From Jay Arias:

Good Day,

As you probably know I have a friend that was put into a coma on December 25, 2007. Many of you have inquired of his condition via email, in person & some have called. I want to let those know I really appreciate your thoughtful words & concerns but this battle is still going. Unfortunately he is still in coma & it has really bothered me that I can’t do anything physically for him but continue to pray & affirm his quick recovery. My friend Amber mentioned a few weeks back to gather all his friends & family on a certain day & time for prayer but this is not easy due to everyone’s schedule. After some careful thought I want to make Tuesday, January 29, 2008 THE DARIUS MILLER & FAMILY NATIONAL PRAYER DAY.I know most on my list do not know him but I ask you join us because prayer is real. Despite your religion prayer never fails. I ask everyone that reads this please forward to your family, friends & coworkers. Life is real people. It will only take about 60 seconds of your time tomorrow.

Thank you in advance,

Jay Arias

Lol @ Billary Clinton saying Barack Obama won the South Carolina primaries because he’s black. Yet some of you will still say she’s not a racist.

Thanks to loyal reader Elizabeth for the link!

Chuck D – ’10-15 Buzzards Control Hip Hop’

Former Public Enemy front man Chuck D released a venomous response to the news that Universal Records would not be replacing ousted president Jay Z with him or anyone else. “Its sort of expected, and a primary reason why the music business has collapsed,” said Chuck D.

Chuck D placed the blame for the demise of Hip Hop squarely on the shoulders of 10-15 “buzzards” who are “trusted” by the clan of execs who really run Hip Hop (Jews and Israelis). In his statement, Chuck D went further calling the inner circle of usual suspects “incestuous.”

The same thing that happened to MOTOWN is DEF JAM’s fate. In my opinion, the fact that 10 -15 individuals in the guise of hovering buzzards are given keys to the culture based on their alliances with these corporations, is a partial reason for the troubled condition it’s in. Hence music, and especially this urban, black, whatever you wanna call it, is an incestuous inner circle of usual suspects that are financially trusted over black culture by a select ‘other few.’ It’s evident that we are not the same people.

Chuck D didn’t name the 10-15 “buzzards” who are eating off the rotting flesh of Hip Hop, so I decided to give it a crack myself:

  1. JAY Z
  2. SEAN COONS, SEAN JOHN, PUFF, or whatever the hell he’s calling himself these days
  3. RUSSELL SIMMONS
  4. LA REID
  5. CHRIS LIGHTY
  6. 50 CENT
  7. IRV GOTTI
  8. JIMMY “HENCHMEN” ROSEMOND
  9. SNOOP DOGG
  10. KEVIN LILES
  11. WYCLEF JEAN
  12. NAS
  13. PHARREL WILLIAMS
  14. DRE 3000
  15. KANYE WEST

Universal decides NOT to replace Jay Z

As I told you earlier, there will be no replacement for Jay Z at Def Jam. You read this here first because, as you know, the same industry people who work closely with Jay are loyal Sandrarose.com fans who whisper in my ear on the low low.

The move not to replace Jay Z is “disappointing,” according to Chuck D who (lol) thought he was in line for the position. Island Records president of Urban Music Jermaine Dupri who was out of the country when Chuck D released his statement, was also rumored to get the top job.

The reality is L.A. Reid decided not to replace Jay Z with his arch nemesis Damon Dash because Jay’s fragile ego couldn’t take the resulting snickers from the industry – and L.A. needs Jay in his corner – so this might end up being a sound business decision for all involved.

Is Hillary Clinton a racist?

Is Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton a racist? The answer to that question depends on who you ask. Hillary would probably say no, but her history of verbal mishaps tell a different story.

Senator Clinton was roundly criticized in 2004 when she joked that Mahatma Gandhi used to run a gas station in St. Louis. She later apologized, saying it was “a lame attempt at humor.” Clinton drew similar criticism 2 years ago when she told a mostly black audience at a Harlem church that Republican leaders ran the House “like a plantation”. Again, she apologized, sort of.

Clinton recently came under fire again when comments she made appeared to diminish the contributions Martin Luther King Jr. made to the civil rights era. Her aides expressed outrage at the media for even suggestion Hillary is a racist. But is Hillary really that clueless and do we really want another openly racist president in the White House?

The fact that Hillary is married to the honorary first black president of the Untied States hasn’t helped her case with the black community. Especially since now it seems her husband Bill might be a closet racist himself. To many blacks who supported Bill Clinton through two elections, that revelation is a bitter pill to swallow.

Britney hearing voices?

According to a local producer who was tapped to produce tracks on Britney Spears‘ new CD, Britney is hearing voices. The producer who has worked with some of the biggest name in the business is telling friends that the scheduled studio sessions with Britney are canceled indefinitely.

“Britney has some serious problems. It’s worse than what you think,” said a source in the producer’s camp. “She’s hearing voices. That’s why she has a British accent now. She’s not just playing crazy.”

The source revealed Britney recently made several visits to Atlanta to work on tracks with the well known producer.

The source also said Britney believes she’s possessed by a British princess whose spirit has taken over Britney’s body.

Heath Ledger’s masseuse called Olsen four times

According to the AP, the masseuse who found Heath Ledger‘s body called his girlfriend Mary-Kate Olsen a total four times – not twice as was widely reported by the media.

Masseuse Diana Wolozin spent nine minutes, making three phone calls to Olsen – and waiting more than a minute between each call – before ever dialing 911, then called Olsen a fourth time after paramedics arrived at Ledger’s New York apartment, the AP reports.

Wolozin first called Olsen on Ledger’s own phone using the speed dial after the masseuse was unable to wake up the actor.

The additional calls were discovered when police took a closer look at phone records, according to AP.
