NEW YORK (AP) — Rivals in life, the rappers Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur are being united for an auction at Sotheby’s, the first-ever dedicated hip-hop auction at a major international auction house.

Bidders will be able to vie for the crown worn and signed by the Notorious B.I.G. during a 1997 photo shoot held three days before he was killed in Los Angeles. They’ll also get to bid on an archive of 22 autographed love letters written by Shakur at the age of 15-17 to a high school sweetheart.

The auction will be held Sept. 15 and features over 120 hip-hop-related lots. The items can be viewed in person — reservations are required during the pandemic — at Sotheby’s in New York City and the exhibition will also be available to the public online via its digital gallery.

“The impact of hip-hop is everywhere — sneakers, clothing, jewelry, art, music. I wanted to have a sale that really recognized how massive that impact really is,” said Cassandra Hatton, the Sotheby’s senior specialist who organized the sale.

The estimates for the headlining lots — $200,000 to $300,000 for the crown and $60,000 to $80,000 for the letters — are low, with the hope that the auction house can attract first-time bidders and show it is not just a stuffy place for multi-million-dollar watches and paintings.

Onetime friends who became rivals in a hype-fueled war between the East and West Coast rap scenes, Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G. — also known as Biggie Smalls — were gunned down within months of each other. Both crimes remain unsolved.

The crown has been in photographer Barron Claiborne’s possession since he captured Biggie for the cover of Rap Pages magazine. Claiborne had provided the prop, hoping to portray Biggie as the king of New York. Sean “Diddy” Combs, owner of Biggie’s label Bad Boy Entertainment, was with the rapper on the photo shoot.

“I’ve seen the crown. Everybody’s seen the crown. It’s so famous. It’s so iconic. When I was first thinking of doing this sale, I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be great to track that crown down?’” Hatton said. “I’ve sold all sorts of wild things. But this is a little different.”

Shakur’s letters — many on lined stationary pages with neat hand-lettered script — were written in 1987 and 1988 to Kathy Loy, a fellow student at the Baltimore School for the Arts. The 42 pages chronicle their approximately two-month long romance, including a letter of regret for breaking up sent a year later. Loy provided the letters for auction.

“I’ll always be there for you,” Shakur wrote to her in one. In a poem, we writes: “Everything is so beautiful/since I fell in love.” The trove also reveal his friendship with fellow student Jada Pinkett Smith, who he mentions in one letter: “Jada told me she can see how much I love you.”

What interested Hatton most is the tone of the letters. Unlike Shakur’s tough public persona, the letters reveal a “sweet, poetic, sensitive young man.”

“There are definitely moments that made me blush reading the letters — he is a 16-year-old boy after all,” she added. “But he is very respectful. He advocates for clear communication and boundaries and wants to define relationships.”

The auction continues Sotheby’s recent trend toward embracing items prized by popular culture, including hosting the first dedicated sneaker auction at one of the big auction houses in July 2019. A pair of Michael Jordan’s signed, game-worn Nikes was recently auctioned by Christie’s for a record $615,000.

When Jacob Blake’s father talked with his son Sunday morning, the younger Blake was gearing up for a day of celebrating his son’s eighth birthday.

That evening, the father got word that his son had been shot eight times by police officers in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Eighteen minutes later, he saw the now-viral video, he said.

“What justified all those shots?” his father said. “What justified doing that in front of my grandsons? What are we doing?”

Some witnesses say Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man who attended middle and high school in Evanston, was simply trying to break up a fight Sunday evening. The cellphone video of the incident shows Blake walking around and opening up his car door before appearing to be shot in the back by police.


His father said there are now “eight holes” in his son’s body, and he’s paralyzed from the waist down. Doctors don’t yet know if the injury is permanent.

The elder Blake is now making the drive from Charlotte, North Carolina, to be with his son in the hospital Tuesday.

“I want to put my hand on my son’s cheek and kiss him on his forehead, and then I’ll be OK,” his father said. “I’ll kiss him with my mask. The first thing I want to do is touch my son.”

He’s been living in Kenosha for about three years, his father said, and is the father of six children between ages three and 13. Family is “definitely” important to the younger Blake, who has seven brothers and five sisters, according to his father.

“If you were in need of something and my son had it, he would not hesitate to give it to you,” his father said. “He’s a very giving individual.”

Video After The Jump

In this episode of People's Party, Talib Kweli and co-host Jasmin Leigh sit down with comedian, DJ, radio & tv personality, as well as close friend of Kweli -- Cipha Sounds. The interview spans Cipha making a name for himself DJing for some of the biggest names in hip-hop to later finding a new calling and success in the world of comedy.

Topics include Cipha cutting his teeth in broadcasting as a mix show DJ on Funkmaster Flex's evening show with Hot 97 in New York. He talks about how he found his love of Reggae music, where his surname originated from, Funkmaster Flex's under-appreciated role in underground hip-hop, and why Cipha wanted to become a DJ in the first place. He goes on to speak about his time as an A&R for Rawkus and Tommy Boy and outlines why he feels he wasn't a success in that role. He then reflects on what it was like being on tour with Lil' Kim and tells the story about one of the several times he was shot at while being her road with her. Cipha also shares his perspective of the N-word, speaks on his friendship with Peter Rosenberg with whom he hosted the 'Juan Epstein Podcast,' and he's asked if he felt like he was done dirty at the time he departed from Hot 97.

Later Cipha speaks on what it means to be signed to Roc Nation, and what his relationship with Jay Z has been like over the years of working together. Cipha tells about the two of them never missing the chance to take sarcasm shots at each other and goes on to tell how he met HOV when he was just getting his career off the ground with two singles under his belt at the time. He notes how much working with Jay and Roc Nation really helped him understand the music business. Cipha also touches on his taking a hiatus from radio and tv to pursue a career as a comedian, and talks about the hard road he faced like many others in that industry. He tells how he met Dave Chappelle, how that friendship inspired him, his love for improv, and his contributions to TruTV's 'Laff Mobb's Laff Tracks' comedy show. Finally Cipha goes into his outspokenness on the dangers of food addiction, which he's struggled with over recent years.

TIMESTAMPS:

4:33 -- Cipha is asked about his strong connection to Reggae music, and how that came about. He explains how he gained his affirmation for the genre when he got started on Hot 97, being asked to do the Reggae sets, then later getting deeper into the culture when he visited Miami and experienced the dancehall scene down there. Cipha also gets into how he got his surname through his immersion into the Five Percent Nation philosophy, details all the important things he learned under the tutelage of Funkmaster Flex while working at Hot 97, and they discuss how much Flex is underappreciated for his role in underground getting it's fair share of radio play during the 90's.

11:34 -- Cipha gets asked how he was able to stay relevant within the mainstream and underground worlds simultaneously. Cipha gets into how his interest in DJing had nothing to do with girls and free booze, with only a mindset of pushing the culture forward. Talib goes on to ask Cipha about his time being an A&R for Rawkus and Tommy Boy, asks what he feels makes a good A&R, and why they are considered the boogeyman of the industry. Cipha gets into how he viewed the role, how he felt like he was good at it, but why that didn't necessarily translate into being a successful one with a rude awakening he experienced when he assumed others valued loyalty as much as he did with his help of getting Rick Ross signed to a record deal.

19:12 -- Cipha gets into his experiences being on tour with Lil' Kim, recounting a story that involved Kim screaming in the greenroom during a show, and flipping over a table, leading to guns getting drawn, and bullet holes in their van as they peeled off from the scene. Cipha also talks about bringing Jarret Myer, the co-ceo of Rawkus to hardcore hip hop clubs to help him get an ear to the street. They later discuss the N-word and how it's use among hispanics is viewed differently in and outside of New York, Cipha speaks to his own personal rules of using the word, and Talib talks about how he's been finding himself using it less as he matures.

31:10 -- Cipha speaks to his friendship with Peter Rosenberg, with whom he hosted the 'Juan Epstein Podcast' on Hot 97. Cipha notes how many fights they had during the course of them working together, but always coming back through the common bond of their deep love for hip hop, and both having the same vision of the music coming first. Talib goes on to ask Cipha if he feels like he was done dirty when he was 'fired' from Hot 97, not taking his loyalty into full consideration. Cipha responds by outlining how it was a dark time at the station when it all occurred, reflects on what he learned from the experience, and shares his response to people that ask him why Flex didn't save his job.

38:01 -- Talib asks Cipha about his relationship with Jay-Z, and what it means to be signed to Roc Nation. Cipha tells how he got on with HOV when they were both in London while Cipha was DJing for Lil' Kim and Jay was on his first big tour during the release of his debut album 'Reasonable Doubt'. He details his friendship with Jay being similar to that of his mom's, constantly taking sarcasm shots at each other. He then goes on to tell about the notable people that he introduced to Jay, including Damien Marley, Rianna, Tru Life as well as others, and how working with Roc Nation really opened his eyes on how to operate effectively in the music business.

42:30 -- Jasmin asks Cipha about him stating that he left Hot 97 to pursue a career in comedy. He reflects on the long hours he spent in his basement sharpening his skills in comedy like he did DJing, only to realize the real way to stand-up success is on stage with a live audience and experiencing what it's like to bomb. Cipha also goes into how he met Dave Chappelle and became his regular DJ on the Chappelle Show, outlining how nonchalant he seemed when he found out he landed a regular spot on Comedy Central. They also discuss Cipha's love of improv, his hand in getting 'Laff Mobb's Laff Tracks' off the ground, and comedian's funerals.

53:31 -- Cipha gets asked about his straight-edge lifestyle, even though "he always looks high as f*ck", and why he feels the need to speak out about the dangers of food addiction being his number one struggle over so many years. He explains the things he felt that led to his substantial weight gain. He gives the reasons why he feels food addiction is the most dangerous drug. He speaks to how the covid-era has been especially hard for a guy like himself.

DETROIT – After a 20-year-old Southfield woman was declared dead on Sunday, a funeral home discovered she was still breathing -- and very much alive.

Sources tell Local 4 the woman was found in cardiac arrest inside her home in Southfield on Sunday morning. The family called 911 and Southfield fire crews responded.

Southfield Fire released a statement:

“At 7:34 a.m. on August 23, 2020, Southfield Fire Department paramedics arrived at a home in Southfield on a call for an unresponsive female. When paramedics arrived, they found a 20-year-old who was not breathing. The paramedics performed CPR and other life reviving methods for 30 minutes. Given medical readings and the condition of the patient, it was determined at that time that she did not have signs of life.”

Sources with knowledge of this investigation tell Local 4 that Southfield police allegedly saw her move and breathe and called the fire crews back, but fire crews claim those were the side effects of the medication given to her.

Several sources said the female was picked up and transported to James H. Cole Funeral Home in Detroit on Schaefer Highway between 11:30 a.m. and noon on Sunday. That’s when employees at the funeral home discovered that she was still breathing.

EMS and emergency crews found her very much alive and drove her to the hospital, but her current condition remains unclear.

A Black man was hospitalized in serious condition after police shot him several times in the back as he opened the door of a parked vehicle in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Graphic video of the shooting emerged on social media late Sunday, sparking angry protests that prompted the city to declare an emergency curfew.

The man was later identified as Jacob Blake, 29, according to Governor Tony Evers, who said Blake was "shot in the back multiple times, in broad daylight."

"While we do not have all of the details yet, what we know for certain is that he is not the first Black man or person to have been shot or injured or mercilessly killed at the hands of individuals in law enforcement in our state or our country," Evers said in a statement.

The shooting, which is now under investigation by the Wisconsin Department of Justice, occurred around 5 p.m. Sunday when officers responded to calls of a domestic incident. Video shows Blake walking away from officers who are pointing their weapons at him. He approaches an SUV, opens the driver's side door when an officer grabs his shirt, and then fires at least seven shots into Blake's back.

Officers provided medical aid to Blake, who was transported to a hospital in Milwaukee in serious condition, the state's Department of Justice said. The officers involved were placed on administrative leave.

Attorney Benjamin Crump, a prominent civil rights lawyer retained by Blake's family, said Blake's three children were inside the SUV when their father was shot by police. "We will seek justice for Jacob Blake and for his family as we demand answers from the Kenosha Police Department," Crump said in a statement.

The shooting sparked outrage in Kenosha, which is located nearly 40 miles south of Milwaukee, as protesters gathered at the scene of the shooting. Several businesses in the area were vandalized and about 50 cars were set on fire at a local car lot, CBS affiliate WDJT reported.

"I know he's got kids and a girl. I never had a problem with him. I always see him every day. [He] parks right behind me on the street," one neighbor said.

The shooting comes amid nationwide outrage over the fatal police shootings of Black Americans. Protests across the country have pushed for policing reform following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody.

AP - In the year since Elijah McClain died after being stopped by police in suburban Denver on his way home from a store, the number of people calling for justice to be done in his case has grown to millions of people around the world.

Like his family and activists who have been protesting over the Black man’s death from the beginning, they want the three officers charged with killing McClain.

Three Aurora officers, including one involved in the encounter with McClain, were fired and one resigned in July over photos that mocked the neck hold that was used on McClain on Aug. 24, 2019.

However, the three officers who got into a violent struggle with McClain, a 23-year-old massage therapist, after he questioned why he was being stopped have not faced any discipline for their actions in the encounter itself.

Aurora activist Candice Bailey said action, not more dialogue, is what is needed.

“There’s nothing to talk about. We’re at an impasse in the conversation,” she said.

A district attorney said last year he could not pursue criminal charges because an autopsy did not determine how McClain died, but state Attorney General Phil Weiser is looking at whether criminal charges are warranted in the case. Gov. Jared Polis ordered him to look at the case in June after outrage over McClain’s death grew amid protests over racial injustice following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

It’s one of several investigations or reviews taking place related to McClain’s death, including a health department review of paramedics’ use of the sedative ketamine on him. The Aurora Police Department also announced an independent review of its agency this month on the same day that the McClain family filed a civil rights lawsuit accusing the department of a pattern of racism and brutality.

McClain was stopped because someone had called 911 to report that he was wearing a ski mask and waving his hands and seemed “sketchy.” His family said he wore the mask because he had a blood condition that caused him to get cold easily.

Police body-camera video shows an officer getting out of his car, approaching McClain and saying, “Stop right there. Stop. Stop. ... I have a right to stop you because you’re being suspicious.”

In the video, the officer turns around McClain and repeats, “Stop tensing up” and says, “Relax, or I’m going to have to change this situation.”

Other officers join to restrain McClain, who tells them that he had stopped his music to listen to them and asks them to let him go.

The officers move McClain over the grass in front of an apartment building but what happens next is not clear from the video. Police have said one of the officers applied the neckhold.

All three of the officers’ body cameras eventually came off during the struggle but continued to record audio. An officer says McClain grabbed one of their guns. McClain can be heard trying to explain himself and sometimes crying out.

“I’m just different. I’m just different, that’s all. That’s all I was doing. I’m so sorry. I have no gun. I don’t do that stuff. I don’t do any fighting. Why were you attacking me? I don’t do guns. I don’t even kill flies. I don’t eat meat,” he said, as the officers talk among themselves.

One officer eventually retrieves his camera, which shows McClain handcuffed and laying on his side as another officer leans on him. The leaning officer says, “Move your camera dude” but the camera doesn’t move and continues to show the scene.

McClain suffered two heart attacks on the way to a hospital and was taken off life support six days later.

The increased spotlight on the case recently has made it more difficult for McClain’s family to grieve his loss.

McClain’s mother, Sheneen McClain, initially had planned on Sunday to take the same route her son was taking to walk his “spirit home” but later cancelled the event, saying in a Facebook post that the event had gotten out of hand.

She was also upset that McClain’s pleading words to police have been invoked by those protesting his death. They have shown up on signs and at protests and were read in an Instagram video by Janelle Monae, Meagan Good, Jonathan Van Ness and others calling on Colorado officials to pursue charges against the officers.

“IT’S NOT OKAY TO REPEAT MY SON’S DYING WORDS BECAUSE THATS ALL YOU CAN THINK TO DO. THINK HARDER!!!! THAT HURTS ME,” Sheneen McClain wrote. She has declined media interviews until the police officers are held accountable.

Mari Newman, the McClain family’s lawyer, said they welcome support from other people who are sharing the pain and outrage over McClain’s death but do not want to serve as a kind of “masters of ceremony” as they grieve.

“It’s just a very challenging time for them emotionally,” she said.

LIMA, Peru (AP) — Thirteen people died in a stampede at a disco in Peru after a police raid to enforce the country’s lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic, officials said Sunday.

The stampede happened at the Thomas disco in Lima, where about 120 people had gathered for a party on Saturday night, the Interior Ministry said.

People tried to escape through the only door of the second-floor disco, trampling one another and becoming trapped in the confined space, according to authorities.

After the stampede, police had to force open the door.

Franco Asensios, one of those who attended the party, told local radio RPP that the police raid started at 9 p.m. and that authorities told the party-goers to let the women exit first.

“People got excited and started to go down, and then they said that the people in front were suffocating,” he said.

Police have detained 23 people. Police chief Gen. Orlando Velasco said no firearms or tear gas were used during the raid.

Night clubs have been prohibited from operating since March because of the pandemic. Peru started lifting quarantine restrictions on June 30 in an effort to get the economy moving again, and the daily reported number of virus infections has doubled to more than 9,000 in recent weeks.

Peru has reported about 27,500 deaths from the new coronavirus.

Rapper Lil Mosey can't legally drink yet, but he's old enough to have some adult trouble with the law after getting arrested for carrying a concealed weapon.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the 18-year-old "Pull Up" rapper was busted in Burbank when cops pulled over a 2016 Cadillac Escalade with 3 people inside -- Mosey, his driver/bodyguard and a juvenile.

We're told cops initially made the stop last Sunday around 1 AM because they didn't have plates. That turned out to be the least of Mosey and his crew's problems.

Cops say things got serious when they noticed an empty holster sitting on the driver's lap, which prompted an immediate search ... and the discovery of 3 loaded 9mm semi-automatic pistols.

One was allegedly on the juvenile, one in the glove box and one in the center console. And, bonus round ... our sources say cops also found 4 credit cards in the bodyguards backpack that did NOT belong to any of the occupants.

All 3 occupants were placed under arrest -- all 3 got booked for felony concealed weapons since no once claimed the 2 weapons found in the glove and console.

We're told Lil Mosey posted $35k bail. The L.A. County D.A.'s Office is currently reviewing the case and Mosey's expected back in court next month.
