New Song: JAKK FROST “Gay Bashin’”

28 mei 2011, 15:00

Jakk Frost controversial release "Gay Bashin" off his upcoming Coldest Summer Ever is not about bashing those who live an alternative lifestyle.[/p]According to the Philadelphia bred rapper, “I don’t condone hate crimes against somebody for their sexual preference on no level. Not one time in the record do I say ‘Go kill a male or a female because they choose to have sex with the same sex. It’s not what the record is about. ‘Gay Bashing’ was the title because it’s just that. It’s me bashing these gay swag fag type rappers".[/p]Hopefully, this song provokes the skin jean movement of rappers to reassess their attire when prancing on the stage in the name of hip-hop.[/p]

 [/p]SYNOPSIS: We follow a group of Muslim Hip Hop artists living in the United States and United Kingdom. They discuss intimately with us the challenges they face trying to balance their faith, culture, and the pressures of daily Western life.[/p]The film provides an intimate look into the lives of a group we know very little about and how they deal with the many issues surrounding their culture and religion. Mutah Beale (formerly Napoleon of Tupac Shakur’s Outlawz) is adamant about leaving music and the Hip Hop scene as an act of obedience to God. Rapper Tyson Amir Mustafa and HBO Def Poet Amir Sulaiman see nothing wrong with using music as a form of cultural expression and DJ BelikeMuhammad even claims to use Hip Hop as a means of proselytizing his faith.[/p]We show both sides of this conflict, through intimate and emotional scenes where the artists candidly express what motivates them to feel the way they do.[/p]This is the tale of one of the most influential pop culture movements of our time and its relationship to Islam, one of the worlds fastest growing religions.[/p]

Dark Girls: Preview of Documentary

26 mei 2011, 16:56

The self-hate of ones skin color or the texture of their hair is prevalent today as it was in the days our ancestors were slaves. I remember a quote from Bell Hooks, "As a strategy of colonization, encouraging enslaved blacks to embrace and uphold white supremacist aesthetics was a masterstroke. Teaching black folks to hate dark skin was one way to ensure that whether white oppressors were present or not, the values of white supremacy would still rule the day."[/p]We do not have to look no further than today's rap lyrics to see the embrace of self-hate for our own race.[/p]"And uh, long hair, don't care/I put it there, right there..." - Lil Wayne  (My Ni**a)[/p]"light skinned girl, long curly black hair, sorry for wasting time, I know you probably don’t care..." - The Game[/p]Directors Bill Duke and D. Channsin Berry put together  a documentary exploring the deep-seated biases and attitudes about skin color—particularly dark skinned women, outside of and within the Black American culture.[/p]

 

 

Amber Rose Grace Cover of VIBE Magazine

26 mei 2011, 10:45

Amber Rose's reality show may be in limbo, but that does not stop her from gracing the cover of your favorite magazines. Rose speaks about her relationship with rap superstar Kanye and football player Reggie Bush among other things.

Amber Speaks:

AMBER ON LIFE POST-KANYE:

“What am I supposed to do? Crawl up in a corner and die ‘cause I’m not with Kanye anymore? Am I supposed to go back to the strip club and not take these opportunities that I have?”[/p] AMBER OF HER RELATIONSHIP WITH REGGIE BUSH:[/p]

“Me and Reggie [Bush] dated very briefly after Kanye…We were both each other’s rebound and we both knew that and were cool with that.”


[/p]

AMBER ON WHY HER STORY IS RELATABLE:

“I don’t have rich parents and it’s a struggle. I can’t just call my dad and be like, ‘Dad, my money is a little messed up. Can you buy me a car or a house? It’s not like that for me. I feel like more people will relate to my story than the Kardashians or the Hiltons.”[/p] AMBER ON BEING ICONIC:[/p]“Kanye would always tell be how beautiful I was and that I was going to be iconic. He always said that, ‘Baby, you are iconic. You don’t understand what you have.’ I didn’t. I didn’t understand it.”[/p]Spotted @ RapRadar
