What say you??-Hottest MC’s in the Game

It’s that time of year for Hip Hop heads and haters alike. MTV’s Top Ten “Hottest MC’s in the Game” list is coming out. And it’s sure to be filled with mayhem and foolishness and I’m sure some really hurt feelings (i.e. 50 Cent and Snoop after last year’s listing). Numbers 9 (Andre 3000) and 10 (T.I.) have already been released the rest will be announced on May 16th, on MTV.

So the great debate is who will make the list. While anyone with sense ( and over age 20) is probably hoping for real lyricists and conscious rappers to make the list., I’m pretty sure some ignut mess will slip in. So who do you think are the hottest MC’s in the game??

Wesley Snipes gets 3 years in Prison!!!!

He better get used to scenes like this one

Wesley Snipes is getting 3 years in Prison!!!! He’s been taken into to custody just a moment ago.

Dang I thought Judge Joe Brown would have helped.

on top of that he still has to pay $5 million dollars, and a year of probation!

Brotha this is Florida, we can’t vote but we sure know how to put folks in jail!

They’re trying to send “Blade” to Jail!- Wesley Snipes sentencing

He better Pray!

It’s D-Day for Wesley Snipes! He’s in my neck of the woods for sentencing on charges of tax evasion. 2.7 million dollars in taxes to be exact. Some of Wesley’s Celebrity friends have written statements defending his character (Woody Harrelson and Denzel Washington).

Start a Revolution- Save Africana, Latin and Women’s Studies at our Colleges!!!!

With our nation’s economy in shambles, everyone is looking for ways to cut back on spending and budget cuts are the name of the game. Unfortunately thanks to poor government spending (i.e. - a crazy war with no end in sight) the country’s universities are really feeling the pinch. In their haste to cut costs (and preserve the lofty salaries of some school presidents) some schools have placed Africana (African, African American. Black, Diaspora etc.), Latin American and Women studies Programs on the chopping block. Claiming that the programs have so few majors that it’s not worth the costs.
Students in these programs are up in arms (particularly at my Alma Mater the University of South Florida), writing letters, signing petitions and leading rallies to preserve the departments that they hold dear.

The real Cause for the Earthquake.

As most of you know there was a 5.2 earthquake in Illinois of all places. People all the way in Niceville Fl, felt a tremor, but it seems that there was no major injuries and only minor damage, Thank the Lord! My heart is with the people affected by the quake. I pray that all is well.

Now I want to prepare you, no not just people in the quake but anyone who’s going to be around an old person, a conspiracy theorist, or a person with what I call “conversational paranoia,” particularly the religious type. It is highly strange for an earthquake to take place in Illinois, so I’m going to warn you now, that people are going to asking where that “came” from. IF you plan on going to the hair salon, barbershop, Local Park or anywhere else that black folks like to get together and “chew the fat” be prepared to talk about who really caused this act of nature…Oprah.

Um, thanks, I guess?

This comes directly from here. I think it’s intriging.

Senate Approves Slavery Apology Save Email Print

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) _ The Florida Senate has formally apologized for its long support of slavery in a resolution calling for reconciliation.

Senators quickly approved the resolution after hearing some of the history detailing the savage treatment endured by slaves in the 19th century and the reluctance of politicians in the last century to recognize the intolerance and mistreatment of blacks.

The House will take up the measure later today.

Florida enacted its first slave laws in the 1820s as a territory, and early political leaders in the state were some of the most vigorous defenders of slavery.

In the 1850s, at a time when Florida’s population was around 111,000, 44 percent of the population were slaves. After the Civil War, Florida’s Constitution of 1868 guaranteed blacks the right to vote and abolished slavery in the state, but inequities remained.

Feel free to comment please!

Take a Look, it’s in a Book

Here in Tampa, a black couple is angry with their daughter’s elementary school because she found two books that contained the “N-word”.
