Mick Boogie presents: Brooklyn Soul (mixtape)
There's been a million of these American Gangster remix albums recently pretty much all of which I haven't checked out but Mick Boogie's track record as far as mixtapes goes is pretty impeccable so he gets a pass.

Benazir Bhutto assassinated!
Bhutto at a rally minutes before being assassinated.
Earlier today. Details via the NY Times here.
I wonder how the Bush administration will deal with this (not really a) curve ball (I mean who couldn't have seen this coming after what happened when she first returned to Pakistan)? It's possible that their so-called 'Ally in the War on Terror,' Pakistan's President Musharraf may have had a hand in this yet they still have an Iraq & Iran-focused foreign policy for the region when Pakistan is the country that actually has nuclear weapons and is in real danger of falling into the control of terrorist-sympathizing, Islamic radical-fundamentalists.
BTW: should I read anything into the timing of this murder/attack coming right after reports began to surface that $5 billion of the $10 billion in US military aid sent to Pakistan to help secure the border with Afghanistan and rout out the ('final') remnants of Al Qaeda and the Taliban has gone unaccounted for?

Scott McClellan: another lying Bush administration official finally comes clean?
So speaking of White House press secretaries, I missed posting this one about Ms. Perino's immediate predecessor, Scott McClellan, from a little while back:
"I had unknowingly passed along false information. And five of the highest ranking officials in the administration were involved in my doing so: Rove, Libby, the vice President, the President's chief of staff, and the President himself. [emphasis added]"That's a passage re: the C.I.A. leak investigation from McClellan's book What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and What's Wrong With Washington as quoted in Slate.
One day, we can only hope the whole sordid truth about the Valerie Plame affair, the lying about WMD to start the Iraq war and every other incident of f-ckery this White House administration has committed will be revealed. Unfortunately, it will likely be too late to impeach Bush and Cheney.

Judge Orders Hearing Into Destroyed CIA Interrogation Videos
The f-ckery unravels?
"A federal judge on Tuesday ordered a hearing on whether the Bush administration violated a court order by destroying Central Intelligence Agency interrogation videos of suspected terrorists.Click here for more from the Wall Street Journal.
U.S. District Judge Henry H. Kennedy rejected calls from the Justice Department to stay out of the matter. He ordered lawyers to appear before him Friday morning.
In June 2005, Judge Kennedy ordered the administration to safeguard "all evidence and information regarding the torture, mistreatment, and abuse of detainees now at the United States Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay."
Five months later, the CIA destroyed the interrogation videos."

“These cops got to stop this. They’re shooting people like crazy....”
Candlelight vigil for Khiel Coppin - I pray no-one ever has to do one of these for me!
I was gonna do a post about how f-cked up the NYPD was after the Khiel Coppin murder but never found the time to get to it. Then again after the one year anniversary of the Sean Bell shooting and the murder of David Kostovski with my angle being that, as a Black male in NYC, I am and have good reason to be scared of the NYPD, but again didn't get to it. But an incident that happened to me personally last Friday night sealed the deal and prompted me to finally write this post and stop wasting my time with the usual BS about mp3's, mixtapes, new videos, sneakers, George Bush and Iraq until I got this off my chest.
So I'm about to walk the one block to my apartment from the subway after hanging out for a bit with some co-workers after our annual office holiday party. It's about 1:30am and as I come out of the station I see an NYPD van parked in the middle of the road with a bunch of cops around it and one white civilian woman. I briefly make eye contact with the woman and glance at some of the cops but keep walking without paying any of them any particular mind. As I approach the gate to my apartment complex though I notice the van has passed me by and is now right outside my building with the cops all coming out of it. "What's going on?" I wonder but just as I'm about to go to put the key in the gate to my apartment, they call out to me:
"Excuse me sir, where are you coming from?"
"From the city," I reply confused.
"Where exactly?
"From Lafayette and Canal."
Now I'm getting nervous and stuttering 'cos literally five or six HUGE cops are now surrounding me and towering over my skinny ass. I could barely remember the info I just gave them and am kicking myself cos, if they start asking me more detailed questions, I don't even know the name of the bar I've just been hanging out in for the past hour even though I even had the flyer in my back pocket (as I discovered later). I hadn't done anything wrong but I felt nervous, jumpy and guilty just having these dudes looking at me like I'm some kind of a suspect.
"Can we see some ID? There's been a crime reported in the area."
Now I'm kicking myself again 'cos I'm not even sure of what my rights are in a situation like this and whether I can refuse to give them my ID but I'm starting to resent their attitude and wondering exactly how many white dudes they've been stopping and questioning on the street during the course of their 'investigation.'
At this point one of the cops (Black by the way) is writing my info in his notepad, or at least pretending to write something down. "What are they gonna do with my information?" I wonder absent-mindedly. It's getting cold standing out there so I try to put my hands in my pockets to keep them warm 'cos I don't have any gloves on.
"Excuse sir, can you keep your hands visible? For officer safety, you understand?"
Officer safety??!!! You gotta be kidding me! Y'all are the ones killing defenseless Black men on a regular basis, not the other way around. At this point I can't even look at them I'm so disgusted at the accusatory looks and hostility they are all throwing my way. I mean, "Do I really look like the suspect they're allegedly after or even a suspect of any kind... that might have a gun?" I scream out in my mind. I get depressed considering what their answer might have been if I'd asked that out loud. They hand me back my license and are on their way. Maybe they said good night, I don't know or remember - I wanted to get inside so quick I wasn't even processing what was going on by this point - I just wanted it to be over. I was inside my apartment a good 1/2 hour before I even felt calm enough to go tell my roommate (my sister) what had happened.
In the grand scheme of things this was a small incident some might say but I was left feeling about this small: humiliated, angry and powerless. This wasn't the first time something like this has happened to me but it was the first time I really got a sense of how, if I was different kind brother, in a different part of town who looked a little different than how I usually do, things could have ended in a different, much worse way. I felt so angry at how I was being treated that I wanted to hit one of them in frustration even though I knew that that was the worst of all the bad ideas I could have had at that time. It's a short jump of barely a couple hours from being someone who's celebrating the end of a successful professional year and some great news I got last week with friends & colleagues at a holiday party to being driven into the kind of rage that could have got me killed if I hadn't played it cool. I'm a smart, educated and generally articulate dude but these guys intimidated me into not even being able to defend myself verbally and I hated them and myself for letting them do that.
The scary thing though is that stuff like this or even worse or more disrespectful, happens to people who look like me probably countless times every day without anyone taking notice. Yet everyone acts shocked when another shooting or murder that does make the headlines or the top of the news show leads to the kind of outrage in the black community you saw around the Amadou Diallo, Sean Bell and Khiel Coppin murders and wonder where it comes from. Just don't be surprised if the next time that N.W.A classic comes on, you hear me yelling FUCK (NO edits this time around) the Police! and really mean it based on my own little personal experience and not just from an academic, theoretical or faux sense of outrage. And God bless Al Sharpton. I don't give a fuck what people say about him - he may not be always right or totally sincere but he's out there calling these cops out on their f-ckery, fighting the good fight for those that can't defend themselves and giving a voice to those who aren't heard when they try to speak for themselves.

Breaking news: Pimp C passed away this morning
TMZ.com is breaking the story but I have it on good authority that this terrible news is sadly true. R.I.P. my brother....
UPDATE...
Jive Records Statement:
It is with great sadness that Jive Records announces the passing of Chad "Pimp C" Butler, a member of the celebrated rap duo UGK (Underground Kingz). Jive Records' President and CEO Barry Weiss states: "We mourn the unexpected loss of Chad. He was truly a thoughtful and kind-hearted person. He will be remembered for his talent and profound influence as a pioneer in bringing southern rap to the forefront. He will be missed and our prayers remain with his family and Bun B. I've known Chad since he was 18, and we loved him dearly and he was a cherished member of the Jive family."
Born in Port Arthur, Texas, Butler's father was a trumpet player who played professionally with Solomon Burke. Outside of his father, the 33-year old rapper's influences varied, ranging from Bobby Bland, Jimmy McGriff, the 1960's Motown artists to Run DMC. Butler met his inseparable partner Bernard "Bun B" Freeman in high school where they formed UGK. In 1992, the duo signed to Jive Records and went on release a total of eight albums for the label. They earned their highest achievement earlier this year when their most recent album, UGK (Underground Kingz), debuted in the number one position on the album pop chart. According to the New York Times, UGK "helped inspire a generation of Southern hip-hop stars, from OutKast to Lil Wayne."
Bun B is not available for comment at this time.
