Radio legend Troi Torain (STAR) always delivers hard-hitting objective truth. As a culture critic he is vicious, as a businessman he is relentless, as a luminary he is un-matched.
Considered a radio pioneer by many, STAR has set precedents on the urban landscape and was recently inducted into News One's "Top 20 Black Radio Jockeys Of All Time."
STAR & BUC WILD made the national stage on MTV (1999) but it was their radio show on New York's Hot 97 and Power 105 (2000 - 2006) that secured their place in Hip-Hop history.
Torain's resume includes The Source magazine, MTV Networks, Hot 97, Power 104.1, Power 105.1, Pulse 87, Hip-Hop Weekly magazine, Vladtv, Thisis50, 100.3 The Beat, shot97.com and VH1 (The Gossip Game).
This clip is from STAR's LIVE show (12noon -- 2pm) on http://shot97.com.

Chris Brown is on a flight to Washington, D.C., where his attorney, Mark Geregos, will attempt to persuade a judge to dismiss the assault charges against his client because he believes prosecutors inappropriately used the grand jury to gain an unfair advantage in the criminal case.
The case will be heard on Monday, April 7, which will give Chris just enough time to arrive. The singer was restrained with handcuffs as well as ankle and waist chains today and placed on board the Justice Prisoner and Alien Transportation System (JPATS), or Con Air as it is commonly called.
The flight will make numerous stops along the way to pick up other prisoners. It's not expected to arrive in D.C. until Sunday, April 6.
U.S. Marshals will guard Chris and the other prisoners during the long flight.
TMZ reports that if Geregos' arguments fall on deaf ears Monday, Chris will have to sit in a D.C. jail until the April 17 trial date. The singer has been in an L.A. jail since being kicked out of court ordered anger management rehab on March 14.

While in New York starring on Broadway in Of Mice and Men, James Franco met a 17-year old female tourist from Scotland named Lucy Clode, who was seeking an autograph. The 35-year old actor struck up a conversation with her which led to the two later chatting on Instagram.
After being asked her age, if she had a boyfriend and if she wanted to meet up at a hotel, Lucy became suspicious that she might be getting catfished and asked Franco to provide her with a photo of himself with her name written on a piece of paper.
The actor obliged, then Lucy turned around and leaked the photo and private texts between the two online.
Franco didn't do anything illegal because the legal age of consent in New York is 17 and 16 in Scotland. It's just an embarrassing situation for the Hollywood star.
Franco responded on Twitter by writing: "I'M NOT! I HOPE PARENTS KEEP THEIR TEENS AWAY FROM ME. Thank you."
Is that a denial or a warning to parents? We're not sure. What do you think about the situation?
**UPDATE** April 4
James Franco appeared on Live with Kelly and Michael this morning and wanted to clear the air about the topic everyone is talking about.
To his credit he didn't try to deny that it happened. He owned up to it and admitted he made a mistake.
"I'm embarrassed and I guess I'm just a model of how social media is tricky," Franco said. "It's a way people meet each other today. But what I've learned... I guess because I'm new to it, you don't know who's on the other end. You meet somebody in person and you get a feel for them. But you don't know who you're talking to. I used bad judgement and I learned my lesson. Unfortunately in my position I have a very good life," he continued. "Not only do I have to go through the kind of embarrassing rituals of meeting someone. Sometimes if I do that, then it gets published for the world. So, now it's doubly embarrassing."

FORT HOOD, Texas (Associated Press) — An Iraq War veteran being treated for mental illness was the gunman who opened fire at Fort Hood, killing three people and wounding 16 others before committing suicide, in an attack on the same Texas military base where more than a dozen people were slain in 2009, authorities said.
Within hours of the Wednesday attack, investigators started looking into whether the man's combat experience had caused lingering psychological trauma. Fort Hood's senior officer, Lt. Gen. Mark Milley, said the gunman had sought help for depression, anxiety and other problems.
Lt. Gen. Mark Milley
Among the possibilities investigators planned to explore was whether a fight or argument on the base triggered the attack.
"We have to find all those witnesses, the witnesses to every one of those shootings, and find out what his actions were, and what was said to the victims," said a federal law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity, because he was not authorized to discuss the case by name.
The official said authorities would begin by speaking with the man's wife, and expected to search his home and any computers he owned.
Xanderia Morris said she was with the wife of Ivan Lopez when the woman learned her husband killed himself after fatally shooting three people and wounding at least 16 at Fort Hood.
The shooter was identified as Ivan Lopez by Texas Rep. Michael McCaul, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee. But the congressman offered no other details, and the military declined to identify the gunman until his family members had been notified.
Lopez apparently walked into a building Wednesday afternoon and began firing a .45-caliber semi-automatic pistol. He then got into a vehicle and continued firing before entering another building, but he was eventually confronted by military police in a parking lot, according to Milley, senior officer on the base.
As he came within 20 feet of an officer, the gunman put his hands up but then reached under his jacket and pulled out his gun. The officer drew her own weapon, and the suspect put his gun to his head and pulled the trigger a final time, Milley said.
The gunman, who served in Iraq for four months in 2011, had been undergoing an assessment before the attack to determine if he had post-traumatic stress disorder, Milley said.
He arrived at Fort Hood in February from another base in Texas. He was taking medication, and there were reports that he had complained after returning from Iraq about suffering a traumatic brain injury, Milley said. The commander did not elaborate.
The gunman was never wounded in action, according to military records, and there was no indication the attack was related to terrorism, Milley said. His weapon had been recently purchased in the local area and was not registered to be on the base, Milley said.
Lopez was from the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico and joined the island's National Guard in 1999. He went on a peace and security mission to Egypt's Sinai Peninsula in the mid-2000s, and left the National Guard in 2010 to join the U.S. Army, said Lt. Col. Ruth Diaz, spokeswoman for the Puerto Rico National Guard.
Those injured were taken to the base hospital and other local hospitals. At least three of the nine patients at Scott & White Memorial Hospital in Temple were listed in critical condition.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with all families involved," Diaz said. "There is loss on both sides here."
Wednesday's attack immediately revived memories of the 2009 shooting rampage on Fort Hood, the deadliest attack on a domestic military installation in U.S. history. Thirteen people were killed and more than 30 were wounded.
Until an all-clear siren sounded hours after Wednesday's shooting began, relatives of soldiers waited anxiously for news about their loved ones.
"The last two hours have been the most nerve-wracking I've ever felt," said Tayra DeHart, 33, who had earlier heard from her husband that he was safe but was waiting to hear from him again.
Brooke Conover, whose husband was on base at the time of the shooting, said she found out about it while checking Facebook. She immediately called her husband, Staff Sgt. Sean Conover.
"I just want him to come home," she said.
President Barack Obama vowed a complete investigation. In a hastily arranged statement while in Chicago, Obama reflected on the sacrifices Fort Hood troops have made — including enduring multiple tours to Iraq and Afghanistan.
"They serve with valor. They serve with distinction, and when they're at their home base, they need to feel safe," Obama said Wednesday. "We don't yet know what happened tonight, but obviously that sense of safety has been broken once again."
Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan was convicted last year for the November 2009 mass shooting at Fort Hood. According to trial testimony, he walked into a crowded building, shouted "Allahu Akbar!" — Arabic for "God is great!" — and opened fire. The rampage ended when Hasan was shot in the back by base police officers.
Hasan, now paralyzed from the waist down, is on death row at the military prison at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas. He has said he acted to protect Islamic insurgents abroad from American aggression.
After that shooting, the military tightened base security nationwide. That included issuing security personnel long-barreled weapons, adding an insider-attack scenario to their training, and strengthening ties to local law enforcement. The military also joined an FBI intelligence-sharing program aimed at identifying terror threats.
In September, a former Navy man opened fire at the Washington Navy Yard, leaving 13 people dead, including the gunman. After that shooting, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel ordered the Pentagon to review security at all U.S. defense installations worldwide and examine the granting of security clearances that allow access to them.
Asked Wednesday about security improvements in the wake of the shootings, Hagel said: "Obviously when we have these kinds of tragedies on our bases, something's not working."
