There are two rappers that get on my nerves. And always find a way to get on my nerves.

50 Cent has called you a “whore†repeatedly. Where is your comeback rhyme already?Lil Whoopie: Man, I have to call him and say thank you. He’s catapulted me. N*gga, white people know me now! Thank you! Diss rhyme? Fcuk no? That n*gga thrives off that. I am not feeding that tiger. I’m smart. Do you see his size? I’m small. I saw a YouTube video of this dude playing a concert; somebody threw water on imâ€"he took off his hat, went in the crowd, grabbed the n*gga and boom! I was like, This n*gga’s the hardest n*gga on planet Earth. So no, I’m not dissing 50. And I’m not throwing water on him, neither.

Two words say it all: "I'm small."
Now you're a small fry, huh? Sounds like an early cop-out to an over-hyped album that he knows deep in his heart he will never be able to deliver. It's plain to see why the release of Tha Carter III is taking so long to drop. After all those magazine covers and months and months of claiming ownership the hip-hop throne, it's kind of hard to force yourself to make a classic album, now isn't it? Which is why he's backing down ahead of time. So when the joke of an LP hits the shelves and turns out to be full of sh*t, he'll be able to resort back to his earlier claim: "Hey... I'm just a small guy compared to the others. I'm still learning."
But weren't you just the "best rapper alive"? Weren't you just "better than Jay-Z"? Weren't you planning to ruin the legacy of a few legendary Brooklyn rappers by coming out with a mixtape called Hello Brooklyn?
Now all of a sudden you're "small." And afraid of 50 Cent. Okey dokey.
And 50 Cent aint sh*t. Any dude who bows down to some clown, fabricating-ass rapper is an idiot. This dude is hanging off Fif's nutsack harder than he jerks rhymes, swag, style, and charisma from every rapper he was influenced by.
And we can't forget Curtis getting his cards pulled in Africa {watch -- 1:40}. You portrayed a thug's image, they tried you, and you didn't do sh*t... except take a few steps. And later made sure homey faced criminal charges. Negro, please.
WTF is wrong with these rappers? They become mesmerized by these gangster flicks, get in the booth and rap about it, then get faced with reality and turn bitch. If it was a known fact that they got homey for snatching his chain, Curtis was supposed to hunt him down and teach him a lesson, according to his rhymes.
And spare us with the little advice. 50 can't even sell records like he used to anymore, but all of a sudden he's become an expert on what "sexual songs" the next man should and should not release. How about dishing out tips on when and when not to lash out at your boss? When Curt got too big and arrogant to control himself, he lashed out at Iovine... and lost everything.
Be he aint talking about that one.
And in further Sean Bell news, Al Sharpton--along with two of the victims, Bell's fiancee, and nearly 190 others-- were arrested yesterday during the Sean Bell rally. After blocking traffic at the height of evening rush hour they were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.
Now that Sharpton's sipped the (pimp) juice, I wonder if he'll get that write-up in history books that he's been hoping for. I'm still having a hard time excepting this guy as "our" civil rights activist.
The latest case of police brutality are the fifteen cops that jumped three black men in Philly.
Good luck with that.
Ha, tell'em Reckless. But to be honest, I think most of us are over 50 Cent. Not that I was ever a big fan to begin with (before and after he blew up). But his formula isn't working anymore.
Sohh reckless you need to get a life...this is the worst post ever...plus Lil Wayne is talkng physically not musically...ASSHOLE !!!!
@reck
damn that was the gayest quote i ever read, i thought u was reaching when u said he was sucking 50 off...........
-
nuff respect too sharpton, i know people dont phuck with him like that but u gotta respect his actions.
-
shout out to the regs
its good to see the beef aka miscommunication of nim, pz,. and anyone else vs bigup is resolved.
-
PHUCK THE POLICE!!
RECKLESS STOP BEING A HATING BITCH AND SENSORING PROPLE ON HERE. PLUS GET OFF 50'S COCK! HE SAVED MY LIFE WHEN HE SIGNED SPIDER LOC TO OUR LUCRITIVE DEAL. EVEN THOUGH SPIDER'S WEBSITE IS NO MORE ITS STILL ALL GOOD!

REAL TALK IN THE MOTHERFUCKING HOUSE NIGGER...I HOPE
-
Man, Reckless keeps blocking my postings. I hope this gets through. I had something real serious to say yesterday and he/she blocked it.
Isnt it odd the new York columnist is trying to encourage a souther rapper to go against a queens,NY rapper? fact is apart frm Nas & Jay and maybe Busta...50 Cent is the only dude keepn NY afloat. hate it or love it
Okay reckless you can quit blocking me now homey... No hard feelings they're just comments, but yeah Hip Hop is dead... LIl Wayne just now made it official to me that he's a homosexual for real, fucc the rumors... And 50 cent single handedly is destroying rap music... Anything else?
It osunds like you really be buying into the music these nuccas is spitting....... Dont we be the ones who crap on these artists for "Life Imitating Art", calling them stupid, ignorant, nigger, etc.. But then when they talk reality and keep it real (I.E. Wayne saying physically, Fif would body him......Very True), they get barked on still. I swear its a lose lose with cats these days.
Lil Wayne my fav rapper...and i was wondering when he was juss gon come clean and let niggas know why he aint dissin 50. He's a bitch and he scared of fifty.....he a studio gangster.
I love him as a artist, but i dunn got non respect 4 him as a man.
Man Reckless you're a trip homie! I see now Recless likes the underdog. when 50 was coming up he was blogging about how real he is and how he's the hardest from NY now he's hating, not that Wayne is the hottest he's hating him. It's clear Reckless is just a hater. Wayne is smart, 50 money is too long to disucss him. And like I said before, this is why NY won't rise, because ya'll n*ggas are haters. 50 went 2 million with an album that everybody had minus I Get Money & Ayo Technology 2 months before it came out. Your hottest rappers barely go 100K. His mixtapes are always hot and he puts out the right songs, minus Amusement Park. G-Unit all day!
U really think wayne needs to respond dont you?? Nann wayne shouldnt put his energy into that man cause thats what 50 needs to be revelant a battle....if anything wayne takes it as a compliment cause its a sign hes one of if not the hottest rite now...thats y 50 keeps callin his name. It also shows you really cant think for crap and just like to clown dudes based on ur nobody opinion
I still see Reckless is still posting the same nonsense day in and day out. You know the saint doesn't even listen to 99% of all the new rap songs.
-
As far as the 50 Cent/ Wayne beef, I have to commend Lil Wayne for not getting caught up in senseless beef. But from a religious standpoint, both 50 Cent and Lil Wayne are going to hell. Wayne is going not because he drinks syrup (remember Jesus used to get crunk off of that lean back in the day), but because he backed down from 50 Cent. This is why 50 is going to hell as well. It clearly states in the White Mans Bible an "eye for an eye". So when 50 Cent didn't chase down that African booty scratcher after he snatched his chain, he basically said "eff you God". Ya'll be blessed.
SALAMI!

Ahhhhh,some more hate directed toward successful rappers coming from dirty backpackers.
I'm not surprised at Reckless's emotions this morning.
This comes on the heels of the very HOT and highly successful SMASH HIT "Lolli Pop." LOL!
Lil Wayne is smart!
In fact,Wayne is conducting himself in a manner that Reckless criticized Fat Joe for NOT acting .
If my memory serves me correct,I believe that Reckless "dissed" Fat Joe in a past retort for yet again,making the same mistake of taking 50's bait.
Face reality Reck...
No one cares about rappers like "S.o.u.l. Purpose."
Along with laughing at the antics of some of the commentators on the last "S.o.u.l. Purpose" blog.
I also laughed as I noticed that practically NO ONE left a comment about "S.o.u.l. Purpose."
Oh,By the way...
Be on the look out for "The Carter 111."
Unlike N*gger,this cd will be dropping.LOL!
*Cracks Knuckles*
iight first off, stop fuckin hating like seriously i dont know what you have against dude but its getting ridiculous whats this your 84th post on 50, like it or not he's the only New York nigga besides Jay thats still doing his thing, you talkin bout his "flop" you know how many record execs would kill to have a rapper do those "flopping" numbers today. I think it has gotten to the point where niggas just want him to fail and mad he doesn't, 50's next album could be a classic and niggas still won't give him credit because they just want him to go away. And you sound ignorant as well, theres laws nigga 50 would be a fuckin fool to risk goin to jail over a funky ass chain, wtf is street cred its 2008 we in the hater era, everybody cant stand the next nigga
I LISTENED TO THE LAYER MUSIC YESTERDAY I WOULD'N LET MY DOG CHEW ON THAT WACK @SS S*IT
Lil Whoopie: Man, I have to call him and say thank you. He’s catapulted me. N*gga, white people know me now! Thank you! Diss rhyme? Fcuk no? That n*gga thrives off that. I am not feeding that tiger. I’m smart. Do you see his size? I’m small. I saw a YouTube video of this dude playing a concert; somebody threw water on im–he took off his hat, went in the crowd, grabbed the n*gga and boom! I was like, This n*gga’s the hardest n*gga on planet Earth. So no, I’m not dissing 50. And I’m not throwing water on him, neither.

meanwhile he talks alotta gangsta s#!t on his songs, I told cats this dude was'nt real, but NO, I gotta be all types of haters & whatnot because stupid n!99as R stuck in the Weezy Matrix.
anyway, Peace 2 The Usuals

Reckless you sound like a little bitch. You mad cause 50 fucked your girl. Why all the hate. If you have that big of a problem with 50 why don't you get in his face and tell him so he could knock your damn teeth out. You know you bought 50 album. Stop the hate and get off they dick.
Yall excuse me but I am not a 50 Cent hater so let me just say I can respect his business game that none of these lame azz rappers can't get together! Oh and I don't see him in and out of jail either like these other stupid rappers! I ain't no 50 fan either but you have to keep it real! Fo real yall. Business is business fo real! Ya Digg! Stop hatin, that disease is bad.
Yeah that sounds real smart reckless, stop a show in front of 20,000 people you're being paid for to go catch some KID (WHOS MOM TURNED HIM IN, NOT SOME "HE MADE SURE HE GOT CHARGES" LYING B!TCH) runnin off with your fake stage chain (50 never wears real jewels on tour) and beat the hell outta him and catch a case like all these other dumbass rappers in jail (see: remy ma, prodigy, dmx, foxy, t.i., soon wayne, ect.)
Or, you could let security and the cops handle it and keep it movin cause you're worth 400 MILLION!!!!!! God yous a stupid b!tch Reckless, you come out your face and look so butthurt over 50 every time you talk about him. Okay, so lets see, Immortal Technique should go kill the president, and Sean Price should stomp out your fukkin grill to, or maybe Crooked I should curb stomp you?? NO RAPPER DOES WHAT THEY SAY IN THEIR RHYMES, IF THEY DO, THEY END UP LIKE THE DUMMIES IN JAIL. Sheesh, what did you JUST figure that out or something??
You are so ignorant its rediculous, and do you even listen to music or just cry?? Fact is GUnit has the UNIVERSALLY AGREED best mixtapes out in 08. But you never talk about that, just cry like a butthurt exgirlfriend.
Fact is you hate 50 because he stays winning, no matter how much you trash talk, or blog, as much as your lil fingers hurt, 50s gonna stay winning. And how did he "lose everything" because of Jimmy Iovine?? You're stupid, cause Games wig got pushed back just like 50 said. Do your damn homework and know something about anythng before you put you cheetoo cheese and ben & jerrys covered fingers on the keyboard you puzzyclot hoecake. Real Talk.
As for sharpton, everyone in the blog (my real peeps) know Im not a fan of his. But damnit, at least he's doing something. Wheres Jesse? wheres Russell? Wheres Oprah? Noone else is doing a damn thing, INCLUDING YOU, so talkin backwards, you should keep that to yourself. As much as I dont like Al, in this case at least he's doing something. All you do is pizz and moan, and try to promote these wack azz no name artists that'll never blow and break down the ones that have. Grimy ass skank. I hope you get hit by a fast moving 18 wheeler and he backs up to see if it was a deer, and then patches out on ya grill. Kill yourself.
Peas to the real, u know the deal..
1.
A couple quick then I'm out.......
I have to commend Nimrod, Bigup and PZ for working that stuff out. I like some of the stuff I read from 3 brothers I respect and admire. Now we can get back to enjoying the thread.........
As far as Wayne goes, I like the look by him. At least the first part of the response. The second part about 50 being hard is lame.
@Reckless
What was 50 supposed to do when the cat snatched his chain? Run off into unknown territory and risk a gang of Africans waiting to jack him? See, that's what some of the fake don't know. That cat snatching the chain could have had a gun or a crew waiting around the corner to lay 50 to rest. I'm not a 50 stan or defender but I respect his mental acuity. I can tell you from personal experience that it's best to think first before you react. I had a friend whose chain was snatched outside of the Home Run Inn Pizza on the West Side of Chicago and the cat ran into the alley behind the place. We chased him into the alley and it was about 50 Latin Kings with bats and other weapons waiting for us. We got away but it was only because of the amount of people that wait in line on a Friday to eat at the restaurant. So sorry Reckless, your diss falls on deaf ears. Maybe some of these young wannabes buy it but anyone with any street sense doesn't.
Peace to the real.
Oh yeah and GO MAGIC BEYATCH!!!
Detroit is outta gas, the karma caught chauncy billups up on the "magic clock" incident and it will be 2-2 headed back to Detroit and our boys are just gettin started.
Conference Finals anyone???
(praying, lol)
Lil Whoopie: Man, I have to call him and say thank you. He’s catapulted me. N*gga, white people know me now! Thank you! Diss rhyme? Fcuk no? That n*gga thrives off that. I am not feeding that tiger. I’m smart. Do you see his size? I’m small. I saw a YouTube video of this dude playing a concert; somebody threw water on im–he took off his hat, went in the crowd, grabbed the n*gga and boom!

Re: Al Sharpton
I have read over the comments and one struck me as kind of funny.
the one saying at least he is doing something, where is Jessie? ect. What are they doing?
Exactly what are they doing? Do we know? Do we know they aren't doing anything, getting arrested what does that do really? Did it bring Bell back? Get a retrial? Help his widow get a better life for her and her kids?
Jay-Z started a trust fund in private, it was exposed on ALLHIPHOP, and apparently he didn't want people to know.
So until you know for sure with out a doubt that all these other people are doing nothing, lets not celebrate someone that really is doing nothing.

Fighting for America.
By Bill O'Reilly for BillOReilly.com Thursday, April 10, 2008
It was interesting to see my old pal Phil Donahue making the rounds this week promoting his new anti-war documentary.
Shining eyes opened incredibly wide, Donahue fulminated against the Iraq war and brooked no dissent:
The war is evil and that's that.
Donahue's performance brought back memories of my debate with him on "Good Morning America."
Shortly after the U.S.-backed campaign against the Taliban in Afghanistan had begun in October 2001, Diane Sawyer sat us both down and the rhetoric flew like hungry bats at dusk.
Poor Diane.
When the dust settled, Donahue had proclaimed that America was wrong for unilaterally disturbing the Taliban and that a world consensus should have been reached.
After that agreement, he said, a "police action" could begin.
I think I might have called Donahue a pinhead.
Back then, Donahue was routed by public opinion and retreated to his compound in Connecticut to lick his wounds.
But after a period of quiet, the left-wing zealot is re-energized by the mismanaged Iraq war.
To paraphrase Austin Powers:
Phil has his mojo back.
Now, what Phil Donahue thinks is not important in the grand scheme, but what Barack Obama thinks is, and there may be some intersection here.
Recently, a far-left radio guy called John McCain a "warmonger" at a Democratic event in North Dakota.
The senator was on the scene, but did not make a comment.
Since Senator McCain immediately chastised a far-right talk show host who insulted Obama at a McCain event, some believe Obama might have been smart to return the favor.
But, again, he did not.
I believe the reason Senator Obama avoids criticizing the far-left is because he needs it.
Phil Donahue's strongest ally in denouncing the U.S. action in Afghanistan was MoveOn.org, the organization that is now helping Barack Obama raise records amounts of campaign money.
MoveOn, of course, has received millions from far-left billionaire George Soros, who is a huge supporter of a "one world" foreign policy that demands the USA seek world approval before any aggressive action against another country.
It would be unfair to link Barack Obama's foreign policy vision to that of Donahue and Soros because we simply don't know what the Senator's overall world view is.
His rhetoric on Iraq and other trouble spots remains rooted in the past, and he has not yet clearly defined his future strategy.
But there is a chance that, like Soros and Donahue, Senator Obama has some "one world" sympathies.
If so, it would be great if the American people could know that before they go to the polls.
With Iran, al-Qaeda and other dangerous groups causing major trouble for America, it is vital to know exactly how Barack Obama sees this troubled world.
Isn't it?
@ Ereal
Sorry to bust your bubble homie, but I already prayed to God to injure Chris Paul and for the Spurs to win the championship. Your welcome to pray to God for the Magic, but who's prayer do you think He's going to answer first? Besides how did you find time to pray, when you your always on 50 Cents nuttz?

Just face it the Magic is the NBA's version of the the Buffalo Bills. They couldn't get it done when they had Shaq so what makes you think they have a snowballs chance in hell against the Pistons? Maybe the Magic would have a chance if Mickey Mouse was you the team. I mean he does run Orlando . . .I can't think of anything else Orlando is famous for

Beyatch!
THIS GUY SOUNDS REAL STUPID, WHEN YOU ARE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY YOU HAVE TO GO BY THEY LAWS, WHY WOULD 50 CENT RISK THAT TO JUMP INTO A CROWD TO GET A CHAIN BACK. YOU KNOW YOUR BITCH ASS WOULD NOT JUMP INTO A FOOD FIGHT LET ALONE A CROWD IN ANOTHER COUNTRY. WHY TRIP OFF THAT CHAIN WHEN HE COULD JUST GO BUY ANOTHER ONE, AND THEY GUYS MOTHER SNITCHED ON HIM NOT 50.
Yo reckless wut youtube video did you look at? fif didn't just take a few steps, the man jumped into a crowd of savages. they could have easily torn him apart for his shirt, pants, and sneakers, but instead he got his chain back. lol @ you, a hater man i feel sorry that your life is based on that.
[EXPLETIVE] U Reckless!
I'm a g ay man in San Antonio. I will be on the male version of Sex in the City. I'm really pathetic and I try to pawn my feelings on other because I really want them to get close enough so I can offer myself & "services" w/out feeling weird. Sometimes I sit & cry the way my life has turned out. My "saints" as I call them are really apart of my gang, "G AY" gang that is. We go around and rape only 18 yr old boys if they ain't 18 we just kiss them on the neck & let him go. I'm tired of people not taking me w/ affection on here. Somtimes I go to blacktgirls.com to try to quell my thirst for big booty trannies. Ronoldo was w/ me & 3 trannies. I got mad and smacked one of em cause I couldn't hit her/him from the back & then when sh*t when haywire. I love phucking for $$$
when you portray yourself such as a gangsta i expect more instead fif is a disappointment he disses evrybody else but when something happen to him like flopping or getting his chain snatched its always an excuse. If it was another rapper yall a chastise him for it. Its like ghostface said on his album these rappers is all bark and not bite.
"meanwhile he talks alotta gangsta s#!t on his sex tapes, I told cats this dude was fine as hell, but NO, I gotta be all types of haters & whatnot because stupid n!99as R stuck in the heterosexual Matrix.

Wow, Jay-Z set up a trust fund, why dosent he set up a trust fund for Dehaven, and Jaz-O and all the cats that helped him come up he shat on when he blew? Then I'd be impressed. You're right tho, I dont know if they are or aren't "doing something" and trust me if you knew me, you'd know Im not a fan of Slickback Shartpon, but at least he's still drawing attention the problem and not just rolling over because of the verdict. When I mentioned those names, it was in a manner of thinking of who is drawing attention to the issue, because it seems things like this, the jenna 6, the nooses, ect. just fade away because of the right wing media outlets.

Re: Al Sharpton
I have read over the comments and one struck me as kind of funny.
the one saying at least he is doing something, where is Jessie? ect. What are they doing?
Exactly what are they doing? Do we know? Do we know they aren't doing anything, getting arrested what does that do really? Did it bring Bell back? Get a retrial? Help his widow get a better life for her and her kids?
Jay-Z started a trust fund in private, it was exposed on ALLHIPHOP, and apparently he didn't want people to know.
So until you know for sure with out a doubt that all these other people are doing nothing, lets not celebrate someone that really is doing nothing.

Genesis 1
The Beginning
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
6 And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." 7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
9 And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters he called "seas." And God saw that it was good.
11 Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.
14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so. 16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.
20 And God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky." 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth." 23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.
24 And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, [b] and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."
29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food." And it was so.
31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
@Nimrod and React
Sorry for the double post yall.
Here another interesting piece.
What do you think?
McCain's Karma
By Bill O'Reilly for BillOReilly.comThursday, March 20, 2008
John McCain must be wondering where it all went wrong.
Way back in 2001, the Senator joined with ultra-liberal Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold in championing the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, which was supposed to get the fat cats out of the election process.
President Bush signed the legislation into law and it has become forever known as the "McCain-Feingold Act."
Apparently, John McCain resented wealthy Americans gaining influence by giving politicians big dollars to finance their campaigns.
He felt that gave unfair advantages to corporations and rich people.
So the new law limited those campaign contributions, supposedly "empowering" the regular folks.
Enter radical left-wing billionaire George Soros, who quickly drilled a number of loopholes into the law.
Realizing organizations could pour unlimited amounts of cash into the political process if they didn't "endorse" a certain candidate, Soros and his far left guys set up MoveOn.org and other so-called "527 organizations" to wreak havoc during voting season.
Under Section 527 of the Internal Revenue Code, a political organization can get tax-exempt status and spend unlimited money if it champions causes rather than specific candidates.
You can't use money to promote a "Vote for Hillary" theme; however, you can buy TV time saying Hillary is a bad woman, you can opine that McCain and the Iraq war are evil, and you can put forth that Obama hangs out with a nasty preacher.
Get the ruse?
The money cannot be used to tell the folks whom to vote for, but it can be spent to demonize a candidate on the "issues."
So now we learn that Soros and his merry band have put together a number of 527's that will pony up an astounding $350 million for "issue" ads in the upcoming presidential campaign.
That means much of that money will be used to pound John McCain into pudding.
So karma has visited Senator McCain.
His vision of the folks controlling election funding is in tatters.
Now, radical guys like Soros hold a tremendous amount of power, while regular Americans are limited in what they can contribute.
Back in 2001, some astute political people warned John McCain that the zealots would reap the rewards of his legislation, but he didn't listen.
There is no question that a war chest of $350 million can do a lot of damage to any person or cause, especially when there's no honesty involved, as these ideologues can say just about anything.
The print and TV ads will be relentless —everything McCain stands for will be hammered.
After Soros gets through with him, uninformed voters will think Genghis Khan is running on the Republican ticket.
In theory, Senator McCain tried to do the right thing with campaign finance reform—he wanted to limit the corrupting electoral power of overwhelming wealth.
But Soros outsmarted him.
Now, McCain's got a $350 million steamroller coming at him, reminding all of us of an old adage:
"Be careful what you wish for."

First. Peace to the regs. I know it's been a really big show this week (lol) but alas the curtain has dropped. Back to business!
Now, I can't stand all the homo innuendo hip hop has made seem commonplace in our community. It's not necessary. There are enough credible points to criticize both 50 and Wayne on to resort to that. Pure laziness.
@Atheist
I knew you'd enjoy that site. Talking about slavery, race, religion, etc., is not going to prepare anyone for what is shaping up. We live in the NOW. We should keep that in mind always.
STOP STAN!
My mother's parents came from Hungary, but my grandfather was educated in Germany. Even though Hungarian was his native language, he preferred German to all the other languages he spoke. It seems he was able to hold a conversation in nine languages, but was most comfortable in German. Every morning, before going to his office, he read the German language newspaper, which was American owned and published in New York.
My grandfather was the only one in his family to come to the United States. He still had relatives living in Europe. When the first World War broke out, he lamented the fact that if my uncle, his only son had to go, it would be cousin fighting against cousin. In the early days of the war, my grandmother implored him to stop taking the German newspaper and to take an English language paper, instead. He scoffed at the idea, explaining that the fact that it was in German did not make it a German newspaper, but only an American newspaper, printed in German. But my grandmother insisted, if only that the neighbors not see him read it and think he was German. So, under duress, he finally gave up the German newspaper.
One day, the inevitable happened and my Uncle Milton received his draft notice. My Grandparents were very upset, but my mother, his little sister was ecstatic. Now she could brag about her soldier brother going off to war. She was ten years old and my uncle, realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, went out and bought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted. When the day came for him to leave, his whole regiment, in their uniforms, left together from the same train station. There was a band playing and my mother and her friends came to see him off. Each one wore her service pin and waved a small American flag, cheering the boys, as they left.
The moment came and the soldiers, all rookies, none of whom had had any training, but who had nevertheless all been issued, uniforms, boarded the train. The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed, I'm sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son, going off to war. The train groaned as if it knew the destiny to which it was taking its passengers, but it soon it began to move. Still cheering and waving their flags, the band still playing, the train slowly departed the station.

why do you stan so many people?
Everyone dont talk to EREAL he is the stan!
What I see Al Sharpton doing is what I would call the "illusion of help".
He parades around bring "notice" to the issue, b/c clearly nobody's else would know about it.
But what has he accomplished with getting arrested? Really?
I mean it looks great in the press, and on tv but what does it do for Mr Bell's family?
The answer is nothing.
I never said Praise other people that don't say they are doing anything I said don't praise someone that wants to make the appearance of doing something while doing nothing.
Its like when the raise the minimum wage by .25 cents an hours its the appearance of help but really nothing more.

This is my last post then I'm definitely out.
Why is so hard for us to give credit where credit is due. I'm not a Sharpton guy but at least he is trying on this one. While I'm sure it probably won't amount too much, at least he's showing up on the scene. We Blacks have to stop looking for reasons to criticize and just give it a face-value assessment. Maybe Al is a media whore but at least he's showing up on the scene. Da@n it upsets me how short-sighted and boxed in we are as a people. Whether fruitless or not, it's something. I'll take it. Keep trying Al and let these others keep talking. Once again, I'm not an Al Sharpton fan but I respect anyone that isn't just talking about it but being about it.
Peace!!!!!! After this one, it isn't me.

You've got a fast car, i want a ticket to anywhere
maybe we can make a deal
maybe together we can get somewhere
any place is better
starting from zero we've got nothing to lose
maybe we'll make something
be me myself i've got nothing to prove
you've got a fast car
and i've got a plan to get us out of here
i've been working at a convenience store
managed to save just a little bit of money
we won't have to drive too far,
just cross the border and into the city
you and i can both get jobs
and finally see what it means to be living.
you see my old man's got a problem
he lives with the bottle, that's the way it is
he says his body is to old for working
his body is too young to look like this
my mama went off and left him
she wanted more from life than he could give
i said somebody's got to take care of him
so i quit school and that's what i did.
you've got a fast car
but is it fast enough so we can fly away?
we have got to make a decision
we leave tonight or live and die this way
so remember when we were driving,driving in your car
the speed so fast feel like i was drunk
city lights lay out before us
and your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder
i had the feeling that i belonged
i had a feeling i could be someone, be someone, be someone
you've got a a fast car
and we go cruising entertain ourselves,
you still ain't got a job
now i work in a market as a checkout girl
i know things will get better
you'll find work and i'll get promoted
we'll move out of the shelter
buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
so Remember when.....etc
you've got a fast car
and i've got a job that pays all our bills
you stay out drinking late at the bar see more of your friends that you do
of your kids
i'd always hoped for better
thought maybe together you and me would find it
i've got no plans and i aint going nowhere
so take your fast car and keep on driving
I remember when...etc
RECKLESS STOP BEING A HATING BITCH AND SENSORING PROPLE ON HERE. PLUS GET OFF 50'S COCK! HE SAVED MY LIFE WHEN HE SIGNED SPIDER LOC TO OUR LUCRITIVE DEAL. EVEN THOUGH SPIDER'S WEBSITE IS NO MORE ITS STILL ALL GOOD!

Isn't that something that you do for your child.

LMAO! The whole thing is, why you gonna "give back" to someone you dont know and let your people that helped you on the come up starve. Kind of an out there statement, but I see it with most rappers.

observor says...
What I see Al Sharpton doing is what I would call the "illusion of help".
He parades around bring "notice" to the issue, b/c clearly nobody's else would know about it.
But what has he accomplished with getting arrested? Really?
I mean it looks great in the press, and on tv but what does it do for Mr Bell's family?
The answer is nothing.
I never said Praise other people that don't say they are doing anything I said don't praise someone that wants to make the appearance of doing something while doing nothing.
Its like when the raise the minimum wage by .25 cents an hours its the appearance of help but really nothing more.

--------------
this is that same rhetoric
what is barack gonna do for us
rev wright need to sit his arse down
sharpton aint doing nothing
-
on one hand its well what are u gonna do about it
then when someone do something then we critize the person doing it.
-
this is the same thing i read on allhiphop
its all good that jay set that fund for sean bells kid but it would be MORE helpful if he spoke out against police brutality, he's doing this for publicity.
-
u damned if u do and damn if u dont. im not a big sharpton fan either but i respect his actions
-
im not a bill cosby fan
but i respect his action/message
-
to many of us wanna critize and do away with everything instead of 1) comming to an conclusion yourself and 2) seeing the bigger picture.
-
so what would u be saying if sharpton DIDNT do nothing?
see sharpton aint ish, were he aint when theres real problems. the same way heads diss hov about making a diss song for deshawn whatever his name is and not making a song about the sean bell execution, but FORGOT, that jay been put sean bells widow in his i will not lose ads.
Metropolis
This is how you talk about a city you love. You talk about it as if it's the only place in the world where this story can happen.
A friend of mine fell in love with someone when she went for a bite at a malatang one winter night. There was no snow; there is very little snowfall during Beijing winters. The film below the skies turns from yellow to gray, then the winds from Mongolia come and we would say, it's so cold already there might as well be snow. Some days there are, and those are the days when photographers go out to make postcards of fresh powder collecting over the shoulders of the stone lion finials perched on the gables of the Forbidden City.
But those are postcards. There are times you feel cheated when you glance at them and wonder at your inability to recall a greater feeling of grandeur when you had bought them in front of the pagoda. The event, like infinity, had been too big to be grasped and had only given way to frustration, a voice insisting with the strongest conviction and the vaguest meaning that there should have been something more.
I had flown to China with a postcard in my hand. My grandmother didn't want me to. Why should I go back to the place she had taken so many pains to run away from sixty years ago to get to Manila? The Philippines was glamorous then, before it melted in its own torpor. Europe and America creolized in Asia, Què hora es? A las ocho y media, sir, good morning, how d'ye do, how d'ye do? because the sun never sets in the Western empire. Before I left for the airport, my grandmother told me to be careful in the mud alleys.
The postcard I had was a picture of a language university in Beijing that specialized in teaching Mandarin to foreigners. Once in the Philippines, when I was eleven, I had to recite the week's lesson from memory to the teacher in Mandarin class. This was the way we learned the language carved on steles in a tiny family shrine somewhere across the ocean. I had spent the night before reading out loud from my little exercise book and hoping school would be canceled the next morning. It was monsoon season and the floods rose from the gutters blocked with garbage and the beggars' children played naked in the waters. But the storm left at dawn, and memory is unreliable, selective, compressed. The next day I finally received on my palm the two red stripes that I had been avoiding during the entirety of my young life in school.
Eight years later I was sent to Beijing with my parents' blessings, and a friend of mine fell in love one winter night when she went to the malatang.
*
Now malatang kept you warm. That's why my friend had gone to one. I'm not going to tell you what each syllable means; I'm not here to teach you Chinese. I'm here to tell you what Beijing was like beyond the language classes. Malatang was a street-vendor's boiler filled with skewers of meats, innards, seaweed, tofu, and mushrooms that floated in a dark oily soup of chili and cayenne pepper. Malatang was choosing pig intestines and whisking the oil off towards the pavement before burning your tongue. Malatang was huddling together with strangers who looked like you and reading advertisements pasted on electric poles. Malatang was sucking the bitter north wind to cool the spice in your mouth and keeping your eyes from tearing, while the vendor counted the wooden skewers that you had speared into your broken half of a Styrofoam rice box.
Malatang kept you warm and kept off hunger till you reached home.
My friend looked like me and studied in the same building as I did, but she was from Canada and never got stripes for not being able to speak Mandarin. She met a Korean student at a malatang. Love at first skewer just outside the campus gates, where the red-cheeked lady selling small bottles of fermented milk on her bike would look enviously at the little fish-cake stall across from her. Chocolate fish-cakes were pastries shaped like fish with hot chocolate inside, sold for one yuan each. No one bought fermented milk. The man who sold fish-cakes was called 'Uncle;' business was doing so well that for one week Uncle's stall disappeared because he was hiding from the police for making too much money without a license. He reappeared just in time for the winter frost.
The Koreans are invading the Beijing suburbs, but the city is still the stronghold of the Europeans. I have a map of what old Beijing was like in 1936, drawn just before World War Two. The Legation Quarter used to be on Chang An Road; now Chang An Road is lined with malls enclosing the Forbidden City. The foreign embassies have been moved to Jianguomen, in the Chaoyang district, European Union flags flapping over the wire fences. Europe is extraordinarily chic in Beijing nowadays; the city is making up for lost time. I have seen the diplomats' children in Chaoyang, with their white skin, brown hair, big blue eyes; pudgy eleven-year-olds speaking Mandarin over the counter at the coffeehouse. They never got stripes either, I would suppose. The cafè where I saw them had French movie posters on the walls and it was next to a little stationery shop that sold notebooks with old paint advertisements from Copenhagen printed on the cover.
I went to the Philippine embassy once, for fun. The building looked tiny and abandoned and there was no flag on the pole. The Chinese guard saw me looking behind the gate and chased me away from where I had stood. I hadn't brought my passport with me. If I had he would have opened the gate for me and I would have danced past him.
*
NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER WANTED. My friend had found a company searching for someone to teach English to their representatives, but they turned her down, saying she looked too much like a local. This is a story in Beijing. It is not likely that it would have turned out another way. It is likely that an Italian with a working facility in English would have been hired, but my friend did not look Italian.
He spoke little English and she spoke no Korean, so they used the language they were only beginning to grasp. In the brokenness of the Mandarin they spoke, they found the distance that they would need for their own defense later. All of us who knew transience understood that what happened in Beijing stayed there.
I met my language partners every Friday in the school library, two local girls who wanted to practice their English with me, but they frequently slipped back to Mandarin because there were too many interesting questions to be asked. How can you be Chinese? How can you be Filipino? How can you speak English? You speak Filipino too, right? How do you say, 'How do you do?'
I taught them to say kumusta, simplest thing in the world, contraction of como esta, consonants crunchy and hard, vowels wide and open. Back in the Philippines, some people would be so surprised with my speaking Filipino that they would forget to stop speaking English with me. Would you have to marry a Chinese too? You speak a little Chinese too, right? How do you say, 'How do you do?'
A French friend in Beijing, whom my language partners had first accosted, had referred Miao Ban and Xin Feng to me. Xin Feng spoke English with the recklessness and confidence of someone who wanted to learn. Miao Ban was made of inquisitiveness and less eloquence, looking for Xin Feng for the frequent translation.
What do foreigners think of us? Why does the government forbid Chinese people from entering your churches?
I did not quite look at their eyes. Perhaps if I had greater proficiency in their language, I would not have sounded so simplistic.
We foreigners look at the Chinese with the awareness that we come from a different world, I said.
How?
We think there are certain problems in the kind of government that cause a great deal of difference.
But certainly other countries, your countries, have your own problems as well!
This was Miao Ban. She knew where this would lead to if we pursued it.
It's different, I said vaguely, my vocabulary failing me. We shouldn't be talking about it here.
Oh, it's fine! Xin Feng. We know about those things that shouldn't be talked about.
I raised my head to see if anyone else was listening. There was a local Chinese boy two chairs down, buried in his book.
How is it different?
I found myself talking about the 'free world' as if months before I would not have laughed at myself for using those two words with such idealism in the Philippines. But when a language fails you, you use wide blanket statements and say to yourself, This conversation isn't so important anyway. Every minute I looked up to see if the middle-aged lady who had come and was standing nearby could hear us.
Xin Feng and Miao Ban brought me out for dinner. Across the restaurant was a frozen lake, fenceless, unwatched. I had never stood on iced water before. It was too dark to see how the ice was, but it seemed thick enough, and I stamped on it, the cold escaping into the soles of my shoes. Figures of twos or threes whispered and laughed softly around me, but the lake was quiet and the world was calm.
*
My friend's story does not have a happy ending. Very few of the international romances begun in Beijing by foreigners extend beyond the airport. This is a fact. There is a clear, identifiable glance that passes between lovers when a friend asks one of them for any plans to stay longer. It is silent, urgent. It is a source of anxiety because it is a perfunctory question frequently asked. BEIJINGERS ARE FRIENDS TO ALL THE WORLD / Beijing shi shijie de peng you says the blue billboard on the way to Sanlitun. The translation into English is slightly inaccurate. Beijing is the world's friend. Good for Beijing. For the last few years, the world had suddenly been just as eager to become Beijing's friend.
*
Sanlitun is in Chaoyang. Listen to Sanlitun crackling with neon life, Chaoyang laughing across its new skyscrapers and the cranes building more - a vibrant young man who has discovered that life is only beginning and that foreign women find him handsome in a suit. Ten years ago Chaoyang had been the poor man's district, waterlogged in its farmlands.
Sanlitun Bar Street is luminous after dusk, the sounds of entertainment eviscerating. My friend goes there with him every Saturday. The waiters stand outside the street, chanting the English they knew. Hello! Hello! Beer! When they see a white face they thrust themselves in front of it and go for the arm.
Both of them stumbled out of a bar into the fresh air, their steps uncertain from the alcohol.
'I am thinking of moving apartments soon,' he said as they slipped into a little alley that led to the labyrinth of old Beijing, the hutong. The brick of the dusty courtyard homes filtered the thunder from the bars. There are very few lights in a hutong at night.
'You have found one that you like more?' she asked.
'The Uncle in the fish-cake stall says he knows the landlord of an apartment that is cheaper and closer to the school.'
In the dimness of the light my friend bumped into a row of bicycles. The metal rang and the bicycles began to crash one after the other. A little yellow light went on in one of the scratched windows and someone began to curse. Laughing, both of them ran out of the alley and back to Bar Street.
'Would you like to share my new apartment with me?' he shouted as they returned to the blinding light of the traffic.
'Yes, I would like that very much!'
It would have been romantic if they had looked at the stars. But stars are rarely seen in the haze of Beijing.
*
I've gone walking in a hutong during lunch hour in spring. Pots of rice and cabbage boiled outside sheds made of iron sheets. The aroma of garlic and meat coming from the makeshift vents smelled of a home. Many of the crumbling brick walls washed in dirty white were marked with the word chai. Chai means to demolish.
Once I had stood before the Imperial Palace in the Forbidden City, hat in my hands, waiting for the realization to engulf me. It had only been in Beijing that I learned to say 'ancestors' without feeling too self-aware. But the tourists jostled around me, stepped on my foot, faces glowering in irritation at the sight of the crowd shoving each other to see the Imperial Throne, and the realization never came. The tourists in Beijing are the Chinese from Hong Kong or Taiwan or the other provinces in the mainland. They call my province Overseas.
I went to parks often to escape the crowds. One of them had a small pavilion midway the hill, the small inlaid paintings of willows and lakes on the ceiling restored. When I reached the pavilion, a few lights were turned on softly and old fifties music was being played and people were dancing. They were middle-aged, people who could have afforded to take dancing lessons. The music crackled through a radio somewhere. Some wore cocktail dresses; others office clothes. Swing, tango, waltz. They shook their arms and legs to help their blood circulate after every set as people walked around to change partners, their faces drenched in perspiration. Then the music would start and they would laugh and take each other's arms and twirl over the floor, these old people, lost in the sepia-colored music I was hearing. Spring was turning to summer. I sat on a nearby bench, feeling the air turn humid, and a dragonfly landed on my shoulder.
*
My friend and her boyfriend went traveling to Tianjin the weekend after they moved to their new apartment. Tianjin is Beijing's neighboring harbor city, two hours away by bus.
There my friend saw the saddest opera singer in the world. Up on a pavilion the middle-aged lady was dressed in her gaudy finery, a green lace tunic over a white gown with sleeves to the floor. Her face was powdered with the rouge of Beijing opera and she wore a headpiece of braids. The pavilion was in the middle of the souvenir bazaar that had been built for the tourists. People were looking at maps, calling lost friends on mobile phones, and had crowded there, drawn by the human tendency towards collectivity. She sang to the tourists in Tianjin, her eyes far away, one hand on her heart, the other arm up in supplication. She looked exhausted. The people below the stage came and went. The boyfriend took a Polaroid of the opera singer and the heads of the tourists, and my friend had written on the back in English: The meaning of indifference.
*
The indifference is almost symbolic. In Beijing, a pregnant woman dressed in raggedy overalls kneels on the sidewalk, her stomach bulging, her eyes caught in an empty stare at the asphalt. A rusty pan sits between her spread knees and she seems to be on the verge of giving birth.
Now you want to know how many people stop to put change into her pan to see if it matches with what my friend had written on the back of the Polaroid.
I had stood there on the sidewalk, all senses stirred by the lovely sorrow of it all. If only I could have taken a photograph. But I had driven past worse scenes of poverty in the Philippines where I had learned I didn't want my money spent on drugs or drunk husbands. When I walked past her, I looked at the pan. A few cents.
I once read in a magazine in Beijing about a man aboard a train who had been accosted by an old woman when the train stopped at a station. Through his window she tried to sell him cold bottles of mineral water, but he didn't want to buy any because he knew she would slink away without giving back his change. As she coaxed him noisily through the window, he grew more and more revolted by her presence until he resigned himself and pulled a note out to buy himself some silence. As she handed him a bottle, the train began to roll. The old woman had his change in one hand and she tried to run after his open window, her arm outstretched. Your change, your change! He was entranced by the sight. In her haste the old woman tripped and fell, and when she raised her head he saw a trickle of blood on her forehead.
I saw more pregnant women kneeling on the streets on different days. To redeem myself I finally gave a few notes to a bent old lady who cried her thanks to me while I turned and walked away.
Once, an old man in tatters and his sick wife stopped me on the way back to the university. His accent was missing the Beijing growl. He said they had come to the city because his wife needed to go through a surgical operation for her stomach. The wife was moaning to herself and her husband was close to tears. They were hungry and needed some money for a subway ticket to the hospital.
I told them to wait. I went to a small restaurant nearby and bought them two meals and bottled tea. Both of them were crying. I gave them some money for the trip, and as the old man took the coins he whispered to his wife in a dialect before thanking me and turning away.
A week later I heard someone saying that he had just given an old couple from the provinces some money for a subway trip to the hospital because the wife needed surgery.
It's very hard to talk about indifference without a photograph.
*
The months passed quickly. We overcame our brokenness in the language. We couldn't rely on blanket statements anymore to cover us with indifference.
*
'Have you decided which computer to buy?'
'Sort of. One of my Korean friend's classmates has a desktop she wants to sell before leaving Beijing. I'm going to take a look at it sometime this week at her house.'
'Her?'
'You can relax, she knows I have a girlfriend.'
'I'm not even going to dignify that with a response.'
'By the way, I've been thinking, I'm probably going to transfer schools next month.'
'Oh? Why's that?'
'Too expensive here. And there's a cheaper one nearby, the one across the bakery. You know that?'
'Oh, that. Yeah, I do. It's pretty small.'
'Yeah, but it's not bad. You're going to be looking for work when you get back to Vancouver, right?'
'Yeah. When you finish your bachelor's then go bum around in China for a while, you know it's time to get a job.'
'If I'm lucky, I can get a good job next semester and earn enough to visit you before I go back to Seoul with the proficiency certificate.'
'That's too tempting. Don't get my hopes up.'
'It can happen.'
'Well, what about after Seoul?'
'What?'
'I don't know. Everyone's just been asking.'
'Well, what if I ask you what happens after Vancouver?'
'Were you thinking of asking me that?'
'We still have two months left. I wasn't planning to ask you today.'
'We have to decide on something. I'm going to have to buy the plane ticket soon.'
'Do you think you can, maybe, just stay for another semester?'
'You know I can't do that. At some point, you're going back to Seoul.'
'I don't know when I'm going back to Seoul. I can keep on studying. I can tell my parents I still need to study more. Even if I pass the Chinese test and get a certificate, I can still keep on studying, get a job here -'
'That's stupid. You can't do that.'
'If you just tell me you can stay here -'
'You know my parents want me back home. You're Korean! You'd have a good idea what Chinese parents are like. They're not that different.'
'Hey, I know you better. It wouldn't be just family pressure. You'd at least try to fight for it if you really cared. '
'Okay. Okay. You know what? It's like this. I don't even know if it's going to be worth the effort.'
'What do you mean?'
'I mean...I mean, I can't just drop everything and stay here forever. I had a life somewhere else too.'
'But you're always saying how Vancouver is too slow and how nothing happens, that there's not enough there for you and Beijing is -'
'I know, I know, but I was already in the middle of something there. If I decide to stay here, I'll have to start new for real, and...and this was...I was only supposed to be here for a year. Everything has been great, everything good and bad, but I've just never thought that...that...do you see?'
'Look, I'm just...I don't know.'
'You know you're not going to stay in Beijing forever either, and...and I just don't see the point.'
'So what do we do? We just visit each other?'
'I don't know, all right? I don't know.'
'All right, there's still two months anyway.'
'All right.'
'Are you done with your plate?'
'Yeah. Thanks. Hey...come here. I'm sorry. You know we'd have to go home sooner or later.'
*
Beijing was a little detour to keep off the hunger till we reached home. That is why we write stories of it so we won't forget. That is why my friend's story cannot have a happy ending.
If I had found a home in Beijing, where I am disguised by my skin, where I am a nameless unit in a sea of faces, where I am finally part of the majority until I speak and the accent reveals everything, I would have forgotten all my wonder.
Only a foreigner writes a Beijing story like this.
*
The city is covered with sand. The Gobi Desert is next to Beijing and it inches closer towards the capital every year, threatening to choke it in a matter of years. When spring fades into the summer, clouds of sand move in and the sky turns into the color of unwashed fur. Waves of grit collect, and driven by the wind, they move languidly across the cityscape like gigantic phantoms, slamming into the first building that comes into their way and enveloping the horizon in an explosion of gray. The winds are tempests, and umbrellas are blown inside out across the streets. The sand is blinding and fills every orifice of your face to be spat out afterwards.
My friend had been watching the sandstorm from her apartment when I arrived. As I shook the sand from my hair and tried to mend the bent spokes in my umbrella, she said, 'He went out to buy some milk.'
I went to the toilet and washed my face. When I came out she gave me a Polaroid with the picture of a Beijing opera singer. 'A photo we took when we went to Tianjin. I know you like that sort of thing.'
'Thanks.' I read what she had written on the back. 'So how are you guys doing?'
'We're fine. You want anything to drink?'
'Thanks, but I have to go back to the dormitory soon, I still have a few things to do.' I unzipped my bag and brought out the DVDs and the books I had borrowed from her. 'These really kept me company during the nights, by the way.'
'You're welcome. So what's waiting for you after Beijing?'
'Looking for work in the Philippines, I suppose. Or maybe I'll go to Hong Kong and teach English there. Something.' I finished stacking the boxes on top of the television. She was looking at the sandstorm again. 'Are you sure you're all right?'
She shrugged. 'I think he's going to call it quits before I leave.'
I leaned against the wall and looked out the window with her. The storm was growing more ferocious. 'I've always thought that he always seemed to be the martyr type. Maybe he just doesn't want to lead you on with false hopes.'
'We could always call each other everyday.'
'Yeah, but for how long?'
She didn't answer immediately. She sat down on the couch and looked at the ceiling. 'He won't be leading me on. I understand how difficult this all is. I mean, if it all just falls apart in the future, it won't be completely unexpected.'
'When do you think he'll tell you?'
'I don't know. Hopefully not on the day I leave because then I'll be bawling my way to the airport.' She had crossed her arms and was staring at the floor. 'What do you think I should do?'
I slung my bag on my shoulders and moved towards the couch. 'I don't know. If you think he wants to break up, there's nothing much you can do. You still have a few days left. Just make the most of it.'
'You'll have to go back to the storm, won't you?'
'Yeah, I have to start packing now. You're done with yours, right?'
'I'm halfway through. Anyway, in case I don't see you again before I leave.' She rose and hugged me. 'Write me when you get home.'
'Of course.' I hugged her back. 'And thanks for the Polaroid. That was pretty random.'
She laughed, a little more quietly than she used to. 'Just get out of here.'
'Tell me what happens afterwards, all right?' I said as I opened the door.
I went down the stairs and twisted the knob. The gate gave a metal clang and I left the building. Then I opened my umbrella and started walking into the sand.
*
My friend left Beijing three days before I did. I heard from a few friends that they did break up, but I haven't heard from her since we parted. I think a great deal of Beijing winter and the malatang. I wonder how he could stay there seeing everything that would remind him of her.
This is how you talk about something you love. You tell why. And in the end it's really all about remembering. How the sun rose above the granite and concrete. How the pigeon flew above you, the whistle around its tail feathers trilling. Sometimes I remember it so well that I can still feel the sand being crunched between my teeth.

Real Talk, Damned if u do, Damned if u dont. People are on that alot lately.
Mama's outside, barbecuing ribs and links,
It's Juneteenth, but to me it don't mean stink.
It's a day of emancipation, but everybody wonder why
Willie ain't celebrating.
But things ain't perfect.
I'm looking beyond the surface.
So instead of drinking beer, and playing Dominoes,
I'm sitting in the room with my eyes closed.
(chorus)
White man and the mental yet ta black ol'shade,
White man and the mental yet ta blacd ol'shade?
For tellin' black mon no matta the dum'smarta rich
If the matta mo'mon jus a white mon's bitch
De givin us crack to let the ghetto people
Coming to the problem of the world,
blaming racial discrimination when they fuckin' up the self,
Willie D slap the thigh, and K-Rino crack despise
black mon get the government dick out ya eyez
(Willie D)
Follow me now, see, as I get a little deeper,
they think I'm a drug dealer, 'cause I wear a beeper.
But if I wasn't black, and I talked all proper,
they probably think I was a doctor.
I try to have the finest things in life,
but when I get'em, they say I'm not living right.
They search my house and car for no reason,
like it's muthafcukin' goddamn n!99a season.
And it is when U think about it,
they hunt yo' @$$, treat U like an animal, and bragg about it.
It's like a cop turnin' vicious as a 12-gauge
no wonder why he gets his picture on the front page.
Now even if you're light, and damn near white,
you'll get smoked, B-cuz yo' in the same boat tryin'
to surround yourself with white
folks in your video,
like Paula Abdul she's a silly ho.
Although U only might be one-percent black troop,
they still consider you a moo.
But she say's she ain't black, so how da' fcuk she figga?.
Yo b!tc#, u still a nigga.
(chorus)
Government broke in my house with they guns
so they busin' and breakin' cos' they paid to no one
Now they have a murder rap and they makin no stros
so I'm facin' incarceration in the police station,
There wasn't a b!tch or a wicked assassin
since they comment homicide
offering to tend protection
resist conviction
cos the shot from da'honest white mon
now to hear some muthafuckin run.
(Willie D)
True n!99as retaliate, they don't run.
I say we n!99as 'cos they treat us like scum.
So get a nose job like Michael Jackson
Go to a white school, and change your accent.
U STILL A N!99A, so how da' fcuk U figga
since U moved out da' neighborhood,
and datin' a peckerwood,
that you're different from the rest of the clan.
Tryin' to get a job, and count how many doors slam.
Goddamn, I'm on a roll.
I can't forget about my bald head h@es
To some, it's a fashion,
to wear weave and pony tails,
but the other h@es wanna be white girls.
Whodini said "Be Yourself, Trooper,"
U don't see white folks tryin' to act BLACK do ya.
So why U laughin' at the brotha in dreads,
u neet to get the chemicals out yo' own motherfcukin' heads!
No matter how U aim and change your game
and rearrange your frame, U STILL A N!99A!!!

Heres your stan, his name is Brian from irvine. He has horrible spelling and grammar and tends to repeat himself and stay on a few select ballsachs daily. If you're wondering about the increased stan activity here, its because his "arch rivals" [II] "og hater" and "hate hate n more hate" havent posted anything for him to repeat his lame disses to. That and craig hasnt psoted a blog in a week, hence the stannery / f@ggotry we've seen increase in our blog lately.
Hello, Brian from Irvine aka Gunot Killa aka Westcoast Post aka HTown Clown aka Westcoast is the Bestcoast aka 100 million names.

yo homie,
watch what U say, he's gonna come 2 Ur town & "do something 2 U, as soon a s Spider Loc fronts him the money 4 a Greyhound bus ticket" LOL, that is, if U believe this rubberneck is real, which I'm pretty sure U don't believe that crap, cuz I don't.
Funny how my comment doesnt get posted, Reckless.
I am swamped today, yall. I won’t be on here much at all today.
@ E. Frazier:
If you see a football lying in your drive way and you pick up and let us say that as soon as you pick it up you see your sons walking out the door I bet your next course of action will be you putting your brief case down, taking off you coat or jacket and yelling to your kids “come here – I want you to run “such and such†pattern while your brother defends you – now as soon as I see some separation I will hit you in stride for a completion.â€
My point is some times even as adults the impulsiveness and attractiveness of child’s play at times can over takes the best of us. I second Nim’s sentiment that it is great that the curtain is down and we all can move on. I will try to curtail some of my aggressive responses and exercise more maturity but every one must understand that I am work in progress – lol.
As for the blof topic - First of all Wayne’s pandering to 50 is sickening. Whether we like it or not Wayne really is sitting on top of the Game right now so he should know that he doesn’t have to pander to anyone. It really is his time to shine. Btw; I don’t dislike Lil Wayne. I am not what I would call a fan but I don’t dislike him.
In terms of 50 right now he is really a real interesting figure to observe. He is a smart dude and I think that he recognizes that he is where Em, Dre, Jay Z were in the end came for them which is they can still make music and have fairly decent success doing it but every time they do make music the law of diminishing returns happens meaning the more you add to your body of music (at this point) the less it is appreciated. Like for me I don’t want Hov to make anymore music. That Kingdom Come joint was pure trash but he redeemed himself with American Gangsta - so my feeling is stop there and don’t give us anymore new music. I mean I wish Shaq would call a present conference today announcing his retirement because the more seasons he plays the more the legend of Shaq will be diminished.
So I think 50 is in that position right now. I think Jimmy Iovine understands that as well and that is why 50 is starting to feel a sense of equality at interscope now as oppose to his regular privilege treatment and status. Now Em pretty much retired when he got to the point (and I know he is dropping something again soon but this is after years of being away from the game). Jay z has pretty much focused on other business ventures while dropping an occasional joint or two (which again I want him to stop doing that) and Dr. Dre has been sort of semi-retired whereas he will produce a track here and there and manage his artists but basically he is chilling out.
So with 50 as an artist having that kind of Em, Dre, Hov late career status and with his two best artists gone (Game and Buck) and not having a super-stud rapper in his camp it is just interesting to see as business man what will be his approach. Will he close up shop at G-Unit and attempt to be the next Will Smith, Ice Cube, Ice Tee, Eve or Queen Latifah (No homo) who all are pretty much accepted now as respected citizens of the television and film industry or will he fail at it like Ja Rule, DMX, Exhibit (although he is still trying), Game (he just can’t act – I have seen two films of his now and I am sorry game but you just don’t have it, Kid), Nas, YoYo, Kool Moe Dee, Big Daddy Kane, Beenie Segal, Freeway, Method Man, Redman and countless others. I actually think that Cam with some work could be a good actor. I can’t remember the joint I saw him in but he was decent in it. Em was good it his autobiographical joint but he was playing himself so the jury is still out him.
So does 50 go to Hollywood and try to succeed were most rappers have failed or does he get more involved with his other business ventures outside his music business. Does he fold G-Unit up all together? So I just want to see how he moves next.
One final note - I have not liked anything I have heard off of TOS (G-Unit) or LAX (The Game) so far. I don’t care about numbers but for those of you who do if both Game
and G-Unit do not go back to the lab they both may experience their first major flop.
Anyway, I am out for the rest of the day, yall.
Peace!
Oh 1 last thing that image of 50 up top is terrible. I am not picking on 50 but any images like that be it 50 or Barak obama or whomever should be rejected by those of us who are parents and not let our children play those kinds of games. That image is awful.
I'm out!
@ EREAL,
is it true what I heard about what 50 did on iTunes with Fat Joe's album?
I heard that if U purchase Fat Joe's new album, U're actually getting the G Unit mixtape
50 cant sell records?????????? i guess no one can sell records..... dont let the hate blinde you
damn so its No Win!...i think Wayne was being humble and not giving in to 50s bullsh*t...THAT IS NOT A BAD THING...
so reck,...do you want wayne and 50 to battle or beef?...what would be the point?
..let weezy ride out and do his thing...He's being smart if u ask me...
and... a #1 billboard hit is not a bad start to an album release
..no way in hell Carter 3 will be a failure...AND I DONT EVEN LISTEN TO WEEZY like that..HOLLA..

The key players in the Sean Bell case
Updated Friday, April 25th 2008, 12:08 PM
Â
Detective Michael Oliver - Oliver was a man about town and a regular at Chelsea's Bungalow 8 - where he was nicknamed "Undercover Mike" - before he fired 31 shots at Sean Bell's car. Oliver, 36, has lain low for much of the trial. A high school dropout with a wild streak, Oliver became an ace vice cop with more than 600 arrests in a 13-year career. He'd never shot his gun on the job before. As a rookie, he was accused of making racist remarks in 1995 while arresting a black cabbie and slamming his head through a car window. The city settled the case for $10,000.
Detective Gescard Isnora - The Brooklyn-born son of a Mexican dad and a Haitian mom, Isnora fired the first shot at Bell's car, followed by 10 more. A 29-year-old officer with dozens of arrests to his credit, he lives in Brooklyn with his mother. Prior to joining the Club Enforcement initiative, he worked in narcotics.
Detective Marc Cooper - A Brooklyn narcotics cop, he has been on the force for 18 years - much of it in Manhattan. He fired four times at Bell's car. Cooper, 40, who grew up in the Bronx, has been struggling to support his wife and three kids since he was placed on modified duty. Friends said his base pay isn't enough to pay the mortgage on his Orange County house and he's had to take out loans to stay afloat.
Joseph Guzman - Bell's buddy was shot 16 times and survived. Since then, Guzman, 32, has undergone painful rehab and gotten engaged to longtime companion Ebony Browning, the mother of his two children. A sometime construction worker, Guzman's record includes nine arrests for drug offenses and a conviction for armed robbery which was overturned. Guzman is being kept afloat by $10,000 from Al Sharpton's National Action Network. He has sued the city for $5 million.
Trent Benefield - Badly wounded in the Bell shooting, the 24-year-old Benefield was arrested a year later for beating his teenage girlfriend Nyla Page Walthrus. She is the mother of Benefield's 16-month-old son. He, too, has been surviving on money from Sharpton and is suing the city for $5 million. Benefield's rap sheet includes a gunpoint robbery in 2002 and a drug bust in 2004.
Nicole Paultre Bell - The mother of Bell's two daughters, the grieving fiancee legally changed her name to Bell and donned a wedding ring a month after Bell was killed on his wedding day. A constant presence in the courtroom, Paultre Bell is also getting money from Sharpton.

DA: No deal for Jews accused in attack on black man in Crown Heights
BY ALISON GENDAR DAILY NEWS POLICE BUREAU CHIEF
Thursday, May 8th 2008
The Brooklyn district attorney's office refused to accept the surrender of two Jewish men accused of beating an unarmed black man in Crown Heights in exchange for more lenient charges, sources told the Daily News.
A lawyer with more than 30 years' experience dealing with the Hasidic community tried to broker the deal, sources said Wednesday.
Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes turned the lawyer away, electing to have a grand jury continue to probe the April 14 attack on Andrew Charles, a 20-year-old college student.
"This kid was first Maced and then hit by someone with a nightstick," a source said.
"It is not a misdemeanor assault no matter how you cut it."
Charles, a sophomore at Kingsborough Community College, was walking along Albany Ave.
when a white attacker on a bicycle sprayed him with Mace, police sources said.
A GMC Envoy then pulled up and a second man got out and hit Charles, the son of city cop, in the back and arm with a nightstick, police said.
An adviser to the Charles family said both attackers were wearing yarmulkes.
George Farkas, the lawyer who attempted to cut the deal with the DA's office, said he was trying to defuse the situation.
"I don't know who did it, and I didn't represent to anyone that I have the power to surrender anyone," Farkas said.
"What I did do is point out the perception in the community of special treatment in this case.
"Would there be a grand jury if the kid's father was not a cop? I think we know what the answer is," he said.
A spokesman for Hynes declined to comment.
Hynes impaneled the grand jury after community sources said Charles' attackers were part of Shmira, an anti-crime Crown Heights neighborhood patrol.
The patrol was allegedly in the area the night of the attack answering complaints from Jewish residents that black youths, ages 11 to 13, had been hurling rocks into their yards.
Witnesses to the assault have not cooperated.
The investigative grand jury can bring perjury charges against witnesses who refuse to reveal what they saw.

Wayne not sucking Fif's sack he just speaking the truth fifty the kind of rapper who can take anything you say about him out of context. Even fifty said it lil dude is smart he knew getting into a beef with 50 doesn't help your career look at all of the rappers 50 bodied Fat Joe, Ja Rule & the whole murder inc fam, Jadakiss & D-Block,Cam'ron, Game, and soon to be young buck. Getting in a beef with fifty is not a good look for your career.

May 8, 2008 2:22 PM
what's gonna happen if we don't stop hatin'
50 is like most modern era rappers in that he perpetuates negative stereotypes of black males for a buck. Where he differs is that no one has come close to the financial rewards in as short a span as he has. All of his financial peers in hip hop had roughly a decade if not more head start on him. Meteoric is the word that best describes his ascension.
Now, the criticism that goes his way is not broad enough. By singling him out it comes off as PERSONAL although it may not be. The makers of those games and and other rappers big and small should be called to task as well.
My issue with 50 is a lil different. Sometimes desperation will force us to do things we know are wrong but he more than anyone has enough money to not tap dance anymore unlike say, Papoose. Not that it'll be right for Pap but I could rationalize it more.
It's like the drug dealer who has rooms full of cash yet he still pushes death. He can't say he had to feed his family anymore so he must either be too dumb, lazy or just plain enjoy pushing poison.
I wonder which one 50 is.

@ Nim,
U already know that cat needs 2 beef with somebody in order 4 his records 2 sell, but I guess the rest of his peers have seen through his charade
I'm just butthurt that Snopp Floppy Flop can't sell over 300k and that the Left side of this country is dead like the left side of Nate Dogg's body.
SNOOP IS 11 MILLION SOLD AND MORE AS AN ARTIST HIS LAST ALBUM SOLD MORE THAN THE WHOLE EASTCOAST ALONE THIS YEAR IN 08, SNOOP SOLD ONLY 296,000 COPIES, THAT'S MORE THAN THE WHOLE EASTCOAST IN 08 LOL EASTCOAST IS DEAD LIKE BIGGIE, BIG PUN, OLD D B, AND JAMASTER JAY...........LOL AND YALL THOUGHT LIL MOMA WAS GOING TO BRING THE EASTCOAST BACK .LOL
@Dre
I don't think it's about record sales alone anymore. He needs records to sell because his musical popularity is the foundation of all his business opportunities. However, he has so much money he no longer has to rely on that to make money. His money can make him money but what would be missing is the ATTENTION I believe is his real drug. Most entertainers are addicted to the same thing. The roar of the crowd is intoxicating and when it ceases no amount of money can substitute. Can't say I've been in that position myself but I personally know a handful of celebs who have. Being washed up is no joke. LOL!

Hip hop is both a cultural movement and a genre of music developed in New York City in the 1970s primarily by African Americans and Latinos.
Since first emerging in The Bronx and Harlem, the lifestyle of hip hop culture has today spread around the world.
The four historic "elements" of hip hop are: MCing (rapping), DJing, urban inspired art/tagging (graffiti), and b-boying (or breakdancing). The most known "extended" elements are beatboxing, hip hop fashion, and hip hop slang.
When hip hop music developed in the 1970s, it was originally based around DJs who created rhythmic beats by "scratching" a record on one turntable while looping the break (an upbeat drum and rhythm phrase of a song often found in soul and funk music) of various records on another, which was later joined by the "rapping" (a rhythmic style of chanting) of MCs.
The word hip was used as African American Vernacular English (AAVE) as early as 1904. The colloquial language meant "informed" or "current," and was likely derived from the earlier form hep. Hip hop pioneer and South Bronx community leader Afrika Bambaataa credits the first use of the term "Hip Hop," as it relates to the instant culture to Lovebug Starski a DJ who put out a single called "The Positive Life" in 1981.
Keith Cowboy, a rapper with Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five has been credited with the coining of the term hip hop in a musical sense. Though Lovebug Starski, Keith Cowboy, and DJ Hollywood used the term when the music was still known as disco rap, Cowboy claimed to have "created" the term while teasing a friend who had just joined the US Army, by scat singing the words "hip/hop/hip/hop" in a way that mimicked the rhythmic cadence of marching soldiers. Cowboy later worked the "hip hop" cadence into a part of his stage performance, which was quickly copied by other artists; for example the opening of the song "Rapper's Delight" by The Sugarhill Gang.
Bambaataa, a former Black Spades gang member, is credited with first using the term to describe the subculture that hip hop music belongs to, although it is also suggested that the term was originally used derisively against the new type of music.
In the early 1970s, Clive Campbell, a Jamaican born DJ who went by the name "Kool Herc," arrived in New York City. In Jamaica, Herc was known for his dancehall beats, a key component to the movement of music in NYC and the Bronx. This idea of dancehall had nothing to do with where the music was played, but more of a feeling of getting the people of Kingston, Jamaica to get on their feet and dance. This music, known as reggae, became a staple in the new music made in the Bronx.
Herc introduced the Jamaican tradition of toasting, or boasting impromptu poetry and sayings over Reggae, Disco and Funk records, during parties held in parks in the Bronx, New York.
Herc and other DJs would tap into the power lines at public basketball courts to connect their equipment and perform. Their equipment was composed of huge stacks of speakers, turntables, and one or more microphones
Herc was also the developer of break-beat deejaying, where the breaks of funk songs—the part most suited to dance, usually percussion-based—were isolated and repeated for the purpose of all-night dance parties.
Later DJs such as Grandmaster Flash refined and developed the use of breakbeats, including cutting and scratching
The Bronx building "where hip hop was born" is 1520 Sedgwick Avenue, where Kool Herc started spinning records,
and is now eligible to be listed on the national and state register of historic sites. The approach used by Herc was soon widely copied, and by the late 1970s DJs were releasing 12" records where they would rap to the beat. Popular tunes included Kurtis Blow's "The Breaks", and The Sugar Hill Gang's "Rapper's Delight."
Emceeing is the rhythmic spoken delivery of rhymes and wordplay, delivered over a beat or without accompaniment. Rapping is derived from the griots (folk poets) of West Africa, and Caribbean-style toasting.
Rap developed both inside and outside of hip hop culture, and began with the street parties thrown in the Bronx neighborhood of New York in the 1970s by Kool Herc and others. It originated as MCs would talk over the music to promote their DJ, promote other dance parties, take light-hearted jabs at other lyricists, or talk about problems in their areas and issues facing the community as a whole.
Melle Mel, a rapper/lyricist with The Furious Five is often credited with being the first rap lyricist to call himself an "MC".
Hip hop as a culture was further defined in 1983, when Afrika Bambaataa and the Soulsonic Force released a track called "Planet Rock." Instead of simply rapping over disco beats, Bambaataa created an innovative electronic sound, taking advantage of the rapidly improving drum machine and synthesizer technology. The appearance of music videos changed entertainment: they often glorified urban neighborhoods, commonly called ghettos.
The music video for Planet Rock showcased the subculture of hip hop musicians, graffiti artists and breakdancers. Many hip hop-related films were released between 1983 and 1985, among them Wild Style, Beat Street, Krush Groove, Breakin, and the documentary Style Wars.
These films expanded the appeal of hip hop beyond the boundaries of New York. By 1985, youth worldwide were laying down scrap linoleum or cardboard, setting down portable "boombox" stereos and spinning on their backs in Adidas tracksuits and sneakers to music by Run DMC, LL Cool J, the Fat Boys, Herbie Hancock, EPMD, Soulsonic Force, Jazzy Jay, Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde, and Stetsasonic, just to name a few. The hip hop artwork and "slang" of US urban communities quickly found its way to Europe and Asia, as the culture's global appeal took root.
The 1980s also saw many artists make social statements through hip hop. In 1982, Melle Mel and Duke Bootee recorded "The Message" (officially credited to Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five), a song that foreshadowed the socially conscious statements of Run-DMC's "It's like That " and Public Enemy's "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos."
During the 1980s, hip hop also embraced the creation of rhythm by using the human body, via the vocal percussion technique of beatboxing. Early pioneers such as Doug E. Fresh, Biz Markie, and Buffy from the Fat Boys made beats, rhythm, and musical sounds using their mouth, lips, tongue, voice, and other body parts. "Human Beatbox" artists would also sing or imitate turntablism scratching or other instrument sounds.
Early hip hop has often been credited with helping to reduce inner-city gang violence by replacing physical violence with dance and artwork battles. In the early 1970s, Kool DJ Herc began organizing dance parties in his home in the Bronx. The parties became popular and were moved to outdoor venues to accommodate for the amount of people attending. New York City teenagers, after years of gang violence, were looking for new ways to express themselves.
These outdoor parties, hosted in parks, became a means of expression and an outlet for teenagers, where “Instead of getting into trouble on the streets, teens now had a place to expend their pent-up energy.â€
Tony Tone, a member of the pioneering rap group the Cold Crush Brothers, noted that “Hip-hop saved a lot of lives.â€
Hip hop culture became an outlet and a way of dealing with the hardships of life as minorities within America, and an outlet to deal with violence and gang culture. MC Kid Lucky mentions that “people used to break-dance against each other instead of fighting.â€
Inspired by Kool DJ Herc, once-gang leader Afrika Bambaataa created a street organization called Universal Zulu Nation, centered around hip hop, as a means to draw teenagers out of gang life and violence.
Hip-hop was not only centered around violence, drugs, and weapons like most people thought in the early days. Many people used hip-hop in positive ways. "Young black Americans coming out of the civil rights movement have used hip-hop culture in the 1980s and 1990s to show the limitations of the movement."
Hip-hop gave young black Americans a voice to let their issues be noticed. It also gave young blacks a chance for financial gain by "reducing the rest of the world to consumers of its social concerns."
This shows that hip-hop's social impacts on the country have not been all negative. It has positively affected many youth and encouraged them to voice their opinions on world and personal issues. "Like rock-and-roll, hip hop is vigorously oppose by conservatives because it romanticizes violence, law-breaking, and gangs"
Both hip hop and rock-and-roll were musical movements use by teens in order to express how they felt about certain issues. "Last night at the Waldorf-Astoria, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, who proved that hip-hop was more than party music with their 1982 hit “The Message,†became the first hip-hop group to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame"
Now hip hop and rock-and-roll are used together in many ways including rewriting songs where a rapper or rock band play with the other.
With the emergence of commercial and crime-related rap during the early 1990s, however, an emphasis on violence was incorporated, with many rappers boasting about drugs, weapons, misogyny, and violence. While hip hop music now appeals to a broader demographic, media critics argue that socially and politically conscious hip hop has long been disregarded by mainstream America in favor of gangsta rap.
Though created in the United States by African Americans and Latinos, hip hop culture and music is now global in scope. Youth culture and opinion is meted out in both Israeli hip hop and Palestinian hip hop, while France, Germany, the U.K., Brazil, Japan, Africa, and the Caribbean have long-established hip hop followings. According to the U.S. Department of State, hip hop is "now the center of a mega music and fashion industry around the world," that crosses social barriers and cuts across racial lines.
National Geographic recognizes hip hop as "the world's favorite youth culture" in which "just about every country on the planet seems to have developed its own local rap scene."
Through its international travels, hip hop is now acknowledged as a “global musical epidemic,†and has diverged from its ethnic roots by way of globalization and localization. Although some non-American rappers may still relate with young black Americans, hip hop now transcends its original culture, and is appealing because it is “custom-made to combat the anomie that preys on adolescents wherever nobody knows their name.†Hip hop is attractive in its ability to give a voice to disenfranchised youth in any country, and as music with a message it is a form available to all societies worldwide. Even in the face of growing global popularity, or perhaps because of it, hip hop has come under fire for being too commercial, too commodified, too much about money and bling-bling. Artist Nas said it himself in his 2006 album Hip Hop is Dead. While this of course stirs up controversy, a documentary called The Commodification of Hip Hop directed by Brooke Daniel interviews students at Satellite Academy in New York City. One girl talks about the epidemic of crime that she sees in urban black and latino communities, relating it directly to the hip hop industry saying “When they can’t afford these kind of things, these things that celebrities have like jewelry and clothes and all that, they’ll go and sell drugs, some people will steal it…Many students see this as a negative side effect of the hip hop industry, and indeed, hip hop has been criticized all over the world for spreading crime, violence, and American ideals of consumerism. In an article for The Village Voice, Greg Tate argues that the commercialization of hip hop is a negative and pervasive phenomenon, writing that "what we call hiphop is now inseparable from what we call the hiphop industry, in which the nouveau riche and the super-rich employers get richer". Ironically, this commercialization coincides with a decline in rap sales and pressure from critics of the genre. However, in his book In Search Of Africa, Manthia Diawara explains that hip hop is really a voice of people who are down and out in modern society. He argues that the “worldwide spread of hip-hop as a market revolution†is actually global "expression of poor people’s desire for the good life,†and that this struggle aligns with “the nationalist struggle for citizenship and belonging, but also reveals the need to go beyond such struggles and celebrate the redemption of the black individual through tradition.†This connection to "tradition" however, is something that may be lacking according to one Satellite Academy staff member who says that in all of the focus on materialism, the hip hop community is “not leaving anything for the next generation, we’re not building.â€
As the hip hop genre turns 30, a stronger analysis of the music’s impact has taken place. It has been viewed as a cultural sensation which changed the music industry around the world, but its commercialization has turned many to see the negative aspects of hip hop; the marriage of “New World African ingenuity and that trick of the devil known as global-hypercapitalism.†Its transformation from a cultural expression into a value of money has turned it into a “mainstream that had once excluded its originators.†While this has been seen to be true in many ways, hip hop has allowed for a shared common identity among its followers and originators. These different aspects of analyzing hip hop’s influence expose the dangers of popular music and mass production of cultural output.

Sharpton: Philly Beating 'Worse Than Rodney King' PHILADELPHIA
(CBS/AP) ― The Rev. Al Sharpton called a videotaped police beating of three shooting suspects in Philadelphia "worse than Rodney King," prompting the city's police commissioner to chide anyone "fanning flames ... from afar."
The civil rights activist made the comments Thursday as he interviewed the mother of one of the suspects on his radio show.
Thirteen police officers have been taken off street duty as police investigate the television news footage, which shows officers kicking, punching and beating the three black men during a traffic stop Monday.
"I've not seen anything like that since Rodney King, and it's worse than Rodney King, and we cannot allow our community to be under siege," Sharpton said.
"We've got to stop this nonsense in our community, acting like you got to be a certain level black to be treated within the law."
Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said he does not believe the confrontation was racially motivated, but instead thinks that tensions in the wake of the weekend slaying of a fellow officer played a part.
The beating occurred at the same time as police were conducting an intense manhunt for a suspect in the slaying of Sgt. Stephen Liczbinski, 39, who was killed responding to a bank robbery Saturday.
He was the second city officer killed on the job in seven months.
At a news conference Thursday morning, Ramsey called the confrontation a "black eye" for the force and "an embarrassment to the entire department."
In an interview later in the day with The Associated Press, Ramsey said: "I know everybody's trying to make this into a racial thing. I don't believe it is."
"We just had a policeman murdered on Saturday ... and emotions are running high," he said.
"There's no excuse for it, but fanning flames, and making accusations from afar, is not in anybody's best interest," said Ramsey, who was named to the post just four months ago after serving in the same role in Washington, D.C. King, who is black, was videotaped being beaten by white Los Angeles police officers after he was stopped for speeding in 1991.
Four officers were acquitted of most criminal charges in 1992, triggering rioting in Los Angeles and neighboring cities that left 55 people dead and caused $1 billion in property damage.
In the Philadelphia case, officers who stopped the car Monday night believed its occupants had been involved in a triple shooting a few blocks away.
They included members of a narcotics unit working the area and patrol officers called in response to the shooting.
The three suspects -- Dwayne Dyches, Brian Hall and Pete Hopkins, all of Philadelphia -- were each charged with attempted murder and related counts in connection with the shooting, according to court records.
Leomia Dyches complained to Sharpton on Thursday that she could not see her son when he was in the hospital. Ramsey noted to the AP that he was in custody at the time, charged with attempted murder.
All three suspects were treated at a hospital soon after the confrontation, Ramsey said, and they were being held Thursday on bail of $100,000 or more.
The commissioner pledged to send the department's preliminary investigation to the District Attorney's Office by next week.
If prosecutors decline to file charges, he will deal with the officers involved internally, he said.
Ramsey said he did not know the race of all the officers on the scene -- there were about 15 -- but said that at least one sergeant involved is African-American.
The Internal Affairs unit is still working to enhance the tape and identify all of the officers in the footage, a department spokesman said.
Sharpton's remarks came a day after he was arrested along with hundreds of other demonstrators as he blocked traffic to protest the acquittal of three New York detectives who fatally shot an unarmed black man in on his wedding day.
Ramsey said the beating does not reflect the behavior of the whole Philadelphia department, and cast a shadow during a time that should have been focused on the period of mourning for Liczbinski, whose funeral will be held Friday.
Mayor Michael Nutter has also criticized the officers' behavior, calling it unacceptable.

Hello, Brooklyn!
I'm just coming in and posting for the first time. I read the topic and only had two quick sound bites... and B covered it. Co-sign... except for that last quote about F-ing you-know-who (hahahahahaa.)
Forreal, though, Reck. If these dudes make u so sick, why do you clog your blog with topics on them??? Lil Weezy sounded very small... too small... him being a whore, I wouldn't be surprised if "the big homie" didn't pay him off for that quote - or maybe they have a joint venture coming soon. All I know is, Weezy being "warm" to Fif is going to keep Young Buck at bay, assuming Buck decides to role with Weezy and company again.
And, yes, as much fire Sharpton catches from me, you have to give respect when it is due. While they were marching, I was visiting the local shops by Flatbush and Atlantic after work - needed a tie.
The media attention is good. And a peaceful march as opposed to rioting and looting is good. But this has to go up a step, towards litigation.
Praying for Sean Bell's legacy. Something positive should come out of this tragedy

When u get to a certain status, that hood mentality gotta be toned down, the hip hop cops out (ask T.I.)!

Ticketmaster? LOOOOL!
"When Curt got too big and arrogant to control himself, he lashed out at Iovine... and lost everything.".... you are kidding right? Everything?? Jimmy took that Glacaeu $40 Million too did he?
I saw Sharpton preach once when he was running for mayor I think. (He's always running for something so I get confused) He's a brilliant, eloquent, charismatic figure.
I wish Al could win these cases but he rarely does which is frustrating to me. In my opinion the cause is usually right but the methodology is rarely the best course of action. By now even he knows this so what's really the goal?
I just don't understand why Diallo's family or Louima's family or all the recipients of Al's support in the past weren't at the courthouse the day of the verdict. Louima could've paid everyone's airfare with all the millions he received from the city with the support the black community gave him throughout. There's a selfishness that undermines us in our community and that has to be addressed at some point. To whom much is given much is required.
As far as Philly goes I haven't seen the tape nor do I know the details. Philly is called Killadelphia these days because black men are slaughtering each other at an alarming rate. Seems to me there should've been outrage long before this incident. As bad as the beating was these young men are alive. What about the dead? Are we so against hold each other to ANY standard that we silently condone self inflicted genocide?
Right or wrong brothers have to realize and accept how the images we promote and embrace affect how we are dealt with. Some of us have thoroughly convinced people we are savage brutes so you can't cry out when you get treated like one. You ask for it you will get it. I wish people like Al would speak on that while admonishing the police who definitely need to be checked. We make it too easy for people to mistreat us and get away with it with our own behavior and actions at times.
As much as I hate to say it, there are always times when heavy handed tactics are necessary to control those who respect and understand nothing but force. That's across the board. Some people you just can't reason with. I'm not talking about police in Philly alone, I'm talking about every facet of life. There must always exist people willing to get their hands dirty and set examples so the rest of us can sleep easy at night.
That is an uncomfortable truth but it is the truth nonetheless.
those down south rappers dont like to beef real talk yall are hatin on weezy cuz he dont wanna beef? u niggas make me laugh. Beef is all yall thrive on he jus wanna make music da fux wrong wit that really instead of beefin he wanna make music n yall dont like it lol
I UNDERSTAND FROM A BUSINESS STAND-POINT WHERE LIL WAYNE IS COMING FROM.
I DO WEB MARKETING; WHEN 50 CENT MADE THE VARIOUS LIL WAYNE STATEMENTS, HE BLESSED LIL WAYNE TO A MARKET THAT NEVER HEARD OF HIM (HIS GOOGLE STATS & STOCKS WENT UP).
IF LIL WAYNE CHOSE TO BEEF WITH 50 CENT: #1 TO COSTLY, #2 CLOSE THE DOOR TO ANY BUSINESS WITH 50 CENT.
MOREOVER: I DONT THINK 50 CENT DISLIKES LIL WAYNE; SOMETIMES PEOPLE WILL PICK A FIGHT WITH YOU BECAUSE THEY LIKE YOU AS A PERSON OR WISH TO FIND OUT WHAT YOU ARE MADE OF.
LASTLY: IF LIL WAYNE WERE ON A G UNIT OR ON SOME G UNIT MARKETING, HE WOULD BE GETTING THE THE MONEY HE IS WORTH.
LIL WAYNE @ BMI SHOWCASE

You havent even heard C3 and ur claiming it to not be a classic WTF? Also 50 fuckin chased that lil nucca ass bitch u stole his chain so stop hatin on two of the few good rappers out today dickhead
@Nimrod
I saw the video footage on NY1 and the cops beat those guys up pretty bad.
I dont know if i would say that the Philly beating was as bad as the Rodney King incident but i could see how another person could percieve the two incidents as being similar.
Watching the footage created the same feelings in me.
In this country youre innocent until proven guilty but if those guys was out there doing something that they werent supposed to be doing,then they got everything they deserved.
Im not too fond of a$$holes who prey on the weak or innocent.
If you want to be a worthless criminal for the rest your life,then fine,keep that amongst your kind and kill yourselves off...
It sounds kind of foul but if i knew that i could keep getting away with it,then a lot of these fools would be getting picked off.
I kind of like plotting and scheming on evil degenerates,so a lot of dudes should be thankful for their lives and repent,or whatever they do...
You must of tired to get signed by Fif? Cus you seem scorned.lol
50 SUCKS AND WAYNE DID DISS HIM ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS EXAMPLE ON HIS SONG A MILLI "OKAY YOURE A GOON BUT WHATS A GOON TO A GOBLIN" I go by them goon rules if you can't beat em then you pop em,
You can't man em then you mop em,
You can't stand em then you drop em,
You drop em cause we pop em like Orville Redenbacher,
