By: Tanay Hudson (@NYStateOfMind2)Category: News

New York City has settled the Eric Garner case with his family, USA Today reports. On Monday (July 13), the decision was made to pay the family a sum of $5.9 million, though the family originally sued for $75 million.  The family rejected a payout of $5 million last week and the city has until July 17th, the one year anniversary of Garner’s death, to settle the case before the family filed a lawsuit.

The Garner family will be leading a rally on Saturday (July 18) in front of the Brooklyn office of the U.S Attorney in efforts to call for a federal case to be brought against the officers involved in Garner’s death.

Garner was killed on July 17th, 2014 after NYPD officer David Pantaleo put him in an illegal chokehold while other officers wrestled him to the ground. Garner repeated ” I can’t breathe” as officers restrained him but his pleas for help were ignored. His death was ruled a homicide by a medical examiner but a Staten Island jury refused to indict officer Pantaleo.

By: Tanay Hudson (@NYStateOfMind2)Category: Music News

With the N.W.A biopic’s, Straight Outta Compton, release a month away, details have emerged about the film’s soundtrack. The film’s director, F. Gary Gray, revealed that the soundtrack will feature Kendrick Lamar, Eminem and show Dr. Dre’s musical growth.

“He went deep and you can hear some of his influences, with jazz and soul and a little bit of funk. And Kendrick Lamar is on, Eminem; a lot of great guest stars,” Gray told MTV News. “But it’s really Dre and how he’s evolved and how he’s matured as not only a person, but as an artist. It’s deep and it’s great.”

Gray also teased that the Straight Outta Compton flick will give a detailed look into the N.W.A member’s lives that they can’t get elsewhere.

“The details, the stories, the authenticity that you get and you can draw from these guys, it goes beyond googling what happened in the Death Row days or googling what happened when the group broke up,” he said. “And I think that’s what people want to see.”

Straight Outta Compton hits theaters Aug. 14th. No word on the soundtrack’s release date.

Tragedy ft KRS-One & A.G. “Modern Day Gangsta”

By: Jake CratesCategory: Music

Three of Hip Hop’s luminaries combine over baneful strings delivered in a landscape of energy by producer Stricknine (MF Grimm, Thirstin Howl, Blaq Poet) to re-establish a message that is more relevant now than ever before, as this wake up call to the passive. Tragedy draws comparison between political domination and ruling in the streets, with the lyrical finesse of a veteran steeped in 30 years of Queensbridge history. KRS-One returns as ‘The Teacha,’ educating us on the infiltration of corporate America by gangster tacticians and A.G. characterizes one of the numerous victims of police murder with a sombre hostility that draws a firm line in the pavement.

50 Cent Explains Why He Filed For Bankruptcy

By: Tanay Hudson (@NYStateOfMind2)Category: News

With a hit song like “I Got Money” and a slew of business deals, 50 Cent filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (July  13) was a shock. While on a press run for his upcoming film, Southpaw (In Theaters July 24th, 2015), the Power star clarified why he filed.

“I’m taking the precautions that any other good businessperson would take in this situation,” he told E! News. “You know when you’re successful and stuff, you become a target. I don’t wanna be a bulls eye. I don’t want anybody to pick me as the guy that they just come to with astronomical claims and go through all that.”

After losing two lawsuits that are going to cost him a pretty penny, Fif is trying to get his monies in order.

“Walt Disney has filed bankruptcy. Donald Trump has filed bankruptcy,” he said. “It means you’re reorganizing your finances, but it does stop things from moving forward that you don’t want moving forward…I gotta descent legal team. You don’t have to worry.”

A judge ruled last week that the hip-hop mogul has to pay Lastonia Leviston, Rick Ross’ ex, $5 million after it was determined that he intentionally leaked a sextape of her and her ex-boyfriend. Fifty also lost another lawsuit to Sleek Audio after it was ruled that he stole a headphone design from them and had to dish out $17.2 million.

Although Ciara basically said Future didn’t deserve a response, she still gave him one with her recent subliminal tweets. Ciara said a certain person was so ignorant and dishonest that they didn’t deserve a response. She also said one’s main focus should be on being a good parent. This all seems to follow Future’s recent interview with The Huffinton Post where he stated that the reason him and Ciara broke up was due to the couple growing a part and not due to him cheating. Future also said that God didn’t tell him to practice abstinence with Ciara. These celebs have to be careful with who they choose to date and have kids with.
