they did it. I remember watching the movie to that show back in high school. I wasn't interested in it much back then. Maybe I'll watch it again as an "adult."

This performance was either late 1993 or early 1994. I don't know the exact title but it was an American Music Awards special...but not the actual award show. "I'm Looking For The One (To Be With Me)" was released in late fall/early winter and the special was prior to the award show. The did "I Wanna Rock" for the actual AMA's. I remember SWV in the crown loosing it...maybe that's what led to Coko being on "Men In Black" 3 years later. I remember Kenny G awkwardly getting into their performance too...lol. The award show was either December '93 or early '94. As I get settled into the new house I plan going thru' my 100's of VHS's and getting them transfered to DVD before they decay into oblivion. From there I'll potna with my computer genius so I can share some of it online.

ICE CUBE - It Was A Good Day The Predator (1992) Either this joint or "You Know How We Do It" is my favorite Ice Cube joint. Flawless.

Happy B-day! :shocked: I'm not sure what that smiley has to do with your birthday...I just wanted to use it.

Yep Yep...I watched that when it 1st aired on TV and taped it. That actually wasn't from an award show tho.' They did "I Wanna Rock" for the award show. This performance was from a special that focused on the award shows of the past that featured live performances.

FRESH PRINCE - Just Cruisin' Men In Black II Soundtrack (1997) Instead of the real video, I thought I'd post this. It's kinda funny. If u get passed LL's "I'm Bad" and Eazy's "Compton City G's" u can see someone's take on "Just Crusin'" that features FP doing some awful driving. The funny part is close to the end where he's driving down the beach after a girl. It reminded of the line on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air that went something like "I don't care how pretty she is, you can't drive on the sidewalk!."

ALLURE + LL COOL J - No Question Allure (1997)

LL COOL J - Summer Luv Loungin' (CD Single) (1996) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UbF1jchLFw I love this joint. I forgot he made a video 2 it. It's so random to make a video for a b-side off one of your singles when your album is still going strong.
