Rolling Stones in Brooklyn

Rolling Stones Rock Brooklyn For The First Time

It's great to be here in Brooklyn, in this great new arena," Mick Jagger said early in the      Rolling Stones' first-ever show in the borough Saturday night. "We rode the subway here, I sat next to a guy named Jay Zed," he said, playing tourist by using the British pronunciation of the letter. "I mean -- Jay-Z."
Legendary Rock group, Rolling Stones performed in Brooklyn last night on (Dec. 8).  To say it was the Rolling Stones first time in Brooklyn, they felt at home. With guest performances like Brooklyn Native, Mary J Blige and Gary Clark Jr, the crowd was easily pleased with their presence, and by the look of it The Rolling Stones were too. Now check out the Rolling Stones Awesome Performances from the Barclay's Center.

Gimme Shelter

 
 The crowd erupted at the opening chords of "Gimme Shelter," but the band willingly let special guest Mary J. Blige steal the song - her soaring high notes were one of the night's many goosebump moments. The evening's other special guest, rising star Gary Clark Jr., joined the band for "Going Down" not long after, and they willingly ceded the spotlight to showcase his formidable blues playing, although Wood and Richards took solos on the song as well.

Start Me Up

 

You Can't Always Get What You Want

For the encore, the band was joined by the Trinity Wall Street Choir (who scored a Grammy nomination earlier this week) for "You Can't Always Get What You Want," which got a refreshing charge toward the end when Watts briefly shifted into a double-time gospel-style rave-up before downshifting.

Should Hip Hop Have Labels? Conscious VS Trap

Conscious VS Trap After Vince Staple tweet about not wanting to be placed in the conscious rap label last Wednesday evening, Hip Hop heads voiced their opinion on the sub labels of hip hop. I am highly offended by the term conscious rap don't associate me with that. — Vince Staples (@vincestaples) August 12, 2015 This brings me to talk about the topic. Should hip hop have sub genres? Hip Hop was founded on the fun of mixing together music with rhymes and developed into storytelling, word play, political power etc... The culture of hip hop will always include the elements of  DJs to turn the tables, a microphone to spit the bars, graffiti to paint the images, and the infinite break dancing. Introduced in the late 70's were hip hop pioneer groups like, the Sugar Hill Gang, who were the first hip hop group to enter into mainstream media with the classic anthem "Rappers Delight," which expressed pure fun, funkadelic beats, rhymes, and basic flow.

The Real Gods of Egypt

First and foremost the fact that the entire lead cast with exception of Chadwick Boseman who plays Thoth, being of European Caucasian decent is asinine. It's a historic fact that the Gods of Egypt portrayed in this film were of African descent containing large amounts of melanin in their DNA. Simply meaning that the characters being portrayed were in real life are black. The original statues found in Egypt shows round noses, braided hair, and big lips; these are physical characteristics of black people Akhenaten "The civilization of Egypt and of Africa in general, is the most written about and least understood of all known subjects. This is not an accident or an error in misunderstandings the available information. Except for Egypt, African people have been programmed out of the respectable commentary of history. Europeans have claimed the non-African creation of Egypt in order to downgrade the position of African people in the world history. They have laid the founda
