			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first celebration of the life and legacy for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for the new decade will be like none other before it, as media stars and intellectual titans alike are geared to pay homage to a man who helped change a nation.</p>
<p>Famed professor, lecturer, author, and intellectual, Dr. Cornel West, will be headlining an event that is set to take place on January 18th.  January 15th marks the anniversary of what would have been the 81st birthday of the slain Civil Rights leader.</p>
<p>West will be making the keynote address at Atlanta's famed Ebenezer Baptist Church, the iconic house of prayer that King preached at from 1960 until his assassination in 1968.</p>
<p>Legendary musician and producer Quincy Jones will take part in separate festivities, serving as an honoree for the annual “Salute to Greatness” dinner hosted by the Martin Luther King Center, located at downtown Atlanta.</p>
<p>That particular event is scheduled for January 16th.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While Young Jeezy continues to feed the streets with music in preparation for his upcoming fourth studio album <em>Thug Motivation103,</em> the rapper also remembers to give back to his side outside of the music aspect.</p>
<p>Alongside his Street Dreamz Foundation, Jeezy left the kids with quite a treat as he brought them to Justin's Restaurant in Atlanta on Sunday night.  There, the underprivileged youth were also presented with gifts to help usher in Christmas.</p>
<p>Coming from lifestyles with families that learned to live without, Jeezy, along with members of the foundation, found it necessary to play the big brother role and help to ensure that the children are directed in the right path and make life a little bit easier knowing that someone is aware of their struggle.</p>
<p>Watch the footage of the event here:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><strong><span style='text-align:left;display:block;'><p><object type='application/x-shockwave-flash' data='http://s2.wp.com/wp-content/plugins/audio-player/player.swf' width='290' height='24' id='audioplayer1'><param name='movie' value='http://s2.wp.com/wp-content/plugins/audio-player/player.swf' /><param name='FlashVars' value='&amp;bg=0xf8f8f8&amp;leftbg=0xeeeeee&amp;lefticon=0x666666&amp;rightbg=0xcccccc&amp;rightbghover=0x999999&amp;righticon=0x666666&amp;righticonhover=0xffffff&amp;text=0x666666&amp;slider=0x666666&amp;track=0xFFFFFF&amp;border=0x666666&amp;loader=0x9FFFB8&amp;soundFile=http%3A%2F%2Fhiphopwired.wordpress.com%2Ffiles%2F2009%2F12%2Finterview_guccimane.mp3' /><param name='quality' value='high' /><param name='menu' value='false' /><param name='bgcolor' value='#FFFFFF' /><param name='wmode' value='opaque' /></object></p></span></strong></p>
<p><strong>“I also recorded a CD to be released right before I come out called <em>The Appeal of the State vs. Radric Davis.  </em>I had to leave my fans with something because they've been supporting me through the tribulations and trials I've been going through in my life.”</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Although down, Gucci Mane is never out of the game.  Fresh off the release of <em>The State vs. Radric Davis, </em>Gucci is already making his next moves once he steps outside of the prison walls.</p>
<p>Appropriately titled <em>The Appeal</em>, the next album from the rising rapper is set to be released once<span id="more-20011"></span> he is released from his current bid. </p>
<p>The buzz must have fed his ego with two CDs already waiting for the world.</p>
<p>While behind the prison walls, La Flare was able to speak on Big Boy's Neighborhood and give some more detail on the story behind his latest album. </p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“I'm a very hard worker and I always try to outwork every artist in the industry.  With that being said, I recorded so much music and did so many collaborations.  I recorded two CDs before I even went to jail.  I already got an album that came out December 8, <em>The State vs. Radric Davis</em> and it's doing exceptionally well and it details all that I've been going through with the legal system.”</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>With the beef officially dead between Gucci and Young Jeezy, the rapper elaborated on the need for the two to put their differences behind them and the fact that it was much bigger than them.  Both residing in Atlanta and having such a strong following, they had to play as role models to make sure their problems didn't spill out to affect those that support them.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“Before the interview had came out, we had collaborated.  Before the interview came out, we had been talking and came to a mutual agreement to co-exist with each other.  The city ain't but so big and both of us got so many people that run up under us that it's kinda selfish to say that we traveling the world and making all this money and people in our crew are on the front lines.  I know with me personally, I didn't want that on my hands so I did it for me as well my team.”</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>The two collaborated before for the track “So Icey”, and Gucci assured fans to look out for more with one already dropping recently.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“We already collaborated on two songs.  One is already out and one is debuting in a couple of weeks.”</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Gucci Mane is taking his time away in stride and not looking at things as the end, but as a brief intermission before he can start the show up once again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spectators and speculators of Atlanta's politically brutal mayoral races knew that runner-up Mary Norwood would not go quietly into the night after suffering the bitter taste of defeat. But now the former city councilwoman has no choice but to ride peacefully into the night after losing to her younger, better suited opponent, Kasim Reed, in an official runoff recount.</p>
<p>The former state senator bested his worthy adversary by a 714 votes, a slim margin but enough to secure his position as the 49th mayor of the Capital of the South.</p>
<p>Under Georgia law, a recount can be guaranteed at the behest of anyone involved in the electoral process when the margin of victory is less that 1% of the total vote.</p>
<p>84,000 votes were placed in all.</p>
<p>Congrats Mr. Mayor!!!</p>
<p>Now please bring Freaknik back?!?!?!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A racially charged campaign between young, former Georgia State Senator Kasim Reed and Mary Norwood has ended. Reed has captured a majority of the vote and is, in all likelihood, Atlanta's 59<sup>th</sup> mayor.</p>
<p>The Era of Black mayors in the Capital of the South continues!</p>
<p>In a statement made to the press and supporters during the wee hours of the morning, Reed declared himself the victor after officials from Fulton County assured him of vote totals, which placed the State Senator over the former City Councilwoman by 758 votes.</p>
<p>Fortunately for Norwood, that amount is not over the 1% margin needed to bypass a recount, and she is expected to take advantage of that fact in a last ditch effort to steal a victory.</p>
<p>Nearly 560 provisional ballots have yet to be counted, and though there may be many that would favor Norwood, the amount is not enough to propel her past Reed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Clayton County's School system is no stranger to scandal, especially with their latest jaunt into lunacy, proving that the ignorance that landed the sub-par school system into hot water only one year ago, is here to stay.</p>
<p>In their most recent foray into the ridiculous, county leaders within the school system are investigating allegations that a teacher actually attempted to have a student “hit,” murdered in exchange for money, by another student.</p>
<p>Randolph Forde, a math teacher at Mundy's Mill High School, was put on administrative leave, a result of the investigation and of several other inappropriate action taken against one particular student.</p>
<p>“ The teacher threatened to hit him in his f*cking mouth,” said Terrence Madden, lawyer for the student involved in the incident while speaking on one of Forde's threats.</p>
<p>County records show that Forde, who also questioned the 16-year-old teen's sexuality by asking if he was gay, was arrested last month on charges that say he made terrorist threats. His bond was posted at the price of $10,000.</p>
<p>Parents of the teen are asking that the special education teacher be terminated; his future as an educator lays in the hands of Clayton County's School Board.</p>
