June 17, 2015, approximately three weeks ago Senator Clementa Pinckney and eight others were brutally assassinated in Emanuel Church on Calhoun Street, in Charleston, SC. This morning at approximately 1:11 am, the SC House voted to permanently remove the Confederate Flag from the State House grounds, there was also a second vote that would place the rebel flag in the Confederate Relic Room & Military Museum.

In a response to the 2 bills passed early this morning, Gov. Nikki Haley issued the following statement: “It’s a new day in South Carolina, a day we can all be proud of, a day that truly brings us all together as we continue to heal, as one people and one state.” Haley has five days after the bill has been ratified, to sign and approve this bill.

The highlight of this week between both the Senate and House debates happened late last night as South Carolina Representative Jenny Horne delivered an emotional and stern response to House members. In a moment of clarity and passion, Senator Horne stated, “I cannot believe that we do not have the heart in this body to do something meaningful, such as take a symbol of hate off these grounds on Friday. If we amend this bill, we are telling the people of Charleston, ‘we don’t care about you. We do not care that somebody used a symbol of hate to slay nine innocent people who were worshipping their God.” Horne’s frustrations were followed by a standing ovation on the floor of the House of Representatives.

After years of South Carolina residents fighting to have this flag removed, today marks a historical day for the state. So, What’s next South Carolina?

There is no doubt that Gucci Mane has some of the best marketing people in the world! Despite a long jail sentence, Gucci has been able to stay active on all social networks and still is able to release music. His newest mixtape “Trapology” proves that Gucci, despite his circumstances is determined to put in the work to stay relevant in hip-hop. The album cover that features the likeness of Albert Einstein (is that even legal??) also features tracks from some of hip-hops biggest names. Fetty Wap, Snoop, Young Scooter, Soulja Boy, Young Dolph, Father, Riff Raff and Daz Dillinger are all featured and producers like Mike Will Made-It, 808 Mafia, KE On the Track all are credited on this trap complication.

Today is a great day in hip-hop history. June 16, 1971 one of the greatest rappers/poets of all time was born and changed the music world forever. Tupac can easily be labeled as one of the greatest poets/rappers because of his complexity, outspokenness, creativity, talent and the mystique he had as an artist. There isnt an artist who has or had such a wide range of subject matter and purpose in their music since Pac, and for that he will always be studied, mimicked and celebrated.

Jhene Aiko was only eight years old when Tupac died, but ever since she watched 2003 “Tupac: Resurrection” documentary, it has obviously had an affect on her life. As a huge fan of Pac, Jhene along with Photographer, Danny Williams recreated three of Pac’s famous photos. Check out Jhene’s photos and music she shared with MTV in honor of Tupac’s birthday.
