Eminem celebrates his birthday. Rumor on the street is Slim Shady is working on a new album.
Today rapper Slim Shady celebrates his birthday. The word on the street is that Marshall Bruce Mathers III, known as Eminem is working on a new album and its coming out this year.
The album titled ROOTS is coming and I anticipate that Em will drop a bomb on 'em.
The rumors have been spreading across the internet. Em is teaming up with his longtime producer Dr. Dre to release a 12 track album with features from Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar and Skylar Gray.
The rumored album isn't leaking. Eminem signed a deal with APPLE Music and it's top secret.
Eminem is the founder of Shady Records. The label is home to Yelawolf, D12, and the Slaughterhouse.
Slaughterhouse is a rap group that features Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz, Kxng Crooked (formerly known as Crooked I) and Royce Da 5'9".
Eminem is a signed act to Aftermath Entertainment.
Conservative outrage over the Obamas invited rappers to the White House. Rick Ross came to the White House this year and conservatives are screaming that his lyrics promotes date rape. They are trying to scapegoat Rozay for Donald Trump's offensive remarks about women.
The conservatives continue to blame the entertainment industry for Donald Trump's offensive remarks caught on tape.
Conservatives are now once again targeting hip-hop music for its lyrics. They call the Obamas, a bunch of hypocrites.
Why?
Because they let pop singer Beyonce and rappers like Jay-Z, Macklemore, Common, Busta Rhymes, Kendrick Lamar, Nicki Minaj and Rick Ross to the White House.
They claim that rappers say far worse than Donald Trump.
Here's a newsflash for the hang wringers!
Trump is running for president, not Snoop Dogg or Jay-Z.
The conservative outrage reflects on Rick Ross. Back in 2013, Rick Ross rapped on Rocko's UNENO. His lyrics, "Put that molly in her champagne, she ain't know it. I took her back and enjoyed that, she ain't know it." was controversial. It was advocating date rape.
First Lady Michelle Obama invited Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel to the White House. Lin-Manuel is a rapper/Broadway actor/producer and in demand entertainer.
Ross was scrutinized by the junk food media for this. He lost deal with Reebok and Pepsi after this lyrics came to light.
Conservatives are saying that junk food media ignored the Obamas inviting rappers to the White House. Rappers who sing about guns, bitches, money and drugs.
Did you know that the Obamas invited military, police officers, families of gun crimes, people who had medical issues, supercentenarians, the Bushes, the Reagans, country singers, athletes, poets, and offer tours to Americans!
So according to conservatives, rappers aren't entitled an invitation to the White House.
Conservatives believe that rappers should be in jail or in the morgue.
Rick Ross is just as American as Bill O'Reilly. He deserves a right to visit the White House.
Yeah, his lyrics are terrible. But that's why the Parental Advisory label is slapped on their albums.
You have to be at least 18 years old or older to purchase a parental advisory album.
Laura Ingraham mocked for an alleged Nazi hand salute.
And you have the right to change the radio channel, skip the song or boycott the entertainer if the lyrics go too far. Rappers know the risk of being too "extreme". Or do they?
Epic Records signed William Roberts III to the label in January. Roberts, who is known by the junk food media as Rick Ross, left Def Jam Records after 12 years on the label. Ross (known as Rozay/Yung Renzel) was signed to Slip-N-Slide for a portion of his time on Def Jam as well.
Now that he's fulfilled he obligations with the labels, he left them to join Epic.
Epic's hip-hop roster now has Sean "Puffy" Combs and his Bad Boy label, Future, Mariah Carey, Yo Gotti, and French Montana. It's headed by business mogul and singer L.A. Reid.
Rozay's label Maybach Music Group is affiliated with Def Jam, Atlantic and Epic Records.
Reid, along with Busta Rhymes, DJ Khaled, Nicki Minaj, Wale and J. Cole joined Rozay at the White House this year for the My Brother's Keeper project.
The biggest voice on the right mad that First Lady Michelle Obama slammed Trump and him.
Conservatives misinformed their supporters about President Barack Obama constantly. They claim Obama doesn't pay attention to issues in the Black community. This often comes up whenever #BlackLivesMatter address another fatal shooting of an unarmed Black person.
My Brother's Keeper is an initiative to help every boy and young man of color who is willing to do the hard work to get ahead. It's well documented, but often ignored by the junk food media.
The president addresses these issues but it doesn't get "shock value". It's actually a conservative idea said by a somewhat liberal president.
Reid motivated Rozay to get his act together.
Now he rocking an ankle bracelet for assault and kidnapping. It was said that he was embarrassed by the ankle bracelet going off at the White House.
Trump campaign office was firebombed. FBI investigates.
The FBI and state authorities are investigating an incident at a local Republican office in North Carolina. There was a firebombing at the Orange County Republican headquarters in Hillsborough, a town that's about 40 miles northwest of Raleigh.
The bombing of a Donald Trump office has conservatives up in arms. Could it be liberal terrorism?
There was flammable material in the vicinity of the office. It was also damaged with graffiti.
A spray painted swastika was found on the windows and walls of the facility.
A local business owner who discovered the damage found words like "NAZI Republicans leave town or Else."
Dallas Woodhouse, the executive director for the North Carolina GOP said that the office is a total loss. "This is an attack. It's an utter act of political terrorism".
"The important thing is nobody was killed. People could have been killed," he said. "This is a horrifying situation. When you think you have volunteers and offices all across the state, in all kinds of place,s and these kind of acts are intended to intimidate, and they are intended to terrorize."
Didn't take long before Donald Trump and the conservative agitators started the blame game.
Animals representing Hillary Clinton and Dems in North Carolina just firebombed our office in Orange County because we are winning @NCGOP
The North Carolina Republicans put aside the partisanship to thank Clinton for her thoughts and prayers.
Know that I seen this story before. I remember Ashley Todd. The white female who was allegedly mugged in Pittsburgh by a Black guy. She got her face carved with a backwards B after he saw she was a supporter of John Mccain and Sarah Palin. It turned out that she deliberately harmed herself, filed a police report and got media attention.
I don't want to assume this act of terrorism is staged.
But given how desperate Republicans are, I wouldn't be surprised.
That's why it's not my place to blame on Republicans or Democrats. I place the blame solely on the individuals involved.
When Haitian American rapper/singer Wyclef Jean said to the junk food media he envisions rapper Young Thug as Tupac Shakur, I was totally shocked. I am surprised that the Atlanta rapper was given the mantle of being associated with 'Pac.
Young Thug is a rising talent, no question. He's affiliated with the domestic terrorist group The Bloods.
He's made his big break by releasing the hit singles "Stoner", "Danny Glover" and "Loaded" off the mixtape titled Stoner. He collaborates with Gucci Mane, Future, T.I., Young Dolph, Usher and Rae Sremmurd. He's an in demand rapper.
But he's no Tupac...
NOPE. NADA. NO WAY.
Young Thug's mixtape Jeffery is out and the rapper wanted to get a reggae influence. Jean appears on the album's final song. Speaking to Pigeons & Planes, the 46-year old rapper says he's found new respect for Thugger.
The rapper will appear on Wyclef Jean's album J'ouvert.
Thugger shows some love to the Haitians. Thugger named his child after the impoverished country.
"Sometimes you don't realize who you are affecting," explained Wyclef. "But he's from a project, I'm from a similar background. And he has natural love for Haiti, understanding the history of Haiti. Haiti is the first Black republic. He reminds me of a modern Tupac, in a sense---- in a revolutionary sense."
That drew a lot of attention.
People were pissed that a former rival of the late rapper would dare compare a newcomer to a complex but prolific rapper such as Tupac Shakur.
Any thoughts to the matter?
Does Young Thug have 'Pac in him?
Mind you that rapper Ja Rule was roundly mocked by 50 Cent and Eminem for trying to create himself as the legendary rapper.

Edina Police face controversy after its officer manhandles a man for allegedly jaywalking.
The reasons why Colin Kaepernick for not standing for the national anthem. The police brutal treatment of people of color. These incidents create tension between #BlackLivesMatter and those in law enforcement.
The Huffington Post reports that a viral video circulated online featuring a suburban Minneapolis police officer brutally taking down a jaywalker.
In the seven minute video, the man is first seen arguing with an Edina police officer. The officer holds the back of the jacket of the man in an apparent attempt to prevent him from running.
"You're walking down the middle of the street," the officer says in the video, as he appears to forcefully pulls the man towards the center lane and around a parked car.
"I'm on the damn white line!" the man yells. "You can't just put your hands on me like that!"
The woman filming this incident is trying to calm the situation by saying that to the officer that he should help him find a place where to walk.
"He's scared, sir. It's scary," the woman calls out during the event. "It's because he's Black," she adds, in a lower voice. The woman who filmed it is Janet Rowles. She hired an attorney.
The police defend the officer's actions. The city confirms that the one of the sidewalks was closed and the video caught the tail end.
The statement said that the man had been walking in the roadway shortly before recording started.
When the officer turned his lights on and hit the signal, the man wearing headphones turned an acknowledged the officer. The officer claimed that he ignored command.
The man was arrested and cited for disorderly conduct and failure to obey traffic signal. He was freed after posting bail.
The NAACP is calling for a full investigation for the incident. They believe that the officer's action were dehumanizing and degrading.
"Watching that video and seeing a Black man being manhandled and emasculated by Edina Police was not only painful and humiliating, it was a vivid reminder that Blacks are still too-often seen as second class citizen in the State of Minnesota and in this nation," said Nekima Levy-Pounds, the local president of the Minneapolis NAACP.
"There's was absolutely no reason for the officer to stop him from walking. I easily passed him in my vehicle because he was hugging the right side next to construction, literally walking on the white line that marks the shoulder," Levy-Pounds said in a statement.
Edina Police didn't have any comments at this time.
This comes as no surprise but Minneapolis-St. Paul was dealing with the fatal police shootings of Jamar Clark and Philando Castile. They were unarmed at the time and the police shot them on sight.
Three dangerous terrorists are off the streets. They wanted to attack a Kansas town because it has immigrants and Muslims.
Federal prosecutors plan to announce charges related to a planned attack on the Somali immigrant community in Kansas, the AP reports. A law enforcement official said Friday that federal prosecutors in Wichita, Kansas, are announcing the arrests of three men in connection with the plot. The official was not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation by name and spoke on condition of anonymity. Acting US Attorney Tom Beal and FBI Special Agent Eric Jackson have scheduled a news conference late Friday in Wichita. The Justice Department's National Security Division created a new position a year ago to help coordinate investigations into violent homegrown extremism, like the one that resulted in the three arrests.
Countless people showed up to listen to Garden City Police Michael Utz explain the investigation about the planned attack.
A translator helped Somali community members address their concerns, but they were assured there is no longer any reason to be scared.
"I didn't sleep very well, but today when I saw the police and heard the police, all the people in the community coming here, I was feeling very, very happy," said Frah Farah, a community member. "I will sleep very well tonight."
Garden City Police say community members can help the community safe by reporting any suspicious activity.
Acting U.S. Attorney Tom Beall says Curtis Allen, 49, Gavin Wright, 51, and Patrick Stein were all charged with domestic terrorism.
Beall said the three were planning to bomb an apartment complex and mosque in Garden City occupied by a Muslim community of about 120 Somali refugees.
Beall said the men planned to carry out the attack on Nov. 9, the day after Election Day.
He said the men stockpiled a large cache of firearms, and ammunition.
Beall said the men planned to park vehicles full of explosives at all four corners of the Garden City apartment complex. The men said they wanted to "wake people up".
Beall said the men wrote a manifesto, which they wanted published after the bombing.
According to an affidavit, the were a part of a group called the Kansas Security Force and the Crusaders.
"These are militia groups whose members support and espouse sovereign citizen, anti-government, anti-Muslim, and anti-immigrant extremist beliefs," read the affidavit.
Beall said the men's arrest is a part of an eight month long investigation.
Eyewitness News first learned about the investigation when Liberal police and the FBI shutdown multiple streets in town on Tuesday.
All three men are currently in the Sedgwick County jail on one count of conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction.
If convicted, all three could face life in prison.
The Garden City Mayor and Police Chief issued the following statements Friday evening:
"Our community is forever grateful for the protection provided to us every day, but especially today in learning of the thwarted attack on our community. I'm shocked, but at the same time extremely proud of and grateful for the efforts of local, state, and federal law enforcement. Today should also serve as a reminder that vigilance should be a common practice by all citizens. 'See something, say something' is a cause we should champion each day even in a rural community like Garden City. I would encourage anyone that sees something suspicious to call 911."
Mayor Chris Law
"The GCPD was aware of the investigation, and has cooperated with the FBI since the onset. We have been assured that all individuals involved are in custody, and that the safety of the community was ensured throughout the investigation. All inquiries about the investigation, arrest, and prosecution are referred to the US Attorney's Office and the FBI."
Chief Michael Utz
The growing tension within the Donald Trump campaign has conservatives screaming that the election is "rigged". His rhetoric has inspired extremism.
In the rust belt city of Dayton, Ohio, a young 11 year old girl was struck by a car on Ohio State Route 48 known locally as Main Street. She was dragged 100 feet and landed on the ground not moving. The residents immediately called for assistance and the Dayton Police and Emergency Response came to aid the girl. She was taken to a local hospital where tonight the junk food media confirms that she passed away.
This incident happened around Wednesday and it closed the road for hours.
Makyla White was heading to People's Market to get some snacks with her family. As she was crossing the street, a vehicle comes out of nowhere and struck her.
The driver was struck with grief and despair. The driver didn't see her dart in the street.
Makyla was not in a proper crosswalk. The area is slightly lighted. It's a four lane road without any turn lanes. There are two traffic lights between the store. The speed limit on the road is 35 mph.
The crosswalks were available.
The witnesses claim that the driver was distracted or driving at an excessive speed. Many fault the girl for not being in the proper crosswalk. The Dayton Police are investigating the incident. The police will present any evidence to the prosecutor if charges are merited.
The city and the police show concern for a deterrent that once remedied a problem. The city was using traffic control devices like speed and red light cameras.
The city of Dayton and many other jurisdiction were brutally fighting the state of Ohio to keep the red light and speed cameras on. They believed the cameras deterred traffic violations.
The state of Ohio passed legislation to eliminate the cameras. The cameras can only used in school and construction zones. An officer must be present to issue a citation. The city of Dayton didn't want to waste resources to have a cop sit at every intersection with a traffic camera.
The city lost state funds because of its disregard for the state law. Dayton and many other cities must reimburse the people who were cited since the law was enacted.
Dayton has disabled the cameras and vow to find loopholes.
Nonetheless, the residents are mourning the loss of this young girl.
The police say that speeding and illegal activities plague Main Street.
I have suggestions for Main Street. Lower the speed limit to 25 mph between Hillcrest and Great Miami Boulevard. Make Main Street a two lane road with bicycle lanes.
Main Street in Dayton is notorious for speeding, jaywalking, littering, prostitution and illegal activities like drug trafficking.
Ohio State Route 48 is an 84 mile road starts from the census-designated community Goshen and ends near the village of Houston. It passes through Dayton, Englewood, Covington, Lebanon and Kettering.
