VH1 Hip Hop honors

2005-09-27T14:21:00.000-04:00

I think it's great that a channel that didn't show Hip Hop videos for years has changed their format and does shows attributed to Hip Hop. VH1 is aware that the Hip Hop audience doesn't watch their channel so this show is marketed to a non-Hip Hop crowd. It's another format at spreading the Hip Hop culture. Last year they honored: DJ Hollywood, DJ Kool Herc, KRS ONE, RUN DMC, Public Enemy, Rock Steady Crew, Sugarhill Gang, & Tupac Shakur. Their missing a Graf artist but this was a pretty diverse crowd of groups and individuals to honor. 2005 honorees are: LL Cool J, Grand Master Flash & The Furious Five, Salt-N-Pepa, Notorious Big, Big Daddy Kane, Ice T, & the movie Boyz In The Hood. This is a tight emcee line up but their lacking on Dee Jays and graf artist. What is really out of place is the movie Boyz In The Hood. It was a great movie and should be honored but their are a lot of other influential Hip Hop movies that came out, long before Boys In The Hood. There was definitely some politics involved in who they chose because, how is Fab 5 Freddy, one of the producers of this years show, and they didn't honor Wild Style! That was a big mistake because anyone that's remotely into Hip Hop knows how Wild Style is the first Hip Hop movie and is partly responsible for Hip Hop spreading around the world.

Swiffer Wetjet poison

2005-09-22T15:14:00.000-04:00

I didn't know this! For those of you with animals......
I recently had a neighbor who had their 5-year old German shepherd dog put down due to liver failure. The dog was completely healthy until a few weeks ago. They had a necropsy done to see what the cause was. The liver levels were unbelievable, as if the dog had ingested poison of some kind. The dog is kept inside, and when he's outside, someone's with him, so the idea of him getting into something unknown was hard to believe.

My neighbor started going through all the items in the house. When he got to the Swiffer Wetjet, he noticed, in very tiny print, a warning which stated "may be harmful to small children and animals." He called the company to ask what the contents of the cleaning agent are and was astounded to find out that antifreeze is one of the ingredients. (Actually he was told it's a compound which is one molecule away from antifreeze). Therefore, just by the dog walking on the floor cleaned with the solution, then licking its own paws, it ingested enough of the solution to destroy its liver. Soon after his dog's death, his housekeepers' two cats also died of liver failure. They both used the Swiffer Wetjet for quick cleanups on their floors. Necropsies weren't done on the cats, so they couldn't file a lawsuit, but he asked that we spread the word to as many people as possible.

EVEN IF YOU DO NOT OWN A PET PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!

Interesting. Big up to the TATS brothers
Still you cats and the so called..."GRAFF"....nation need to recognize and realize...this...and it's far from an opinion...

Graffitti is primitive and it's for kids!!! Even if these brothers call what they do Graffitti....it's way more than that...and the world..the socalled writers and the media need to start to give Aerosol Culture and the highest degree of elements and art in it...more credit.

The very first generation never called it GRAFFITI...in the first place...they called it writing...which was actually their own style and reinterpretation of the English language... As long as you and whoever continue to view it as..."graffiti art"...it will be nothing more than that...and it (that terminology) will never say much no matter what the art looks like.
The same so called authorities that gave us inappropriate "appropriations" such as...NEGRO and (AMERICAN) INDIAN are the same ones who blessed us with nonsense like labeling our culture"graffiti"...Was it really their sincere intentions to serve justice to anyone connected to these absurdities???

It appears to be that...as long as writing and aerosol art is being done by "niggers*" wiggers* and "spics*" (the word *graffiti...is the equivalent) and not the so called upper echelon of acceptable so called artists and or individuals ...or even freaks...(Haring.. Basquait..Sharf) that it will continue to be viewed as far less than the incredible art and culture that it is...The proof is in the 30 plus years of it's existence and it's placement and perception in the world at large...

RESPECT TO MY BROTHERS....TAT...GET IT RIGHT!!!! CHANGE COMES WITH THE WILLINGNESS TO MAKE CHANGES!!!

Has the world forgotten Sabra and Shatila massacre?

2005-09-17T11:25:00.000-04:00

Few days ago was the anniversary of the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington, but there’s another September tragedy the worldwide media has ignored— the bloody massacre of Palestinian refugees in Sabra and Shatila camps in Lebanon.

In September 1982, Lebanese Maronite Christian militias were sent by Israel to Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Beirut, Lebanon, to find PLO members and kill Palestinian refugees.
http://english.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=9661

The Christian Phalangist group are reported to have murdered entire families in cold blood in the Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila.

The massacre was apparently revenge for the assassination four days ago of the Christian President-elect, Bashir Gemayel.

This was a very bold statement that Kanye West said on live TV. He basically took this whole situation and gave his opinion. You have to have a lot of nerve to call out a commander in chief of a country, but I feel the non-actions taken by our government allowed Kanye to say what he did.

Hurricane Katrina didn’t hit the U.S. in 20 minutes, like the Tsunami during the Christmas season last year. Our government knew this hurricane was going to hit our land and didn’t prepare for it. They had over a week to prepare for the damage. Was it because of the demographics of the race that lives in the south that were affected by Katrina? Who knows? But the fact is that the U.S. military has dozens of military bases located in the south that could have easily prepared for the worst. Let’s say that the government was 100% convinced that Katrina wasn’t going to hit land. Our military could of still mobilized tens of thousands of troops within 24 hours and help the victims. The U.S. military is the most advanced and best prepared military in the world. They could have built bridges, helped evacuate, pump the water out, etc. etc., right when Katrina hit, but the commander in chief decided not too. Why, we’ll never really know. But the next time you decide not to vote, remember your non-vote helped elect a president that chose not to help you when you really needed it.

YOU’RE VOTE COUNTS. USE IT TO PREVENT PEOPLE LIKE BUSH RUNNING THE MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD TODAY!

An open letter to President Bush........the vacation is over

Friday, September 2nd, 2005

Dear Mr. Bush:

Any idea where all our helicopters are? It's Day 5 of Hurricane Katrina and thousands remain stranded in New Orleans and need to be airlifted. Where on earth could you have misplaced all our military choppers? Do you need help finding them? I once lost my car in a Sears parking lot. Man, was that a drag.

Also, any idea where all our national guard soldiers are? We could really use them right now for the type of thing they signed up to do like helping with national disasters. How come they weren't there to begin with?

Last Thursday I was in south Florida and sat outside while the eye of Hurricane Katrina passed over my head. It was only a Category 1 then but it was pretty nasty. Eleven people died and, as of today, there were still homes without power. That night the weatherman said this storm was on its way to New Orleans. That was Thursday! Did anybody tell you? I know you didn't want to interrupt your vacation and I know how you don't like to get bad news. Plus, you had fundraisers to go to and mothers of dead soldiers to ignore and smear. You sure showed her!

I especially like how, the day after the hurricane, instead of flying to Louisiana, you flew to San Diego to party with your business peeps. Don't let people criticize you for this -- after all, the hurricane was over and what the heck could you do, put your finger in the dike?

And don't listen to those who, in the coming days, will reveal how you specifically reduced the Army Corps of Engineers' budget for New Orleans this summer for the third year in a row. You just tell them that even if you hadn't cut the money to fix those levees, there weren't going to be any Army engineers to fix them anyway because you had a much more important construction job for them -- BUILDING DEMOCRACY IN IRAQ!

On Day 3, when you finally left your vacation home, I have to say I was moved by how you had your Air Force One pilot descend from the clouds as you flew over New Orleans so you could catch a quick look of the disaster. Hey, I know you couldn't stop and grab a bullhorn and stand on some rubble and act like a commander in chief. Been there done that.

There will be those who will try to politicize this tragedy and try to use it against you. Just have your people keep pointing that out. Respond to nothing. Even those pesky scientists who predicted this would happen because the water in the Gulf of Mexico is getting hotter and hotter making a storm like this inevitable. Ignore them and all their global warming Chicken Littles. There is nothing unusual about a hurricane that was so wide it would be like having one F-4 tornado that stretched from New York to Cleveland.

No, Mr. Bush, you just stay the course. It's not your fault that 30 percent of New Orleans lives in poverty or that tens of thousands had no transportation to get out of town. C'mon, they're black! I mean, it's not like this happened to Kennebunkport. Can you imagine leaving white people on their roofs for five days? Don't make me laugh! Race has nothing -- NOTHING -- to do with this!

You hang in there, Mr. Bush. Just try to find a few of our Army helicopters and send them there. Pretend the people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast are near Tikrit.

Yours,

Michael Moore

This was truly a controlled Hip Hop event. There were ten mock Subway cars that Crash, Lady Pink, Cope, TKid, Tats Crue and a few other graf artists were piecing on. Roc Raida, A.Vee & Prince Paul were on the ones and twos. There was a B-Boy circle and an emcee cypher going on. It was dope seeing the true elements of Hip Hop represented here in NYC.

I went to this bar/club last night down on Spring off Hudson. It had a really nice vibe and atmosphere BUT the DJ's were playing all the wrong music. It seemed like the music was for the DJ's homeboys rather than the people in the spot. I heard some really hardcore Hip Hop early in the night that didn't quite fit but it still was a good night. A good DJ should be able to mix 70’s, 80’s, 90’s etc. music. Last night needed some Al Green, Curtis Mayfield or Isaac Hayes!

Conservative Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson has called for the United States to assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, calling him "a terrific danger" bent on exporting Communism and Islamic extremism across the Americas. Robertson called Chavez "a dangerous enemy to our south, controlling a huge pool of oil, that could hurt us badly."
http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/08/23/robertson.chavez/index.html

For those of you, that might not read the Bible, please do not let people like Pat Robertson represent what the true form of Christianity is. This guy is truly not a follower of Christ. It's people like Pat Robertson, Jerry Farwell & Bill Graham that destroy God's word and the teachings of Christ. God is the God of everyone, including President Hugo Chavez. Our government tries to say that he's a private citizen and his views do not reflect U.S. policy, but they lied and they do. All men should love their neighbor like they love themselves regardless of race, religion, sex or anything. But unfortunately Satan controls this earth and his leaders are who the majority listen too.

Hip Hop

What is Hip Hop? Are their any places where there's B-Boys, Graffiti artist, Disc Jockey’s and Emcees, collectively together repping. A few here and there but the culture as a whole is all over the place. I'm very lost when it comes to today's Hip Hop. It seems like Hip Hop wants to be Hollywood and would rather chill in that sort of environment, rather than a Hip Hop environment. It's evolved into something I can't understand. 99% of the people in the music end of Hip Hop usually start off repping but as soon as they get a little fame and money, they change. I guess I'm old school because if I can't get into the club you’re spinning at because I got sneakers on then how much Hip Hop is in the house.

the real number of U.S. military that died in Iraq is over 7,000

2005-07-28T14:48:00.000-04:00

U.S. Military Personnel who died in German hospitals or en route to German hospitals have not previously been counted. They total about 6,210 as of 1 January, 2005.

The government gets away with these huge lies because they claim, falsely, that only soldiers actually killed on the ground in Iraq are reported. The dying and critically wounded are listed as en route to military hospitals outside of the country and not reported on the daily postings. Anyone who dies just as the transport takes off from the Baghdad airport is not listed and neither are those who die in the US military hospitals.

In 1983, 50 corporations controlled the vast majority of all news media in the U.S, according to the Media Reform Information Center. By 1992, fewer than 25 companies owned and operated 90% of the mass media - controlling almost all of America's newspapers, magazines, TV and radio stations, books, records, movies, videos, wire services, and photo agencies. Today, the number of major media players has fallen to six.

With only six major media players, the government can spin any story they want. Don't let the government and media make your decisions, because you don't know the truth.

be careful

2005-07-22T10:38:00.000-04:00

Though England is some 5,000 miles away from us, the U.S. Govt. will use what happened their, to invade our privacy. It's for a good cause I guess, because if a bomb was to go off in our subway and the Govt. wasn't checking people, they probably would have hundreds of lawsuits. So be extremely careful with what you carry in your bags, because the NYPD are not only looking for bombs and weapons!

Police to Check Bags on NYC Subways NEW YORK 2005, 07 21

Police will begin random searches of bags and packages carried by people entering city subways, officials announced Thursday after a new series of bomb attacks in London.
Passengers carrying bags will be selected at random before they pass through turnstiles, and those who refuse to be searched won't be allowed to ride, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.
"We just live in a world where, sadly, these kinds of security measures are necessary," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. "Are they intrusive? Yes, a little bit. But we are trying to find that right balance.
" The announcement drew complaints from civil liberties advocates in a city where an estimated 4.5 million passengers ride the subway on an average weekday. The system has more than 468 subway stations _ most with multiple entrances _ and the flood of commuters hurrying in and out of stations during rush hour can be overwhelming.
Kelly stressed that officers posted at subway entrances would not engage in racial profiling, and that passengers are free to "turn around and leave." He also downplayed the possibility of bottlenecks at subway entrances.
Officials declined to specify how frequently the checks would occur. The inspections are scheduled to be in place by rush hour on Friday. Authorities said bus and commuter train passengers will also be checked.
William K. Williams, a 56-year-old Manhattan resident who rides the train every day, said such security measures _ while inconvenient _ are a way of life now.
"It doesn't bother me _ I mean, the whole state of things bothers me _ but it's just part and parcel of the world we live in," said Williams, who was carrying a briefcase outside the Brooklyn Bridge station of the subway.
Similar types of random searches of subway passengers have prompted criticism from civil liberties groups in other cities, and in some cases have been challenged in court. The New York Civil Liberties Union said the searches violate basic rights and will inconvenience New Yorkers, but the group stopped short of threatening a legal challenge.
"The NYPD can and should investigate any suspicious activity, but the Fourth Amendment prohibits police from conducting searches where there is no suspicion of criminal activity," executive director Donna Lieberman said.
Kelly said passengers selected for searches will be approached by officers, who will ask them what they are carrying, and request them to open their bags. If an officer looking for explosives finds some other form of contraband, police said that person would be subject to arrest.
Andrew Morris, a 57-year-old New Yorker who had a large bag slung over his shoulder Thursday, said he would consent to a search if asked, but added that the extra security measures are essentially useless. "I think these terrorists go where it's easiest to go, so if you make it hard on the subway, they'll go where we're weak," Morris said.
Williams predicted the new searches would frustrate New Yorkers, not exactly known for their patience. "Sometimes you need to get to an appointment, you're running late and a cop stops you to delay you even further? That's going to create a mess," he said.
In Boston, additional police officers were added at downtown subway stations after the latest round of London explosions, and Gov. Mitt Romney boarded a subway to reassure residents that the city's transit system is safe.

Yesterday was an interesting day. Maceo from De La Soul calls me up about a demo we been talking about. He invites me to his show, that's going on at Central Park. So I go up to his hotel to meet him, in order to guarantee entrance. Now I'm chillin with the whole De La crew and Dres from Blacksheep. On our way to the park Dres and Maceo are kicking it about the Hip Hop game. When we arrive to the park we run into Sadat X who comes into the V.I.P. area with us. MF Doom was in the middle of his set at the time. There must be around 5,000 people there. I see a lot of people I haven't seen in a long time like Mos Def, DJ Premier, Cognito from Mass Influence, Just Ice, Psycho Les, and Destroy from the Arsonists. I also met Marc Ecko and did an interview for Sirius radio. Right after MF Doom's show, DJ Premier spun a wave of classic Hip Hop, and he used wax. De La comes on and kills it, like they usually do. They bring out Mos, Sadat, and Dres and do Rock Co. Kane Flow with MF Doom. After them DJ Premier rips it again and then The Roots come on.

It was a great show except for the fact that the music sounded a lot better than the emcees, due to them cutting out some of their voice, by cuffing the microphone. Otherwise NYC, the home of Hip Hop still represents for the real Hip Hop heads.

Guantanamo and human rights: Practicing what we preach

2005-06-13T11:54:00.000-04:00

by Jim Rice
http://www.sojo.net/index.cfm?action=sojomail.forums&mode=display&itemID=3576
Guantanamo Bay has become not only a symbol of the U.S. government's hypocrisy and dishonesty - or "disassembling," as President Bush might put it - around the war on terror. The prison camp has become one of the more egregious examples of the cost of unaccountable power.

Human rights groups have long documented the abuse of prisoners at Guantanamo, including desecration of the Quran. (The International Committee of the Red Cross issued credible reports in 2002 and 2003 on mistreatment of the Islamic holy book, which last week even the Pentagon admitted.)

The 540 prisoners at the facility have been held incommunicado, denied access to legal counsel, and, in fact, denied the most basic aspects of legal process. The Bush administration has given mutually contradictory rationalizations for its treatment of prisoners there, claiming on the one hand that those incarcerated are effectively prisoners of war and in other circumstances that they are terrorist criminals. Yet the administration has refused to honor either the Geneva Conventions for treatment of POWs or the rights granted the accused under U.S. criminal law.

Defenders of Guantanamo and the policies it represents are quick to point out that our treatment of prisoners is far better than that meted out by the U.S.'s terrorist enemies - or the "gulag" of the former Soviet Union, for that matter. Fair enough. But if the U.S. is to continue to claim a place as a world leader for human rights, our standards must be infinitely higher and conform to or surpass international norms. We must not be satisfied with merely being "better" than al Qaeda or Stalin.

Former President Jimmy Carter has joined human rights groups, led by Amnesty International and others, in calling for the closing of Guantanamo Bay. "The U.S. continues to suffer terrible embarrassment and a blow to our reputation...because of reports concerning abuses of prisoners in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo," Carter said, according to an A.P. report. President Bush refused to rule out the closing of the facility, saying the administration was "exploring all alternatives" for detaining the prisoners.

Guantanamo should be closed. But simply closing the facility - and either moving the detainees to another location or returning them to their country of origin - is not enough. If the United States is to regain any credibility as an advocate of human rights around the world, it must begin to practice what it preaches in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Guantanamo, and everywhere else. The erosion of respect for human rights by U.S. personnel didn't begin at Abu Ghraib or Guantanamo Bay, and the responsibility for it goes all the way to the top.

corporate mix CD's

2005-06-03T14:32:00.000-04:00

Ever since mix tapes came on the scene, the RIAA and the Federal Government have been ticketing and fining small retailers for carrying them. At first it was not a big issue but now that the music industry is involved, it is unjust.

This day in age the music industry is giving mix CD deejays new music to put on their mix CDs as a promotional tool. They even pay a lot of these deejays to have their music on the mix CD. These deejays then go out and sell their CDs to people and retailers. But retailers get hit with heavy fines for carrying these CDs. This does not make any sense. The big corporate monster of a label pays deejays, deejays in turn sell their CDs to stores and the stores get a ticket. Sounds crazy, but it is 100% true. What is sad is that the big wigs at these labels are probably chilling with the police chief in their area.

This is just another case of the man sticking it to the small guy.

the art of a disc jockey

2005-05-30T16:26:00.000-04:00

When deejaying first started, people used two turntables and a device to switch from one of the tables to another. Well, the art form has well advanced since the early days. But has it gone to a point where the original form has almost disappeared. I'll explain:

The art of a Hip Hop disc jockey consists of many skills.
1. Vinyl is essential. These days their are a lot of tracks that are not available on vinyl, so the use of a CD player helps, but if it's on vinyl, then that's what you need to use. Vinyl is sheet music while everything else is a digital recording of music. A lazy DJ that's not into the Hip Hop art form will supplement the use of vinyl with lame excuses.
2. You must learn how to properly mark your vinyl and BPM it. Putting your records into plastic covers helps preserve the covers also. You must also group your records for easy findings.
3. Now you must practice your mix. Needle dropping at the breaks in songs, cueing up records, mixing, scratching, blending, is all part of the art form. If you get rid of any of these, then your not fully a Hip Hop DJ.

A lot of DJ's old and new have supplemented the art form to make it easier for them to rock a party. To the end customer, party people, it all sounds good, because most people are not checking for disc jockey skills when they are at the club. But for us DJ's that worked very hard at establishing and maintaining the art form of Hip Hop, it hurts when you see a so-called DJ not using one piece of wax in his set. It's like going to see Beethoven play the piano compared to some techno kid playing a synthesizer. You'll get good sounds from both, but it's obvious whom the master is.

In case you forgot or never seen a real DJ rock a party the way it supposed to be, then check out DJ J-Rocc, when ever you get a chance. If more DJ's thought and spun like him, then maybe corporate America would not have its claws so deep into Hip Hop!

Peace to all the DJ's that still use wax.
