Riding Through Compton With DJ Quik
Sitting in his studio in a Papa Smurf t-shirt, or sliding through Compton in his gleaming black Mercedes, DJ Quik talks about driving through Crip territory as a Blood, Eazy-E’s offer of a million dollars to sign, and his disbelief that he’s still alive. It’s a trip through his hood, but also his life. – LA Weekly

Strong Arm Steady – When Darkness Falls (Feat. Marsha Ambrosius) & Got NO Gun
When Darkness Falls (feat. Marsha Ambrosius)
‘When Darkness Falls’ video is on MTV today so fuck It! This song was supposed to be on Arms & Hammers and is not a song to to promote gun usage or violence in any way. It is ACTUALLY the exact opposite. This song is denouncing the fake tough guy approach to hip-hop that has infected its creativity and progress for so long. Although its better to be caught with than without, half these niguhs aint even got NO gun!! – Krondon

Elmer G. “Geronimo†Pratt – Black Panther, Godfather of 2Pac, Passes At 63
Former Black Panther Elmer G. “Geronimo†Pratt died in Tanzania late Thursday (June 3rd) night. Pratt was the former Minister of Defense for the Black Panther Party, and in 1972 was unjustly prosecuted and eventually served 27 years in prison for a murder. Pratt came to epitomize the oppression suffered by many left-wing activists from the 60s and 70s at the hands of the C.I.A. and American Justice system. It was proven that he was a victim of former CIA head J. Edgar Hoover’s CointelPro movement that targeted prominent civil rights, anti-war, and community leaders.
Pratt was also the godfather of Tupac Shakur, and the rapper mentioned his infamous godfather on his album Don Killuminati: the 7-Day Theory.
Geronimo Pratt was 63 when he died from a heart attack.

CyHi Da Prynce Royal Flush 2 Cover
Cyhi da Prynce sits down with Billboard and spoke on his upcoming mixtape Royal Flush 2 which will be his last mixtape then he will work on his debut album. It hits the net on June 14. Check out except from the interview below.
Tell us about the look and feel of “Royal Flush 2.â€
The actual visual is a more aggressive version of the first one. The first one was more laidback; it was wintertime music because it was wintertime so I wanted it to feel wintertime-ish. This one is more summertime, more energetic, more show-driven music, more aggressive, so you know that’s what Royal Flush II is- it’s the flipside of Royal Flush I. The artwork is self-explanatory: It shows a prince in all six forms and fashions, and the music displays that as well. And you know, the visuals, everything we do around it, is going to display the “Prince of Americaâ€, and that’s who I am. So when I go to these other countries, I really represent America and I really get to sit down with these other princes and politicians and try to change the world.
