Everybody Hates Chris - Courtesy MusicXclusive.com/blog
Last night, Chris Brown received the opportunity to sing the National Anthem at the Mayweather vs. Mosley fight. While Rihanna's Rude Boy single was #1 for a few weeks, poor Chris is still trying to make a comeback after his career suffered a terrible blow following his fight with his then girlfriend, Rihanna. Now personally, I don't know if his PR people should've let him perform ANYWHERE close to a boxing match LMAO. That's just loaded with irony. And if you watched the fight last night, then you know that Chris Brown should train Sugar Shane before his next fight. Sugar Shane was busy swinging at the air but Chris clearly knows how to land those blows lmao.

RIP KEITH ELAM AKA GURU
Their 1998 album Moment of Truth was among their most critically lauded collections and Gang Starr's biggest-selling project to date. Gang Starr's last group project, The Ownerz, was released in 2003.
Guru found solo fame in 1993 when he released the first volume of his Jazzmatazz series, an all-star project that featured a number of collaborations with jazz icons such as Branford Marsalis, Donald Byrd, Roy Ayers and Ronny Jordan, as well as vocals from French producer Solaar and N'Dea Davenport of the Brand New Heavies. The album's mixture of jazz and rap was considered pioneering at the time, and the record spawned the hit "Trust Me." Guru would go on to make four volumes in the series.
Guru wrote his farewell letter while in the hospital, according to Solar. "I, Guru, am writing this letter to my fans, friends and loved ones around the world," it begins. "I have had a long battle with cancer and have succumbed to the disease. I have suffered with this illness for over a year. I have exhausted all medical options.
"I have a non-profit organization called Each One Counts dedicated to carrying on my charitable work on behalf of abused and disadvantaged children from around the world and also to educate and research a cure for this terrible disease that took my life. I write this with tears in my eyes, not of sorrow but of joy for what a wonderful life I have enjoyed and how many great people I have had the pleasure of meeting.
"My loyal best friend, partner and brother, Solar, has been at my side through it all and has been made my health proxy by myself on all matters relating to myself. He has been with me by my side on my many hospital stays, operations, doctors visits and stayed with me at my home and cared for me when I could not care for myself. Solar and his family is my family and I love them dearly and I expect my family, friends, and fans to respect that, regardless to anybody's feelings on the matter. It is my wish that counts. This being said I am survived by the love of my life, my sun KC, who I trust will be looked after by Solar and his family as their own. Any awards or tributes should be accepted, organized approved by Solar on behalf [of] myself and my son until he is of age to except on his own."
Guru very pointedly distanced himself from Premier in the letter, saying he didn't want his former musical collaborator to be able to participate in any tributes or events surrounding his death.
"I do not wish my ex-DJ to have anything to do with my name likeness, events, tributes etc. connected in anyway to my situation including any use of my name or circumstance for any reason and I have instructed my lawyers to enforce this," wrote Guru. "I had nothing to do with him in life for over 7 years and want nothing to do with him in death. Solar has my life story and is well informed on my family situation, as well as the real reason for separating from my ex-DJ.
"As the sole founder of Gang Starr, I am very proud of what Gang Starr has meant to the music world and fans. I equally am proud of my Jazzmatazz series and as the father of Hip-Hop/Jazz. I am most proud of my leadership and pioneering efforts on Jazzmatazz 4 for reinvigorating the Hip-Hop/Jazz genre in a time when music quality has reached an all time low. Solar and I have toured in places that I have never been before with Gang Starr or Jazzmatazz and we gained a reputation for being the best on the planet at Hip-Hop/Jazz, as well as the biggest and most influential Hip-Hop/Jazz record with Jazzmatazz 4 of the decade to now.
"The work I have done with Solar represents a legacy far beyond its time. And we as a team were not afraid to push the envelope. To me this is what true artists do! As men of honor we stood tall in the face of small-mindedness, greed, and ignorance. As we fought for music and integrity at the cost of not earning millions and for this I will always be happy and proud, and would like to thank the million fans who have seen us perform over the years from all over the world. The work I have done with Solar represents a legacy far beyond its time and is my most creative and experimental to date. I hope that our music will receive the attention it deserves as it is some of the best work I have done and represents some of the best years of my life."
At press time, Guru's family — from whom he was reportedly estranged, along with other past associates — had not commented on his death, and last month his nephew Justin Nicholas-Elam Ruff posted several emotional videos on YouTube saying that Solar was preventing them from seeing the MC during his illness.
"Solar has completely cut us off. My family has no way of knowing what is going on with Guru's situation," he said in the video. "Solar has complete control over the flow of information given from the hospital and will not disclose any information to us. The doctors and the hospital staff will not discuss any info with Guru's family." Ruff said in one of the videos that no one in Guru's family had not seen him since February 28, and that he was prevented from seeing Guru when he visited the hospital last month.

K'NAAN AFRICA'S VOICE OF REASON
From K'naan's sophmore LP 'Troubadour' Waving Flag also called the anthem of Africa in 2010 is a beautifully powerful song painting a picture of struggle and faith for a better day. I recommend that you watch this video but to get the true feel for the song please watch the 2nd video which is a live recording from Qtv's Wednesday Live show on Comcast and may also be found on Sirius Satellite Radio, channel 137 at 9am, 3pm and 11pm (EST).
Open your ears, your eyes & your heart!!!
The lyrics for "Waving FLag" also accompany this entry.
PLEASE ENJOY!!!!
Waving Flag (Album Version)
Via WorldStarHipHop.com
Following piece is from K'naan Wikipedia page.
Critics have said K'naan has "a sound that fuses Bob Marley, conscious American hip hop, and brilliant protest poetry."[7] His voice and style have been compared to Eminem,[6] but his subject matter is very different; according to K'naan, he makes "urgent music with a message", talking about the situation in his homeland of Somalia and calling for an end to violence and bloodshed. He specifically tries to avoid gangsta rap clichés and posturing,[17] saying:
| “ | All Somalis know that gangsterism isn't to brag about. The kids that I was growing up with [in Rexdale] would wear baggy [track] suit pants, and a little jacket from Zellers or something, and they'd walk into school, and all the cool kids would be like, 'Ah, man, look at these Somalis. Yo, you're a punk!' And the other kid won't say nothing, but that kid, probably, has killed fifteen people. | ” |
This statement was made to explain his position on the world of difference which exists between where he grew up, and the ghettos of the first world.[18]. Nonetheless, K'naan denies that he is overtly political, instead explaining that he "[shows] the state of the world [and] if you call it like it is you're being political."[19]. His own opinion of his music is that it's a "mix of tradition and [a] kind of articulation of my own life and [..] my past experiences."[19]
K'naan has said that he is influenced by Somali music and the traditional instruments of Somalia.[20] His most recent album, Troubadour, also draws heavily from Ethiopian sources, particularly Ethio-Jazz by Alemayehu Eshete and Tilahun Gessesse.

LYRICS TO WAVING FLAG
when I get older, I will be stronger, they'll call me freedom, just like a wavin flag,
Born to a throne, stronger than rome, but violent prone, poor people zone
but its my home, all I have known, where I got grown, streets we would roam
Out of the Darkness, I came the farthest, among the hardest, survival
learn form these streets, It can be bleak, accept no defeat, surrender retreat
(so we struggling), Fighting to eat, (and we wondering), when we will be free
so we patiently wait, for that faithful day, its not far away, but for now we say
when I get older, I will be stronger, they'll call me freedom, just Like a waving flag, and then it goes back (3x)ahhho ahhho ahhho
so many wars, settling scores, bringing us promises, leaving us poor,
I heard them say, love is the way, Love is the answer, thats what they say,
but look how they treat us, make us believers,we fight there Battles,
then they deceive us, try to control us, they could'nt hold us,
cause we just move forward, like buffalo soldiers,
(but we struggling), Fighting to eat, (and we wondering), when we will be free
so we wait patiently wait, for that faithfully day, its not far away,but for now we say
when I get older, I will be stronger, they'll call me freedom, Just like a waving flag and then it goes back (3x) and then it goes when I get older, I will be stronger, they'll call me freedom, Just like a waving flag and then it goes back (3x) ahhhooo ahhhoooo ahhhooo
And everybody will be singing it and you and i will be singing it and we all will be singing it wah wo wo wo ah ah
when I get older I will be stronger they'll call me freedom just like a flag waving and then it goes back (3x)
and then it goes
when I get older I will be stronger they'll call me freedom just like a flag waving and then it goes back (3x)
a oh a oh a oh
when I get older say when I get older when I get older when I get older Just like a waving flag just like a waving flag just a waving flag flag flag.. Just like a waving flag...
