Kevin Gates"So Slow" ft. G- Sharp ?uestlove informed you about this episode from "The Cosby Show" in his recent interview with Nardwuar. In this scene, Stevie Wonder greets the Huxtables as they enter his recording session. The invitation to the studio came about after Stevie's car accident with Denise. So being the researchers that we are, here's the clip from "The Cosby Show" which ?uestlove was referring to in his interview with Nardwuar.  In this exclusive in-depth interview conducted by HardKnockTV, Scarface talks to Nick Huff Barili about the current state of Hip Hop and that he loves Kendrick Lamar but that older white executives that are in control of Hip Hop are not in touch with the streets and don't care about the culture. Scarface goes on to say that he thinks its a conspiracy to make black people look stupid and brainwash a generation of hip hoppers with "this crud". Scarface's advice to upcoming artists is to uphold the integrity of the craft and not to let the executives dictate our culture. Scarface also talks about touring and recording with Tupac in this interview as well. Watch the interview below...  CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO READ ABOUT THE YOUNG MEN NOW Here's a short documentary that focus on the racial tensions that arose in Jena, Louisiana back in 2006 following an altercation between black and white teens at Jena High School. The way the situation was handled by the authorities sparked national outrage and caused thousands to descend on the small town in search of justice. The 6 black students came to be known as "The Jena 6". Watch the documentary below... "An Injustice Anywhere Is A Threat To Justice Everywhere" Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  Directed by: the White Buffalo Cinematography by: Aaron Shapiro & Reno Ca$h Edited by: Adam Leeman Album: Mick Boogie Presents: Mixtape Before Blvck Swan Theory by Yonas Michael  In 1989, five black and latino teenagers from Harlem were arrested and later convicted of raping a white woman in New York City’s Central Park. They spent between 6 and 13 years in prison before a serial rapist confessed that he alone had committed the crime, leading to their convictions being overturned. "The Central Park Five" tells the story of that horrific crime, the rush to judgment by the police, a media clamoring for sensational stories and an outraged public, and the five lives upended by this miscarriage of justice. "The Central Park Five" premiered April 16, 2013 on PBS. PBS will be re airing "The Central Park Five" this Friday at 8 am EST. So set your DVR to record. A special thanks goes out to Ken Burns, David McMahon & Sarah Burns for creating a must see documentary.  We've been capturing @Owuorobi since his Black Stax "Talking Buildings" days! So hence the title of the post. Owuor or "O" as many people refer to him as, has now teamed up with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis on the multi platinum selling LP "The Heist". We would like to send a shout out to Black Stax, "O" and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis for sharing and displaying this art. We thank you! We would also like to thank Kirkland "Mr. Ripley" Randall for being a "maestro" behind the lens. Gone but never forgotten my brother! Here's "I Love My Life" and "Can't Hold Us" both of which features Owuor Arunga.  "The Crown Holder..." "The Emperor..."
