Twitter Beef Ends In Violence

November 3, 2011 Front Page, Problems No Comments

This gangbanging sh!! never gets old in LA but for some reason I feel like hip-hop has made it even more cool.

A negative Twitter dialogue could possibly be the cause of the unconfirmed death of @Rosemo700, whom is identified as a known Blood in Inglewood, CA. Over the weekend, videos on Worldstar have surfaced featuring @Rosemo700 as the main character in the assault of another young man because of an exchange of words on the major social platform that never sleeps. A couple days later, Twitter has claimed he’s been slain. This is said to be the same guy that allegedly knocked out The Game in the FoxHills mall a few weeks back.

Idk if this guy is dead or not, but its shocking to me that he could be. There are thousands of videos on Worldstar of young people getting knocked out, shot at, stabbed, jumped, etc. We watch them and laugh. How often do we sit back and analyze what happens next? One thing is for sure, they’re still banging in LA HARD!

THINK I’M KIDDING???

Most Kings: Fred Shuttlesworth (3/18/1922 – 10/5/2011)

October 6, 2011 Front Page 1 Comment

It’s funny, when you see Martin Luther King marching in Selma, seldom do we acknowledge those who marched alongside him. In reality, there were a lot of ‘Kings’ that we don’t pay tribute to. We only remember the figures that are in the forefront, which is unfortunate.

Because of my own ignorance and lack of knowledge as well, those that were hired to inform me in public education, I knew nothing of Fred Shuttlesworth, until his passing today. However, he was a ‘king’ throughout the movements of the civil rights, in his own right. So I write this, hopefully, to educate another young person about a man as great as Mr. Shuttlesworth! And truth-be-told, everyone won’t make the spotlight but that shouldn’t discourage you from being active.

Word from @BenBaller is that he passed away in his sleep in Los Angeles. An autopsy on Wednesday will reveal the official cause of death. More updates as we find out more…

A rising star was laid to rest this weekend and has many wondering what for and what next? What should be shocking is the lack of shock that accompanies a scenario like this in an urban/inner-city community. It’s unfortunate, but it’s nothing new.

#NewMusicMonday – D. Mac x ‘My Will’

D.Mac, an artist based out of Miami, had been tweeting this song to me for quite some time. The message read, “R.I.P. God Bless The Dead” but I ignored because I assumed it was another rapper spamming a DJ. I happened to get the message again and clicked the link praying it didn’t take me to a virus-infected site. It didn’t. Instead, my ears were blessed with an honest song about death from the perspective of a young man who has seen it firsthand more than enough.
Check the video here…
