Homegrown Music
When is the DMV going to get their due props?
Have you ever heard of Rare Essence, Backyard Band, Junkyard, EU, or Trouble Funk? What about the “Godfather” of Go-Go music Chuck Brown. Take a trip to the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame to see the many accolades of this true pioneer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Brown Chuck Brown (born 1934) is an African-American jazz guitarist and singer who is affectionately called "The Godfather of Go-Go". Go-go is a subgenre of funk music developed in and around Washington, D.C. in the mid- and late 1970s. While its musical classification, influences, and origins are debated, Brown is regarded as the fundamental force behind the creation of go-go music.
This gives the DMV true street credibility when it comes to innovation. People who are born and raised in Washington, DC are aware of what Go-Go music represents, but for those who do not, let me paint you a small picture. Imagine the scene in “The Matrix 3” where everyone dancing in slow motion, bodies close, music loud energy flowing. You could feel the heat of the drums, base, percussion, and chimes. Now adjust the speed with original lyrics, as well as the top-rated cover songs in hip-hop, and you have Go-Go music. Attending a live Go-Go is an experience like no other. http://www.myspace.com/mambosauce
We always hear about the negative press about DC’s diamond in the ruff , but the true originality or impact of this music is rarely highlighted. This music has influenced many artists in the industry since the mid to late 80’s. Artists like Juvenile, 50 Cent, Ludacris, and Doug E Fresh have shared the stage with the DMV’s local bands when in town. Some Rare Essence fans may still argue that a famous Jay Z hit was a borrowed original. www.rareessence.com. We have seen videos featuring the our unique sounds from top notch artists including Jill Scott, Salt-n-Pepa, The Roots, Missy Elliot, Lil John, MC Hammer. Spike Lee featured EU in the acclaimed indie film “School Daze”.
I must say that Go-Go has come a long way since the 80’s when I partied at places like Chrystal Skate and the Black Hole. One Four Honey Represent uptown is what we shouted at Club U on Saturday nights with Rare Essence. From appearing on Jay Leno with Ludicrous, and the World MTV awards, to Big G’s long running portrayal on the big hit “The Wire”, the question still remains. When is DC going to get their Props? Take a moment and really listen to the radio. You can hear our music in the rotation. DJ Flex is definitely representing on “Punch Drunk Love” featuring Kanye West and Common. Go-Go music will become mainstream before you know it. You cannot deny DC’s raw talent but for so long.

Who Knew?
Just when you thought it was safe enough for our beloved President to relax and get to the real business at hand, another media source is trying to tarnish him with negative press. TMZ http://www.tmz.com/ , along with other media sources released an article stating that “Obama’s Brother—Gone to Pot.” The police charged his home on a Saturday and the reason is still unknown. He was taken into custody for marijuana possession and resisting arrest. George Obama is the half brother of Barack Obama. The fact that Barack Obama has a half brother totally slipped my mind being as though the President met him once and they barely know each other. The only thing that the President and his half brother have in common is genetics. Here is my dilemma. The Kenyan police went through extreme methods to arrest George Obama. They raided his home and immediately arrested him. “I don’t know why they are charging me”, George told CNN. Here is the kicker folks. He was arrested for a total of one joint of marijuana.
I am not familiar with the Kenyan laws I am not aware of any massive Drug Prevention programs. Can someone please tell me where the fire is on this one? You would think that the press would come up with something a little more damaging than one stick of refer. I can recall my vacation in Costa Rica where one of my buddies asked a waiter in their native tongue, “Donde’ esta verde’?” The waiter fulfilled her request in less than ten minutes. Let us not mention the Netherlands where the police will assist you in lighting your joint if you ask. The strong efforts of the Kenyan police and press are petty, redundant, and borderline comical. George Obama probably went into his back yard, picked up a couple of “Bush weed”; (pun intended) fixed a warm cup of milk and began his day. Who knew that he would be the feature of the next episode of “Cops”?
The Law enforcement agencies here in the United States would be embarrassed at such a find after a raid, and would sweep it under the rug for fear of being the butt of office jokes. The “Jakes” do not want to waste the ink or time filing the paperwork on something that would be barely classified as a misdemeanor. This is a result of the press and right-winged Republicans ongoing quest to discredit our President. Some may think that Barack Obama is and will be the best president this country ever had. Haters are looking feverishly to break the momentum of our first African American President. I implore you all. Please stop the hatin. Our President already admitted to smoking a joint or two in his college years. Just because his half brother’s first name is George does not mean that the presidency is doomed. Both Bushes, (pun intended), already took care of that with their eyes closed chewing tobacco and hunting deer. Did anyone forget about baby George’s cocaine habit? As a result of this breaking news, I guess George Obama will not be invited to any White House events. There goes his VIP access. Here are a few words for the press from Tre’. “Hypocrisy flows evenly through straightened teeth.” You can quote me on that one. If you are part of the Obama’s family tree, run and hide. They are looking for you. If you jay walk, you are in trouble.

50 Cents VS Rick Ross
Just when you thought that the beef has run its course, the stakes have been raised higher. Leave it to 50 Cent to go to the extreme with his ongoing public dissing of Rick Ross. How this battle began is a distant memory compared to a recent promotional campaign led by 50 Cent and his alter-ego “Pimpin Curley”. In conjunction with his many vocal disses on Rick Ross’s “baby mama” Tia, 50 Cent has released an adult video. Here is the kicker. It was generated on a website for the entire world to see for FREE.
http://www.boobooty.com/ Some may even call this XXX release amateur porn. This video consists of the mother of Rick Ross’s child in raw footage performing various sexual acts with an unknown record executive. To add insult to injury, Pimpin’ Curley narrates the entire scene. This is not your general narration folks. This is an in your face diss session on the characters of Rick Ross and the mother of his child while chanting, “Officer Rickey” periodically throughout the 13 plus minute video. Despite evidence uncovered by the Smoking Gun that rapper Rick Ross was once employed as a Florida corrections officer, the rapper still denied he ever worked as a CO. So the Smoking Gun went out and got even more evidence. In a new set of documents, the website proves Ross is in denial about his old job, as the Department of Corrections gave TSG an 86-page file on the rapper’s employment, including copies of his birth certificate and his social security card. TSG points out that the address on his application matches that of his mother’s home, and that the name of his mother on the application also happens to be the name of his mother, as evidenced by Trilla liner notes. Despite the report, at least one rapper is standing by Ross’ enormous side, as Trick Daddy said he has no problem with Ross and that the Boss of Miami would still appear on his next album. Now we all are aware of the ramifications of being involved in a “beef” with 50 Cent. Remember Fat Joe and Ja Rule. How about Murder Inc? Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that everyone should bite their tongues when it comes to crossing 50 Cent on wax, or any other forum. I just feel that you must be prepared for this guy to “GO HARD”, as our own DMV star Tabi Bonney would say. www.myspace.com/tabibonneyAlthough Rick Ross’s street credibility has been questioned in the past, due to his past employment gig as a corrections officer, “The Boss” has not backed down from 50’s assertiveness. He did so by releasing a few diss mixt- tapes of his own. Rick Ross goes on a rant by calling 50 Cent “a monkey”, suggesting that 50 purchase “suits that fit”, and questioning the sexuality of 50 Cent and G-Unit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gITFcswAYhg. This all pales in comparison to 50’s campaign on You Tube, mix-tapes, http://www.thisis50.com/, and the now famous http://www.boobooty.com/. (Currently disabled) Rick Ross was not prepared for 50’s arsenal of demeaning lyrics, interviews, and now the world- wide -web. I just hope that all of this nonsense does not destroy what Hip-Hop has worked so hard to recover from. We do not need another geographical war between two well known artists, who both are talented. Do Biggie and 2 Pac ring a bell? With 50’s latest stunt, in which some may consider a low blow, he has emptied the entire salt shaker into Rick Ross’s wounds. Yep, it seems that 50 Cent has the money and the power to take this beef to its grave. No pun intended. My question is, how long will this saga continue? A source tells TMZ 50 Cent plans to release a porn tape featuring one of Rick Ross' baby mamas. We're told 50 bought the tape and will post it on his own site -- and even provide voice-over on it. This is 50!
Guys can you please keep it as word play and do not let your ego destroy what Hip-Hop truly has truly incorporated. Don’t take away our UNITY. I find this whole Beef comical. This is just something to take my mind off the real things that we are face with daily like the recession, unemployment, a rising crime rate, and a lingering recession. Not all people may have my light-hearted views on this repetitious cycle of beef in the Hip-Hop community. Do me a favor guys. Keep it on wax and video, and keep this beef out of the streets you feel me. We want Hip-Hop to persevere, not regress.

Radio Station in Florida Gets Shut Down
Fla. shuts pirate radio station over drugs, gangs

|
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Federal Communications Commission officials and deputies from the Orange County Sheriff's gang unit busted a pirate radio station they say was reportedly broadcasting information on where to buy drugs.
Authorities say the "Street Heat" broadcast included live advertisements for criminal gangs and discussions of where to buy drugs and find prostitutes.
Balthazard Senat and Christopher Robert Roth were arrested Friday and charged with unauthorized transmission and possession of cannabis with intent to deliver. Officials say Roth was a DJ for the radio station.
A spokeswoman for the sheriff's office and a person answering the phone at the Orange County Corrections Department had no information on whether the men had retained attorneys.
Rihanna to testify against Brown if called
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Rihanna's attorney says the singer would testify against Chris Brown if called as a witness in her boyfriend's assault case. Donald Etra, who is representing the 21-year-old Barbados native, said Friday that Rihanna would be required by law to testify if prosecutors subpoena her.
Etra appeared in court Thursday when Brown made his first appearance on charges of assaulting and making criminal threats to his superstar girlfriend. Brown's arraignment was postponed until April 6.
Etra said Rihanna did not want a "no contact" order issued against Brown, but that she will report any violations of an order prohibiting the 19-year-old singer from threatening, harassing or harming his girlfriend. A court order grants her the authority to record any violations of the order.
