Special Tribute to singer " Selena"



R.I.P Selena (April 19 1971- March 31 1995)
Latin pop/cumbia singer Selena was one of my favorite singers of all time. I was really young when her music career was starting, and i remember standing in front of a mirror trying to sing like her and trying to do all her dance moves. I admired the fact that she composed and wrote most of her songs and that all her songs were so vivid. Her spanish albums lead her to , 2 Grammy awards and she had like 3 #1 songs in the latin billboard charts. She was also one the best looking women ever , she was known for her pear shaped body. I must say that the day she passed away i was crying like a baby lol. It was really sad that she died right before she became an international star , she died as soon as her career shifted to the american market. Selena was killed by the president of her flan club in a Days Inn hotel 3/31/95 , 2 weeks later George w. Bush declared her birthday "Selena day" ( 4/19/71) in Texas. Make sure to check out the "Selena" movie starring Jennifer Lopez , I'm pretty sure they will be playing the movie in your local channels this entire week.  Check out some of her songs.

HaLS pronounced (Haus) was born in Miami, Florida and raised in Syracuse, NY. This talented Mc has a strong love for the hip hop game. He started dappling with Hip Hop back in the early 90’s as child. HaLS was introduced to Hip Hop by his older brother, who use to have HaLS rhyming over Chubb Rock and KRS-one instrumentals. Being raised in a predominately black community HaLS always looked up to a lot of great Hip Hop figures as a voice. Someone who has the same values as he does, coming from the same crime-infested environments so it was easy for him to relate. His father was an alcoholic, always intoxicated, so during his childhood it seemed like he was growing up in a single parent home. He went to the U.S Navy in 2000. His mother not really have any money to support him through school, HaLS was forced to find a new route to make it on his own. So at the time the navy seemed like the only legal answer he can come up with. During His 4 year stint he really started to feel alienated and lonely so he began to take music more seriously and really began to jot down his feelings and memories from what he learned from his environment, as well as his family. When HaLS left the military he continued to write and really put his experiences into music. Hals came out with a mixtape in the summer of 2006, which was received with a lot of great praises.

Remy Ma Found Guilty!



Remy Ma and her lawyer Ivan Fisher walked into Manhattan's Criminal Court today (March 27th) with optimistic thoughts. To their surprise, the jury ruled Remy out with a GUILTY verdict. Rem and her attorney was shocked as shit when she was found guilty. She put her head on the desk, while the victim Makeda Barnes Joseph, her mother and other supporter cried happy tears. Remy Ma was handcuffed and escorted out of the court room. A police officer ran to her aid as they heard Remy screaming "Oh My God". Remy's brother was highly upset and started spazzin out about how everyone lied on Rem to the police and on the stand. Remy's lawyer put a request in to Judge Rena K. Uvillier to allow Rem her time at home before sentencing, but the judge denied it.

Remy stood trial for shooting former friend Barnes-Joseph in New York City's Meatpacking district, last July. The incident occurred after Remy discovered $3,000 missing from her purse and accused the plaintiff of stealing the money.

Remy faces up to 25 years in prison. A sentence date has not yet been determined.

Here are my thoughts: Had I been in Remy's shoes, I don't think I would've shot my friend. I may have fucked dat bitch up real bad, but I didn't think shooting her was necessary especially if she was uncertain if Makeda actually stole the money. Now she's facing serious time. I do feel kind of bad for her because of the simple fact that she left her crib today thinking shit was sweet and didn't get to say goodbye to her 8 year old son. Now that's awful. But this is a lesson to be learned, that it doesn't matter how much money you have, how famous or popular you are, it doesn't even matter who the judge or the jurors are. If God says its a wrap for you....... THEN ITS A WRAP FOR YOU. Its all in his hands. SC is keeping Remy Ma in our prayers and our heart especially goes out to her little boy.
