The only predominately Black county in Florida has finally sworn it is first Black and first female judge. Gadsden County is welcoming Attorney Kathy Garner into her new position after the retirement of Judge Stewart E. Parsons.
Governor Charlie Crist commemorated the historic moment saying,
“With more than a decade of experience as an investigator and a child advocate, she has demonstrated the appropriate balance between compassion and justice needed by a judge.”
Before her appointment, Garner was a child support hearing officer and a sole practitioner with the Garner Law Group since 2000.
“I'm a fan of lyricism, so I like just spazzing out, going crazy.”
Quality has forever outweighed quantity. What is the point is an abundance of one things if it lacks substance and has no lasting impression? What is the point in essentially having a whole lot of nothing?
Part of the XXL Freshman Class of '09, New York's own Cory Gunz is a rapper that knows lyrics and is very keen as his rapid fire flow is sure to leave bullets that will stay buried in their target. Educated shots are more beneficial than random shots because they are planned and usually hit their mark.
Without a debut to date, his presence on Lil Wayne's (more...)
Three people believed to be associates of al-Qaida have been taken into federal custody and accused of dropping off drugs in Africa to fund future terrorist attacks. The three men were arrested in Ghana and mark the first time the U.S. has been able to link drug trafficking in Africa to al-Qaida.
According to the Associated Press, the U.S. has long been concerned about close ties between militants and the heroin trade in Afghanistan but this case in African comes as a surprise and shows an expansion of the organization's ties around the world.
Court papers say the DEA infiltrated the group by using informants posing as supporters of Colombia's rebel army. When an informant asked how the men planned on moving the drugs securely through Africa, one of them confirmed that al-Qaida would provide them protection.
The men are currently in Federal custody and being held without bail.
Ann Nixon Cooper, the Atlanta based woman who gained national attention after President Obama mentioned her in his election speech, has died.
The 107-year-old garnered praise from The President as he noted that the same woman who was born when Black people and women didn't have the right to vote, bore witness to the country electing its first Black president.
Cooper passed just weeks before her birthday on January 8 when she would have turned 108.
This is the portion of President Obama's speech dedicated to Ann Nixon Cooper.
It seems like “escorting” himself from Lady Gaga's Monster Ball Tour only created an outlet for Kid Cudi to find his way into even more drama.
The rapper was arrested Monday in Los Angeles after the Los Angeles Police Department detained him, along some of his associates under suspicion of being suspects to a burglary after leaving a photoshoot taking place on Melrose Ave.
Five patrol cars wound up on the scene to subdue and place Cudi and his friends in cuffs, just to find out that (more...)
Say what you will about Soula Boy; He killed Hip Hop with all the dancing. He dumbed the music down and made substance obsolete with less than mediocre lyrics. The fact that he even considers himself a rapper is a laughing matter.
No matter what darts people have to throw at the young entertainer, the point still stands that he is still in the game and is in the process of releasing his third official album The DeAndre Way.
Set to drop in April, there has been word that the “Crank Dat” hitmaker has tapped the likes of Snoop Dogg and Kanye West to assist him in crafting his upcoming project.
Usually strictly for the dance aspect, after the release of his second album, Soulja Boy made the decision to place more focus on (more...)
The re-installment of his already widely successful project, Relapse: Refill is in stores and Em is donning himself as ‘Shady Claus' in support of the album.
Keeping in character with his ‘Shady Claus' theme, Em's giving true fans a chance to (more...)
In the wake of all the hoopla surrounding the “Gay Rapper” and Asher Roth possibly being the poster boy for the cause and coming out the closet, the Pennsylvania MC has put the brakes on the speculation. Asher released the following statement putting an end to the rumors:
“I hate to disappoint and take away the entertainment of it all but I am straight, not gay. It's disheartening to know such "news" on someone's personal life can be portrayed as fact with no viable source. This, to me, is an opportunity to expose our vulnerability to lies and manipulation through unprofessional and irresponsible news outlets, in which people consider TRUTH. Further, someone's sexual orientation should NEVER be big news, as it delivers a troubling message to children that they can't be themselves without fear of judgment.
Race, creed, and sexual persuasion should not just be tolerated but understood and accepted. It's extremely (more...)
While Percy Miller continues to expand his philanthropic efforts and his son Romeo pursues a rap career, the youngest member of their family is stepping into the limelight.
