There were six suspects altogether that were arrested by the Charlotte police for the shooting. Each have been charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery using a deadly weapon and two felonies for shooting property that is occupied. All are being held on a $200,000 bond.

One of the arrested suspects is Antonio Stukes, who is an aspiring rapper. He was shot in the shoulder by one of Waka’s security guards. But according to Stukes, he was an innocent bystander that got shot in the crossfire (this is what he told WCNC), and that he was trying to give a demo CD to Waka Flocka Flame.

“We are pleased with the attentiveness by the Charlotte Police Department in capturing these individuals in such a timely manner. It is such a shame that one would risk the lives of innocent women and children in hopes of stealing one’s jewelry,” said Kali Bowyer, Waka’s publicist.

Walking around with million dollar jewelry isn’t always a good idea, no matter how much security you have. When you get in the spotlight, and you flash your expensive things, you can’t be surprised when someone tries to take it from you. Luckily, no one was hurt in this unfortunate event.

“I had to learn to write and rap again, and I had to do it sober and 100 percent clean,” Em said in regards to his fifth studio album Recovery. “That didn’t feel good at first … I mean it in the literal sense. I actually had to learn how to say my lyrics again; how to phrase them, make them flow, how to use force so they sounded like I meant them.”

The symbolic meaning of the necklace is this — the triangle represents the three parts of the program, unity, recovery and service. Then the circle represents the sense of wholeness as a person, while being enrolled in the AA program.

Eminem did a great performance as well, so if you missed it or want to see it again, check it out below.

They reviewed early hip hop videos and liked how they weren’t created with few resources — they mostly used their environment and surroundings; the textures and shapes. In the video Rihanna is wearing an eye patch and heels, giving a hard-edge feel to he usual glam self. Some of the videos that inspired her featured artists like Wu-Tang, Mobb Deep and Nas. The words behind the song were carefully thought up in order to create the same image audio-wise: aggressive bravado. Rihanna is a young artist that is always pushing boundaries. She has changed her identity so many times, so you never know what she’ll come up with next. She is a true artist, someone that knows how to transform the picture and make it into anything she wants to portray.

But this isn’t the only hip hop artist that thinks this way. Others like Nas, Twista and Common have the same views. They all condemn the “culture of violence” hip hop has established and is believed to have led the group of teenage gang members to commit that horrendous crime that day. Lupe also argues that the artists themselves are partially responsible for inciting various influences, from poverty to violent films. It’s true that hip hop does have some positive songs and messages out there, but the negative far outweigh the good. And the negativity in hip hop is a lot more popular because it is considered more “hard” or “gansta”. The communities are too at fault for taking hip hop too seriously and trying to implement them into their own lives.

Many of the young people that attended the Centennial were eager for the event, but didn’t really hold plans for the future events involving the NAACP. One young lady in particular said that she appreciated what the past generations had done for the Black community, but there was a need to focus on today’s problems, such as teen drop-outs, pregnancy rates, gun violence, STIs and education. More young people today are beginning to take notice and concern for their communities and are looking to take action. The NAACP could take advantage of this by holding more events for the youth. Last year, there was a controversial election held for the NACCP’s next president. The young and old were divided, but eventually the youngest president in the history of the NAACP was chosen — a 30-something year old scholar from Rhodes, named Benjamin Todd Jealous.

Some of the dances you will find there include poppin and lockin and break dancing. If you aren’t familiar with the dance group, you may have seen them on the 106 & Park’s Wild Out Wednesday dance competitions back in 2006. You can call that episode their lucky break because since then they have been quite busy dancing all over the place. This event sounds like it’ll be a lot of fun, so it’s definitely something you should try to get to. It’s a family event — kids, adults and teens can all enjoy this hip hop festival. You can check in your area to see if and when they will be coming to a town near you.

The Raiders, on the other end, picked Darius Heyward-Bey as their number 7 pick. DHB is a slim guy, but boy is he fast. Owner Al Davis loves fast runners and would likely take his chances on any guy with a quick sprint. Then the New York Jets made bold moves by trading up to 12 spots and picked USC quarterback Mark Sanchez. The Raiders are really banking on Sanchez to bring them up in the leagues.

The last pick of the drafts, winner of Mr. Irrelevant title and prior South Carolina kicker, was Ryan Succop, who was selected by Kansas City.

So far, Cleveland destroyed Detroit, which is a bit odd since Detroit made the conference finals six years in a row. This year, they were sent home during the first round of the series. Now, we just have to sit and wonder if this city will ever re-establish their winning ways…

Atlanta vs. Miami, this is a tie with each winning 2 games in the series so far. Superstar D. Wade was injured last season, but now he is shining ever so brightly with his notable defense skills. He’s runner up for MVP and personally, I think he should win — not only because I’m a Floridian, but because he really deserves it. If you compare D Wade to Lebron James, you’ll take notice that Wade carries his team. Without Wade, the Heat wouldn’t have made it to the playoffs. Cleveland on the other hand can make it to the play offs without Lebron James.

On the other end, you find the Bulls giving the Celtics a run for their money and I don’t blame them! Last year the Celtics was last year’s champions at the playoffs. The bulls had a great advantage because of the Celtics’ star player, Kevin Garnett, being out on injury. Since Jordan left the scene, Chicago hasn’t really had any home name stars, but there is potential in Derrick Rose. He’s young and he’s hip…but will he live up to the hype?

Back in the 90s and early Millennial years, Trick Daddy was the Miami King, throwing out hot tracks that echoed in clubs all over the nation. He fell out for a while and now maybe he’s trying to make a comeback by downing the newly crowned South Florida King. Who knows? Now, we’ll just have to wait and see who will come out on top. We’ll keep an eye and ear out for news about the beef between the two — so make sure to check back and stay tuned.
