Is Chuck Philips Obsessed!?

Chuck Philips, long time LA Times writer and Biggie/Tupac enthusiast, recently released a new article adding all types of twists and turns to the Biggie and Tupac story. In his newest article he claims that Diddy and Jimmy Henchman played roles in or knew of the attack on Tupac at the Quad Studios in '94. In response to his controversial claims Chucky has come under fire for not citing the sources of this information as well as its delayed release.

My question is this...if Pac is dead, which I believe he is (although some still disagree), how much does this new "development" matter now? Hopefully that doesn't sound insensitive. But unless this ties somehow to Pac or Biggie's murders and will assist is finding their assailants - what's the point? Other than driving traffic to latimes.com, I don't see the purpose. And for that reason I won't link the article - but I'm a sure a quick search will help you stumble on Chuck's piece...pause!

The Soulful Rebellion...

So I've been slacking crazy on this blog thing and forgot to post/promote my showcase "The Soulful Rebellion" which went down last night in NYC. Either way it went down crazy. Had a good turnout, good music, great artists. The next one is April 25, 2008!

Duke Fan Stan by Peter Rosenberg

Featuring my artist Tiara Wiles on the hook, lol. Hilarious.

Talib Kweli: Hostile Gospel/Deliver Us Pt. 1

"Kudos To Isiah"

In light of all the hoopla about Marbury and the Knicks...thought I'd do a quick flashback to last summer, end of June or beginning of July when we landed then Blazer Zach Randolph. Damn we had hope...and damn Marbury was high as shit!

Hip-Hop's Birthplace Saved

1520 Sedgwick Ave in The Bronx, New York, the birthplace of Hip-Hop was saved today. The 100-unit apartment building was deemed eligible to be listed on national and state registers of historic sites and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development rejected the proposed sale of the building to developer Mark Karasick because current rents could not have been sustained.

I know this may not seem important to many right now, but it is. Hip-Hop, as controversial as it may be, is truly one of the greatest artistic and cultural accomplishments of African Americans and to be able to trace as well as preserve it's roots is invaluable.

Congrats Kool Herc!

PS...Look out for Kool Herc to drop by my show in the coming weeks!

Instant Classic

Next week Wednesday at the legendary Kinitting Factory in NYC we begin our new Monthly event "Instant Classic" featuring Peter Rosenberg and Uncle Ralph...

Rosenberg Does Rita G

As promised...here is the Peter Rosenberg x Rita G interview we did on 2/21/08 at The Knitting Factory in NYC. I know this is late but I'm kinda proud of this shit. This went from an idea in my head at 3pm that day to a live video shoot by 10pm. And as the creator and producer of this raunchy clip I'm also proud of the over 15,000 views we've gotten in a week. I guess y'all love it...don't front...: )

PR Was Good To Me...

You're boy's back, PR was good to me, Embassy Suites held me down (free whip)...now let's get back to biz!!
