Today marks what would have been the 63rd birthday of Freedom Fighter Fred Hampton.
Hampton was a Deputy Chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party (BPP).
He was executed during the pre-dawn hours of December 4th 1969, as he lay resting in bed unarmed in his apartment, by a goon-squad of kaucasian killer kops from the tactical unit of the Cook County, Illinois State's Attorney's Office (SAO), in conjunction with the Chicago Police Department (CPD) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
He was just 21 years of age. Hampton's death was chronicled in the 1971 documentary film The Murder of Fred Hampton, as well as an episode of the critically acclaimed documentary series Eyes on the Prize.

BustaRhymes and DJ Khaled were two more Hip-Hop celebrities attending the BMI Urban Awards over the weekend.
Adding his thoughts on Snoop's career, Busta says:
"Snoop has come a long way, however ain't proud of what he's has done, they differently ain't in their right mind state."
DJ Khaled also added his thoughts on hip-hop artists sticking together in the industry:
"It's important because it's what's going to make us last long and it brings a good message to the youth. Because at the end of the day, we gotta remember we have a lot of people that look up to us."
Dawn Richards was also on hand for this year's BMI awards where she spoke on her Diddy-Dirty Money counterparts and her six years strong under Bad Boy Records.
According to this ex-Danity Cane songstress, she's embarking on a solo career and plans to give fans what they've been missing.
"It's going to be R&B, I'm going back into progressive R&B. It's gonna be hard though, it's gonna knock. It's gonna have that same urgency as Last Train To Paris but more R&B and less Hip-Hop."
After checking in with Dawn we also spotted rapper Diamond who shared what she liked most about the night's honoree, Snoop Dogg.
"Besides him making weed such a wonderful thing in an easy cool player way, I always liked the way he did his hair with the pony tails and the curls."
