“Hope you don’t mind if I smoke?” said the 36-year-old mild mannered artist who then stepped by the closed...

The Suns...
Last week the Phoenix Suns had a press junket to begin the long awaited season after the lockout. Although some players were more difficult to have a moment with than others the PR team made their best effort to let each player have their time with the media outlets. This year we may not have an all-star line up, but as long as we have Nash on our side we can hope for the best this season (Even...
When It Rains It Pours...
Shortly after the AP uncovered hundreds of sexual assault cases mishandled by the Maricopa County Sheriffs Office (MCSO) the Department of Justice announce that their investigation found the sheriffs office to have a culture of racism against Latinos. From the sweeps that trample on civil rights to the emails of fake I.D. photographs with the title “Mexifornia” the MCSO not only...
SB 10... What again?
The U.S. Supreme Court has decided to take on Arizona’s controversial immigration law SB1070. The case is whether certain provisions in SB1070 undermine the role of the federal government and whether the law is constitutional. The lower courts ruled out four of the most controversial provisions of the law and the federal government hope to maintain that victory. This case will make or...

In the early evening a large group of protesters paraded around downtown in the light drizzle that covered the metro area. Around forty police officers surrounded the Freeport McMoran/Westin building where a few protesters heckled the corporate scum in town for the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).

Wale
Not being much of a fan of him in the first place, I’m even less of a fan after hearing about his whole demeanor while here in Arizona doing promo. I do have to admit he had some hits and he got the crowd going.

In the early 2000’s Cam’ron, Juelz Santana and the whole DIPSET crew were on top of their game. Their main producers at the time, The Heatmakerz, were establishing that classic sample based sound that carries on in many of their hit records. Today that influence created the threat know as ARAAB MUZIK, the DIPLOMATS producer that’s been playing the drums since the age of 3 and...
Russell Pearce...
Not only did Russell Pearce lose in a historic recall election in a embarrassing defeat tonight, but he was dressed like crap as he learned his fate from his Mesa home. Pearce, well know for his brutal immigration stance and his attempt to make schools report illegal students, has lost his seat as Arizona’s Senate President. This is the first person in known history to be recalled and due...
