This week’s Ferguson Report is considerably less about facts and eyewitnesses and more about rumors and conjecture. The fate of police officer Darren Wilson, the killer of unarmed teen Mike Brown, seems to be coming to an impasse. Our sources on the ground have suggested that 100 hotel rooms have been reserved locally for National Guard soldiers to come in to maintain “order” if it is determine that Wilson was not in the wrong for slaying Brown. That’s right folks, we do not expect and indictment of the police officer. There are allegedly tanks already being rolled in anticipation of riots and mass discord. Peep the tweets:
You got to follow the trajectory here…these are MILITARY issued vehicles and weaponry. They just issued to local police.
Next week Mike Brown’s parents and their attorney will travel with local community activists to Geneva to testify in front of the UN. This action will take place in front of the global community, all of which is listed at fergusontogeneva.org. Here is how Mike Brown’s family and supporters feel:
We are ready to take our case before the global community.
In the absence of justice from the local, state, and federal government, the family of Michael Brown and Ferguson protesters are ready to take our case before the global community. We have submitted a brief to the United Nations (UN), and we will formally present it on November 12th and 13th in Geneva, Switzerland. The goal is not only to achieve justice in Ferguson, but to unite governments around the world against the human rights violations that result from racial profiling and police violence.
Last week The UN Shadow Report was released. It states that police violence in the United States is a violation of human rights and gives a detailed outline of why Mike Brown’s murder and the excessive force used by police against protesters are violate the UN’s Convention Against Torture. Take that.
Tory Russell, a Hands Up United Organizer, closes this edition of The Ferguson Report with a personal narrative of all the struggle involved in organizing against oppression. No justice, no peace.
After eight straight weeks of protesting, marches, and organized actions of civil disobedience; we like the rest of the world anticipates the grand jury ruling in the case of Mike Brown Jr. Just in the last past week I’ve had six meetings with local and national people about what should be our response in either scenario. Even as I write this, I’m currently returning from Atlanta where I spoke to a couple of hundred activist and organizers about the many possibilities and talking points rather good or bad news lands on that day.
Like most I anticipate a non indictment just off of the lack of empathy from the Ferguson, St. Louis City, and St. Louis County police departments. Not a single demand from seventy odd days ago have fully been full filed or even addressed publicly in a meaningful way. Those lack of actions coinciding with lack true federal comment leaves many in the Ferguson movement not only scratching their heads but looking for the most simplest of reasons of why at least Darren Wilson hasn’t been arrested yet.
The truth of the matter is that the system is willing to crash and burn on the most minimal level for a police officer who killed a unarmed future college enrollee. Adding insult to injury the system is also ready to allow disruptions all of the country for that same killer. For most chess players this muffles the mind. There should be no way that you wouldn’t risk a pawn (Darren Wilson) so you can continue to dominate the board (America). The level of arrogance and narcissism must be at a all time high to believe that you can deploy troops and local police officers with war time weaponry live on MSNBC and get away with it is beyond me. This maybe the shot in the arm that folks needed. But hey, what do I know? I’m just an unemployed college dropout who lives in one of the poorest zip codes in Missour… I may not know much but I do know this. We fired up and can’t take it no more!

If you thought the mess from the LHHATL Reunion was done, think again.
Cast member Althea decided to press charges against the Puerto Rican Princess, and the NYPD have now put out a warrant for her arrest!
TMZ reports:
“Althea filed a police report, claiming Joseline was the instigator, and apparently the NYPD saw it Althea’s way … because there’s now an open case against Joseline. If she comes to NYC and gets pulled over or they spot her, she’ll be arrested for the alleged crime and possibly face charges.
Since the brawl … Benzino and Althea got the boot … and Althea filed suit against Joseline, claiming she was high on cocaine during the fight. She was served at her home last week.”
Welp Mona probably thought she was done hearing from Zino and TheaThea (is that how you spell it?) after kicking them off the show, but this may be the beginning of something else…JAILTIME for Joseline!
Lil’ B surprised us all when he went on a lecture tour and spoke in front of students from top universities like Virginia Tech and NYU. The Based God will now be stopping at the world’s top college, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to spread more wisdom later this month.
Yesterday he tweeted, “THE NEXT LIL B COLLEGE LECTURE WILL BE AT MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY !!!!! MIT COLLEGE!!!! NOV 21st 2014 !!! HISTORY!!! ”
The Bay Area emcee’s previous lectures were based on peace and love with bizarre quotes sprinkled in between. At his NYU talk back in 2012, he said things like “I’m out here trying to get my Mitt Romney on” and “Every single person you meet, look at them like a golden million dollar baby.”
Producer Hit-Boy sat down with Uncle Snoop for the latest GGN convo. After the beatmaker informed Snoop that he was the one that produced the smash hit “N—-s in Paris” for Kanye West and Jay Z, he revealed that that instrumental had went down a road of rejection.

Watch Hit-Boy talk about how he first got started in music, his HS87 team and Snoop’s reaction when Hit-Boy reveals that he has an uncle in the 80’s group Troop.

With clever references to Marvel super-heroes Niko once again doesn’t dissapoint as he delivers another solid offering. Checkout “Hero” after the jump and see why everybody needs a “Hero”.
I can’t even fathom that this is factual, but I will briefly entertain what the internet has to say. They are saying that 1) Cassie is pregnant. This is not really new. There was an assumption that Diddy was the dad. But… 2) The internet (for what that’s worth) is claiming that Diddy may not be the father.
Diddy would not permit such insolence! I doubt this is true, but people are going to talk.
Trina has a new single called “F–k Love” for a reason. During her visit to the Breakfast Club, the self-proclaimed baddest b—-h dished on her past relationships and was an open book when discussing the matters of her heart.
On French Montana
When discussing French, Trina clarified that they were not in a relationship, but gave us an idea of what kind of friend she was to the “Don’t Panic” rapper.
“The friend that I still have the keys to your house right now till this day. That kind of friend. Your Instagram, everything you post from your house, how it looks, I did that. The friend that sends, imports stuff, furniture, all kinds of stuff from Miami to New York, I did that. That kind of friend.”
On Her Single, “F—k Love”
“Tory Lanez is from Toronto. He came to Miami. We cut a bunch of records. That was one of the last records we did actually…I’m not anti-love. The song was not really about ‘oh I don’t wanna be in love because I hate it’. I love love.”
Trina says her sixth album is coming next year. Watch the convo below where she dishes on her past relationship Kenyon Martin, being engaged to Lil’ Wayne and more.
That’s crazy that Jay idolizes Jean-Michel Basquiat so much, right? You know what’s even crazier? We caught a whiff of a rumor that the son of the famed street artist is a rapper on the low low!
What do you think?
Here is his rumored rapper son…TM 88.

So is that 50 in the background cheering his girl on or nah?
Knicks guard Iman Shumpert has decided to blow off some steam, but not on the basketball court. This morning he released a diss track titled “#HowtoHate” and called out Power 105. 1’s The Breakfast Club hosts Charlamagne tha God and DJ Envy.
On the song he raps, “Tell Charlamagne when he see him me he better holla at me…hater/Envy better holla at me/I don’t do the fake s###/I bet they listen when it buzz and they name in it.”
The Chicago native told TMZ that he is sick and tired of Charlamagne and Envy saying reckless things and claiming that it’s for the sake of their job.
“I feel that when cameras are rolling Charlamagne and Envy will say anything for ratings and then behind the scenes will try and whisper that it’s just a job and they don’t mean any harm. But they stated some things on the radio that I felt were detrimental to my brand so I will defend my brand.”
The 24-year-old said he wrote the song for people who throw shade at celebrities and expect them to take the high road.
“Well this song is letting everyone know that even though I’m a celeb. I’m a real person that likes to have a solid understanding of respect in any relationship that I have with another person.”
Charlamagne is aware of the track and has been retweeting news stories with responses, saying he’s “harmless” and “Everybody Hates Charlamagne.”
(AllHipHop News) If you ask Hip Hop fans which 2010’s emcee has the best musical catalog, it would not be surprising to hear Big K.R.I.T.’s name come up several times. Despite the love the self-described new “King of the South” gets from die-hard fans of the culture, he has yet to gain significant mainstream attention like some of his peers.
During an interview with Montreality, K.R.I.T. was asked if he felt he was underrated as compared to acts like Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole. The Mississippi-bred performer suggested his origins may play a part in why he has not reached the level of commercial success of K. Dot or Cole.
“I learned that I’m always gonna have to prove myself musically,” said K.R.I.T. “It might be cause of where I’m from. It’s still kind of hard for people to believe that it’s so much music or lyricism that can come from a place like Mississippi, based off of what they’ve been told or taught about Mississippi.”
The creator of the recently released Cadillactica album stated he is on a mission to prove there is positive music and culture coming out of the Deep South. K.R.I.T. also added that he has a great chance to have a long career, because he has certain skills that other rappers do not possess.
“The difference between me and a lot of these artists is that I can produce, not only for myself, but for other people,” K.R.I.T. explained. “I write all my lyrics. I don’t really need a writer. I mix all my own s**t, so that ensures that I’m gonna be around a long time.”
(AllHipHop News) Taylor Swift let the world know how much she loves Kendrick Lamar during this year’s Grammy awards when she rocked out to K. Dot’s performance with Imagine Dragons. It appears Kendrick is a fan of the pop superstar as well.
During an interview with Fader, the TDE emcee expressed his love for Swift’s single “Shake It Off.” He even began singing the #1 single.
“You can’t put great music in different genres. I enjoy great music outside of my own music all the time, so I definitely can see where she’s coming from when she says that she listens to the record, and it’s a great thing for her to acknowledge that and put that good energy out into the world like that,” Kendrick told the publication.
Meanwhile, Taylor celebrated her new album 1989 selling 1.287 million copies in its opening week by sharing a video of her lip-rapping Kendrick’s “Backstreet Freestyle.” The track appeared on the platinum selling album good kid, m.A.A.d city.
(AllHipHop News) As the drama plays out for Christian “Young Berg” Ward on VH1’s Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood, the Chicago native is now facing serious issues in real life. TMZ reports Berg was arrested in New York City early this morning (November 5) after allegedly attacking his girlfriend at the Gershwin Hotel.
The reality show star and creator of the Top 20 hit “Sexy Lady” is accused of grabbing the woman by the neck, throwing her to the floor, and hitting her in the face. Berg was charged with “obstruction of breathing” according to TMZ. At press time, Berg was still in police custody.
Berg’s last addressed the public via social media around 10 pm Tuesday night. He posted an Instagram picture of himself with fellow LHHH star Masika Kalysha with the caption “Bae.” There has been no confirmation that Kalysha was the woman involved in the alleged incident.
