I had to hurry and find this online. Jay-Z & Alicia Keys performing "Empire State of Mind" at Game 2 of the World Series (Go Philly). A SIGNIFICANT moment for Hip-Hop and a highlight in the career of one of my favorite ARTIST (not just favorite rapper). My only question is if they purposely had the echo?

BET Cypha - The Highlight of the Night
The BET Hip Hop Awards were good for something. I enjoy the cypha sessions they have on the awards because it shows that BET cares (slightly) about the art of Hip-Hop. Nicki Minaj is kinda cold, much better than I expected. I'm glad that they had Joe Budden and Buckshot involved.
If this doesn't help you remember why Eminem is a great, nothing will. Also, Black Thought went IN!!!

TV Pick: Gangland 3/2/09 - History Channel
I like hood shit.
I also like Detroit history and documentaries. So the upcoming Gangland episode featuring Detroit's notorious Best Friends gang is for me. In case you don't know about 1970s & 80s crime culture, the Best Friends gang were one of the most dangerous gangs in the Midwest and one of the largest cocaine importers in the country. At one point during their rein in the 1980s, the Detroit News labeled the gang as the "Kings of Crack".
The organization was the front line muscle for cocaine supplied by Richard "Maserati Rick" Carter and Demetrius Holloway.
The best friends gang was run by Rockin' Reg and Terry Brown throughout the 1980s. After years of being the muscle for Detroit hustlers, they branched out and became drug dealers themselves.
Running their operations under the McDonald’s fast-food business model, the group was able to expand their drug trafficking to over 50 cities nationwide.
“The Best Friends were responsible for the most contract murders in the city of Detroit since Al ‘Scarface’ Capone’s Detroit-based hit squad the Purple Gang,” the Gangland documentary states. “The Best Friends single-handedly turned Detroit into the Murder Capital of the United States.”
The Best Friends Gangland episode airs tonight on the History Channel at 9PM.
