2pac Loved Biggie!!!!

Or at least he loved the way he rapped so it seems. While scanning Worldstar for its rare videos that inspire, empower, or educate, I came across Pac and Big’s infamous freestyle from 1993 which was being featured as a throwback video of the week. It’s just so sad to see this and know that eventually they would fall out and participate in one of the most notorious hip hop feuds of our time.

If we’ve learned anything from these two, its to put the guns down and pick up a mic!

Avoid Voter Ineligibility

To be eligible to vote in the United States, a person must be a U.S. citizen and at least eighteen years of age. In a report to Congress, the impact of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 on the Administration of Elections for Federal Office, 2003–2004, the Federal Election Commission states that in 2004 there were 221.3 million total citizens eighteen years and older in the United States. Of that number, 174.8 million, or about 79%, were registered to vote. However, a significant number of these registrants, 19.5 million, were considered inactive, meaning they had not recently participated in election voting and in many cases had moved to other jurisdictions. Each state determines for itself how long an individual may remain on the list of registered voters without voting.

Little Christian Girl Praying 4 Real (Hannah’s Prayer)

Hannah is putting away childish things at a young age! Her prayer is inspirational and on point! My mother would give me away to have a good ol praying child like her lol. Everyday I find out that these kids are more amazing than we’ll give them credit. It’s a 7 minute sermon/prayer that I don’t believe is rehearsed or ‘fixed’ not to say that this young child is or isn’t capable of believing at her age. Lets just pray she doesn’t depart, when she gets older, from all her training!

[Video] 5 Year Old Get Shot 4 Times and Survives!!!

“The violence has got to stop” says a woman who appears to be the grandmother of the 5-year-old young man in the video after the jump. The boy recently survived a drive by shooting after being struck 4 times.

I can’t help but think of 5-year-old kids in other neighborhoods that have the same encounters and then others in other communities where that isn’t a thought so much that if it was to happen, it would just be devastating. Obviously, the news didn’t even want to cover it because they switched to Tiger Woods. Fuck Tiger Woods! He’s stealing the air time with his antics. I thought we solved that case…didn’t his girl leave? On to the next one! What about the lil homie Terrance, that could possibly grow up and be Tiger Woods if he could escape random gunfire near his residency? *wishful thinking* … Continue Reading

4 Year Old Boy Gets Herpes From Atlanta Hotel

This is why I stress that we clean up our sexual waste. No child or grandmother should have to experience this type of human irresponsibility. Even flushing a condom down the toilet, which is frowned upon, is still more of a proactive approach than just leaving it in the bed. And whats up with housekeeping? They’re always in my room and they take the change that I leave. How come they can’t clean the beds right? We all are humans and we make mistakes, it just depends on the day. On our worst day, we could leave a kid in the hospital with herpes.

A 4-year-old child may now have a sexually transmitted disease because of a used condom he found in an Atlanta hotel room. Carmen Jones said she is hurting inside not knowing what sexually transmitted diseases her grandson may now have. “The doctors at Scottish Rite said, if it was some sort of herpes it would last seven to 10 days, and sure enough about 10 days he started getting better, but then the blisters reappeared,” said Jones. Jones said she, her grandson and other family members stayed at the Wyndham Garden Hotel in downtown Atlanta on July 31.” - Atlanta News. Submitted by HipHopNews24-7.com

Mos Def, Jeffrey Wright To Star In Broadway Play “A Free Man of Color”

Mos Def is heading to Broadway in the upcoming production of “A Free Man of Color” starring alongside Tony, Emmy and Golden Globe Award winning actor Jeffrey Wright. You may remember Wright for his most recent role in the film Cadillac Records playing Muddy Waters.

The play, written by John Guare (think Six Degrees of Separation circa 1990, film adaption featuring Will Smith), is set in New Orleans 1801. Wright plays Jacques Cornet, “a new world Don Juan and the wealthiest inhabitant of this sexually charged and racially progressive city. Jacques thinks all is well in his paradise until history intervenes, setting off a chain of events which no one, much less this free man of color, realizes is about to splinter the world.”

Also starring in the film is Joseph Marcell (Geoffrey the butler from “The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air”).

“A Free Man Of Color” is set for October 21 at the Vivian Beaumont Theater in New York City.
