Participants can attend discussions on producer branding, management, A&R meeting simulations, studio techniques, networking/brand building strategies, songwriter-producer synergy, sampling, and live mixing sessions. The iStandard Producer Showcase, Celebrity Beat Cyphers, and Impromptu Beat Battles are also scheduled to take place at evening Beat Camp.

“Attendance at ‘Beat Camp’ is a perfect first-step for artists, producers, and music business professionals who want to turbocharge their careers,” says Campus Director of SAE Institute Los Angeles Bridget Gardiner.

"The Trials Of Muhammad Ali" Director Bill Siegel Talks About His New Documentary

(AllHipHop News) Filmmaker Bill Siegel (Hoop Dreams) wants to keep the important legacy of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali alive. Siegel’s new documentary The Trials Of Muhammad Ali takes an intimate look at “The Greatest Of All Time” including his connection to the Nation of Islam and his refusal to fight in Vietnam.

Life and Times interviewed Siegel to discuss why he chose to cover Ali and some of the people he interviewed for the movie like Minister Louis Farrakhan, his then-wife Khalilah Camacho-Ali, and his brother Rahman Ali.

I really wanted to limit the number of interviewees to an intimate group of people who were there: eyewitness, firsthand story tellers who were with Ali; his brother, his wife at the time… Those people’s stories and perspectives hadn’t been included in most Ali treatments, and certainly not collectively the way they are in this film.

According to Siegel, this was the first time Farrakhan had ever done an interview talking about Ali. The sit-down lasted an hour. The Nation of Islam ended up playing a significant role in the film. Siegel feels that the NOI has been treated as a “footnote” in history, but calls them “remarkable” and wanted to explore their world view.

He expresses a similar opinion about Ali as regards to his place in history beyond his athletic accomplishments.

I think that [particular] Muhammad Ali, over time, has become increasingly forgotten, overlooked or undiscovered by generations coming of age now. If I could do anything to help rectify that and bring the righteous, humane, incredible beyond-the-ring back to the consciousness, I wanted to do that. That’s why I made the film.

(AllHipHop News) In a move that both satisfies a contractual obligation and symbolizes the passing of the torch, Jay Z is reportedly selling his share in the Brooklyn Nets to its new head coach, Jason Kidd.

InsideHoops reported that, Mr. Carter sold his .067 percent stake in the team for about $500,000.

Jay Z more than likely  did not sell his stake to make a quick half mill but to comply with the NBA stipulation that an owner of an NBA team can not also represent players. Jay Z started his sports agency, Roc Nation and has already signed the second best basketball player in the NBA in Kevin Durant along with New York Yankees All Star second baseman Robinson Cano.

Jason Kidd also spent seven accomplished years with the New Jersey Nets from 2001 to 200, reaching the NBA Finals in 2002 and 2003.

Police: Guns And Drugs Found On 2Chainz Tour Bus

Preferred Source Publisher Button>

(AllHipHop News) Things just got realer for rapper 2Chainz, as police alleged that they found firearms and drugs on a tour bus that was impounded two weeks ago in Oklahoma City.

Official documents charge that the vehicle turned up two semi-automatic pistols, a 12-gauge pump shotgun, marijuana and prescription painkillers. A report from TMZ said that the rapper’s bus was pulled over because of a broken tail light but quickly authorities alleged they smelled marijuana.

As previously reported, 2Chainz refused to let the police on board and was subsequently arrested, along with others. The rapper tweeted about it as well, “This sh*t will make u go crazy, our bus gets pulled 1 a week and they always say I smell weed I need to search ur bus. Sh* gets tiring.”

Two weeks later, the police also say they found marijuana paraphernalia like grinders, pipes, rolling papers as well as Hydrocodone and Flexeril, a semi-auto Sig Sauer SP2340 pistol, a Mossberg model 500 12-gauge pump-action shotgun, and a semi-auto Glock pistol.

In an interview with Peter Bailey on NBC’s “NiteCap,” the rapper pleaded his case without incriminating himself.

“It takes up a lot of time and money from taxpayers who are the actually entertainers. At the end of the day we’re supposed to be kind of on the same team. I’m not a bad guy. I’m only in town to entertain people. Once they know I’m not trying to excite riots. I’m not trying to be disrespectful. I’m only trying to feed my family and entertain.”

2Chainz has not commented on the latest allegations.

Epic Fail Of The Day: Fool Rapes Woman And Gets A Shocker From Police!

Rape is wrong and one morally reprehensible sin. But, there is another reason for rapists not to rape: you may rape somebody that has something you don’t want. Take Richard Thomas for example. This fool went and raped a poor woman who is unnamed. Sadly, this woman was sleeping in her bed to wake up to Thomas raping her from behind. He pleaded guilty, but found out that his victim was HIV-positive. Guess what this dude does…he fainted in the presence of police when they told him. The dummy did the deed when he was high on coke and E. There you go…smh. Stop the foolishness. He’ll get his test results in the next week or so.

This happened in the UK, by the way.
