that’s how to make mo money.Lil Wayne has been around longer enough to now have elder-statesman status at 40. And in honor of the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, it’s fitting that a rapper would open this year’s VMAs.But “Uproar” — a relatively minor hit from 2018’s “Tha Carter V” — and the new single “Kat Food” didn’t exactly take us back to the classic Weezy vibeology of “A Milli” (which he did return to perform in the hip-hop finale) and “Lollipop.”Thankfully, Olivia Rodrigo — who, 20 years younger than Wayne, would have made more sense as the opener in 2023 — swooped in to help save the opener in the end with “Vampire” and “Get Back.”Two years ago, Doja Cat hosted and performed at the VMAs back when she seemed a little green to be pulling double duty.

Lil Wayne has opened the 2023 MTV VMAs at New Jersey’s Prudential Center with the live premiere of his latest single ‘Kat Food’.The rapper kicked off the awards show by performing in front of a raised platform on the arena’s stage, flanked by female dancers dressed in white, as he aired the 2020 track ‘Uproar’.Midway through the song, he segued into ‘Kat Food’, walking through the crowd to the B-stage as he did so. The track was released on September 1 and was produced by Charlie Handsome, FNZ and Rogét Chahayed.Wayne is also due to perform as part of a special hip-hop performance celebrating the genre’s 50th anniversary later in the VMAs.

Lil Wayne, Common and more.The gig – dubbed ’50 Years Of Hip-Hop’ – was co-sponsored by the Recording Academy’s Black Music Collective and Live Nation Urban.During an opening speech, Harris called the event the “first-ever hip-hop house party at the Office of the Vice President of the United States,” going on to heap praise on the genre.“Hip-hop is the ultimate American art form,” she said. “Hip-hop now shapes nearly every aspect of America’s popular culture, and it reflects the incredible diversity and ingenuity of the American people.

She’s a doll, but she still wants to party! Nicki Minaj is returning to the MTV Video Music Awards stage this year as both the evening’s emcee and for a performance of her new single, “Last Time I Saw You.”

Super Freaky again. Reassuming her role as head-Barb-in-charge at MTV’s Video Music Awards, Nicki Minaj is set to serve as the host of this year’s fab fête live from New Jersey’s Prudential Center on Tuesday, September 12. “For the second consecutive year, Minaj will announce the show’s star-studded lineup of performers, presenters and winners,” raved MTV of the 40-year-old Queens native in a press release.

Nicki Minaj has revealed that she regrets having Kanye West feature on ‘Blazin’ instead of ‘Right Thru Me’ – saying it was the “dumbest fucking decision I ever made.”Earlier this year, the New York rapper announced that she will be dropping her fifth studio album ‘Pink Friday 2’, the follow-up to her 2010 debut album ‘Pink Friday’.The record featured many rap titans such as her then-mentor and label boss Lil Wayne, labelmate Drake, Rihanna and even Eminem. Another big name to rap alongside Minaj was Kanye West, who lent his talents to the synth-pop-inspired track ‘Blazin’.In a recent TikTok live broadcast, Nicki Minaj replied to a fan who said they loved the Kanye West-assisted track.

There was a brief moment during Hip Hop 50 Live — an epic celebration of the golden anniversary of hip-hop that stretched from Friday night into Saturday morning at New York’s Yankee Stadium— that provided a quick reality check.In between Kid Capri’s DJ set and a breakdancing segment featuring Rock Steady Crew legend Crazy Legs, Yankee legend Derek Jeter crashed what felt like the world’s biggest block party and reminded you that it was actually the home of the Bronx Bombers.But on this unforgettable night, the stadium belonged to hip-hop — the music and the game-changing culture that was fathered by DJ Kool Herc at a party in the South Bronx 50 years ago on Aug. 11, 1973.And with a loaded lineup that included golden-age groundbreakers (Run-DMC, Slick Rick), West Coast rap royalty (Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube) and new-millennium masters (Lil Wayne, T.I.), the marathon, seven-hour-plus concert felt like the Live Aid of hip-hop.

YouTube has announced that they will celebrate the 50th anniversary of hip-hop this year by launching the FIFTY DEEP campaign.This month marks 50 years since DJ Kool Herc performed at a party in the Bronx and showed off his DJing invention of scratching records to extend the instrumental breaks in the song. This revelation was the cornerstone for hip-hop as people could dance longer (evolving into breakdancing) and aspiring MCs could rap during song breaks.In honour of the musical milestone, YouTube has launched FIFTY DEEP, “a cultural campaign on YouTube that salutes how far [the genre] come.” Director of Black Music & Culture Tuma Basa wrote a blog post on the new campaign, saying that the mission “is for every generation to dig into the gems of YouTube’s archival treasury of Hip Hop.”They plan to fulfil their mission by collating a visual library of 2,000 videos that “have changed the game” for hip-hop music, having a custom Yoodle (YouTube’s version of the Google Doodle) to pay homage to the phenomenon of type beats, and creating a Google Arts & Culture Hip Hop Hub to collate “a wide range of cultural institutions’ collections and curated stories.”FIFTY DEEP will kick off this Friday (August 11) with a live stream of Hip-Hop 50 Live on Mass Appeal’s official YouTube channel.

Run-DMC, a 12-year-old Darryl McDaniels got his first education in hip-hop at St. Pascal Baylon Catholic school in Jamaica, Queens.“I was in seventh grade, and Billy Morris — who was in the eighth grade — walked into the schoolyard with a flat Panasonic tape recorder that all the kids would use [back when] there were no boomboxes,” DMC, 59, told The Post.“And he said, ‘Yo, come listen to this!’ He pushed play, I heard a beat … and it was about, like, a minute and 30 seconds of this guy rapping over this little drum beat.
