Lebron and Jay speak briefly about why it was important for them to help sponsor a new gym for the Boys & Girls Club of L.A. at the groundbreaking this past weekend.
DJ Premier & Pete Rock stop by DD172 for a photoshoot and kick it with Dame. Curren$y then pleads with Premier for them to smoke together (lol), and Premo reminisces on catching Big rolling a joint at Baseline and Dame admits “Big Pimpin” was when he started smoking.
Dame also discusses hip hop right now (well, this was back in March) with Corey Smith from Blacksmith and gives the example of Curren$y, Wiz and tabi all working with each other, whereas that wasn’t the case back in the days:
“Even with us, like back in the day, the values like… Honestly Roc-A-Fella would be in the elevator with Wu-Tang and say what’s up and not say another word to each other”

ScHoolboy Q and Kendrick Lamar each tell Devi Dev how they got down with Top Dawg and Kendrick’s parents reacting to Dr. Dre and DJ Quik being on stage with him.
Part 3 of the interview is after the jump, where Kendrick says he wants to have at least two projects ready for this year (he says the material is ready) but that his focus right now is getting Detox out by April. Interestingly enough, Kendrick talks a bit about schooling Dr. Dre on this new wave of artists making names for themselves on the internet:
But there’s a whole new wave on the net I’m trying to tell him about: I can sell out a show just by putting out a mixtape and all these people are gonna come and pay for it, it’s a whole new wave of kids that’s listening now. So the scheme and the tactics of things gotta be a little bit different, you gotta feed em, instead of just holding back. Dre got like 10,000 records in the vaults man, and I’m like yo… let’s warm ‘em up.
[...] He’s gonna drop something. Cause a lotta people be leaking stuff, but on his own terms, that’s when the real shit is really gonna jump out and smack people…

Says Nina:
My grandmother passed away recently… her name was Beatrice she was my last grand parent. My fathers mother ide never known but R.I.P to the woman who birthed the woman who birthed me.I had to pay homage. Not to have a cliche ” my homies dead and gone ” song , but for purposes I don’t know how to define.I feel like I owe her the world, people die everyday. I know cuz I’ve known some of em. Eventually we all learn that you will NEVER truly know what you have till its gone.Torae came through and poured his HEART out on this track, like literally. I can’t speak for him so I will let him speak. This song might bleed through the speakers.This is not a sad song this is an ode for those people like us who on many levels seek closure… this is POETIC JUSTICE .
