Santana - Maria Maria

This was my shit hard back in the day. I remember I copped the single from the fetus and I used to bump this shit hard singing along to it on the bus to school. straight killen em.

GETBACK

Another hot new record released today is Little Brother The Get Back. This shit is yet another classic on their list. At first i was skeptical of LB without 9th then I rethought that very quickly
as soon as I decided to pop in the Listening and remembered why little brother is my favorite rapping duo of all time. Yes I said it. So of course their new joint would be on point. Then after seeing the hefty roster of producers on the Get Back and I knew it would be hot. And just as I thought the getback is a beginning to ender just like the listening. They put up the entire album for listening on their myspace. So go sample it then go cop this TODAY.
fun fact** The female that sings on a few of the tracks Carlitta Durand is a Mpls native.

The Real Thing: Words And Sounds, Vol. 3

The Real Thing is Jill Scotts latest studio album. I just recently acquired this album and it is amazing, from beginning to end it is a very solid souful record. She touches on so many genres from her style of rock n roll to blues to neo soul, pop and hip hop. The production on this is outstanding, I'm not sure who it is but it is some serious shit. Since Ive copped this its strictly been on blastmode in my speakers. If you dont have this you need to cop it right now!!! I am absolutely in love with Jill Scott. Her voice puts me to sleep every night.
Heres a Sample:

ALL HATERS LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO HATE ON FEEL FREE TO HATE ON ME.

Scientist claims black people "less intelligent"



One of the world’s most respected scientists is embroiled in an extraordinary row after claiming that black people are less intelligent than white people.

James Watson, a Nobel Prize winner for his part in discovering the structure of DNA, has provoked outrage with his comments, made ahead of his arrival in Britain today.

More fierce criticism of the eminent scientist is expected as he embarks on a number of engagements to promote a new book ‘Avoid Boring People: Lessons from a Life in Science’. Among his first commitments is a speech to a London audience at the Science Museum on Friday. The event is sold out.

Dr Watson, who runs one of America’s leading scientific research institutions, made the controversial remarks in an interview in The Sunday Times.

just an exertheres the rest.

Southside occurrences.

So my mother calls me early this morning and says, "Just calling to make sure your not dead." I'm like "woah what does that mean? I didnt even drink that much last night" then she told me about how someone got stabbed to death in my alley. So I call my roommate to see if he knew about it and he told me that it happened right in our driveway and that he talked to the police and had seen the guy laying in the there.
This shit is sketchy. I was riding home on my bike last night at like 4'00 the police were at our house at like 6'00. shit is going down so seriously in my wonderful neighborhood of the southside.

In the most light I can make out of this situation heres a couple videos from some stabbers that we all know

T.I.P arrested for buying machine guns

How dumb can one human being be. Someone please enlighten me.


By Nolan Strong(allhiphop.com)

Rapper T.I. was arrested in Atlanta yesterday [October 13] by agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) after he allegedly attempted to purchase three machine guns and two silencers from an undercover agent, acting as an arms dealer.

In addition to the three machine guns found in his College Park home, police also recovered six additional firearms from a closet in the rapper's house.

T.I. has been charged with felony possession of unregistered machine guns and silencers and possession of firearms by a convicted felon.

According to U.S. Attorney David E. Nahmias, T.I. allegedly sought to purchase an unregistered machine gun, as well as numerous other weapons.

T.I. allegedly paid almost a total of $21,000 in cash to his bodyguard to purchase over 25 firearms on his behalf.

The bodyguard, who was acting as a cooperating witness, told agents that he was purchasing the machine guns on T.I.'s behalf because the rapper is a convicted felon.

The man, who had been employed since July 2007, allegedly purchased nine weapons for the rapper as well as one weapon on behalf of another, unnamed individual.

The bodyguard purchased a total of nine weapons for T.I. and 17 for others on behalf of T. I., because of his prior felony conviction, which prevents him from legally owning firearms.

"Machine guns pose a serious danger to the community, which is why they are so carefully regulated," said David E. Nahmias, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia. "The last place machine guns should be is in the hands of a convicted felon, who cannot legally possess any kind of firearm. This convicted felon allegedly was trying to add several machine guns to an already large and entirely illegal arsenal of guns. Thanks to the good and quick work of ATF, he is now in custody and his firearms have been seized."

The bodyguard, acting as a Confidential Witness [CW] placed a series of phone calls to T.I., which were recorded by the ATF.

The CW called T.I. and said "he had everything," referring to machine guns he was allegedly supposed to purchase on behalf of the rapper.

On October 12, T.I. called the CW and ordered him to deliver the weapons yesterday [October 13].


"This investigation developed very quickly," said Vanessa McLemore, Special Agent in Charge of ATF's Atlanta Division. "We learned only this Wednesday that the cooperating witness was allegedly buying the machine guns for Harris. The cooperating witness told Harris on Thursday that he had obtained the items, and on Friday Harris made it clear that he wanted them delivered to him today. Harris then agreed to meet and took possession of the machine guns this afternoon. He now faces serious federal charges and a potentially long prison sentence."

T.I. will remain in federal custody until Monday, October 15, when he will appear before US Magistrate Judge Alan J. Baverman at the United States Courthouse in Atlanta.

Big Daddy Kane cries.

By illseed from allhiphop.com

BIG DADDY KANE CRIES?

Lookie here, y’all. Big Daddy Kane IS the blueprint of so many rappers, I don’t even need to start the list. Being a legend is a full-time job and BDK clocks in with the Hip-Hop Honors tour, along with Skillz, The Roots and MC Lyte. Now, I didn’t know this, but the concept of the tour is The Roots and company perform old school Hip-Hop songs to the glee of the crowd. Anyway, the crew had a date in Philly last night and I heard after the Big Daddy Kane set – it was so dope – the crowd started screaming, “We’re not worthy.” I heard that they said it so much that Kane got emotional and dropped a tear or two from all the love the crowd gave him. From what I heard, after the crowd said, “We’re not worthy” for three minutes straight, Kane spoke.


He said to them (something like this), “All I ever wanted to be was considered one of the best and be respected by my peers in the 80’s. Never in my life, did I think that 22 years later y’all would show me that same love. There are kids here that weren’t even born then and know my lyrics word for word.” I heard Kane apologized for getting emotional and said “This is all an MC can really ask for and this means a lot.”

James Brown's Estate Gets Robbed



Is it hard to rest in peace after living a long life? Apparently so if you’re James Brown. Months after finally being buried, drama continues to invade the afterlife of the Godfather of Soul, as a former trustee is under the microscope for misappropriating $7 million of the singer’s money.

The discovery was made after special administrators to the estate informed a Judge Monday (Sept. 24) of the trustee’s misappropriation. As a result, state circuit Judge Jack Early ordered David Cannon, the ex-trustee to pay $370,000 back to the estate, on top of $350,000 he repaid last month.

The Associated Press reports that Early gave Cannon 10 days to repay the additional $370,000 and 20 days to pay $30,000 for attorney fees and to produce other documents.

Louis Levenson, an attorney for several of Brown’s adult children and grandchildren, mentioned that other trustees for the Brown estate also mishandled late singer’s money, and that his clients are trying to remove all three trustees and have special administrators appointed to handle the estate.

In the meantime, James is rolling over and doing splits in his grave from not being able to pimp slap the people who are supposed to be handling his business.
