Jadakiss set it off a few days ago. I just didn’t say anything. But I want it on the site as a matter of record!

He didn’t specify, but there’s a mysterious collaboration with Hip-Hop legend Big Daddy Kane. Something is officially in the works. While the LOX rapper didn’t offer full details, he confirmed during a recent conversation that something special is brewing. Remember, I said it before, because Kiss was educating his son on Kane.

This might really be the year of the OGs.

While younger artists like Travis Scott are topping sales charts, it’s the veterans who are getting the acclaim. Tyler, the Creator, at the big age of 34, has been making noise with Don’t Tap the Glass, but he may soon have to slide over. Nas, Clipse, Raekwon and others have been reasserting their dominance in 2025. I love Tyler though. Jadakiss and Big Daddy Kane may be next and “ain’t no half steppin’” with either of them.

“I’ve talked about this before, but now it’s real,” Jadakiss, who took his time, said. He didn’t give specific details, but the confirmation itself is all we need. Whether it’s an album, a single, or something else…let’s go! What could two of Hip-Hop’s most respected wordsmiths cook up? This isn’t gonna be raw.

Jadakiss and Kane have crossed paths over the years and continue to show mutual admiration. Kane, who helped lay the foundation for lyrical excellence in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, still commands massive respect from every generation of rapper that followed. Jadakiss, known for his gritty delivery and razor-sharp bars, represents that perfect bridge between old school and street-certified contemporary rap.

By the way, Kiss just released a new song. So, with or without Kane, moves are being made.

It’s also part of a wider shift. OGs aren’t just sitting on their legacy—they’re evolving. This is an era where podcasts, tours and live conversations matter as much as mixtapes and albums. Artists like Jadakiss are proving they can talk, perform and still out-rap nearly everyone in the room.

But make no mistake: fans really want is the bars.

Right now, the elders in the culture are dominating not with nostalgia but with BARS. You can’t “vibe” your way out of this. A few years ago, the OGs were about shooting the 30-foot jumper. Not anymore. They are dunking on MFers with both hands.

Ca$h Out was sentenced to life in prison plus 70 years by a Fulton County judge after being convicted on multiple charges tied to a sex trafficking ring that prosecutors say he led across metro Atlanta.

The former rapper, born John-Michael Hakim Gibson, was found guilty of rape, pimping and aggravated sodomy. He was convicted on two sex trafficking counts and acquitted on a third.

Additional charges, including sexual servitude and aggravated assault, were dismissed.

The court ordered that the 70-year sentence run concurrently with the life term, meaning he will not serve additional time beyond the life term.

Ca$h Out must also register as a sex offender, avoid contact with victims or their families and stay away from several locations in Atlanta, including the Fulton Industrial Boulevard corridor.

“I want to start out by thanking you for giving us a fair trial. I want to thank the jurors for the amount of time that they put in to judge this trial. The time being on this trial, I was able to see how the jurors are put in the tough position of sitting there and judge someone’s life. And, you know, it’s a hard decision, and I felt like they made the wrong judgment. I’ve done things in my life. I’m not perfect. But the things I’ve been accused of, I know that I haven’t done those things,” Ca$h Out said.

He was initially offered 25 years, but chose to gamble and take the case to trial and lost miserably.

During Monday’s sentencing (July 21), victims and their families delivered emotional statements describing the trauma they endured. One woman said she felt “disgusting” and “unlovable” after being trafficked.

Others spoke of long-term effects including PTSD, anxiety and depression.

The parents of one victim told the court that Ca$h Out used his celebrity status to manipulate and exploit.

The case revealed a years-long operation that prosecutors said functioned like a criminal enterprise. Authorities charged Ca$h Out under Georgia’s RICO laws, typically used for organized crime, arguing he ran a for-profit sex trafficking ring.

More than 50 witnesses testified throughout the trial. Some women said they were raped or denied food unless they performed sex acts for money.

Others said Ca$h Out or his mother took the money they earned.

Prosecutors also presented video evidence from a prostitution sting to highlight the structured nature of the operation.

Ca$h Out’s mother, Linda Smith, known as “Mama Ca$h Out,” was convicted of one trafficking charge but cleared of another and a prostitution count. She was hit with 30 years.

A third defendant, Tyrone Taylor, was found guilty on all charges except pimping, including rape and aggravated sodomy. Taylor received life plus 70 years.

Ca$h Out first rose to fame with the 2012 hit single “Cashin’ Out”, but had faded from the music scene by the time the investigation began in 2019.

Hunter Biden stirred the pot with a comparison between crack cocaine and alcohol during a new interview, prompting a one-word reaction from Pusha T that lit up social media.

In a sit-down with Andrew Callaghan for Channel 5, Biden opened up about his past drug use, his father’s decision to step down from the 2024 presidential race and his own legal battles.

But it was his remarks about crack cocaine that sparked the most chatter.

“Does crack cocaine make you act any differently? No, is it safer than alcohol? Probably,” Biden said. He argued that the physical effects of crack were less dangerous than the environments he had to enter to obtain it.

“You can go to your neighborhood convenience store. I don’t want to tell people how to make crack cocaine,” he added.

Biden also said he was drinking heavily while using crack, calling alcohol the “most harmful substance” he had ever encountered. He emphasized the combined toll of both addictions.

Beyond the health concerns, Biden addressed how crack is perceived in society.

“People think of crack as being dirty,” he said. “It’s the exact opposite. When you make crack, what you’re doing is you’re burning off all the impurities so that it combined with the sodium bicarbonate, which makes it smokable.”

The quote quickly made its way to Pusha T, who responded on X with a one-word post: “Deep.”

The Clipse rapper’s reaction carried weight, considering his long history of referencing cocaine and crack in his music.

Alongside his brother Malice, Clipse built a reputation for vivid, coded narratives about drug dealing and street life.

Their albums, Lord Willin’, Hell Hath No Fury and their latest, Let God Sort Em Out, are often cited as Hip-Hop staples thanks to their detailed depictions of the cocaine trade.

Tracks like “Keys Open Doors” have become synonymous with Clipse’s lyrical focus on the drug game.

Social media users quickly weighed in on Pusha T’s “deep” remark, with some praising his restraint and others dissecting the irony of the moment, given his lyrical legacy.

“You probably served him back in the day and didn’t even know,” one user wrote. “I didn’t know Hunter was on the Clipse album roll out.. Respect bringing this authentic crack connoisseur,” another added.
