J. Cole pays tribute to Michael Brown on his new song entitled "Be Free."
18-year old Brown was unarmed when he was gunned down by a Ferguson, Missouri police officer on Saturday, August 9. The shooting angered the community, resulting in protests, riots and police confrontations.
The unidentified officer is currently on paid administrative leave pending an FBI investigation.
Rest in Peace to Michael Brown and to every young black man murdered in America, whether by the hands of white or black. I pray that one day the world will be filled with peace and rid of injustice. Only then will we all Be Free - Cole

Slim Thug has been grinding really hard lately dropping music videos left and right. The latest visuals from the Boss Hogg Outlaw CEO is "My Life" featuring Houston newcomer Propain.
Directed by Michael Artis.
OG Ron C has announced the formation his new label Chopped Not Slopped Entertainment, a partnership with DJ Michael "5000" Watts to launch in 2012. During an interview with The Source, the chopped and screwed pioneer revealed that there are nine DJs signed to the imprint and that it’s intended to put an official stamp on slowed and throwed releases.
“Me and Mike Watts just got back together to form a new label for 2012. After 15 years, we’re doing it again,” he said. “So in 2012, we decided that we’re going to start the new label, called Chopped Not Slopped Entertainment. And what it basically is is it’s giving the seal and approval of chopped ‘n screwed music, saying that if it didn’t come from this label, it’s not official. It’s certified. So if you don’t see that logo on there, that Chopped stars logo on there, it’s not official.”
DJs signed to the label include OG Ron C, DJ Michael Watts, DJ Candlestick, Mr. Rogers, DJ Chose, DJ Mankind, DJ Hollygrove, DJ Lil Steve and DJ Ruckus.

The family of Michael Taylor are still trying to come to grips with his senseless murder last week in New Orleans. As we previously reported, the 16-year old made headlines in January 2011 when his uncle, Lamoine Ward, videotaped himself whipping Taylor for putting gang related information on his Facebook wall. Ward then posted the video online where it went viral almost overnight.
In a new interview with New Orleans television station WDSU, the uncle says he did it out of love and fear for what could happen to his family.
"It was love and I wanted to really show that he's not a gang member. I was not only going on his [Facebook] walls, I was searching his friend's walls also," Lamoine said. "So, I was frightened about what could happen to my family. I was led by the right spirit when I did it, but now the enemy is twisting it in my head like I did something wrong. Maybe I draw some extra attention to him to make him feel like he need to prove to these people that he's not soft."
Asked if he had any regrets about posting the video, Lamoine told WDSU he only had one.
"I regret maybe not being a part of his life a little bit more after the video," he said.
After the video hit the net, Taylor was reportedly bullied and made fun of at school. His mother, Kimberly Ward, said her son was a good kid who may have simply been trying to fit in with the wrong crowd.
"I'm hurt," she said through tears. "I'm not angry but I'm hurt. My boy was my world. But at the same time I'm blessed that if my child's death can save another child's life and another mother [not] have to go through what I feel, then I feel alright."
She added that parent's shouldn't be afraid to check their children's Facebook pages and most of all, "Don't be a friend, be a parent."

A 16-year old Louisiana teen who was seen by millions of online viewers being whipped by his uncle because of online gang activity was found murdered in New Orleans last week.
Michael Taylor had been posting messages on his Facebook page earlier this year when his uncle found out about it. To make an example out of the youth, the uncle made a video of himself whipping the teen with a belt, while telling him to admit to the camera that the gang ties he had been bragging about were fake.
"Y'all parents all these senseless f*cking crimes... all this gangbang sh*t. This my f*cking nephew right here," the uncle says in the video, pointing at Michael. "He aint no gangbanger, we don't come from that sh*t."
"All that's fake," Michael said, before his uncle whipped him.
When the video hit the internet in January 2011 most people applauded the uncle for his actions. As it turns out the video did nothing to prevent Michael from meeting a tragic fate.
BlackAmericaWeb.com is reporting that the teen's mom had been keeping close tabs on him, making him stay within eyesight whenever he went outside. On the night he was killed he received a text message and went outside to talk. Not too long afterwards his mother, Kimberly Ward, said her daughter received a text message saying Michael had been shot and killed.
"I came home and saw my son on the ground," Ward said.
Police say they have no suspects or motives in the December 7th shooting, but witnesses said they saw two men approach Michael and open fire, hitting him multiple times in the torso.
Stacey Patton, who runs the website SpareTheKids.com said she wasn't surprised to hear about Michael's murder after seeing the video of him being whipped.
"I am not surprised to hear that this young man's life has ended violently. When I saw the video, I kept thinking that by beating this youth, the uncle was setting him up for some kind of tragedy, either prison or an early grave," she said. "I don’t understand why more people don't make the connection between how children are dealt with at home and the larger societal impact. Studies show that maltreated youth make up a disproportionate number of youth involved in school and gang violence. Violent parental discipline increases the risk that a child will act violently later in life. The use of violent discipline teaches children that violence is an appropriate means of shaping behavior and solving problems. Physically disciplining a child has no positive impact for the child, that child's relationship with the parents, or the larger community."

Michael Vick knows a lot about second chances, so it was fitting he gave his first ever commencement speech at a high school for troubled teens.
The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback's message was clear to the 450 graduating students from Camelot Academy in Philadelphia. "I lost my freedom. I lost my money and I lost my family. All because of irrational decisions and using poor judgement. Think before you speak, think before you act and think before you make decisions in life," Vick told them.
Camelot’s schools are either for over-age students who have fallen at least two grades behind or have dropped out, or for students who have been expelled for behavioral issues from other schools.
Vick surprised two of the students by giving them $5000 scholarships.
"I was blessed and God gave me a second chance, the world gave me a second chance, the city of Philadelphia gave me a second chance," Vick said. "That's what this is all about. These kids had people around who believed in them and knew they could come out of their situations and make it a positive."

President Obama recently called Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie to congratulate him on the teams success this year, and for giving Michael Vick a second chance.
The call was enough to once again rile up those who feel like Vick hasn’t suffered enough for his role in a dog fighting ring. Never mind the fact that Vick served 19 months in prison, became a national disgrace and lost millions of dollars for his transgression.
Some people want the man to pay with his life, Tucker Carlson is one of those people.
Carlson is guest hosting Fox News’ ‘Hannity’ show this week. During a discussion about Obama’s call to Lurie, Carlson criticized the President for supporting Vick getting a second chance and said the football player should have been put to death for his crime.
"I'm a Christian, I've made mistakes myself, I believe fervently in second chances, but Michael Vick killed dogs, and he did [it] in a heartless and cruel way," Carlson said. "And I think personally he should have been executed for that. He wasn't. But the idea that the President of the United States would be getting behind someone who murdered dogs [is] kind of beyond the pale."
What's your take on Carlson's comments? Do you think Fox should fire him? Or was what he said ok in your opinion?

You would have thought they were giving away free money judging by the long lines outside of Houston stores Thursday (December 23).
Instead people had camped out overnight to try and cop a pair of the new Air Jordan “Cool Greys.”
Police had to be called out to several locations as crowds started to get unruly. Scuffles broke out and arguments ensued as stores quickly sold out.
One man was so desperate for a pair he hid in a trash can inside a Houston mall, hoping to be the first in line.
“I was in a trash can for about an hour in the mall, trying to be the first one,” said Jumarcus Bingham. “This is the first time they’re coming back out in ten years.”
By the time Bingham got inside the store they had already sold out of his size.
Not to be deterred, Bingham made a mad dash over to another mall and finally scored a pair. But only after paying a stranger $400 for shoes that retail for $180.
It was a nice come up for the stranger, but Jumarcus was happy and didn’t care if people thought he was crazy.
“They probably do [think I’m crazy], I mean I had to get em, I support Jordans,” he said.
The Air Jordan 11 Retro Cool Grey edition shoes had not been available since 2001.
How far would you have been willing to go to grab a pair?

By all accounts Michael Vick has been a model citizen since being released from federal prison in May 2009 after serving 19 months for dog fighting.
With his remarkable comeback on the football field happening before our eyes, Vick is still trying to make things right off the field.
He helps mentor kids about the harm dog fighting causes. He also spends a lot of his free time working with The Human Society.
As part of his rehabilitation process Vick says he would like to own a dog again.
“I would love to get another dog again in the future. I think it would be a big step in the rehabilitation process for me,” Vick told TheGrio.com. “I think just to have a pet in my household and to show people that I genuinely care, and my love, and my passion for animals.”
Prior to being convicted of dog fighting Vick was one of the nation’s most popular athletes. His # 7 jerseys were big sellers, he had big endorsement deals with Nike and Upper Deck, and a $100 million dollar contract with the Atlanta Falcons. He lost all of that and more. Vick became one of the most hated people on the planet.
He still struggles to come up with answers for why he did it. He thinks it could be a cultural thing.
“I hate to use our culture as an excuse, but it is what it is and that’s what happened and that’s the way I thought about it growing up. This is just the way I was brought up. Nobody ever told me that it wasn't right,” he said.
Mike says he’s learned from his mistakes and is a “better person” now. He credits God with helping him turn his life around and hopes people will give him a second chance.
Do you think Vick has reached a point where it would be ok for him to own a dog again?
