Baron Davis Writes GlobalGrind.com A Letter




Wanted to share this with my blog family. Taken From Here http://globalgrind.com/content/492681/Xilla-Blog-A-Letter-From-Baron-Davis/


What's up Global Grind this is your boy BlogXilla, and I got a treat for you. Baron Davis has wrote a letter to the audience of globalGrind.com it's about Gang Violence in America. Check it out. ~ BlogXilla

Dear globalGrind,

On game night, thousands of fans come to watch my teammates and I play ball at the Staples Center. We have fun playing, you all have fun watching, and it's a good time for everyone.

But just a few miles away - where I grew up - there's a war going on in the streets.

Gang violence has become an accepted part of life in South Central LA, taking the lives of so many young black men. The feud between the Crips and Bloods has been going on for decades, but no one seems to understand why.

That's why I've gotten involved with the documentary titled Crips and Bloods: Made in America. This film gives an amazing look inside LA's gang life -- the turf wars, the gang structure, the street rules, and the culture of guns and death. It's told by former gang members, experts, and activists who know first-hand the destruction that gang violence brings to black communities in LA.

I grew up in South Central, and I hate seeing so many other young black men getting caught up in this cycle of gang violence. A basketball scholarship and strong support from my grandmother helped me break through, but most guys aren't so lucky.

It doesn't have to happen like this. Young men don't have to end up in prison or die in the streets. The Crips and Bloods don't have to keep fighting for another 40 years. But to stop the bloodshed, we have to understand why it's happening.

Crips and Bloods: Made in America is a great start. The film doesn't just document the violence in South Central, it helps explain the bloodshed and offers hope that the next generation of kids can escape it. After watching this film, I believe the day will come when neighborhoods in LA aren't run by gangs and rattled by gunshots.

The U.S. just swore in its first black president. There's hope throughout the U.S. -- even in South Central.

Check out the trailer and then ask your friends to watch it too:

A Film Written By Tupac


Lisa Hobbs at Vibe reports that a film written by the Late Tupac Shakur is set to hit theaters. Besides scribbling lyrics, and detailed poems, the late rapper, actor and activist Tupac Shakur also penned several screenplays before his 1996 murder. One of the scripts, Live 2 Tell, is set to hit theaters by 2010. Live 2 Tell revolves around an ex-drug dealer attempting to get his life back on track after escaping a violent past. Shakur wrote the film while serving out his 1995 prison term for sexual assault. He had plans to play the leading role. Shakur’s mother and estate-holder, Afeni Shakur, sold the rights of the film to Insomnia Productions. According to Allhiphop.com, the film is set to be produced by Hustle and Flow producer Preston Holmes. Casting is reported to begin by early April. I think Afeni needs to hold on to all the Pac's material, besides that he had dreams of releasing and those films his-self so instead of her selling his stuff she needs to be looking for investors or getting distribution and trying to maintain ownership.

Keri Hilson..Who?

I haven't posting in a while been kinda busy trying to get my portfolio site and everything else together. I got stuck working on a web design for a client and starting reading crunktastical.net and when I saw the YouTube clip of the day I knew I had to post it. Excuse some of the language, but this is hilarious.
