A ban on hip-hop? The attorney general for the states of Kansas and Indiana say yes. As part of a 2002 settlement by major record labels, 40 states are receiving free CDs to be made available at such places as state libraries. The attorney general’s say such music as The Notorious BIG and Outkast are object able music that could be seen as promoting violence or offensive behavior. Thirty five out of the thousand catalog CD selections have been rejected.
50 Cent’s making his way to cartoons as he make’s his first guest appearance on “The Simpson’s”. The show will air during the upcoming 16th season for the show and 50 will appear on an episode titled “Pranksta Rap”. No airdate has been released yet.
I have got to give it up to the Kanye West/Usher Truth Tour. I had a chance to catch the two last Friday and was truly blown away by the performances that both Kanye and Usher did. Performing alongside his artists Consequence, GLC and John Legend ( who is going to be the next big thing!) kept the crowd moving as he performed songs from “the College Dropout” and one’s he made guest appearances on. And for his finally he didn’t leave the crowd waiting as he broke out into “Jesus Walks”. If you have tickets your in for a great show!
