Video: David Banner on the postponement of today's "Something is Wrong" Rally & Video shoot
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
David Banners Heal the Hood Foundation & 247HH.com postpones “Something’s Wrong” Community Rally to Mid November in hopes of greater support to combat Violence in Chicago
October 19th, 2009 (Chicago, IL) Due to the overwhelming response, safety issues and the unexpected anticipated number of attendance, “Something’s Wrong,” community rally has been postponed to mid-November.
The event was expected to attract 500-700 attendees but superseded the expectation in such a short time frame. Other issues that involved certain people within community organizations and activists sparked major open dialogue among the participating Chicago celebrities and artists including Twista, Malik Yusef, Naledge, Tiffany of Bad Girls Club, J-Niice (B-96), to go back to the drawing board and gather a greater support through out the City of Chicago, major corporations and as well as major community influences.
Founder of Heal The Hood Foundation David Banner, responded saying, “this is a movement not to condemn kids or any organizations but the safety of the kids is my biggest concern, we want to stay on task and continue what we’ve started, we want everyone to have the opportunity to contribute.”
The major influence of this event has ignited a call to action, in gathering suggestions in how to move forward. An email and website will be setup for input, ideas and linkages for organizations, activists, the city of Chicago, students and parents to get involved and create a greater perspective and unity within Chicago.
All suggestions, comments and concerns can be addressed and emailed to: supportsomethingiswrong@gmail.com

"October 17th, 2009 (Chicago, IL) Due to the recent brutal murder of Derrion Albert, which attracted worldwide press, and the more than 150 homicides in Chicago since the beginning of the year (Chicago Breaking News) major recording artists David Banner, Rhymefest, Naledge (from Kidz In The Hall), Skooda Chose, and producer 9th Wonder have united to raise awareness of the epidemic of violence among urban youth within Chicago by organizing an Anti-Violence rally. Additionally, the rally will serve as a creative canvas backdrop for the video shoot and release of the song “Something’s Wrong.”
On Tuesday, October 20th, 2009, at George’s Music Room, located at 3915 West Roosevelt Rd - shoot time starts at 6:00 am. In attendance will be family members and friends of the victims of violence, Chicago Public School students, community organizations, churches, politicians and local residents.

I've been saying it for years and I'ma stay screaming it: Rhymefest is criminally underrated. Why is he so slept on by hip hop fans? (Now his twitter updates on the other hand....)

New video: The Alchemist feat. Maxwell & Twista - “Smile”
One question: where's Maxwell?? Somehow I knew he wouldn't be in the video. I'm actually shocked he's even on the track, frankly. My other thoughts? Doesn't this sound like the kind of track UGK would spit on? Speaking of spit, I'm not saying he can't, but I've never been a fan of Twista. Dunno what it is. This track is no different....
