Sat, 15 September 2007  <p>Welcome to a new episode of the Hip Hop War Report. Today we bring you breaking news involving the Jena 6 travesty and a recent hate crime of similar nature that occurred at the University of Maryland. Sue Ying will brief everyone on the Jena 6 case and its latest developments. Bashir will chime in and give you the truth behind the hate crime that the University of Maryland won't even acknowledge as an act of terror. Bashir speaks with Solomon Commissiong who is Assistant Director of Student Involvement and Public Relations on campus at the Nyumburu Cultural Center. Solomon and 2 of his colleagues give us the true breakdown of what took place as well as the current emotional state on campus. <p>
<p>Before we even get to that we have to shed light on a gross injustice by US Capitol Police on a very dear friend of the Hip Hop War Report. Reverend Lennox Yearwood was brutally attacked by US Capitol Police simply for exercising his right to appear at a public hearing on Capitol Hill. Minister Yearwood is the president of the Hip Hop Caucus a organization which strives for political and social change. The Hip Hop Caucus organizes youth to get actively involved in issues of war, poverty, racial injustice and the environment. Please go to www.hiphopcaucus.org and support this movement.<p> Rev. Yearwood released, charged with assaulting a police officer:
Part of increasing Capitol Hill crackdown on voices of dissent
Rev. Yearwood gave this statement yesterday after his arraignment hearing: "My role is to make government more transparent to the people, especially people of color. How am I supposed to convince other African-Americans to come to Capitol Hill to participate in democracy, when Capitol Police will go so far as to jump me when I question my exclusion from a hearing that is open to the public? We all know what ‘driving while Black‘ is, well I would call this ‘democracy while Black.‘ Rev. Yearwood was being excluded from the hearing room, because, according to the lieutenant on the scene, he was not in line. Witnesses attest to the fact that Rev. Yearwood was in line, but he was denied a blue post-it note ticket without reason when Police handed them out down the line shortly before they started letting people enter. Rev.

Fri, 20 July 2007  Greetings everyone and welcome to another episode of the Hip Hop War Report. Today we have a very special episode. We humbly ask for everyone in the Chicago area to go out and support Aaron Patterson this morning. Aaron's sentencing hearing will be held today in Chicago. Aaron Patterson has been framed yet again by the Federal Government and the Chicago Pig Department. Please go down to 219 S. Dearborn, Room 2119 in Chicago IL this morning at 9am and be heard. No Justice, No Peace, and demand immediate release for our brother! As for the podcast, we have commentary from world renowned journalist, author, and death row political prisoner, Mumia Abu Jamal. Mumia speaks on the case of Texas Death Row Inmate- Kenneth Foster, who is also wrongfully scheduled to die on August 30, 2007. Please pay close attention to his case and give your support. Finally we have DJ GI Joe. This DJ is no stranger to the WAR REPORT, and he gives us a preview of "Underworld Volume 3".. Joe also gives us and exclusive interview on his thoughts regarding Mumia's appeal hearing on May 17 in Philly. The Underworld keeps its tradition boasting some of the hottest underground emcees in the game. Exclusive never heard before music from Immortal Technique ft. Bootcamp Click, Poison Pen, Diabolic, Laelo Hood Ft. Payshir, NEMS and a host of others! 31 tracks and we play a few for you to sample. Please support this real hip hop! Please read regarding Aaron Patterson Aaron Patterson Targeted in Police and Fed Frame-up Chicago, IL - When ex-death row inmate Aaron Patterson was pardoned by Illinois Governor George Ryan in January, 2003, he came out of prison vowing to fight for justice. Within hours of his release, Patterson spoke at a Chicago anti-war rally. The next day he was a featured speaker at an anti-police frame-up community forum hosted by Comite Exigimos Justicia. In the months since his release, Aaron Patterson has proven to be a tireless and inspiring leader in the struggle against Chicago police misconduct, brutality and torture. He emerged as the city’s single most important leader of this fight. This made Patterson an irresistible target for the Chicago police and the U.S. Justice Department. On Aug. 5, Aaron Patterson was arrested by the Chicago Police Department and Federal Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents. Patterson was charged, along with Isaiah Kitchen and Mark Mannie, with conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and firearms. Patterson is not charged with possession of drugs or guns, rather the prosecutors are alleging that he intended to become involved in illegal activities. According to the federal government, it is involved in this case because it is able to seek sentences that are much greater than those administered at a local level. Aaron Patterson, if convicted, could face life in prison and millions of dollars in fines. The source of the government’s evidence against Patterson is derived from an informant who is known by the street name of Fox. Fox was arrested in November 2003 for possession of over $100,000 in drugs and was facing a possible 30-year prison sentence. Yet Fox never went to prison, because he told authorities he could deliver Aaron Patterson to them. In March, under guidance from the Justice Department, Fox initiated contact with Patterson and taped a series of conversations with him, for which Fox was paid $6000 by the government. According to Patterson, he knew all along that he was being targeted and taped by the government through Fox. At the same time that Fox was taping Patterson, Patterson was taping Fox. He was trying to trap the government agents who were trying to entrap him. As he told the Chicago Tribune, “I got videotapes, I got license plate numbers of undercover cars. Serial numbers for all the money. Everything.� Whether Patterson’s evidence of his entrapment will be helpful to his defense is unclear, since federal agents removed loads of evidence from his mother’s home the day of his arrest. From his jail cell, where he sits after his bail was denied, Patterson was asked what his goal was when trying to document the police corruption surrounding his arrest. “It was to expose. Let’s do something real and get it on tape. The stunt was not to get locked up. The stunt was that I wanted to do something that would put them on the spot.� Aaron Patterson’s arrest took place just 24 hours after a federal judge in Chicago ordered former Chicago Police Commander Jon Burge back to Chicago to testify. Jon Burge is alleged to have tortured or to have supervised the torture of 108 Black and Latino suspects while he was a detective in Chicago Police Area 2 and commander of Area 3. Burge and the detectives working under him are accused of using electric shock and suffocation with typewriter covers to extract confessions. One of those tortured suspects was Aaron Patterson, who has a pending civil suit against Burge. Aaron Patterson has survived police torture and years spent on death row for a crime he didn’t commit and he came out swinging against a corrupt and racist criminal justice system. By targeting him, the Chicago Police Department and the U.S. Justice Department are trying to tell victims of police and prosecutorial misconduct to suffer in silence. Anti-police corruption activists will not stay silent. Instead we will raise our voices to denounce this latest frame-up and to demand the immediate release of Aaron Patterson! Comments[14] |

I encourage all War Report listeners to go to www.mixtapeshow.net and get the full episode During the last few weeks, Hip-Hop has been under serious fire from the mainstream media, not only because of the backlash following Don Imus termination, but the more recent 60 minutes interview featuring Camron and Anderson Coopers interpretation of the Stop Snitching mantra.

with Brother Jay from the X-Clan. Brother Jay speaks on conscious hip hop and
its ability to reach people. He also expresses his views on the upliftment of
people through unity. Brother Jay gives his opinions on the Iraq War and how

Tue, 27 February 2007 Greetings and welcome to this special edition of the Hip Hop War Report. Today we bring to you a podcast based on the most important thing in your life: YOUR HEALTH!. The War Report has teamed with KhaazRa MaaRanu from www.dpeeps.com and www.holisticperspective.net to get his insight on the topic of "gene mutation". KhaazRa breaks it down into common terms so we can all understand the importance of this topic. The Hip Hop War Report is dedicated to keeping the public informed with truth. In order to enjoy a healthy life we have to change our eating habits and at least recognize what is bad for our bodies. We start this podcast with great words from the world renowned journalist and political prisoner, Mumia Abu Jamal. Mumia weighs in on the topic of global warming. This piece is titled the "Planets Death Row". Please take time to listen to the facts and truth about this very serious problem.I would like to give you this information passed on to me by a War Report correspondent, Da Da the Goldenchild. Its a comparison between WATER and COKE. You be the judge! WATER #1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half the world population.) #2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is mistaken for hunger. #3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as 3%. #4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study. #5. Lack of water, is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue. #6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers. #7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page. #8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%., and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer. Are you drinking the amount of water you should drink every day? COKE #1. In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident. #2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days. #3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china. #4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola. #5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion. #6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes. #7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy. #8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into the load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield. FOR YOUR INFORMATION: #1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. It will dissolve a nail in about four days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase of osteoporosis. #2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial trucks must use a hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials. #3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean engines of the trucks for about 20 years! Now the question is, would you like a glass of water? or Coke?

Wed, 7 February 2007  Welcome to another episode of the Hip Hop War Report. Today's episode
features interviews JR, the Minister of Information, from the Block
Report. JR interviews Flava Flav and Chuck D. from the world renowned
hip hop group, "Public Enemy". JR and Flava Flav discuss the legacy of
"Public Enemy", as well as Stanley "Tookie" Williams and Flav's reality
show.The second segment features our independent artists spotlight. Today's spotlight will feature Brooklyn's own DaDa the Golden Child. This interview will be conducted by Akir. In this interview Akir and Golden Child discuss the collaborative effort known as The Reavers. The Reavers is a group comprised of eleven independent hip-hop artists from across the nation. The Reavers' album is an incredible effort boasting many great names such as: Golden Child, Hasan Salaam, Akir, Billy Woods, Karniege, Keith Masters and Priviledge, just to name a few. The Reavers first single is entitled "The Slums"and was produced by Golden Child. "The Slums" is a recording reality that delves into the lives of people in the hood. The emcees performing on this song express their views, good and bad, about the places where we dwell. "The Slums" communicates how the people in the hood fight back. The creative lyricism displayed on "The Slums" illustrates how the poor neighborhoods and projects were designed as traps. These traps keep people contained in a distressed state and fighting amongst themselves despite what the media may tell us. We highly recommend The Reavers' album "Terror Firma". They go on to discuss DaDa the Golden Child's hip-hop/reggae band "Plan B". Akir and Golden Child talk about how progressive hip-hop is becoming as it pertains to the live show. Golden Child also discusses the Original Sessions' Band Showcase, in which Plan B is currently involved. We are also pleased to announce that Golden Child will be a new correspondent for the Hip Hop War Report. Finally, this episode concludes with an interview between JR and Chuck D, in which they discuss independent labels and freelance media. Chuck D expresses his opinion on the record industry vs. the music business. www.myspace.com/dadathegoldenchild www.sonicbids.com/goldenchild www.oneenterprises.com www.myspace.com/blockreportradio www.publicenemy.com www.myspace.com/thereavers Comments[13] |

Tue, 5 December 2006  Thank you for tuning in for this special edition of the Hip Hop War Report. Today is a double episode that features new music from AKIR in memory of Sean Bell who was murdered on his wedding day by the NYPD. HIP HOP WAR REPORT EPISODE 7.1 POCC: Block Report Radio interview political prisoner Mumia Abu Jamal Hip Hop War Report Correspondent Minister of Information JR of POCC: Block Report Radio interviewed Black Panther political prisoner Mumia Abu Jamal about the 25th year of his unjust incarceration, as well as, the 40th Anniversary of the founding of the Black Panther Party. During the interview, he gives his opinion on Black Panthers who are still in the battle for human right and self determination, as well as, on those that have “retired� from the Movement. He talks about how he believes conditions in the poorest parts of Black Amerikkka have gotten progressively worst than they were in the 60’s. Mumia also goes into the mainstream media’s portrayal of the Party, and how it’s coverage was not surprising, and how leftwing authors including Charles Jones’ “The Black Panther Party Reconsidered�, and his own book “We Want Freedom� have done a lot to “open up perspectives�. Mumia gives his reflections on the
late great cofounder of the Black Panther Party, Minister of Defense Huey P.
Newton, as well as his opinion on the relevance of the Black Panthers 10 Point
Platform today, in the Black community. Mumia goes on to discuss how it is “as
important as life or death� for journalist to cover stories that aren’t being
covered as well as offer a progressive opinion to stories that are being picked
up by the mainstream. He discusses the war of terrorism in It is important that listeners of the Hip Hop War Report and POCC: Block Report Radio support the unconditional release of political prisoner Mumia Abu Jamal, recognizing that he is one of the most revolutionary and articulate voices in the media, of our generation, as well as, his so-called trial was plagued with unfairness, including the refusal to admit the confession of Arnold Beverly into evidence, the dismissing of potential Black jurors simply because they were Black, police coercion of witnesses, and ballistic tests that state that the caliber of the bullet that killed Faulkner was not the same caliber of bullets that fit Mumia’s gun, among other things. HIP HOP WAR REPORT EPISODE 7.2 (Mumia Basketball Tournament) Block Report Radio: an interview with Deputy
Minister of Culture Jocelyn of POCC: Block Report Radio interviews a number of This particular segment of POCC: Block Report Radio was put on the Hip Hop War Report podcast, because we believe that it is important for youngsters to take interest and action, in issues that are facing their communities, realizing that in most cases it is the young people who create change in any given society. We hope that this inspires young and older people alike to get educated and involved in freeing Black political prisoners in this country. It is our social responsibility, especially because Mumia Abu Jamal, and others fought for our rights, when a majority of us, weren’t even fighting for our own rights. Free All Political Prisoners!
