Epic Win of the Day: MC Hammer Returns In Politics
MC HAMMER CONTINUES TO WIN.
HA! History is being made and I didn’t even know about it. Ed Lee is the first Asian American mayor of San Francisco – history! But, here is the catch, he is running for an election bid and he’s got a friend in MC Hammer. Hammer is in this retooling of his hit song “2 Legit 2 Quit” from back in the day. Well, this video also features a bunch of people like Will.i.am, San Francisco Giants pitcher Brian Wilson, Google’s Marissa Mayer, and Biz Stone, the co-founder of Twitter. Anyway, if you look really close, you will see illseed too. I support anybody with the last name Lee. LOL! Hammer also recently announced the launch of a search engine to compete with Google. The nuts on this guy! Pause! Here’s WireDoo.
Here is the video:
For those not around in the 90’s, here is the original.
Damn, right James Brown and Alf were both in that bish.
MC Hammer Lashes Out At Police Over Occupy Oakland Arrests
(AllHipHop News) Oakland, California native MC Hammer has spoken out against the police’s treatment of protesters supporting the Occupy Wall Street movement in Oakland.
According to reports, a number of demonstrators and police were involved in skirmishes near Frank Ogala Plaza at City Hall, where police fired tear gas to disperse the crowd.
Over 100 people were arrested during the clashes that took place throughout the day yesterday (October 25).
“The unabated abuse of the PEOPLE can never be tolerated!,” MC Hammer tweeted early this morning. “They were expressing systemic frustration and pain, peacefully. You knew this would happen. You cannot eliminate the middle class and expect quiet resolution.”
The police established their presence the previous evening on Tuesday, when officers raided the Occupy Oakland campground on Frank Ogala Plaza at City Hall, drawing criticism.
Oakland’s internal police chief Howard Jordan defended the tactics, which included the use of tear gas and beanbag rounds to disperse a crowd of about 1,000, some of whome claimed police actually used rubber bullets.
“We deployed it to effect an arrest because some officers were being pelted with rocks and bottles,” Oakland’s interim Police Chief Howard Jordan told local CBS Channel 5 in San Francisco.
According to legendary Hip-Hop journalist and longtime Oakland resident, Davey D. who was present, the protests remained calm in the face of the police, who donned riot gear.
“With all the tear gas canisters and I counted 6 rounds tonight, folks have remained relatively chill,” Davey D. tweeted.
Two officers suffered from minor injuries in the scuffles, including several who had allegedly been shot at with paintball guns and other items by the crowd, who had been in the plaza for almost two weeks.
Police officers were ordered to break up the gathering on Tuesday, when they stormed the area, to break up the Occupy Wall Street protests, which are rallying around the country, against economic injustice and corporate greed.
“The unification of the poor, the underserved and the middle class has begun,” Hammer tweeted. “The forgone conclusion is at hand.”

Black Eyed Peas Win Copyright Lawsuit Over “Boom Boom Pow”
(AllHipHop News) The Black Eyed Peas have emerged victorious in a copyright lawsuit against a singer who claimed that the group stole their hit song “Boom Boom Pow.”
Last week, The Peas, Interscope and others named in the lawsuit won group a summary judgment in the lawsuit, which was originally filed by Phoenix Phenom in January of 2010.
Phoenix Phenom, born Ebony Latrice Batts, claimed that the Black Eyed Peas stole her copyrighted song “Boom Dynamite,” after her track was submitted to Interscope Records.
One year later, the songwriters were shocked to hear “Boom Boom Pow,” which they claimed was too similiar to their own song “Boom Dynamite.”

The judge believed that a jury would conclude that the two tracks were not similar enough to warrant the lawsuit.

(AllHipHop News) Baton Rouge, Louisiana based rapper Webbie took time to clarify his recent rumored banning from BET, his relationship with Rocsi and his disagreement with Terrence J on a recent airing on 106 & Park.
Webbie called into WGCI’s 107.5, and spoke to Tony Sculfield and The Morning Riot.
Webbie explained his stance on the episode, when fans were told by Terrence J that Webbie was banned from BET and that he would no longer be allowed to be on the show.
“It ain’t nothing against me and BET. BET, I love BET, I’ve been watching BET all my life. I am BET, BET is black entertainment, you know what I’m saying?” Webbie explained to the morning show.”That was some personal stuff, you know with Rocsi and Terrence you know, that’s his old lady I guess. Go look at the computer, look at the Vibe Magazine and that’s what happened.”

I make sure to say stay in school.

Despite the fact that Lil’ Boosie is facing the death penalty, Webbie maintained that Boosie is” coming home soon.”
Hundreds Of Students Call On Kanye West To Speak Out Against Immigration Bill
(AllHipHop News) Almost 1,000 students have signed an online petition that is calling upon rap star Kanye West to speak out against Alabama’s new immigration law.
Kanye is currently in Birmingham, Alabama, where he is spending the month preparing for his “Watch the Throne” tour with Jay-Z.
The students are signing the petition on Change.org, in hopes of getting the superstar rap artist to meet with Civil Rights leaders, politicians and other influential individuals in Alabama, about HB 56.
The controversial bill has been labeled as supporting some of the most extreme anti-immigration legislation in the country.
The petition, which currently has 797 signatures, was organized by William Anderson, a student at University of Alabama Birmingham, as well as a longtime fan Kanye West.
“Like thousands of Kanye fans, I grew up listening to Hip-Hop, and it was one of the things that shaped my consciousness about race and justice,” said William Anderson, who launched the campaign on Change.org. “Alabama’s new immigration law is an attack on the state’s citizens, documented and undocumented. In the spirit of the social justice and hip hop, I hope that Kanye listens to his fans and takes a few minutes to learn and educate others about the crisis that is happening in Alabama.”
Kanye West has yet to respond and he will only be in Alabama until October 28.
