Attorney: Video shows police fired into home

2010-05-17T15:54:00.000-07:00

Police have said officers threw a flash grenade through the first-floor window of the two-family home, and that an officer's gun discharged, killing the girl, during a struggle or after colliding with the girl's grandmother inside the home.
But Fieger said the video shows an officer lobbing the grenade and then shooting into the home from the porch.

"There is no question about what happened because it's in the videotape," Fieger said. "It's not an accident. It's not a mistake. There was no altercation."

In a crumbling music industry where survival often depends on playing nice, hip-hop is not afraid to push envelopes. And that's exactly why it's worth celebrating in America's house.

Coachella music fest

2010-04-20T07:50:00.001-07:00

Jay-Z succeeded in bringing hip-hop to headline status with an entertaining set that satisfied even those who came to hear other artists. He performed chestnuts such as Big Pimpin' and more recent hits Run This Town and Empire State of Mind, but his wasn't a set to empower a generation of disaffected youths: It was to conquer them. A sample of Oasis' Wonderwall served as a sly reminder of Noel Gallagher's remark that Jay-Z didn't belong at an indie rock fest.

Answers From a Hip Hop Veteran, Part 3

2010-04-09T12:13:00.000-07:00

In the early 1970s, the unnamed culture known today as hip-hop was forming in New York City’s ghettos. Sadly today, when the media speaks of hip-hop, it are referring to one element of the culture: rap, and more specifically the rap industry, rather than the entire culture of hip-hop and its many elements, which include MC’ing, dancing, DJ’ing, aerosol art and more! Each element in this urban movement had its own identity, history and terminology that eventually contributed to the development of a unified culture. The common pulse which gave life to all these elements was rhythm, clearly demonstrated by the beats the DJ selected, the dancers’ movements, the emcees’ rhyme patterns and the writer’s name or message painted in a flowing, stylized fashion.

Hip-hop was a direct reflection of N.Y.C. youths’ love, rage, desperation, salvation, defiance, order, chaos, identity, power, etc., and was quickly embraced by the world and became the voice of many. If I had to summarize hip-hop as one word, I would have to say it is POWER.

The Snitch in Your Pocket

2010-02-26T08:59:00.000-08:00

Those questions are now at the core of a constitutional clash between President Obama's Justice Department and civil libertarians alarmed by what they see as the government's relentless intrusion into the private lives of citizens. There are numerous other fronts in the privacy wars—about the content of e-mails, for instance, and access to bank records and credit-card transactions. The Feds now can quietly get all that information. But cell-phone tracking is among the more unsettling forms of government surveillance, conjuring up Orwellian images of Big Brother secretly following your movements through the small device in your pocket.

Color-Coded in Hip-Hop

2010-02-20T09:06:00.000-08:00

And that's the beauty of hip-hop culture in the digital era. Emcees like Eminem, Pitbull and Asher Roth are continually mentioned in the same breath as Jay-Z, Nas and Snoop Dogg, and collaborations between emcees of all colors, religions and backgrounds come to light on a regular basis. While it would be naive to think that hip-hop has completely erased all discrepancies between races in a world where hate crimes and racism continue to make headlines, hip-hop has in some way contributed to making this a better world in which to live. by Steven J. Horowitz

Paradise the Architect hopes for return of 'peace' to the Hip-Hop world

2010-02-18T08:05:00.000-08:00

"Our music and the movement we're trying to spearhead now basically is really trying to unite people who love hip-hop but who have been frustrated with the messages, with all the violence and drugs and sex and stuff," Paradise says. "We're going to try to get off the anger, get off the angry music and give people a message of hope. People are poor all over this planet and suffering all over this planet and we want to bring the true message of hip-hop to the rest of the world, that we're not just throwing money around while people are having tough economic times."- Paradise Gray
