"I don't like Alicia Keys no more though … the same reason why I said that I don't like Oprah Winfrey. I'm prejudiced. I don't like people who don't like me.

Could it be the directors way of stating HIS position,not the rappers?
Aswad Ayinde, the New Jersey man who is charged with having six children with his daughters between the 1980s and 2002, directed the award-winning music video for “Killing Me Softly” by the Fugees. Ayinde allegedly delivered his daughters’ babies himself, and he has nine kids with his ex-wife and three more with two other women in Brooklyn. "He said the world was going to end, and it was just going to be him and his offspring and that he was chosen," his ex-wife said at a hearing. Ayinde is charged with 27 charges including aggravated sexual assault, child endangerment, and criminal sexual contact.
[This is the kind of person MTV employs to make videos and gives awards to. Sounds like typical end times cult MK programming used here by this depraved sociopath (and used by many "cult leaders" before him), who may be programmed himself ('monsters' like that are not born as 'monsters'). By the way, just to reiterate once this weight has been lifted (finishing education) in about a month I should be able to return to normal posting (want to do one on the recent death of Corey Haim/Lost Boys and such) and catch up on emails, so apologiez for the inactivity. EDIT: Thought I should let people know, if they see this anyway, that the blog is on hiatus until late April so I can focus on work so don't expect new stuff till then. Daily Mail article.]
An award-winning video director repeatedly raped his daughters to create a 'pure' bloodline that would survive Doomsday, a court has heard.
Aswad Ayinde, who won an MTV award for directing The Fugees' 'Killing Me Softly' [good song, always found the video to be very boring personally], fathered six children with his daughters from the mid-1980s until 2002, New Jersey prosecutors said.
Many of the rapes took place in an abandoned funeral home. He even delivered the babies himself in a bid to keep his depraved plot secret.
'Depraved': Aswad Ayinde is accused of raping his daughters in a funeral home
Ayinde, 51, also had nine children with his former wife, Beverly, and amother three with two other women in Brooklyn, according to court documents.
Testifying at a pre-trial hearing in New Jersey, Beverly Ayinde said: 'He said the world was going to end, and it was just going to be him and his offspring and that he was chosen.'
Ayinde, also known as Charles McGill, faces the first of five trials next month - one for each daughter he allegedly abused, said prosecutor Lisa Squitieri.
The video director faces 27 charges including aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, lewdness, child endangerment, aggravated criminal sexual contact and criminal sexual contact.
A young woman who said Ayinde was her father answered the door at the home but refused to talk about the case.
Antron Singleton aka "Big Lurch," an up-and-coming rapper from Texas, was charged with murdering a Los Angeles woman in April, after a detective's report showed there were teeth marks on her face and lungs, which were torn from her chest, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Due to the extreme nature of the crime, Singleton was being held without bail until his arraignment on June 13.
A medical examination conducted shortly after his arrest, found flesh in Singleton's stomach that wasn't his own.
In Compton Superior Court Wednesday, Los Angeles Detective Raymond Jankowski said he found the body of the Tynisha Ysais, 21, Singleton's alleged victim, in her apartment with her chest torn open. Jankowski also reported that he found a three-inch blade broken off in the victim's shoulder blade and her lungs appeared to be chewed and torn.
"Her chest was open, exposing internal organs," Jankowski told the Los Angeles Times.
A friend of Ysais, Alisa Allen, reported that she saw Singleton naked in the street, covered in blood, staring at the sky. After contacting the police, who arrested Singleton, Allen then discovered Ysais lying dead in her apartment.
According to reports, Ysais' boyfriend admitted that he and Singleton were smoking PCP the night before the murder.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), PCP is a white powdery drug that generally causes abusers to become disturbed, delusional, violent, paranoid and fearful when it is sniffed, smoked, or eaten.
Davey D, a hip-hip activist of www.daveyd.com, said he got to know Singleton when he worked as a personality at California radio station KMEL 106.1. He said the crime that Singleton is accused of doesn't fit his personality nor is it indicative of hip-hop music. "I don't think this fits anyone's rap persona. PCP is capable of taking anyone out of their mind. This is bigger then hip-hop," he told BET.Com.
"It begs to question what is going on that so many people feel they got to take a mind altering substance to remove them from their natural mind state," he queried. "At times the world is a crazy place and this situation with Big Lurch proves that."
As Big Lurch, Singleton has rapped with popular rappers like Jive Records' artist Mystikal and E-40 of California.
A disturbing story out of Arizona: a 29-year-old man has told police that he sang Eminem songs while fatally stabbing his wife and daughter, KSAZ-TV reports. His 4-year-old son survived the attack, despite being stabbed 11 times. According to police, the man, Michael Miller, said he was possessed and believed that his wife was a demon.
More chilling details:
Just before stabbing her at 4 a.m., he told police he started screaming lyrics from an Eminem song, saying, "Here comes Satan, I'm the anti-Christ, I'm going to kill you."
Miller admitted to police that when the kids awoke to their mother's screams, he stabbed them too. He said he stabbed his son Brian the most because he loved him the most.
Then he rolled a cigarette, said another prayer, and called 911, police say.
Binary Star is a hip hop group formed in 1998 that was composed of One Be Lo and Senim Silla. One Be Lo met Senim Silla, and the two formed Binary Star during their time in Hiawatha Correctional Facility.[1] One Be Lo took the time to gather extensive knowledge about the music industry, including copyrights, publishing, and how to successfully start a record company. In his own words, he "learned how to hustle legally".
Im here, Okay.

Ever think Alicia and 50 are working for the same team like Democrat vs Republican candidates are? Publicity stunt? Seeing how we will react? Alicia Keys just blurted out this whole conspiracy that we are talking about right now, years ago. Nothing happened. They log data and move on.
Where are the conspiracy theorists around here!
