from sohh.com..Bill O'Reilly obsesses over Ludacris after Luda pokes fun at him at the Grammys
Bill O'Reilly stabs at Luda, claims "rap destroyed music." In case some of you missed it, Ludacris shouted out Bill O'Reilly and Oprah Winfrey when picking up two of his Grammys this past weekend. Good old Bill apparently didn't appreciate the love and took it as an opportunity to take more shots at the Ludameister. After reporting on Luda winning a Grammy for Best Rap Album, O'Reilly immediately ... read on »
Another white politician gets foot-in-mouth disease again as Sen Joe Biden called Presidential hopeful Barak Obama "clean" and "articulate" In fact, he said Obama was the first African American candidate who WASN'T inarticulate. Whaaaaa?
I have to say I feel Obama's pain. If one more older person white or black tells me after a speech, interview, or presentation that I "speak so well" or "You're SO articulate" or the infamous "I didn't know you were sooo intelligent" I'm gonna scream! I've ... read on »
From Allhiphop.com. Tell me what you guys think...
The current image of rap music and rap music videos is cause for concern among Black youth, according to the Black Youth Project, a survey spearheaded under the direction of Dr. Cathy Cohen of the University of Chicago.
The survey involved 1590 Black, White and Hispanic young people ages 15-25 from around the country.
Survey findings released yesterday (Feb. 1) reveal that 72 percent of Black youth agree rap videos contain too many ... read on »
Make sure you guys tune again to yet another action packed edition of the Kim Wade Show..I want to hear from more JFP bloggers(if you're able). Tune in 1180am and simulcast on 103.3fm @ 5:30. The number is 601 366 1180. We want to hear from YOU! I think Im going to go off about this "ex-con" issue today
Sagging may be the norm in the world of rap, but the trend may see an early end if some residents of a small southwest Georgia town have their way.
The Associated Press reports that people in Plains, GA., are up at arms over seeing the underwear of young people who are wearing their pants and shorts low.
So much so that members of the Plains City Council plan on asking the town's attorney to look into whether they have the authority to regulate sagging.
Plains is best known as the ... read on »
My love and blessings go out to everyone who came out last night to the "Best Of" Party at Voodoo. It surpassed even my expectations. I was impressed with the love that JFP has out in these mean streets of Jacktown and eqaully humbled at how much love some of you have for your favorite neighborhood rapper:-)
Thank You to everyone who voted for me as their choice for best Hip-Hop artist and even more thanks to those that finally got to see me in person and voiced their support. In the words ... read on »
Ive sat back and watched with eager anticipation the Obama love-fest that has been going on lately. I must say Im pleasantly surprised..proud even..that an African American has risen to such heights. To be bandied about in the press...in a good way...is refreshing. Im currently reading his book "The Audacity of Hope" and have found it captivating. This after having just finished the book "Leadership" by Rudy Guliani just days before. And I found one thing to be true. When you vote person or ... read on »
We'll be back at it again THIS THURS and FRI at 5pm on the Kim Wade show (WJNT 1180AM/103.3FM) Been getting some great responses and I hope th JFP bloggers will tune and voice some opinions(on the site and on the show) The broadcast can now be heard (a lot clearer too I might add) on FM 103.3 at 5 p.m. each day along with its usual 1180AM spot!
I dunno folks. Ive become preeety apathtic lately and indifference has crept in. I think that if we as good citizens are to actually get something accomplished we can pretty much NOT count on elected officials for the good example of leadership that we look to to guide us.
Ive wondered recently...are these guys just corrupt to the core or are they just incompetent? Or both? I know one thing these "grown" folks are grade A embarassing! And this town needs an enema!!!! City Council holding ... read on »
