Alex Band Was Abducted and Beaten in Lapeer, Michigan - NOT DETROIT

The first I heard of this - the news was saying that some Detroiter's abducted and beat up Alex Band. Then the story was getting to where it actually happen... in Lapeer Michigan. Maybe he owe some money -- its tight out here.. The story made him seem so innocent. WHY?

Alex Band Was Abducted and Beaten in Lapeer, Michigan - NOT DETROIT
A lil far from Detroit...

The Calling lead singer Alex Band was abducted on Sunday morning, beaten and dumped on train tracks, it emerged today. Band was walking from his hotel room to a mini mart in Michigan at 4am when a van pulled up along side him and snatched him off the street.

He was in Lapeer, Michigan, for a local music festival. Eventually, sources told TMZ, his abductors dumped him bloodied and beaten on nearby train tracks. Later that morning, another member of the band noticed he was missing and a search party was sent out. He was discovered a short time later and taken to a local hospital. The singer was treated and eventually released, according to TMZ. The Lapeer City Police Department said today they are looking for two men who were driving a blue mini-van. The police have also revealed that Band said he was robbed during the alleged attack. It is not known what was stolen.

What is the difference between rap and hip hop?
I can have this discussion all day on what is the difference between Hip Hop and Rap. Its simply, hip hop is the culture/ the nature and rap is the genre/ form of expression. But others will give their own take on this matter.

Hip hop music includes rhythm and blues and beat boxing. Rhythm and blues or R&B music is a combination of soul and pop music. Singers combine their lyrics to fast-paced music that is often used as the background to complex dance routines. This type of music lead the cross over into popular music with soulful singing and lyrics focused on common relationship issues.

The culture of rap music is focused on poetry and quality of lyrics. Rap music has a strong background in improvisational poetry. The artists or rappers are expected to create poetry that discusses the main issues of the community, politics, or media events. The artists in this area of music are predominately men, while hip hop music is a mixture of men and woman. Rap groups are also fairly rare, with most rappers being solo artists.

The difference between rap and hip hop from a community message angle is the role of the music in the popular media. Rap is a tool used to express current events and to tell the stories of people within the local community. Hip hop music is used to express hope for the future and to remember the successes of the past.

Rap and hip hop are two of the most popular types of music in the hip hop subculture. These two genres have had tremendous impact on mass media and western culture. First developed in New York City in the 1970s, the hip hop subculture grew first among the African American and Latino American community. Over time, the music and culture gained widespread acceptance and by the late 1990s could be found in all popular media and entertainment worldwide.

There are three main differences between rap and hip-hop: musical features, culture and community message. These features are critical to separating these two very similar types of music from other popular music. The impact of rap and hip hop on modern culture has exceeded all expectations and continues to influence everything from commercials to politics.

The musical features of rap and hip hop are quite different. Rap is a combination of rhyming and poetry to a musical beat. The subject of the rap can range from local events to relationships. In the early 1970s and 1980s, rappers provided social commentary on issues that were not receiving regular media attention. In later years, popular rap became more focused on consumer commercialism and relationship issues.

New PSA Re-Enacts the Trayvon Martin shooting

"Stand Up to 'Stand Your Ground'" PSA
"Stand Up to 'Stand Your Ground'" PSA
A chilling video advocating the end of Stand Your Ground Laws has re-enacted the final moments of Trayvon Martin's life.

The ad, which the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence is calling a public service announcement, hired actors to depict George Zimmerman, Trayvon Martin, and the female neighbor who called into the Stanford, Florida police department. Adding to the haunting reality of the recreation is the fact that the actual 911 calls made by Zimmerman and the neighbor were used in the recording.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS
"Stand Up to 'Stand Your Ground'" PSA VIDEO???


The traditional presumption in the law—from the advent of the Hebrew Bible through the creation of Roman law, English common law, and American law—has been that if you could spare human life, it was incumbent upon you to do so.

With “Stand Your Ground” (aka “Shoot First”) laws, the National Rifle Association (NRA) and its partners in the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) have turned 3,000 years of jurisprudence on its head. Now you can provoke a fight, and if losing that fight, kill the person you attacked.

The NRA’s laws represent a dangerous and unprecedented escalation in the use of force in the public space, allowing individuals to kill when they merely fear “great bodily harm” (i.e., a fistfight, shoving match, etc.). The concept of responding with proportional force has been obliterated. Additionally, “Stand Your Ground” laws remove the duty to retreat from a conflict in public, allowing individuals to shoot and kill even when they could otherwise walk away safely from an altercation.

Please sign this petition calling on your state legislators to oppose “Stand Your Ground” laws.

MILF for Dummies:
What is MILF----?
"Mother I'd Like (to) Fuck" mothers, whether married, separated or divorced, that a male individual sees as physical attractive enough to want to have sexual intercourse with them. Just cuz their moms doesn't mean that they don't need a spark in their love life. If they've ever breastfed,they have really responsive nipples and a core of erectile tissue in their breasts. The ones in good shape have worked at regaining control over their vaginas (Kegel exercises).MILFs are usually real careful about birth control, they know accidents happen but they take responsible steps. They want to fuck with abandon, with no romantic complications for their under-19 family. A MILF is any mother that is sexually desirable. Who tha hell would not want a MILF? - Crunkatlanta

Big Sean links up with Nicki Minaj and Juicy J for his latest joint called MILF. This joint can be found on Big Sean upcoming album titled Hall Of Fame, due out on August 27th.

The 29-year-old actress has been told by doctors that her blood sample has tested positive for HIV - prompting a moratorium on the making of porn films in the industry hub of San Fernando Valley in California. Cameron revealed she shot her most recent sex scene with Xander Corvus, the man who played Anthony Weiner alongside the New York mayoral candidate's latest online mistress Sydney Leathers. Sydney made her porn debut Weiner And Me which was released yesterday - sparking fears she may have been exposed to the virus.
