RIP to the big homie… Jan15, 1929 – April4th, 1968…
Here are 10 facts you might not know about Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963.

1) The speech is known as “I Have a Dream” but those words were never in the original draft, they were ad libbed on the day.

2) It lasts 17 minutes and is widely considered to have been drafted in New York and then in Washington in the hours before the rally.

3) As a result of the speech, Dr King was named Man of the Year by Time Magazine in 1963, and won the Nobel Peace Prize the following year.

Nas on Derrion Albert w/ CNN’s Don Lemon

Posted in Black Culture, Pop Culture with tags , , , , , , on October 6, 2009 by HaZiQ aLi

Two things are sorta striking to me here:
1) The weird smirk he has on the whole time.. the whole time, and
2) With due respect to whoever posted this originally, he does not sound brilliant here, he sounds like an idiot. Not Cam’ron-on-60minutes-stupid, no, but that “being-a-rapper-is-the-one-place-you-get-power-with-NO-responsibility” argument is sooooo lame nowadays… and Nas knows this if noone else does.. thats probably why he’s holding back laughter- that and the fact they start with a clip from one of the wackest- and least reresentative- songs of his career…

Whatever tho- guess he WAS better than some of the others they couldve had as reps for hiphop on this nat’l platform… What do you think? How did he do here?

The 50th Law: Fiddy hits CNBC w/ author Robert Greene

Posted in Black Culture, Business, For Entreprenuers Only, MusicBusinessJewels with tags , , , , , on September 9, 2009 by HaZiQ aLi
Was hoping the 49th law was "put your album out" but apparently not..

I just decided. Im going to start reviewing books on here too man, I’m a big fan of 48 laws of power, 33 strategies of war, etc. The author/historian behind these is also the writer behind this one… Robert Greene. Here’s the interview with both of them-when it comes to 50 it seems like they literally wanna say “he speaks so well”..
The other thing inotice is when he had to mention jay z he did it with shawn carter,his govt name… NO shine for NOBODY u aint eatin wit’ on your watch eh,50? :-$

MJ worth $100million MORE than he owed?

Best to ever do it.....

Best to ever do it.....

My fave quote from the following article…. “the singer bought the catalog in 1985 for $47.5 million. In the early 2000s, he borrowed $300 million against the catalog.” (these publishin co investments means MJ’s estate controls everything from Destiny’s Child songs to Ray Charles to yeeess..Elvis…

my second references what they call his “legendary” impulse buying habit.. I mean what? A man cant buy himself a full circus? What’s the problem?

Quincy Jones: Heartless or Real?

Posted in Black Culture, Pop Culture with tags , on July 2, 2009 by HaZiQ aLi
MJ, Quincy, and some dude i cant remember...

MJ, Quincy, and some dude i cant remember...

We all know Quincy Jones. He produced pretty much every record you REally know from the King of POP (rip). I mean he not only did “Thriller”, he did “We Are The World” which probably sold like 70million (& no they did NOT give the publishing checks to AfriCare or USaid LMAO) before it was done..

He’s being called irreverent, heartless, callous, unfeeling and every other adjective under the sun except ‘hurt’.
I wholeheartedly disagree that he was being mean. I guess i can just tell the difference (like i said yesterday lol) between a yes-man and a true friend who’s doesnt need him for anything, isnt jealous of him, doesnt secretly want him to fail, and is in fact disgusted with the level his friend allowed himself to sink to. Plus, to be honest, last time i met Mr Jones he seemed old enough to not give a warm muthaf%$# what u may think..

What do you think though? Click here-for one helluva interview- was this hate or love?

Here’s Mike & Lionel Richie accepting that “We Are The World” acclaim… Plus Mike CRUSHIN the Grammy stage…

Joe Jackson JUS mite be a demon….

Posted in Black Culture, Pop Culture with tags , , , on June 30, 2009 by HaZiQ aLi

Look at his eyes, those white teeth- who else has teeth like that besides demons?
LOL and seriously, can u seem a LITTLE down-in-the-dumps dude? Do you have to seem like a dude who playin it cool cuz he just hit the lotto? And when they ask if you have anything else you’d like to say to the people all across the world that look at you as the patriarch for this pop-culture dynasty- which has just lost an irreperable peice of its soul- can u WAIT a sec before you plug your new record label?

Also, Michael Jackson’s body is being viewed Friday.. click HERE…&start camping out now if yr on the West Coast…

Elise Tan Roberts: 2year-old MENSA-certified Genius.

Posted in Black Culture, Entertainment, Pop Culture with tags , , , on May 12, 2009 by HaZiQ aLi

You’ll love this… She’s 2 years old and has already made it into MENSA (the prestigious society for those in the world with the very highest IQ’s). What I thought was most intriguing was the researcher’s assertion that while this child is special… she’s not rare. How ill is that? And what does society do to these geniuses that makes it so it’s so rare that one of us show ourselves? Are you ready to show yourself? I am.
