Second Saturday’s bad rap

Second Saturday’s bad rap:
First, Midtown clothing boutique United State was denied its Second Saturday entertainment permit. On its blog (http://unitedstateonline.com), the owner wrote that city police cited “attracting a younger audience” and underage drinking as causes for rejection.

That’s funny. I’ve never seen underage drunks in Midtown on Second Saturday.

Anyway, United State’s owners say they never serve alcohol on Second Saturday and don’t allow patrons with booze into their store. They do, however, put on live hip-hop and turntablism events every Second Saturday on the front sidewalk, one of the few Second Saturday hip-hop events in Midtown.

So this past Second Saturday, I went to the streets to see whether cops have a beef with rap.

On S and 16th streets near Ernesto’s Mexican Food, no less than three cop cars were parked near Omina Laboratories, which celebrated its one-year anniversary with live hip-hop performances on the roof. And the cops didn’t do anything but watch; maybe they were captivated by Chase Moore’s sunset performance and DJ Oasis’ scratch skills?

That evening around 8:30 p.m., however, a few cops took action. Around the corner from U.S. at Cuffs Urban Apparel during emcee Bones’ set with Citystate, three police harassed the deejay and the store’s owners over permits, then—when they realized Cuffs had all the necessary paperwork—were chagrined and retreated west down J Street.

Later, down the street at My BBQ Spot during Mahtie Bush’s set, four cops loafed near the back parking lot, but the show went on. As it should. (N.M.)

NYPD hosted a three-day "hip-hop training session" in May 2003 attended by officers from "other major cities like Los Angeles and Atlanta."

Hip Hop Cops

By Salim Muwakkil, In These Times. Posted July 8, 2004.

Police Secretly Watching Hip-Hop Artists" read the headline of the Miami Herald article that put the spotlight on a practice that has grown more ominous at the same time that hip-hop has grown more popular.

As Nichole White and Evelyn McDonnell reported on March 9, "Miami and Miami Beach police are secretly watching and keeping dossiers on hip-hop celebrities like P. Diddy and DMX and their entourages when they come to South Florida." Police officials told the Herald they photographed rappers as they arrived at Miami International Airport and staked out hotels, nightclubs and video shoots. The reporters explained that dozens of major and minor rappers are listed and tracked in a "6-inch thick" binder supplied by the New York City Police Department (NYPD).

Rap artists and others associated with hip-hop culture have long complained of being targets of police harassment. New York, the birthplace of hip-hop music, has become the de facto center of hip-hop intelligence. A special NYPD unit is dedicated to hip-hop surveillance, according to The Village Voice. Police officials downplay the reports. They insist hip-hop cops are a small part of the intelligence division's gang unit and that they simply try to preempt the kind of violence that seems to follow hip-hop artists.

But the NYPD's response sparked more questions: Why is hip-hop associated with gangs? Why the intelligence division?

Those preemptive strategies apparently are being adopted by police forces in other cities. The Herald noted that the NYPD hosted a three-day "hip-hop training session" in May 2003 attended by officers from "other major cities like Los Angeles and Atlanta."

Miami officials said they were compelled to do a crash course on hip-hop after realizing their city was becoming a favorite destination. But just like their big-city mentors, Miami cops' actions are being driven by stereotypes. "A lot of, if not most, rappers belong to some sort of gang," Miami Police Sergeant Rafael Tapenes told the Herald. Law enforcement conflates gangs and hip-hop because young black men are at the core of both – the same black youth who have had problems with American law enforcement since the days of the slave patrols.

Even before recent revelations of hip-hop surveillance units, in March 2003, The Source declared in a headline: "State of Emergency: Hip-Hop Under Attack." The magazine, the country's largest hip-hop oriented publication, sounded the alarm about attacks from the increasingly influential cultural right and more intrusive police scrutiny. It featured an interview with a New York City cop who admitted that a special unit existed specifically to monitor, even harass, hip-hop figures. The unidentified cop told The Source that these efforts were aided by an increased focus on security after 9/11, which "opened up avenues for the government to change laws and violate public rights."

Some see motives that are even more nefarious. Cedric Muhammad, publisher of the webzine BlackElectorate.com and former manager of the hip-hop collective Wu-Tang Clan, ran a series linking police harassment of rappers to the infamous COINTELPRO programs of J. Edgar Hoover's FBI. Muhammad recently wrote a public letter to the Miami Herald, suggesting that reporters should shift the focus of attention beyond police harassment and racial profiling, "properly placing it where it belongs – at the federal level."

The feds already have used antiterrorism strategies to crack down on domestic street gangs, and some officials have even linked such gangs to terrorism. Muhammad writes that linking gangsta rappers to genuine gangsters allows a COINTELPRO-like program to continue under the guise of homeland security, thus preempting the potential for a militant mass movement of black people.

Of course, hip-hop made itself an easy target. A large part of the genre's appeal is its flamboyant roguishness. The ghetto-centric sensibilities and crime-laced narratives that dominate so much of the genre offer a vicarious escape for some and, perhaps, a how-to manual for others.

Hip-hop artists often project images that skirt the edges of respectability, posturing a hard, "no sell-out" image, even as they rake in mainstream bucks. And then there are the "beefs" – the feuds that too often have jumped off records into reality. What's more, critics increasingly complain that rap lyrics go beyond promoting violence and crime to self-hatred and misogyny. And these complaints are most strenuous within the African-American community, not the FBI.

Issues like these were addressed at the National Hip-Hop Political Convention in Newark, N.J. The mid-June event gathered activists, politicians, scholars and hip-hop artists from across the country to discuss ways to empower the so-called hip-hop generation. I'm sure the police were watching.

Tiger Woods' Mistress speaks out?!?!

Jaimee Grubbs may have unraveled Tiger's entire case.
VH1Jaimee Grubbs may have the proof she needs regarding her relationship with Tiger Woods--it's all in a voicemail message posted by Us Magazine on Wednesday morning. The message itself is short, but it contains all of the necessary information: Tiger tells Jaimee to "take [her] name off the phone" and "have it as a number" because his wife Elin recently went through his phone. While it's possible that Grubbs could have found some Tiger sound-alike somewhere, all signs seem to currently point to him being the person who made this call.

The golf star's relationship with Grubbs, who was involved at one point in the VH1 show "Tool Academy," may explain some reports of a domestic dispute on Friday morning rather than the mere "auto accident" initially reported. Tiger suffered lacerations across his face, but there was no blood found in the car and many sources believe them to have come from a physical altercation with his wife. Tiger had been staying away from authorities over the past few days, and he was ultimately handed a citation.

Grubbs, meanwhile, wasn't exactly hiding this soon-to-be-infamous voicemail from people. According to TMZ she has played the message numerous times at work for people to hear.

Is this voicemail all the proof you need? Let me know your thoughts with a comment and stay tuned for more news.

Mayweather agreed to terms for the welterweight title bout on Tuesday, multiple sources with knowledge of the negotiations told ESPN.com.

The proposed date is March 13, although there is a chance it could move to May 1, sources said. Mayweather, according to a source close to him, is OK with either date.

"I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves.
