By Michael E. Miller November 13   What will you do when hate comes to a campus near you? #BowieState pic.twitter.com/EzdAm8vet1 — King Richy III (@iOverDress) November 12, 2015 Another swastika. Another campus. Another outrage. On Thursday morning, students at historically black Bowie State University in Maryland found a swastika scrawled on a building named after a civil rights movement hero. The swastika was spray-painted on a column at the Martin Luther King Jr. Communications Art Center, the university announced . The racist symbol was quickly removed, but not before photos — and anger — spread from the Maryland university to the Internet and beyond. The ugly incident, which campus and county police are investigating as a possible hate crime, was only one of a number of incidents at universities across the United States, however. At the University of Missouri, where anonymous death threats terrified minorities earl...

ood The young gun has always been an integral figure in hip-hop. A crew is not truly complete without a prince in waiting being groomed to follow in their mentors shoes and J-Hood was that protege for The Lox. Originally from North Carolina, J-Hood moved to Yonkers, N.Y. as a youth and found himself under the wing of the Ruff Ryders trio, appearing as a co-star on various mixtapes and album cuts. But multiple false starts and a lack of a concrete release date put a strain on J-Hood's relationship with The Lox, leading him to denounce his rhyme family by dragging a chain gifted to him by the group on the ground in a YouTube clip that circulated in 2007. J-Hood apologized after the fact, but the damage was done and the rapper was unceremoniously booted from the clique and has yet to match the acclaim he gained while with D-Block.

(AllHipHop News) Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs and Shawn “Jay Z” Carter are consistently near the top of the Forbes Hip Hop Cash Kings list and The Source Power 30 rankings. Both Puff and Jay run several successful companies, but the “Young G’s” collaborators have yet to join forces for a major business deal. Puffy recently stopped by the Sway In The Morning radio show ,  and host Sway Calloway asked the Bad Boy Entertainment boss about possibly teaming with Hov. “Me and Jay – we’ve talked about it. We said we want to pick the best one,” revealed Puff. “It’s going to have to be that one thing that gets it all the way popping. For other people, it was DreamWorks. When DreamWorks happened, it made it okay for strong, visionary, idealistic leaders to get together and figure out how to navigate.” He added, “Sometimes you don’t do it, not because you don’t want to do it – it’s almost out of respect for someone else, you may just want to stay in your ...

Hollywood superstar Will Smith portrays Dr Bennet Omalu, the Nigerian-born forensic pathologist who took on the US's National Footbal League (NFL) with his discoveries of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) in the corpses of two former NFL players In his latest biopic role, Will Smith plays Dr Bennet Omalu, a Nigerian-born forensic pathologist who was the first to identify chronic brain damage as a factor in the deaths of some National Football League players. He discovered chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in the brain of Pro Football Hall of Fame player Mike Webster in 2002. Yes, Smith’s ‘Nigerian’ accent is annoying and he looks nothing like Dr Omalu but shouldn’t we be used to this by now? From Denzel Washington playing Steve Biko in 1987, Forest Whittaker as Idi Amin in 2006 to Idris Elba as Nelson Mandela in 2013 , it’s safe to say that the Hollywood machine with it’s inflated budgets and numerous dialect coaches has consistently failed to reproduce ...

NOV 2015   Let the Justice Department know where Music Creators stand on Fractional Licensing To Our Valued Members, As you may have heard, the Department of Justice is currently reviewing the ASCAP and BMI consent decrees and is considering a change that could greatly impact the value of the royalties you receive, your ability to choose creative collaborators and the payment process you have come to rely upon as an ASCAP songwriter or publisher. This modification to the consent decree would  disrupt the long-standing practice of PROs licensing only the share of co-written works we represent , requiring instead that ASCAP and BMI license all songs in our respective repertoires on a 100% basis, regardless of the percentage of the song our affiliated writers or publishers actually own or control. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW This change has the potential to negatively affect music creators both creatively and financially. In a 100% licensing world, songwriters ...
