Books,Beef,and More
What's beef?
Bill Cosby vs Hip Hop? Ma$e vs Diplomats? Shyne vs 50?O'Reilley vs Moore? Take your pick.
Heres an interesting post on Russell Simmons at the Hip Hop Summit in Boston.
Jada signs on to the Pepsi Smash Tour.
Aaron McGruder's new graphic novel Birth of a Nation is a must-have. It's based on the premise that the Black town of East Saint Louis secedes from the Union after after a computer glitch disenfranchises a thousand citizens on election day. From designing new currency(whose face should go on the new nations nickel- Biggie's or Pac's?) to choosing the new flag (a White Jesus in the center of red,black and green Black nationalist banner),McGruder details the initial growing pains of Blackland with some of the most potent satirical jabs of his career. Bottom line- Birth of a Nation is "Boondocks" on a whole 'nother level,and an essential read.
