Some N.J. schools ban students from wearing hoods

With 1/3 of American High School kids dropping out, this is supposed to be "innovative policy".  All this does is create a game of cat and mouse. Us versus them. I'm watching this one guys.  This is really profiling, or class warfare.  Not feeling this.

T-KID!

My man Ket is doing an exhibition this Tuesday, September 23rd at 7pm.  As part of the launch of this year's Hip Hop Theatre Festival he is previewing a new exhibition that he co-curated along with Joshua Ivory. It is a project that celebrates the roots and pioneers of the aerosol art movement. It is a private event, I beleive.

Artists featured are:
Part , Chain 3, Riff 170, T-Kid 170, Fuzz One, Tack, Butch 2, Peso 131, and Noc 167.

He sent me this T-Kid flick.

Wow. I just had a flashback.

This is the cover art I did ...damn a long time ago for the first "official" Lyricist Lounge album.  Tash, Mos Def and Q-Tip single.

$ynical about Politician$?

My man sent me this link.  We are all entitled I suppose.  

The richest politician is "Jane Harman (D-Calif)" with a max net worth of 596mil. I never heard of her, honestly.

peep opensecrets.

John Kerry is surprisingly 3rd at 313mil

G W. Bush is way down there at 20mil.  Makes sense.

Compared to Cheney at 100mil and 13th overall...scary ...NUMBER 13...
