Planet Rock -The Story of Hip-hop & The Crack Generation Film


Planet Rock -The Story of Hip-hop & The Crack Generation Film
Watch the film here at the excellent www.hiphopisread.com
Very interesting break down of Crack Cocaines role in Hip-Hop's progression/regression, and the hysteria taken advantage for political ends in the 80's and early 90's. Film features Snoop, B-real, Pepa, nar Ice-T, Too Short and Wu-Tang and more. It does focus more on Crack and less on the music, but very interesting and revealing. Although it is unfortunate that the films title "Planet Rock" might confuse some people into thinking that there is a link between the 1982 song by The Zulu Nation's Afrika Bambaataa & the Soulsonic Force and the Drug trade, which there is not.

Jasiri X uses Pete Rock's classic beat, "They Reminisce Over You" to shed light on the case of Troy Davis.


The state of Georgia plans to execute Troy Davis on September 21, 2011. There is still serious doubt as to Troy Davis' guilt, and by putting him to death Georgia runs the risk of killing an innocent man. Please call on the board to save Troy Davis' life.

The fact is, no physical evidence connected Davis to the murder. Seven of the original nine witnesses have recanted, with many saying their testimony was a result of law enforcement pressure. Of the remaining witnesses, one is highly suspect and the other could be the actual culprit in the officer's murder.

Now, despite these and other facts, the state of Georgia has taken the final steps toward Davis' execution -- and only the Georgia Board of Pardons and Parole stands between Davis and the lethal injection chamber.
