Jay Z will replace the Beastie Boys at the All Points West Music Festival in Jersey City this weekend (August 1st, 09).  As stated in the post below, there has been an opening due to MCA having found a cancerous tumor in his salivary gland.  Other performers  to perform at the music and arts festival are Tool and Coldplay as the premier headliners at the festival including Jay.  There will be other performers as well.  So if you’re in the NYC area head on over to JC to check this out, should be hot to death.  You can get there for $89 for one of the days or $219 for the whole 3 days.

Bad news for the Beastie Boys this summer. Their upcoming tour for the album “Hot Sauce Committee Part I” has been canceled indefinetly due to cancerous tumor found in MCA’s salavary gland.  Luckily it has been caught early and only in one location so it is treatable and likely to survive.  It will require surgery and treatment but he should be OK.  The title track “Too Many Rappers” featuring Nas was one of the songs from the album that was coming out.  Now the album may not come out at all, but we’ll see what happens after a recovery from MCA.  The rest of the band members sent love, prayers and condolences to his family.  The HipHope.com family sends love too his family also.
