Artists Sue Government for Using Hip-Hop Music For Torture. Songs By Dr Dre, Eminem & 2Pac Were Used To Break Down Guantanamo Prisoners

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on October 23, 2009 at 10:30am

AllHipHop Reports A group of prominent artists are moving forward with a lawsuit against the U.S. government for using music as a means for torture at Cuba’s controversial Guantanamo Bay facility. Last December, news hit media outlets about how military personnel were using music to humiliate and demoralize detainees. Rage Against the Machine member Tom Morello is participating in the suit, and revealed that reports have shown the music was played just low enough to prevent detainees from suffering shattered eardrums. “Guantanamo is known around the world as one of the places where human beings have been tortured,” Morello explained. “From waterboarding to stripping, hooding and forcing detainees into humiliating sexual acts, playing music for 72 hours in a row at volumes just below that to shatter the eardrums. Guantanamo may be d**k Cheney's idea of America, but it's not mine. The fact that music I helped create was used in crimes against humanity sickens me.”

Hip-Hop music was a staple of the torture tactic, with selections from Dr. Dre, Lil Kim, Eminem (“Kim,” “Slim Shady,” “White America”), and Tupac (“All Eyez On Me”) being used. Even though songs like Eminem’s “White America” are ironically critical of American politics, the Bush Administration approved the track as a part of the “futility technique,” which seeks to show torture victims the hopelessness of their situations. The goal of the musicians’ lawsuit, dubbed the “National Campaign to Close Guantanamo,” is to have all government documents declassified on music torture and have the base shut down. In addition to artists such as the Roots, REM, Pearl Jam, and Nine Inch Nails, several former U.S. generals and lawmakers have joined the suit.

Previously, President Barack Obama had promised to close the facility by January 22, 2009. However, the economic crisis and resistance from Congress have delayed that goal. At press time, a court date has not been announced.

Serial Murderer Kills 10 Women In N.C. Should Be Huge News Story Right? Wrong, Barely Any Coverage For These Slain African American Women..SMFH

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on October 22, 2009 at 11:30pm

Diana Nicholson, right, the mother of Taraha Shenice Nicholson is comforted during a news conference at the Edgecombe County Sheriff's office in Tarboro, N.C. Newsweek Reports Ten women have been found slain or have been declared missing in Rocky Mount, N.C., in recent years. But the rest of the country hasn't heard about a possible serial killer stalking the young women in this Southern town of 60,000. The latest victim, Elizabeth Jane Smallwood, was identified on Oct. 12. Why have the Rocky Mount homicides been largely ignored? "When you think about the famous missing-person cases over the last few years it's Chandra Levy, Natalee Holloway, and Laci Peterson," notes Sam Sommers, associate professor of psychology at Tufts University. All these women had a few things in common—they were white, educated, and came from middle-class families. The victims in Rocky Mount—which residents describe as a "typical Southern town," and is about 40 percent white and more than 50 percent black—were different. They were all African-American, many were poor, and some had criminal histories including drug abuse and prostitution. "If it was someone of a different race, things would have been dealt with the first time around; it wouldn't have taken the fifth or sixth person to be murdered," says Andre Knight, a city-council member and president of the local NAACP chapter. "All these women knew each other and lived in the same neighborhood; this is the sign of a potential serial killer. When it didn't get the kind of attention it needed, it made the African-American community frustrated." Police have not officially linked all the murders and disappearances, but community members claim the similarities among the women, their lifestyles, and the location of their bodies make a connection all too obvious. "If you find two bodies in the same location, this could be the work of the same person or people," says Rocky Mount Police Chief John Manley, who would not comment on a connection, but implied the possibility. Rumors are running rampant around the town about the identity of the serial killer. There is not much physical evidence, leading some to speculate it's a former law-enforcement officer or someone in the military. Others have deduced that the killer is targeting specific women as a form of revenge for contracting HIV from a prostitute. Along with Smallwood, the murders of Taraha Nicholson, 28, Jarniece Hargrove, 31, Ernestine Battle, 50, Jackie Nikelia Thorpe, 35, Melody Wiggins, 29, and Denise Williams, 21, remain unsolved. Authorities are also searching for Yolanda Lancaster, 37, Joyce Renee Durham, 46, and Christine Boone, 43.

Jackie Nikelia Thorpe, 35, was found killed in 2007 – she is one of six women found dead along Seven Bridges Road since 2005. One man is in custody for the murder of Nicholson, who was the fourth victim, discovered back in 2005. This past September, police charged Antwan Maurice Pittman, 31, with her murder. He is accused of strangling Nicholson and dumping her partially clothed body in the woods. So far, authorities have not linked Pittman to the other murders. "There's a lot of mixed sentiments about Pittman," says Knight, referring to community speculation about whether police have charged the right man. "In this Information Age, cases get solved through sheer publicity, whether it's an Amber Alert or America's Most Wanted, anyone could have a tip or be a potential source of information," Sommers says. But the national media did show some interest in the story after it was revealed that five women were murdered in or around the town. "Nancy Grace called and wanted to have some of us on her show, but before it aired there was a white woman from Georgia that went missing. The Nancy Grace show was canceled," Knight says. HLN network, which broadcasts Nancy Grace, confirmed that Knight was booked for the show, which was ultimately canceled to profile the disappearance of Kristi Cornwell, a white woman from Blairsville, Ga., who went missing during an evening walk. Representatives from Nancy Grace told NEWSWEEK, "The booking was changed due to news that was breaking that day," and emphasized the change had nothing to do with the race of the victim. On Aug. 12, Anderson Cooper 360 Degrees covered the story. That bit of media exposure brought new resources to the investigation. Originally, only a small amount of reward money was collected for information about the case. After the story aired on CNN , New Jersey philanthropist Peter Pinto, of the Kefalas-Pinto Foundation, donated $10,000 from a personal trust. In late September, the city donated an additional $5,000, which was matched by a $5,000 county donation, bringing the amount of reward money to $20,000. If there were no media coverage, there might have been no reward. The money isn't just going to help with the investigation, it's helping the families of the victims, specifically their children. The money proved to be a blessing for Jurary Tucker, the mother of Yolanda Lancaster, who has been missing since February 2008. "We were able to use some of the money to get [Yolanda's] children ready for school," Tucker says. "They have to wear uniforms to school and they are very expensive; the money came at a good time." Tucker became the primary custodian of her granddaughter and grandson after Lancaster's disappearance. When Annie Le, a 24-year-old Yale pharmacology graduate student, went missing on Sept. 8, it only took three days for the university to offer a $20,000 reward. In the case of the Rocky Mount women, it took more than six years to raise that same amount of money for 10 women. Concerned residents of the town tried to promote the case by distributing fliers and purchasing a billboard advertisement featuring the women, but their efforts may have backfired. Mug-shot photographs of the victims, many pictured in orange jumpsuits, sometimes appearing disheveled or under the influence of alcohol or drugs, were used in their efforts. Unlike the images of a smiling Annie Le, these images showed the women during darker times. "Everyone has a dark side at some point, but you want to put your best out front when you are trying to appeal [to the public] for help," Chief Manley says. "When you look at obituaries in the newspaper, [the photos] show a bright time in someone's life; you really want to show the person when they are doing well." Manley says the police department used the victims' driver's license photographs to help with search efforts. "You don't need to air dirty laundry. Seeing someone's dark side doesn't appeal to the conscience of other people," he says. Concern over the buried headlines and lack of national media attention isn't the only thing upsetting residents; some say there are deeper festering racial tensions in the community. When a candlelight vigil was held to commemorate the murdered women, only black community officials attended. When other vigils were organized for deaths in Rocky Mount, there was no racial divide, and community members, both black and white, attended the events in droves. "When a prominent attorney's wife died, we all came together and the church was full, but when the community was coming together to share their pain and reach out to these families, only black elected officials were there," Knight says. "They [white officials] didn't have an excuse, they just didn't come." White officials, including the mayor, say they weren't invited to the memorial. "It's hard to attend something that you don't even know is occurring," says David Combs, mayor of Rocky Mount. "I was glad that we had the vigil and had people who were involved." For the families who just want to locate their daughters or bring closure to their murders, the investigation has been a long, drawn-out process. Tucker speaks about her daughter in the past tense, quickly catches herself, and shifts to the present tense, emphasizing her commitment to finding her daughter. "As far as the investigation goes, I just hope they continue to do the best they can to put closure to the missing girls and the girls that have been found," Tucker says. "Whatever it is, we are here waiting." "Regardless of drug addiction or other problems, that still doesn't give a person the right to kill another," says Knight. "If we can give a terrorist a day in court, we can get these women justice."

Rap Legend Chuck D Praises Jay-Z As # 1 Rapper. Disses Gucci Mane,Saying "He'd Be Better Off Jumping In A Swimming Pool With A Plugged Toaster"

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on October 22, 2009 at 4:18pm

AllHipHop Reports Chuck D, the front man of Public Enemy, offered his opinion of Jay-Z and Gucci Mane during an interview on AllHipHop Radio's morning show Eric B and Friends earlier in the day. The rapper expressed his admiration for Jay-Z from a career point of view, and stressed that he was impressed with The Blueprint 3 album. "On Jay-Z - quote me on this - Jay-Z is the Rookie of the Year in 2009. You want to know why? Because at age 40, he is just getting started," Chuck said this morning. "He is simply forwarding the artform. Just imagine if he decided to pick up two more languages to add to his craft. He is #1." (Editor's note: Jay-Z turns 40 in December. Chuck also said that rappers such as Gucci Mane and Baby of Cash Money, who both sharply contested Jay-Z's top slot on MTV's "Hottest Rapper" list had no artistic right to be so vocal. Chuck D stated these were unfounded criticisms based on Jay-Z's body of work. Chuck said, "Jay-Z's just getting started. Gucci Mane, he'd be better off jumping in a swimming pool with a plugged in toaster." Chuck D stressed that his former Def Jam alumni could likely expand his brand if he further embraced the global community. "The only thing what will make Jay-Z totally untouchable, would be if he learned another language."

Lil Wayne Facing One Year Bid After Pleading Guilty To Gun Charge

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on October 22, 2009 at 3:53pm

EW.com Reports Lil Wayne entered a guilty plea to felony gun possession in an NYC courthouse this morning, MTV News reports. The rapper will likely be sentenced to one year in prison under the terms of his plea deal. He would have faced up to three and a half years behind bars if convicted. The gun charges stemmed from a July 2007 incident in which police pulled over Wayne’s tour bus after a concert. (I was there in the audience earlier that night — it was an unforgettable show.) They found a loaded .40 caliber semi-automatic pistol. While Wayne initially pleaded not guilty, the situation changed this month when prosecutors said they had DNA evidence linking him to the weapon. There’s no word yet on how this will affect Lil Wayne’s music plans, but it’s hard to see this as anything but a major roadblock to promoting his next album, Rebirth, which is still awaiting release after months of delays. Share your thoughts on his legal troubles below.

'Smallville' actor Sam Jones III arrested in conspiracy to distribute over 10,000 oxycodone pills

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on October 22, 2009 at 3:44pm

NY Daily News Reports Sam Jones III will need a lot more help than Superman can offer him. The "Smallville" star, who played Clark Kent's best friend on the CW show, was arrested Wednesday morning in a federal drug sting, TMZ.com reported. The Drug Enforcement Agency said Jones was accused of being a "co-conspirator" in several major drug deals last year. According to court documents, the actor and several others devised a plan to purchase and distribute more than 10,000 oxycodone pills. Jones was reportedly taken into custody by DEA agents who described him as the "Hollywood connection" to the plot. The 26-year-old actor has been charged with conspiracy to possess illegal drugs with the intent to distribute. If convicted, Jones faces up to 20 years in federal prison.

Eye Candy, Shakur Speaks On Being In The "Best I Ever Had" Video, Her Singing Career & Rumors She Is Drake's Girl

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on October 22, 2009 at 2:30pm

From HipHopWired So much can be said about the video for Drake's smash hit, Best I Ever Had, but they say a picture is worth 1000 words. But if the pictures aren't enough, we got a chance to catch up with one of the feature models from the video, Shakur, while she was traveling out to the west coast. While you may know the body from the video, you may have heard her single on your local radio station “Nadda Ho” featuring Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas. We got the chance to catch up with her about acting, rapping and her romantic rumors with an upstart emcee. HipHopWired: Where are you from? Shakur: I'm from Los Angeles, California. HipHopWired: So born and raised there or just born? Shakur: Well born and raised but I spend a lot of time on the East Coast and the South because I am recording out there a lot. HipHopWired: What's your ethnic background? Shakur: Both parents are Egyptian. HipHopWired: Cool, I was thinking you have a unique look. It's like a European face with an African shape. Shakur: Yeah Egyptians come in all types; all Africans just depends on the ancestry. But people always think I'm Hispanic and I'm fluent in Spanish so it trips them up sometime. HipHopWired: How did you get your start modeling? Shakur: I started modeling when I was about 13; I did commercial and print work around then so I was real young. My mother made me stop because she wanted me to be more focused on academics. So she pulled me out of entertainment to make sure the number one focus was school. Then when I was of age to do stuff on my own legally I got back into it. Music pulled me back before I could get back into modeling, so I focused on that and put modeling and acting to the back.

HipHopWired: So you say the music pulled you back into entertainment, how'd that come about? Shakur: Well I always had been writing and had a passion for music, I think I get that from my father but I kinda got pulled into it with people saying I have a talent for it and I just started recording and putting things I'd written on wax. It grew from being an interest to a passion to something I wanted to pursue with full force. HipHopWired: How long have you been recording? Shakur: About 6 years, about 5 or six years I've been recording.

HipHopWired: I read another interview and it said that Kanye West personally called you to be in the Drake video, did you cultivate those relationships via the music or through modeling first? Shakur: Yea definitely the music first, I developed my relationships through the music with people knowing me as an artist, and people just happened to know I'm a pop artist with a good look for modeling. So people often misconstrue what comes first, but it is the music, but if I can gain exposure through the modeling and be able to use it as a means to get my music out there then I'm all for it. So when Kanye hit me up about it, he had already known me from around the industry for the past couple years. He knows that I'm studying theatrics with a coach, so he was like, “I know you're doing your acting thing and this is a video we're about to shoot it would be a good look for you, not on some video girl stuff.” Not that I am against ‘video girl stuff', its just that as an artist it confuses people like what are you trying to be. He was like there was some acting to it, so when I got to set and saw the treatment and I was like oh okay, this is cool, not your typical stuff.

HipHopWired: Also we caught wind that you may be the best Drake's ever had; any truth to the rumors that you and him are an item? Shakur: The rumors saying that Drake and I have a romantic relationship and it's just not true. I met Drake on the set for “Best I Ever Had”. I only was involved because of Kanye's request as a friend. I've never been romantically involved with either one. HipHopWired: So no fireworks at all? Shakur: He is a very talented and very sweet guy, but the relationship has never been like that. I respect his talent but there is no romantic relationship between us. I understand this is all a part of the game as far as rumors go, but if you even look at the pictures posted on the gossip sites you'll see they are all from the set of the video.

R. Kelly Returns With New CD “Untitled” on December 1st. Star Already Touring In Support Of Album

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on October 22, 2009 at 6:30am

Rolling Stone Reports R. Kelly has announced he’ll release his new album Untitled on December 1st both physically and digitally. The nameless LP, Kelly’s first since 2007’s Double Up and last year’s shelved 12 Play: Fourth Quarter, has already spawned first single “Number One,” featuring Keri Hilson, and second single “Religious” was delivered to radio recently after debuting on Kelly’s YouTube page. As Rolling Stone previously reported, his The Demo Tape mixtape was released this June. For Untitled, Kelly broke with tradition and instead did some recording in Atlanta instead of his native Chicago, according to a press release. The album will also find the Chocolate Factory singer collaborating with up-and-coming producers like Chris Henderson, Lil Ronnie and Infinity. At an album preview party Kelly hosted at his own home, he reportedly told the crowd he party-tested Untitled hard. “For three months straight, I threw a party at my house every weekend. … Like 200 girls come over, and there’s some guys too, like four or five, but no pictures, so we can all be ourselves. Then I’d play the music and see how they would react… if they didn’t feel it, I’d go back downstairs and rework it…” Kelly recently kicked off a tour in support of Untitled, a trek that’ll keep the singer on the road and not trapped in a closet until a December 8th show in St. Louis, Missouri. Check out the remaining tour dates below: Oct. 22 – Atlanta, GA Oct. 23 – Chattanooga, TN Oct. 24 – Charleston, SC Oct. 25 – Augusta, GA Oct. 27 – Birmingham, AL Oct. 29 – Dallas, TX Oct. 30 – Houston, TX Oct. 31 – New Orleans, LA Nov. 1 – Memphis, TN Nov. 5 – Los Angeles, CA Nov. 6 – Las Vegas, NV Nov. 7 – Oakland, CA Nov. 12 – Indianapolis, IN Nov. 14 – Detroit, MI Nov. 15 – Milwaukee, WI Nov. 17 – Chicago, IL Nov. 20 – Louisville, KY Nov. 21 – Charlotte, NC Nov. 22 – Greensboro, NC Nov. 24 – Washington, DC Nov. 27 – Jacksonville, FL Nov. 28 – Miami, FL Nov. 29 – Tampa, FL Dec. 4 – Norfolk, VA Dec. 5 – Richmond, VA Dec. 6 – Cleveland, OH Dec. 8 – St. Louis, MO

50 Cent Complex Mag Interview: Talks Dre, Diddy, And Before I Self Destruct

Posted by Mr.I Get It on October 21, 2009 at 1:09pm

The homie Joe La Puma from Complex Mag sat down with 50 yesterday to ask him questions regarding the album, Dre, Diddy or Jay-Z...Complex: Is there tension between you and Dre?50 Cent: There’s no tension. There will never be a beef between 50 Cent and Dre. And it’s not based on 50 and Dre’s relationship, it’s based on Eminem and Dre’s relationship. My relationship with Em is what Em’s relationship is to Dre. If I was to say something disrespectful to Dre, it would effect Em and I value that relationship too much. So I won’t say anything, I’ll never say anything negative about Dre.Complex: Does it bother you that it can take Dre so long to mix your records?50 Cent: Oh no, that’s just him as a producer. He takes his time. He loses interest in shit. I don’t care how great you are. He’s great, but he loses interest in himself at points. So the making of the record at this point is motivation. He’ll tell you himself that that’s what he feels.Complex: How do you feel about him working with Game?50 Cent: I don’t care. It’s better that you shut up sometimes than for you to actually express your judgments when you’re close to home.Complex: Shifting gears, in your VH1 Behind The Music episode, there was a part that talked about Diddy taking a meeting with you, and him getting shook because you brought a gun to the office…50 Cent: This is what happened. Jennifer Lopez told Puffy that I was a great writer because Corey Rooney signed me to Columbia Records. Jennifer had been exposed to my material, so she told Puff she thinks I’m somebody he should work with. I came down to write and I was in there writing a couple of joints and Puff left the actual room. There was rustling and rambling at the door and shit like that. I jumped up—when you get hurt as bad as I got hurt, either your fear consumes you or you become insensitive. So I jumped up and figured “as you come through the door, I’ll shoot your ass down right there in the door.” The paranoia heightens your senses. You start to see every little detail, every little thing. You don’t want to miss anything and have it turn out there’s someone shooting you again. When I heard the rambling outside, I jumped up, I had a Mac-10 on me. Pulled the joint out and Puff came in and looked, said, “Oh shit, I can’t do this.”As a matter fact, it was Shyne and Wolf, wrestling outside. Puff was going through that actual case when he called me in to write and I’m in his office with a Mac-10. He was like, “I can’t do that.” After the fact, I looked at it and was like, That’s a legitimate call.Complex: Getting back to Jay-Z, who ended up #1 on the list. Much has been made of his recent comment that “no one is afraid of 50 Cent.” Regardless, it seems like the general public agrees that Kanye wouldn’t have pulled that stunt if you were on stage instead of Taylor Swift…50 Cent: He wouldn’t. You can’t convince the public, you can’t convince Kanye to say he would’ve did that. If I was there and he did that to me we would have had an altercation. Right there. It’s clear. He [Kanye] would have avoided that, just being intelligent. The interviewer who asked [Jay-Z] about the Kanye situation made him feel like a punk. His presentation is really simple and you can’t have both. You can’t be gangster Jay from Marcy and be the good guy Jay-Z on Oprah. You just can’t. They don’t let you in. That’s Mr. Knowles, he just got that pass. There ain’t any tickets to an inauguration ball with niggas. If you’re from the hood, you have that element or that aura around you, there’s no tickets for you. It’s “safe” people there. This is why those things are happening. This is why he has to convince the person that he’s talking to he’s not afraid of anyone.Complex: Were you surprised that Fat Joe only sold that many his first week?50 Cent: Well, I have 8,000 friends. So that’s extremely low.Complex: It’s very low…50 Cent: Watch this. Want a prediction from me? ...Read the rest of the interview with 50 Cent on Complex Mag.com

WTF ? After Flu Shot Washington Redskins Cheerleader Contracts Dystonia & Can Only Walk Backwards Without Problems !

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on October 21, 2009 at 10:00am
MYFOXDC Reports Videos After The Jump WASHINGTON, D.C. - An Ashburn, Virginia woman is in the fight of her life after suffering a very rare side effect to the seasonal flu shot. The vast majority of doctors say flu shots are safe. In this case, the FDA says they found nothing wrong with this particular batch, but sometimes there are complications. That's apparently what happened to Desiree Jennings, and now her life will never be the same. At 26 years old, Desiree Jennings was the picture of health. She's a Washington Redskins cheerleader and an avid runner. Her life changed forever on August 23 when she says she got a seasonal flu shot at a local grocery store. "I was training for a half marathon then," said Jennings, crying. "It just all went so fast." Ten days after receiving the shot, she came down with the flu. After that, her health spiraled downwards. She started passing out and had to be hospitalized twice. "We went to an urgent care place and they wouldn't even let her get out of my truck because she was seizing in the back so bad, so they called an ambulance immediately," says her husband, Brendan Jennings. Doctors at Fairfax Inova and Johns Hopkins diagnosed her with a rare neurological disorder called dystonia. They think it was caused by a severe reaction to the flu shot. Desiree now has difficulty speaking, walking, and even eating. During an interview with FOX 5, she had several seizures. The effects are irreversible. "The symptoms will get worse if I use my voice or walk when the brain signals are misfiring," says Jennings. Desiree reported her health problems to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) thinking there might have been something wrong with her vaccine. We also contacted the FDA and we were told they found no problems with the particular lot of flu vaccines that Desiree received, and the agency has not received any other reports of adverse effects from this lot. Health experts stress that overall, extreme side effects are rare. "The flu shot is safe for the majority of the public, and as I said before, your heart goes out to someone that experiences this sort of thing-- thinking that they are doing something great for their wellness and their general health, but it does happen in extremely rare cases," says Rachel Lynch with Fairfax Inove Health System. For Desiree, she just happened to be one of those rare cases. "I just don't want this to happen to anyone else," says Jennings. Desiree and her husband plan to visit the Mayo Clinic in Arizona in November. They're hoping to get more answers about this disease and how they live with it. Desiree has received flu shots before in 2007 and 2008.
