William Balfour, the major suspect in the murders of Jennifer Hudson's family was officially indicted today in Illinois. He received his indictment for brutally shooting Jennifer's three family members. He is pleading not guilty but still faces charges of: first degree murder and home invasion. He is currently being held in Cook County at the request of his attorney. His next hearing will take place on January, 20, 2009. I will bring you an update at that time, should any info be released.
Well, this to me is good news. It means things are still moving in the right direction. I still hold fast that Balfour had a major hand in all of this. Even if he wasn't acting alone, he still deserves to go down for this heinous crime. It was not necessary to do that to Jennifer's family. Especially her nephew, he was the most innocent in all of this due to the fact that he was just a child. People need to get a grip and think before they do things. Cause I'm sure whatever his reason behind it, it don't seem worth it now. Anyways, I hope the hearing next month finally results in some steps towards being settled for good. Sooner this is over, the sooner the Hudson family can move on and put this tragedy behind them. -MinM

The production here is hot, beat is seriously catchy. Got a video game type of sound mixed with a club bass. Gives a real feel good, dance type of vibe. The hook is wack, Young Buck could have done much better: "I got it, if you want it. Swag on ya. I got it, if you want it. Swag on ya. You looking like you need something. You looking like you need something. You looking like you need something. She looking like she need something. Swag." Lame right, well you should hear how he performs it, the sing song route, is not a good look for ya boy. The verses are alright, but no where near Buck's best. He had some clever lines, his word play was good, and the content was fitting with the song. However, Buck is capable of murdering joints and he didn't do that on this one. I think maybe cause this is more for the clubs and he's better suited for that street ish. Overall, I'd say bump this. Once you get past the hook, it's not that bad. Weigh in for yourselves though. -MinM

Lupe Fiasco is giving back to the community by providing coats to the children of Illinois this Winter. The rapper dropped $5,000 to give back to his people in his hometown. He said he wanted to help out those that truly deserve it. In addition to purchasing the coats, the rapper was also on hand to help pass out the coats today as well. If you want more Lupe, you can catch him at the Grammys on February 8, 2009. He is up for four different awards that evening.
I think it's noble of Lupe to do that for the children. The Winters in this area ain't no joke and I feel bad for people who have to be out there in the cold with no coat or anything. I personally wish that I could do more to donate and stuff during the Winter times. They really are serious and being out not properly dressed and what not, has caused a lot of serious health issues for the less fortunate. So much love to Lupe and best of luck to him at the Grammys! -MinM

It's been a while since I ripped reviewed a track from a G-unit member, so here we go. Lloyd Banks' delivery here was boring, he sounded extra sleepy. Which matched the production perfectly, because it was very boring also. There was a low piano and bass, I assume it was supposed to give off a dark and intense vibe. But it was missing something to really make it hit home, I didn't like it. The hook is alright, but it could have better defined the song title. The verses are pretty bad too, Banks just doesn't bring anything to them. His usual street and sexual banter, nothing unique or creative though. Basically, he says a whole lot of nothing, know what I mean? Overall, I'd say forget about this and go budget for your New Year's Eve outfit or something. But you don't have to take my word for it, feel free to be brave and click the link. -MinM

Last night (12-26-08), an E-40 concert turned deadly as it let out in Colorado. Reports say that the shooting took place in Downtown Denver, at a place called Club Vinyl around 2 am. Fans were leaving the show when a group of unknown people opened fire and hit five concert goers. The victims were rushed to Denver Health Medical Center and are in critical condition. Of course there are no suspects at this time.
Damn, someone needs to do something about these hyphy cats and their shows. This is the second concert that ended in violence. I don't care what kind of music you are doing, it is unecessary for people to get shot at a concert. They are going to a show to be entertained, not lose they life. I think this is sad and that once again Black people need to learn how to act. During election time, everybody was so "shocked" that people still look upon us with such negativity. Well ish like this, is why they do so. And I know, not all of us reflect the steretypes that are placed on our race. But too many of us do and it's gone on for far too long. Think about it! - MinM
