Artist: malcolm x

Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Releases , Q + A Courtesy of Le Butcherettes Le Butcherettes hail from the underground Mexican scene, where they quickly rose to fame for their daring live act featuring onstage theatrics involving fake blood and political stunts in the name of stopping violence against women. When vocalist Teri Gender Bender (born Teresa Suaréz) relocated to the U.S. in 2009, she reconvened the band with Gabe Serbian on drums [...]

Who did Lupe Fiasco reveal was his "intelligent, intelligent, intelligent" inspiration at a recent Ohio State concert? No, certainly not B.o.B, the artist who one-upped him twice and left him feeling light-to-medium suicidal. It was Malcolm X, whose 86th birthday would have been Thursday (the same day of Fiasco's shout-out at OSU). The Chi-town performer has previously gotten political on The Colbert Report , so it's no great surprise to hear him champion the controversial civil rights activist. Watch the moving tribute below.

On what would've been Malcolm X's 86th birthday, Lupe Fiasco pays homage to one of History's most important figures, live from the home of the Buckeyes. RR

"It is a time for martyrs now, and if I am to be one, it will be for the cause of brotherhood. That's the only thing that can save this country." - Malcolm X, in a speech delivered two days before he was assassinated on February 19, 1965. Taking a brief moment to acknowledge Malcolm X on what would have been his 86th birthday today. A gangster and a gentleman. Scholar and leader of the people. Salute!

This weekend was an interesting one to say the least. As you could tell blogging was not my first point as I spent most of it recovering in my bed. Rickie Jacobs has always been at home on this blog and this time he comes with probably one of his biggest records to date along with Artic on Malcolm X. It is great to see Rickie finally getting the listens that he deserves and knowing Rickie Malcolm X isn't even close to the start of what he is going to do. I also threw in a [...]

Insight is an emcee from Boston who constantly pushes the boundaries of hip-hop. His 2008 article "Remove The Music" is an interesting read, it is also the first piece to be chosen, told from an emcee persepective as part of the Food 4 Thought series. Words are the basic element of language and poetry. I always found it ironic that hip-hop/rap musicians claim to have mastered their craft without a passion for language. The master of ceremony, an emcee, is supposed to have the ability to control crowds (Move The Crowd -Rakim). To do that, one must master language and understand [...]

Jeezy strikes a Malcolm X pose on the cover of his new mixtape

The man pictured above is Thomas Hagan, an iconic and equally infamous name of the 20th century. And chances are most people don't a clue who he is. Even those old enough to remember his act likely don't remember his name. On February 21, 1965, Hagan - then known as Talmadge X - made history. He's the man who looked Malcolm X in his eyes and proceeded to take his life and a big part of the Civil Rights Movement in the process. So, yes, Thomas Hagan is a killer. On April 28, however, after 16 unsuccessful parole [...]

Not since N.W.A. dropped "Fuck the Police" has hip-hop sounded this defiant.

Femi Kuti is the son of Fela and the righteous leader of his own Positive Force. He speaks now just days after the Nigerian government shut down the Shrine, the historic venue that was the birthplace of Afrobeat. This interview by Chris Ziegler.

"..Put the word 'Freedom' out of your vocabulary" Revolutionary minds always get played out of due gratitude. For instance, today should be a holiday. If MLK gets a day, Malcolm X should get one too. Simple logic. Both men's nobility were equally necessary factors of the change that followed them. Before building bridges, we had to tear down walls. Malcolm's fighting spirit fueled the tearing down, while Martin's words and actions inspired the building. Yet it still somehow feels like Martin got all the praise while [...]

• Malcolm X - American Civil War

There's kind of a rule in national politics. Man, you better at least carry your home state. Walter Mondale got creamed by Reagan in '84, but he won his home state of Minnesota . In part, Al Gore lost in 2000 because he didn't win his home state of Tennessee . So, it's probably not helpful for John McCain that he's in a little bit of trouble in his home state of Arizona . I'm not convinced he'll lose there tomorrow, but I'd be very pleased if he did. Not because of what it [...]

Barack Obama spoke on the Statehouse Lawn yesterday.Downtown was completely swarmed by Obama's movement. According to The Toledo Blade 60,000 people showed up. John Glenn, Mayor Coleman, and Governor Strickland were all in the building, er I mean on the lawn. It was actually pretty amazing to see that many people actually caring about something. Especially supporting a dood who is into Malcolm X, Rap, and is jocked by Buckeye Jocks. Skip this section if you don't want to hear me try to be funny [...]
