If This Isn't A Publicity Stunt, Then Gucci Mane Has Some Really Serious Issues!

Gully Tv has this video of a girl,that goes by the moniker"Mac Breezy",getting punched in the face by a well-known rapper.Gucci Mane is in the middle of a performance when he pushes this chick off stage. I guess she threw something at him & he socked her in the face. There is an interview with this broad afterwards where she explains the true nature of the confrontation.It was really a lover's spat.This dude is not attractive at all. But, apparently he's got a few girls on his team.And "Mac Breezy" was one of them.Whatever the case,a real man never hits a woman.Period!This talentless bastard is probably just mad because he's a bootleg version of Young Jeezy.I can't stand cowards like him & "Mac Breezy" uses this incident as an opportunity to plug herself and name-drop! Which kind of makes me wonder if this was just a publicity stunt.

Norrisman's "Persistance" Is The Song That I Dedicate To The Next Illinois Senator,Roland Burris!

Roland Burris is a show of determination & persistance! That's why I dedicate this song from one of my favorite artists,Norrisman,to the next Illinois senator.It's called "Persistance".Congrats,Senator Burris!

And I love this artist because he is truly prolific & positive! He was involved in a scuffle with another major reggae star,Sizzla,a while back.And Norrisman stayed true to his message of brotherhood & peace throughout the whole ordeal.I believe that he walks the talk.He's my artist of the day. Here's more on this lovely man from BigUpRadio:

"Born and raised in the notorious Trenchtown and Arnett Gardens area of Kingston, Jamaica, Christopher Campbell, now known as Norris Man had Bob Marley as a hometown hero to inspire his immersion into the musical arena. As a young boy Norris Man (named because of his enthusiasm for karate king Chuck Norris) would sit under a tree to write his own songs of redemption. Feeling music within him, Norris could not ignore his gift of singing and performing. In the Kingston dancehalls of his youth, older sound boys would hoist ten year-old Norris on top a Guiness box and hand him the mic to stir up the dance. Such experiences lit the musical fire for this ghetto youth. From there his musical journey began.
As he matured, Norris Man gained the respect of sound-systems throughout the city with his unique toasting and singing style. By age 22, he began recording songs in some of Kingstons most reputable recording studios such as Black Scorpio, Leggo, and Celestial Sounds Studio. By the mid-nineties, Norris found himself fully committed to his faith as a Rastafarian, wherein he experienced a shift in his consciousness to a higher spiritual and musical level. He created lyrical content that became more potent, more socially uplifting, and more meaningful. With this devotion, he recorded "Love and Affection" at Buju Banton's Cellblock studio."(End of Excerpt) Read the rest here:http://www.bigupradio.com/artistDetail.jsp?aid=475

Can You Believe Motown Has Been Around 50 Years?

Everyone thinks of Marvin Gaye,The Supremes,The Temptations,The Jacksons,etc... when you think of the Motown Sound.That's why I found this documentary called "Standing The Shadows Of Motown" to be very worthy of note. It's the first time that I've ever heard of the Funk Brothers. This video contains the trailer of that documentary. I saw it on cable a couple of years back.And to commemorate Motown's 50 year anniversary,BBC has done a great feature on them. Here's an excerpt:

"If you didn't know it was the 50th anniversary of Motown, you would find it hard to tell from a casual drive around Detroit, the city which gave the pioneering record label its name.

There are no signs indicating that this is a year of celebration.

But Detroit has not been Motown's headquarters since 1972, when founder Berry Gordy's ambitions to break into Hollywood led him to relocate to Los Angeles.

He had success there, but it was nothing compared to the label's 1960s heyday when it produced a string of hits.

Its spiritual home has remained at 2648 West Grand Boulevard, the house where the Gordy family lived and where Mr Gordy - as most Motown artists still call him - built one of the most successful empires in musical history, kickstarted by an $800 loan from his father.

Gordy decided to call the label after a nickname for Detroit. Motown - or motor town - reflected the city's then flourishing motor industry.

"The day he started, he asked us to join him - we casually said no," reflects Abdul "Duke" Fakir, the last surviving original member of one of Motown's most popular bands, The Four Tops.

"We knew him, but we didn't think a black man could have a chance in the music industry in Detroit." (END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7822940.stm
