Chance The Rapper Speaks On His Frustration Over Chicago Public School Funding (Video)
March 7, 2017
Chance The Rapper clip above; saying he was feeling a kind of way (not the good kind either) after his conversation with the Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner about funding from Chicago Public Schools. Chance is not the first in Hip-Hop to go hard for his hometown, for the kids & community; but the occasion is still too rare among folks with the bully pulpit and the bucks in our culture. And if you peep after the jump, you will see that Chance is putting his money on the table… even as the Governor and his ilk are taking money ($215 million) off it.
Salute to Chance The Rapper. He put up. Hope he doesn’t shut up until the state does right and puts some bread up, too!

DJ Khaled Gives You The Keys…To Winning (Video)
March 5, 2016
Now you know… ‘They’ is the hater, the loser… the ones NOT to be entertained. Take your lead (like Kim K and The Bieb) from ‘The Best’ – DJ Khaled. He’s super-serious!
The Hip-Hop producer’s fame has exploded since he started sharing moments from his private life on the mobile app.
Watch the Snapchat King win again (above)… might learn yourself a thing or three about how you can, too. Or just maybe you just enjoy the clip. See? You win either way!
Nightline: 50 Cent In Somalia (Video)
February 25, 2012
I remember getting into little debates with people on the radio about 50 Cent aka Curtis Jackson & one of those small debates were about his ability to give other people opportunities instead of bloodsucking their talents & resources like many artists/ceo’s in hip hop that I won’t mention at this time. Recently 50 Cent appeared on ABC’s Nightline special as he made a trip to Somalia as part of his efforts to help feed a billion people which is a part of his Street King humanitarian initiatives. I honestly believe 50 is not doing all of this as a publicity stunt. I truly believe that’s the kind of guy he really is personally. A good dude who life’s circumstances necessitated that he move in a manner to survive from the streets & in the music industry, but his heart was always in a good place.
