Michael Jackson Apollo Tribute, Grammy Exhibit Announced



By Ismael AbduSalaam

The legendary Apollo Theater will honor fallen icon Michael Jackson with a special series of events commemorating his life.

The first event begins on Tuesday (June 30).

The venue will host a public tribute allowing fans to hear DJs spinning Michael’s music, leave memorabilia, and write sympathy messages on a special mural wall located outside the property.

Reverend Al Sharpton will start the event with a eulogy at 2PM. Fans will be allowed access in 600-person cycles.

Apollo CEO Jonelle Procope expects the gathering to be emotional, but hopes the visible representation of Michael’s accolades with assist the community in healing.

“Michael first performed at the Apollo in the late 1960s with his brothers and won Amateur Night, which catapulted their career as the Jackson 5. We will always remember Michael in our hearts as part of the Apollo’s family of artists and a true Apollo legend. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. He will be deeply missed,” Procope told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “From the moment the news of his passing was made public, fans began gathering at the Apollo to pay their respects and celebrate Michael’s life. We at the Apollo thought it was important to put these events together to give Michael’s fans the chance to remember him as the consummate entertainer that he was.”

The June 30 event will also feature a 30-minute tribute video, and run until 8:30PM.

The celebration officially ends the following evening (July 1) with the Harlem venue’s famed Amateur Night.

On that Wednesday night, fans will celebrate together with dance contests focused on replicating the King of Pop’s signature moves.

Today, those in the downtown Los Angeles area can visit the Grammy Museum (800 W Olympic Blvd) to see the redesigned “Michael Jackson: HIStyle” exhibit.

The newly reopened showcase displays many of the signature items of Jackson’s wardrobe such at the white suit worn on the cover of Thriller, music’s best-selling album of all time.

The Grammy exhibit is located on the third floor and opens today at 11:30AM.

In related news, BET Awards executive producer Stephen Hill has confirmed that this Sunday’s (June 28) broadcast will now be a telecast to honor the memory of Michael Jackson.

Hill clarified that the BET Awards will extensively showcase Jackson’s remarkable contributions to music and pop culture over the last four decades.

The BET Awards will be hosted by Jamie Foxx. Stars Beyonce, Maxwell, Ne-Yo, and Wyclef Jean have all signed on to assist in a last-minute tribute, which airs Sunday at 8PM.

MANNYWOOD SELLS OUT ISOTOPE PARK!!!


Albuquerque is no stranger to movie starts and music stars. But Manny Ramirez is the biggest thing to come to Albuquerque EVER! It was evident last night as Manny single handedly sold out the Albuquerque Isoptopes Ball Park. Not only last night, but every night that he will be here. Nothing but standing room only.

Manny's presence electrified the crowd. Some had signs that were anti-Manny, but most where there to see a World Series Champion and one of the best hitters the game has ever produced.
Manny came out and showed love to the fans, signing autographs for the kids, and doing his part to fit in, if only for a moment.
Although he went 0 for 2 as the leadoff hitter, you know once he gets back to the Show that he will be a beast. Manny will play again tonight. This time, I have seats on the Left Field line.
The Manny merchandise is hot right now. Many fake dreadlock wigs, but Manny and I have something in common. Baseball and that our hair is Real!!!

MANNYWOOD COMES TO ALBUQUERQUE!!!

Tonight, the legendary baseball player Manny Ramirez will don a Albuquerque Isotopes (Triple A Affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers) Uniform. He will be playing as he prepares to rejoin the Los Angeles Dodgers after his 50 game suspension.

The buzz around Manny playing here, has created a demand for tickets never seen before in Albuquerque. I went to get mine today, and the only ticket I could get for tonight is on the "Berm", which is the grassy area behind the right field wall. I'll take it.

I was able to get a ticket down the Left Field Line for tomorrow nights game though. That was a come up. Hopefully, Manny will get a few AB's and play a little Left Field, so I can get a few photos to show you.

No matter what Manny was accused of, he is still for my money, one of the best ball players today. You never know what he will do next, but you can bet it will be good.

The Albuquerque Isotopes take on the Nashville Sounds starting at 7:05 p.m.

LSU GOES FOR COLLEGE WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP TODAY



Louisiana State University's Tigers Baseball Team, plays the Texas Longhorns in the 3 game final series for the 2009 College World Series Championship, in Omaha, Nebraska.

The first game will be played today at 5 p.m. I am especially rooting for the Tigers, because of a player named Derek Helenihi. I had the pleasure of coaching this young man a few years ago, while he was in high school, and to know that he is on the brink of becoming a champion college baseball player, means a lot to me. It would be nice to say that I have a player who won a College World Series.


Now the Texas Longhorns are no easy push over. They have been here before. However, I believe that LSU has been playing great baseball, sweeping all of their opponents thus far in the tournament.


So tune in, and root, root, root, for the Tigers, if they don't win it's a shame....

Anyway, I thought, man people need to see this, but I was like nah! That wouldn't be cool. But after further consideration, here it is.

Beno's Top 5 Rappers to Actors











Beno's Top 5 Rappers to Actors

Movies that include real life hip hop artists are nothing new. Since Hip Hop was born, movies have always had cameos of rappers, deejays, b-boys, graffiti artists and others. However, we can not deny the impact that having a rap artist in a motion picture provides. Rap Artists that have gone on to star in big motion pictures are Will Smith, LL Cool J, Busta Rhymes, Xzibit, DMX, Ice Cube, Dre, Snoop, Sticky Fingaz, Ice-T, Bow Wow, Saafir and a host of others.


I am a fan of hip hop movies in particular, but when a rap artist appears in a "mainstream" movie, I am more apt to peep it out and see if it is good or not, based on the rappers performance. I am glad that their celebrity gives them an opportunity to do other art and for the most part, make the project more appealing to the urban fan.

Beno's Top 5 Rappers to Actors are:

1.Will Smith
Will is the biggest success thus far as a rapper turned actor. He has been acting so long, that people probably have forgotten his cinematic raps about girls, parents and beating Mike Tyson. Will has captivated the U.S. and World as being a super hero type of being, through the characters that he portrays in the movie. Not only that, but Will has always had a great sense of humor showcased through his music and television show, The Fresh Prince. Smith has shown what the potential is for a rap artist who has acting skills and can play the game. Favorite Will Smith Movie-Hancock

2. Tupac
I believe that Tupac was born to act. Even in his music, he was able to make you see and believe what he was rapping about, because of his acting skills. Tupac has many films to his credit, that you can watch over and over again. Some of these films are Juice, Poetic Justice, Gang Related, and Gridlocked. When you think of Pac, you have to think of his acting. He was like the first "two art" Rapper. Almost like Deion Sanders and Bo Jackson, were "two sport" athletes. Favorite Tupac Movie-Juice

3. Ice T
Ironically, most of the world was introduced to Ice-T through a movie called Breakin'. That is how crafty this artists is. He has always played it cool, but you can tell, that he is serious about his art. Starring in numerous movies such as New Jack City and television shows, Law and Order, he has secured his place as a true actor in my book. Ice-T also serves as an example of if someone wants something bad enough, they can get it. Favorite Ice T Movie-New Jack City

4. Ice Cube
Cube has taken the game to the next level, because he not only starred in one of the biggest movies of our time, Boyz N the Hood, but he has gone on to write his Friday series and start his own lucrative production company. He can play serious roles as well, as carry a movie comically. One great achievement that should not go unnoticed as well, is his ability to cast new talent. By him including Chris Tucker, Katt Williams and Mike Epps, he aided them in gaining a greater notoriety and ability to be successful in the movie business on their own terms. Favorite Ice Cube Movie-Friday After Next

5. DMX
DMX is probably the closest thing to a Hollywood actor on this list. Not because of his acting skills, which are not bad, but because he gets in Hollywood type trouble. He is an example of the two edge sword that movie fame brings. One one hand you are given greater notoriety, opportunity and money. On the other hand, you begin to feel that you are above the law, like you are constantly on a movie set. Given his off screen problems that rival white actors, he has amassed a body of work and is becoming the next Wesley Snipes, with a string of B-movies. I hope DMX has an opportunity to get back on his grizzly and show the many dimensions that would make him a good co-star in a major movie. Favorite DMX Movie-Belly
Honorable Mentions:
LL Cool J, Mos Def, Snoop Dogg, Sticky Fingaz, Bow Wow, and T.I.
Who are your Top 5 Rappers to Actors? Let me know.

USHER HER OUT OF THE CRIB HOMEBOY!!


I have to say I am not shocked in the least that Usher filed for divorce from wife Tameka Foster Raymond. Now, I would not wish divorce on anybody, because I am sure that is a hard thing to go through. However, like I said, I knew this thing would not last. I thought he got bamboozled from the jump on that one. She came in the marriage with three children and was eight years older than Ush! In fact, if I was Usher, I would divorce all my friends too, cause somebody should of told me I was making a mistake! However, they do have two children, so everything ain't all that bad.

"That was some OOOH WEEE last night!"


When I saw Chicago Cub Outfielder, Milton Bradley catch a fly ball that he thought was the third out, and then throw the balls into the right field stands for the fans at Wrigley Field, I thought, that was nice.
But then the camera shows the runner on third; dumbfounded at what just happened, taking off to score. I thought, "Man, how is Bradley gonna explain that one?" Even though the runner would of probably tagged up and scored easily anyway, is not the point. As a professional Baseball player you should know the number of outs. You can ask your teammates or just look at the Big A88 scoreboards all around the stadium.
So my caption for this picture is, "That was some OOOH WEEE last night!"

BAD BOY JOINT!! Cassie (feat. Diddy)-Must Be Love

Wendy Day Launches Company To 'Incubate' Urban Labels

By Chris Richburg

Aspiring music industry professionals will get a well-established helping hand in their quest for success from Rap Coalition founder Wendy Day.

Day’s assistance will come courtesy of Indie Label Builder, a new consulting company designed to work with clients in finding ways to sell their music and establish their own record label.

According to Day, the venture serves as an "incubator" to lay the groundwork for a successful stint in the music world, by utilizing the company’s expertise in launching labels and artists in a competitive field.

“The cool thing about incubating labels is that the success rate of urban indies will skyrocket,” Wendy Day told AllHipHop.com. “There has never been a better time in the history of the music business to start a record label. The internet leveled the playing field, the majors had to open their system of distribution to indies in order to remain afloat financially, and the barrier to entry is quite low--anyone can start a label.”

Services offered by Indie Label Builder include planning, organization, promotions, set up and company structuring.

The company also offers day-to-day assistance in regards to tax structure and payments, marketing plans, budgets, selling CDs and digital downloads and obtaining proper contracts for artists and producers.

“Indies no longer have to learn by trial and error, or lose money from trusting the wrong people,” Wendy Day continued. “This is like hiring a General Manager with experience and a track record of success to oversee and run your label, while teaching your staff, for a fraction of the price. And on Indie Label Builder's side of the business, we get to incubate and grow numerous successful labels each year. It's like what I have been doing for the past 15 years, but on turbo boost! I'm so excited about this.”

In addition to the Rap Coalition, the writer/business woman made a name for herself while managing the careers of rappers such as Slick Rick, Twista, Ras Kass, Cash Money Records, David Banner and others.

With her latest venture, Day is looking to provide equal footing for those who have encountered roadblocks on their way to garnering success.

“You can expect a nurturing environment where they can build and run their companies under the guidance of someone with my experience, expertise, and track record--for less than you'd pay an employee.”

Beno's Top 5 Rappers















To name 5 Rappers/Rap Groups that are the best that ever did this music is a challenge. Being that I truly appreciate everyone that has contributed to this music and culture. Five just does not really do justice to artists like Melle Mel, KRS-One, Chuck D, Ice-T, Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest, Treach, and the list could go on and on and on.
However, if I had to go out on a limb, and these were the people that I would give props to

1. RUN DMC

RUN DMC paved the way for all of the commercial success that rap artists enjoy today. But it wasn't all about money for these guys. The songs they created had socially conscious lyrics and they encouraged you to be all you could be. Lyrics about going to college made an impact on me, especially considering that many rappers today, do not include those themes in their songs. However, it was that hard driving boom bap and just plain old b-boy style that set RUN-DMC above all others. No one could copy there style. Later I would learn that DMC (Darryl McDaniels) actually wrote most of the rhymes for Run. So DMC deserves a lot of credit for the groups success. However, it was RUN's persona that carried the group and drew fans the world over. Songs like Sucker MC's, Hard Times, Peter Piper, My Adidas, and Rock Box are just a few of my favorite songs from RUN DMC. But the one that really marks how hard the were was the live recording of "Here We Go". So to make a list of five rappers who were and are at the top of the game, but you cannot ignore RUN DMC ever!!!!

2. ERIC B AND RAKIM

What more can you say but KNOWLEDGE? Eric B and Rakim brought the music that made you think to the game. They made you use chines arithmetic to add up the number of emcees that Rakim would eat up. His delivery over the gritty music, was punctuated by how calm and smooth he was. You got the sense that Rakim was not easily riled up. Through his music he taught you to be cool, thoughtful and collected. There has not been many rappers after Rakim, that have been able to capture that unique and special touch that he was able to convey in his records. They were also trendsetters, as they bordered on that line of Street Hustling and Rap, way before others made that connection. Some of my favorite cuts are "Move the Crowd, "Eric B for President", "Microphone Fiend" and "Follow the Leader".
3. LL Cool J

You can not be a true fan of rap music and not have been a fiend of LL Cool J's music. LL was single handedly the biggest, baddest and youngest artist in the late eighties to make the ladies swoon and the fellas search the airwaves to hear his latest jams. His youthful energy and swagger, long before it was even a hip term to use, engrossed young people. His lyrics were the kind, that you find your boy in the school yard and you spit the line, "I'm notorious, I'll crush you like a jelly bean!". You would look no further than LL Cool J, as someone you wanted to be like. And then you take into account the staying power and the fact that he is still able to make records, proves that he was really one of our greatest song writers of our time. He has continued to redefine himself, but his first albums, Radio and Bigger and Deffer, should get more acclaim than they do. Some of my favorite Cool J songs are, "Radio", "Candy", "Mama Said Knock You Out", and yes I hate to admit it, but so what "I Need Love" was one of the biggest records in a young persons life back then. Oh, and then don't forget his multiple battles and one of the illest battles songs ever, "Jack The Ripper!"

4. Ice Cube

Ice Cube, is the most prolific rap artist ever. He is in a class by himself. What he did for Rap would revolutionize the music industry and country for years to come. Ice Cube gained fame as a member of N.W.A. His writing ability enabled the groups members to flourish. After leaving N.W.A. over royalty disputes, he recorded Amerikkkas Most Wanted. It was a day that I know I will never forget. I remember driving to Fremont, to the record store to buy that TAPE!!! Yes, a cassette tape. Cube was able to capture the feelings of people and paint stories so vividly, that it would serve him well in his future movie production company, Cube Vision. But what made Ice Cube so great was the emotion that he was able to express in his delivery. You could feel the pain, the anger, the hurt, the comedy, and the conviction. One of my favorite line in rap ever, come from Ice Cube, when he says on "Us"' "Us will always sing the blues, cause all we care about is hair styles and tennis shoes, and if you stepped on mine, you pushed a button, cause i'll beat you down like it a'int nothing!" For him to capture that, and that still be the prevailing thought of America's youth today, is mind blowing. Think about it. Anything Cube created from N.W.A. on up to his current Independent releases, is thought provoking, poignant, funny and worth your time to listen to. Some of my favorite cuts of Cube's are "A B++ch is A B==tch", "Once Upon A Time In the Projects", "Good Day" and the list goes on and on and on.


5. TUPAC

From the first time that I saw Tupac and heard his music, I was a fan. He had just been embroiled in a dispute with the Oakland Police Department for Jay Walking where he was harassed and assaulted. Immediately, I knew he was in the struggle. Upon listening to his first album 2Pacalypse Now, I was drawn in by his thoughtful lyric content with message dealing with everyday life of a young black man, that I related to right away. Not to forget that Brenda's Got a Baby and If My Homie Calls were in my opinion great songs. I don't think anyone knew Pac had the capabilities to create songs with a song writing ability that would influence every other rapper to come. Even the likes of Jay-Z, 50 Cent and countless others borrow his phrases, delivery and passion. It is unfortunate that Tupac was never able to do the type of music that he started out doing. Take a listen to his first album and you can see where he was at with his topics, and due to the audience not really being there with him, he began to change his content, and although it probably wasn't what he really wanted to express, it brought him the fame. It ultimately cost him his life. But there will never be another Tupac, as there will never be another Marvin Gaye or Bob Marley. Some of my favorite Tupac Songs are, "Keep Ya Head Up", "Pour Out a Little Liquor", "I Get Around", to name a few.
Conclusion
While I know everybody has there own opinion on who is the top rappers and emcees, these are my choices. I know that if you can agree with me on these choices that you really respect rap. For me, while I dig T.I., Jay-Z and others, there is no way that I could rank them above the people that came before them. You have to pay respect to those who came before you. And I believe this list does that. So to the up and coming Hip Hop Fans, rappers, producers, and entertainers, get to know the past artists and how the contributed to our great Musical Culture and add on to it Positively.

Beno's former player Derek Helenihi Homers LSU into the College World Series.


BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU third baseman Derek Helenihi made his the most of his one start in last weekend's NCAA regionals, boosting the Tigers with a two-run single after an early mistake in the field.

Saturday night the senior did it again, this time with both his bat and his glove. In his first start of the super regionals, Helenihi went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI single as LSU won 5-3 to clinch the best-of-three series against Rice and a second straight trip to the College World Series.

Helenihi, "It was good to get in there and get a chance to swing today," said Helenihi, who has four homers this season.

Helenihi's glove also was on display in the third inning, as he ranged to his left and dove for a grounder that seemed destined for leftfield. The play ended the inning and energized an LSU-record crowd of 9.651 after Rice had just tied the score at 1 with a home run.

"Our fans are the best in the country," LSU starting pitcher Louis Coleman said. "Combine that with what I think is the best defense in the country and it’s hard to score runs. I don’t have to get a bunch of strikeouts when guys like Derek Helenihi are behind me."

LSU coach Paul Mainieri said he decided to start Helenihi partly because a slight breeze was blowing out to right-center, directly in the senior's power alley as a right-handed push hitter. Factor in his veteran leadership and solid glove and Mainieri couldn't pass up the chance.
"I’ve been watching Derek for the past month," Mainieri said. "His attitude in the dugout has always been upbeat. ... When I was writing out the lineup, I wanted to go with the veteran player with a good attitude."

-Andy Schwehm

Archie Gilbert Goes 4 for 4 in a 6-1 win.

Archie Gilbert is having a great baseball season thus far for the Midland Rockhounds (AA Affiliate of the Oakland A's) Since moving to the lead-off spot Archie has been sensational, making several terrific plays in the outfield and continuing his torrid pace at the plate. Archie went 4-for-4, all singles, scoring after his first inning single and driving in a run with each of his next three. Gilbert extended his hit streak to 11 games and has now reached base in 23 straight. Currently hitting .335 with 26 RBI's and 14 Stolen Bases, we can't wait till he gets to the SHOW!!!.

Mary J. Blige Got Another Hit on Her Hands!!!


Mary J. Blige has another hit on her hands with this new song "The One" features new rap artist Drake. The song was produced by Hit maker Rodney Jerkins and it has a uptempo groove that women will be dancing to in the club, in their homes and in their cars.

JAY-Z is Killing Something

Quick Side note: In this photo it looks like everyone is looking at Jay's stomach, when they should be looking at MIA's belly. LOL)

This is the latest Jay-Z song where he is eulogizing the effect Autotune. The beat is hard. I believe NO I.D. produced this, and if he is on it, than the beat is a definite banger. It sounds like Jay-Z is in the pocket on this. His last verse is real good as well. You definitely will listen to it for a while, trying to make sense of what he is rapping about. You know Jay has multiple meanings when he spits.

I would give this a double.

Trick Daddy-This The Sh## That I Live


Listening to Allhiphop.com's Music Section, I decided to listen to Trick Daddy's new song, This The Sh** That I Live.


I got to say that Trick Daddy, did a real good job, bringing that energy. The beat was hard and on point and the lyrics and lyric delivery of TD was on point.


So I had to write and give it props. Definitely look for the song, and listen to it for yourself.


I would rank this as a lead off triple!!!
