BAD NEWS - Adam Yauch has cancer, Beastie Boys cancel tour
‘Adam"MCA" Yauch of Beastie Boys was diagnosed last week as having a cancerous tumor in his left parotid (salivary) gland. Luckily it was caught early and is localized in one area, and as such is considered very treatable. It will however require surgery and several weeks of additional treatment. Fortunately the cancer is not in a location that will affect Yauch's vocal chords. Beastie Boys have canceled all upcoming concert appearances to allow time for Yauch's surgery and recovery. The release of the band's forthcoming album Hot Sauce Committee Part 1 will also be pushed back.
"I just need to take a little time to get this in check, and then we'll release the record and play some shows. It's a pain in the neck (sorry had to say it) because I was really looking forward to playing these shows, but the doctors have made it clear that this is not the kind of thing that can be put aside to deal with later."’

MY WEEKEND-NORWAY - BELGIUM - FRANCE
Another hectic weekend, 3 countries in 3 days. I love doing festivals, no sleep but so much fun. Norway was the first spot which was alongside The Streets. Just before the festival, the promoters took us to a island for lunch on a speed boat. Theres me holding on with one hand, and camera in the other hand. Nearly went over board real talk. Check out the footage below.
The gig was really good and the crowd were crazy...people in Norway drink ALOT. After a few hours sleep we took a 2 hour drive back to Oslo airport then to Brussels for another 2 hour drive and another festival. Dour festival in Belgium was probably the best festival so far this year. HUUUUGE tent, Black Milk was on before us and tour it down. Apparently he and his wholle camp were ill with food posioning...dont think they were feeling the backstage catering. We tore it down...the energy in there was crazy. I went backstage to eat some more food and bumped into Eric Sermon, who still looks mad young. Next was a 2 hour drive to Lille in France then to sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

DJ MK - LAST WEEKEND IN SERBIA, GERMANY AND....KENT
Me and Rodney hit the road again to do The Exit festival in Serbia, a festival on a farm in Kent i cant remember the name of, and the Splash Festival in Germany. Exit festival was amzing. We were on the main stage after Lily Allen and before The Artic Monkeys, and the 25,000 crowd were losing there mind. The festival on the farm was kool, but damn there were toooo many kids off there face, looking like they were gonna OD any minute.
Got a chance to see me homeboy Rodney P perform alongside The Stanton Warriors who tore it down. We then drove from Kent to a hotel beside treminal 5, and i managed to get in 4 hours sleep. Up early, we headed over to Terminal 5 and just about got on our plane to Berlin. Then from Berlin we had a 2 hour drive to the Splash Festival in Leipzeig. Staying in the same hotel as us was Toddla T, Serocee, Vadim, Yarah Bravo, Rusco, and my homeboy Aaron La Crate from Nyc so it was kool hooking up with those guys.
The show was sick and the stage manager that night was one of the nicest people i ve ever met. 4 hours sleep again, then it was back to sunny London. Heres some Photos.

INDUSTRY RULE NUMBER4080 - Q-TIP WRITES A BOOK ON...THE INDUSTRY
Heres the press release.
Ballantine Books will publish Industry Rules by Q-Tip, world-renowned artist, producer, DJ, and lead MC of hip-hop’s legendary A Tribe Called Quest. It was announced by Libby McGuire, publisher of Ballantine Books. Assistant Editor Porscha Burke acquired North American rights for the group from Jay Mandel at William Morris Endeavor Entertainment.
Q-Tip was inspired to write Industry Rules as he acknowledged upcoming milestones in his personal life and professional career—most notably, 2010 marks the twentieth anniversary of A Tribe Called Quest’s first album, People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm (Jive Records, 1990). The main idea for the book grew from a verse Q-Tip penned a year later, in the group’s critically acclaimed 1991 release The Low End Theory. In the song “Check the Rhime,” he raps, “Industry rule number 4080: record company people are shady.” The book will expand on the 4080th rule and include more of Q-Tip’s thoughts on the entertainment business, fashion, love, and morality.
Q-Tip says, “It was important to me to write a book because on the whole, I feel we could all be more literate, and as an artist, I’m always looking for ways to do something cool, different, and both light and introspective at the same time. With so many influences, like Duke Ellington’s writing, or the music played by radio DJs in the 70’s, or just what you see hanging out on Linden Blvd., there’s a lot to say, and I look forward to reaching a bunch of colorful dudes and gals with the project.” The book will include never-before-told stories about Q-Tip’s personal experiences, family life, celebrity friends, inspirations, and career.
Q-Tip (Kamaal ibn John Fareed), has been pushing the envelope of creativity and breaking new ground for personal and cultural expression since founding the group A Tribe Called Quest with his friends, Queens natives Phife Dawg and Ali Shaheed Muhammad. Before officially disbanding in 1998, the group recorded five studio albums for Jive Records, including People’s Instinctive Travels…(1990), The Low End Theory (1991), Midnight Marauders (1993), Beats, Rhymes, and Life (1996), and The Love Movement (1998). Q-Tip then went on to release Amplified (Arista Records, 1999) and the critically acclaimed album, The Renaissance (Universal Motown, 2008), and will soon release his long-awaited LP Kamaal the Abstract (Battery Records, 2009).
Grammy Award-nominated and beloved by music lovers of all types, Q-Tip will add Industry Rules, his latest element to the pop culture canon, in late 2010.
