Charles Hamilton Making His Return?

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Since being shunned from the offices of Interscope and having his debut album shelved indefinitely, the rap career of Charles Hamilton seemed to have died out before it could truly launch.

Last impressions are almost as significant as first and for Hamilton, his last image was that of having a few teeth shifted after a punch from his female affiliate. Sonic lost all his coins after that hit, as he completely dropped off the (more...)

Details Spill On Eminem's “Shady Talez”

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

With a history of ruthless, malicious lyrics to make fans cringe or cause a stir, it only makes sense that Eminem would use his ability to craft frightening tales and paint it on a larger canvas.

Earlier reports gave mention of the rapper working on a series of horror films titled Shady Talez and now further details have surfaced as it pertains to the upcoming flick.

The actual film will be a 3D anthology film which will showcase the rapper's ability to be a chameleon as he will be put (more...)

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

In another act of senseless violence a toddler and two adults were killed Monday in a drive-by shooting.

20-month year old Shaniya Burden, 45-year-old Charles Kittrell, and 21-year-old Christopher Powell all died after a car pulled up to the South Carolina porch where they were sitting and opened fire.

The toddler's mother, 24-year-old Aleshia Kittrell tried to shield her baby but a bullet went through the baby's head and through the mother's arm.

At least five other people were injured in the shooting.

The motive for the violence is still unknown although there is speculation that it could be gang related.

Police are currently looking for a black car with one headlight in connection with the crime.

This is so so sad. Does the violence ever stop?!

Church Stages Protest Outside Of Obama Daughters' School

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

A radical church is taking their protests of Obama to new heights and marching outside of his daughter's school. Sasha and Malia Obama attend Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C. and that's precisely where Westboro Baptist Church staged an anti-Obama rally on Monday.

The “church” is actually a notorious hate group run by Fred Phelps. Comprised of mostly his family, the group travels the country holding hate rallies. They are known for holding them at controversial places and in the past have protested outside of soldier's funerals and targeted Jewish temples.

A message on the “church's” website refers to the Obama children as “satanic spawn” of a “murderous bastard.” They are also protesting outside the White House and at other local schools.

At the children's school though?! Disrespectful!

I hope Secret Service is all over their asses.
