Comedian Justin Hires hilariously spoofs Jay-Z's Samsung commercials leading up to the release of his album, Magna Carta Holy Grail. Waka Flocka decides to put his own spin on the idea. He's thinks Paula Deen should star in the next Madea movie, Miley Cyrus needs to twerk over Gospel music, Lebron James is actually a king, Ocho Cinco is Mexican, Cuba Gooding Jr. is the first black Cuban, he solves a murder on the album and lastly he wants to release Waka Flocka Holy Grail on February 31 (even though there are only 28 days in the month).
George Zimmerman was acquitted in the murder trial of Trayvon Martin on Saturday (July 13), but he will likely face a civil suit from the 17-year old's parents, Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton.
After the verdict was read both took to Twitter to express their anguish.
"God blessed Me & Sybrina with Tray and even in his death I know my baby proud of the FIGHT we along with all of you put up for him GOD BLESS," Martin wrote. "Thanks to everyone who are with us and who will be with us si we together can make sure that this doesn't happen again. Even though I am broken hearted my faith is unshattered I WILL ALWAYS LOVE MY BABY TRAY."
Trayvon Martin
"I would like to share with you my favorite bible verse: 'Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.' Proverbs 3:5-6," Fulton wrote. "Lord during my darkest hour I lean on you. You are all that I have. At the end of the day, GOD is still in control. Thank you all for your prayers and support. I will love you forever Trayvon!!! In the name of Jesus!!!"
Benjamin Todd Jealous
Benjamin Todd Jealous, the President of the NAACP vowed to pursue a civil case against Zimmerman with the Department of Justice.
“We are outraged and heartbroken over today’s verdict," Jealous said. "We stand with Trayvon's family, and we are called to act."
Rev. Al Sharpton
The Rev. Al Sharpton called the verdict a “slap in the face to those who believe in justice.”
"What this jury has done is establish a precedent that when you are young and fit a certain profile, you can be committing no crime ... and be killed and someone can claim self-defense," Sharpton continued. "We had to march to even get a trial and even at trial, when he's exposed over and over again as a liar, he is acquitted."
George Zimmerman
Meanwhile, Zimmerman has gone into hiding amid death threats and public outrage at the verdict.
"He has to be very cautious and protective of his safety because there is still a fringe element who have said, at least in tweets and everything else, that they want revenge -- that they will not listen to a verdict of not guilty," defense attorney Mark O'Mara told CNN.

@KingOfTheDot - #TAKEOVER - @DAYLYT2k vs @KGThePoet. Hosted By: @LushOne, @AspectOne, @Malathion01, @KaoticNat & King Richard from SD. NEW look KOTD forums: http://www.kingofthedot.com/forums.
Despite his status as a novice in the game, KG the Poet spits with a level of skill and cleverness usually attributed only to veterans. Only a year deep into his battle rap career, the Arizona via Michigan emcee may belong to the newest generation of battling, but has shown that he more than has the work ethic and natural talent to quickly rise to the top of his class. After having a very prolific first year in which he took on battlers such as J-Pro, Megadef and Uno Lavoz, KG looks to follow the momentum he built into his second year of battling. Possessing a commanding stage presence and a proclivity for witty yet hard hitting bars, the Poet remains true to his moniker with his complex and clever writing. Taking on his biggest opponent to date, KG the Poet steps up against Daylyt in this match from KOTDWC's Takeover event.
Nowadays, any conversation revolving around battle rap will eventually turn to Daylyt. Despite, or perhaps due to, his antics, Daylyt has gotten just about as close to a household name as any battle rapper can, whether it be wearing a Jesus outfit under his KKK uniform in a battle, or stripping down to reveal all on stage, Daylyt has proven that his is the consummate performer, always bringing more than just his bars to a show. Coming out of Watts, CA, the Spawn-faced battle rapper has been all over the map as late, performing in Canada, Britain, and Australia and has commanded matches against the likes of Math Hoffa, Shotty Horroh, and Rich Dolarz. Always entertaining, Daylyt brings bars on top of bars, having coined several popular catchphrases and taking the concept of 'wordplay' to a new level. Back on KOTDwC camera's, Daylyt goes up against newcomer KG the Poet in this first release from Takeover.

SANFORD, Fla. — After deliberating for more than 15 hours over two days, jurors reached a verdict of not guilty in George Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial.
The jurors notified the judge Saturday night a little before 10 p.m. that they had reached a decision.
The six-member, all-woman jury began deliberating at 2:30 p.m. Friday after spending part of the day listening to the defense closing arguments and a rebuttal from the prosecution.
Zimmerman was charged with second-degree murder in Trayvon Martin's death, but jurors could have also chosen manslaughter. Zimmerman claims he shot Martin in self-defense.
The case drew massive protests after a 44-day delay in Zimmerman's arrest. Demonstrators demanded Zimmerman's arrest.
The police chief in Sanford, where Martin was shot and where the trial is being held, urged peace after the verdict is read.
