Tommy Wright III (born May 6, 1976) is a underground gangsta rapper from Memphis, Tennessee that began his career during the early 90s. Also referring to himself as The 1 Man Gang, Tommy Wright III is known for his fast paced rap style, distinguishing voice, brutal lyrics, and his instantly recognizable original backbeats. He is also the head of many Memphis rap groups including the Manson Family and Ten Wanted Men (composed of Jesse James, La Chat, 2-Face, K-Rock (rapper), C-Roc, Lil’ Ramsey, Mac T-Dogg, Project Pimp and Princess Loko). Wright began writing lyrics to let out his frustration during the early 90’s. In 1993, Tommy put together his own rap group named Ten Wanted Men. Tommy’s very first single was produced by Blackhaven’s own DJ Paul (the future producer of Three 6 Mafia). Tommy Wright III eventually signed with Street Smart Records around 1994. A year later, Select-O-Hits bought Street Smart Records after the label’s underground sound became big around Memphis. In 2000, Tommy was again sent to prison with a sentence of five years. Having spent five years in prison, Tommy Wright III was released in 2005 & released Ashes II Ashes, Dust II Dust on November 28, 2006.

Tatianna Paulino is the mother of the late hip-hop manager and executive Steven Rodriguez—or as the world knew him, A$AP Yams. He died at the age of 26 in 2015 from a drug overdose. He helped orchestrate the rise of A$AP Mob, which has produced rappers A$AP Rocky, A$AP Ferg, and more. We chronicled the rise or A$AP Rocky in our documentary SXDDVNLY. Below, Paulino writes about the experience of his death and how it’s shaped her. *** Today would have been my son Steven Rodriguez’s 28th birthday. But at about 3 AM on the morning of January 18 2015, the phone rang displaying the number of his roommate. Steven, aka A$AP Yams, was the founder of the hip hop collective A$AP Mob; he would sometimes phone me from his friend’s number. But at this hour, I knew it wasn’t good. “Mama Tati, Steven isn’t feeling well.” I could barely make out the anxiety-ridden voice on the other end, and my heart began beating wildly.

IF YOU’VE BEEN feeling in need of an upper during these last few downbeat months, don’t worry: It turns out that Dave Chappelle on Saturday Night Live is a hell of a drug. The comedian and writer made his (decades-overdue) SNLhosting debut this weekend, opening the show with a hilarious, panoramic monologue that touched upon everything from the horrific Pulse nightclub shootings to the Black Lives Matter movement to, of course, president-elect Donald Trump. “We’ve actually elected an internet troll as our president,” Chappelle said, adding: “The whites are furious … I’ve never seen white people this mad since the O.J. verdict.”
Chappelle, who’d never hosted the show before, treated his nearly 11-minute SNL opening as a sort of state of the union, trying to make sense of a year’s worth of tragedies. It was like listening in as your smartest, funniest, most bullshit-free friend put down his newspaper, leaned in across the table, and told you what’s really going on in the world. And nearly every joke landed, even when Chappelle took on seemingly laugh-free topics, eagerly poking at pop-culture third rails with a fork.
On the Pulse tragedy: “The [shooter] pledged allegiance to ISIS before he did what he did, which is not the same as being in ISIS. If I was gonna have sex with a girl, and right before I did it I yelled “Wu-Tang!,” that doesn’t mean I’m in the Wu-Tang Clan.”
On Harambe: “They shot a gorilla in my local zoo, and the Cincinnati police said, ‘Shooting that gorilla was the toughest decision this department ever had to make. I said, ‘Well, you about to see a lot of n—–s in gorilla costumes in Cincinnati.'”
On the president-elect: “I feel bad saying it, but I’m staying in a Trump hotel right now … housekeeping comes in in the morning and cleans my room and I just go, ‘Hey, good morning,’ and grab a handful of pussy and say, ‘Boss said it was okay!'”
Chappelle’s routine was the highlight of an episode that returned frequently to Trump’s election and the current national unease. The night opened with Kate McKinnon, in Hillary garb, singing a gorgeous, somber rendition of the late Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” and its “Weekend Update” was essentially all-Donald, with a few dead-on one-liners—”Either Donald Trump is actually a genius, or Hillary Clinton hit a voodoo priest with a car,” noted Michael Che—and McKinnon as Supreme Court Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who was seen scarfing Emergen-C in an effort to stay healthy for at least four more years (“An apple a day keeps Ben Carson away.”) Meanwhile, former SNL star Chris Rock made a surprise appearance (in a sketch about a group of naive white Democrats confronting racism while watching election-night returns), and musical guest A Tribe Called Question performed its new blazing agitpop anthem “We the People…” with its chorus of “All you Black folks, you must go/All you Mexicans, you must go.”
But it was Chappelle’s tightly constructed, loosely delivered monologue that anchored the night, providing viewers with a blast of relief after days of anxiety, like a hydrant uncapped on a sweltering summer night. It was salvo as salve, and by 11:45 pm or so, you could almost hear a deep, relieved sigh of gratitude rise over the east coast, as Chappelle closed out his monologue. He talked about a recent trip to a BET-sponsored party at the West Wing—an institution that was traditionally unwelcoming to African-Americans. On that night, “everybody in there was black, except for Bradley Cooper, for some reason,” Chappelle said. “I saw all those black faces, and Bradley, and I saw how happy everybody was—these people who had been historically disenfranchised. And it made me feel hopeful. And it made me fell proud to be an American. And it made me very happy about the prospects of our country. So in that spirit, I’m wishing Donald Trump luck. And I’m gonna give him a chance. And we, the historically disenfranchised, demand that he give us one, too.” We’ll be the first ones to say it: Chappelle for President 2020.

Somehoodlum is one of my favorite artist, he mainly makes his art on the waves of our hip hop world & the society (I'll write about it later) . For example he did a music video for Lance Skiiwalker & Schoolboy Q ( I don't need to introduce him, if you don't know Q idk what you're doing with you're life) or the branding/artwork for "day n night" festival (where were A$AP Rocky, Flume, Bryson Tiller, Young Thug, Lil Yachty & if you don't know them..).
After this little introduction here is some of his art not the finest because I was too lazy to do a selection.
Also if you like what he's doing check these addresses :
he election of Donald Trump has been welcomed by autocrats and demagogues across the world, from Moscow to the Philippines. The reaction of democratic leaders, especially in Europe, has on the contrary been a mixture of awe, anxiety and an effort to put a brave face on an event that might threaten a rules-based world order. This is the first daunting question raised by America’s choice of a man whose only experience in international relations has been as a real estate investor, and whose presidential campaign was marked by utterances which reflected either ignorance or disdain for what the US has traditionally stood for in the world.
Trump has called Nato “obsolete”, he wants to upend free trade, he has fawned over autocrats, he has suggested Japan and South Korea should develop nuclear weapons, he has criticised the Iran nuclear deal, he wants a wall on the border with Mexico, he believes the fight against terrorism can include torture and he cares not one bit about climate change. And that is only what is known about Trump’s foreign policy programme – that is, if he actually has one.
Yet the very fact that the survival of the international order in which the US has historically played such a key role now seems in question, speaks volumes about the dimensions of his election. The world is stunned. Because Trump has said so little that was coherent on foreign affairs, so much that was alarming, and because he has kept silent on so many of the complexities of what a US president may be confronted with, many are now reduced to mere speculation about the future policies of the man.
The victory of Donald Trump shatters the notion that the US can be counted on by its allies not just for defence guarantees and economic cooperation, but even as a defender of liberal democracy, rather than a threat to it. It calls into question the traditional US role as a protector of a UN-based global architecture of multilateralism. No one knows who will be appointed to his team, although the names of Jeff Sessions and General Michael Flynn have circulated in no reassuring way. All these risks are reflected in global reactions. Those countries and leaders who want America to continue to play an essential role in underwriting the international principles and alliances that stand at the heart of global governance are now aghast and scrambling for any reassurances that may be on offer. Those who want to challenge a US-led global order or see it eroded, as well as those who expect that a new dawn of US isolationism will best serve their interests, are rejoicing. So the news of the election outcome was greeted with a round of applause in the Russian parliament. The Kremlin will no doubt be hoping that Trump’s frequent overtures to Putin, including his expressions of admiration for the strongman, will offer areas of negotiation to Russia’s benefit. This could apply to Syria, a move likely to further empower Assad, to Ukraine, which could lead to the lifting of sanctions, or to the wider question of Europe’s security architecture and Nato.
In Europe, the reactions pointed as much to the difficult state of the continent’s politics as they do to attitudes towards the US. While Theresa May, contemplating a post-Brexit world, emphasised the “special relationship”, Angela Merkel suggested her cooperation with Trump would be conditional on respect for democratic values. In Brussels, EU and Nato officials scrambled to underscore the importance of transatlantic links. But among Europe’s populists, there was an outflow of glee and celebration. In France, Marine Le Pen cheered the “American people, free”, the Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders gloated that “politics will never be the same”, and Hungary’s Viktor Orbán declared: “Great news. Democracy is still alive.” Across the world there are leaders eagerly anticipating the chance of capitalising on an entirely new version of US leadership – or absence of. In Israel, the far right believes the Palestinian state is over. China has been circumspect, hedging for the unknown, perhaps concerned about the risk of a trade war.
For Donald Trump, politics – like business – is about dealmaking. He thinks man-to-man talk with dictators can instantly dissolve problems, and approaches foreign affairs as zero sum game in which making America great can mean demeaning its traditional friends. His election makes the world a more dangerous place and also a more uncertain place, for it is too early to say precisely how those dangers will materialise – nor how the next US president will face up to them.

TRUMP vs HILLARY
Why trump will lose ?
Reason #1:His campaign has been rocked by controversy from the get-go. He kicked off his run by accusing Mexican immigrants of being rapists and drug dealers. He went on to call for a ban on allowing Muslims into the United States. He has repeatedly made disparaging remarks about women, suggested punishing women who have abortions, questioned the integrity of a Mexican-American judge presiding over lawsuits against Trump University, threatened to jail Clinton if he is elected and shown he has little understanding of the Constitution. Trump also questioned U.S. intelligence assessments that Russian hackers are responsible for leaking emails from the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign chief John Podesta aimed at influencing the outcome of the election.
Reason #2: Trump’s campaign has been a revolving door and has not set up the ground operation needed to get the vote out, opting to depend on regular Republicans who are wondering what they have gotten themselves into. His controversial positions have sent some Republican leaders scurrying for cover. House Speaker Paul Ryan said he would no longer campaign for or defend Trump after an “Access Hollywood” tape surfaced on which Trump bragged about forcing himself on women, saying he could get away with it because of his celebrity and wealth. Since the tape surfaced, about a dozen women have stepped forward to say Trump forced himself on them.
Reason #3: Trump and Clinton aren’t the only candidates in the presidential race. Johnson has been trying to represent himself as a logical alternative to Trump. He was a successful GOP governor but has proved himself far from adept on foreign affairs having asked, “What is Aleppo?” when asked about the situation in the besieged Syrian city.
FUCK IT TRUMP IS A MOTHERFUCKIN PSYCHOPATH & THE FUTURE MAIN ACTOR IN WORLD WAR 3
"If you support Trump, you are a White Supremacist. Full stop. Not just the passive amount of White Supremacy that we all end up participating in, in an inherently White Supremacist system—you are an active, hateful, dangerous White Supremacist."

TRUMP vs HILLARY
Why would Hillary win ?
Reason #1: The Brexit Spectre. The nation is now properly frightened that Hillary might not win. Her recent dip in the polls has not only scared her supporters straight, but also--like a hangman’s noose around the neck--most likely focused the attention of those heretofore indifferent to the election’s outcome or so effete in their politics that only those who reflect the ideals they see when they sit in front of their morning vanity are worthy of their vote. Thanks to the disastrous Brexit vote, we all have a glaring example of what can happen when people take their voting responsibility lightly. I know from decades of watching sports that no good coach wants the team going into the big game overconfident. And I can tell from HRC herself that she rather welcomes her recent slide in the polls. The emails I get from her campaign daily have been riding the polling slump for all it’s worth…and I‘m going to guess that when her next fund raising numbers are announced we’re going to learn it was worth plenty. I can also tell from her first appearance after her pneumonia when, in her reply to a question about the tightening polls, she said that the election is going to come down to voter registration and get out the vote efforts. That shows that decades of electoral experience have not been wasted on her…she knows that being up or down in the polls at any time before election day means far less than who actually shows up to vote for you…and that brings us to…
Reason #2: The Ground Game. One of the most instructive political pieces I ever read appeared after the 2004 Democratic primary between John Kerry and Howard Dean. Going into the Iowa caucus Kerry was the establishment figure suffering under a severe “enthusiasm gap” to Dean who was the Bernie Sanders of the day, galvanizing the young, the independent, and progressive vote. The article detailed how Kerry flew in an experienced, nuts and bolts political strategist who put together a get out the vote effort that was far more damaging to Howard Dean’s chances than his so-called Dean Scream. That media gewgaw captured all the attention, and the diligent groundwork of the Kerry campaign was largely ignored. The media is fixated on sensational events and their impact on polling numbers, but making phone calls, registering voters and getting those voters to the polls really is determinative. Hillary’s campaign was good enough at that in 2008 to give Barack Obama a far tougher fight than Bernie Sanders gave her this year (despite Bernie's Trump-like, large, enthusiastic crowds). And now she has the cream of the Obama strategists working for her. A cursory look at the respective ground games between the two tells you all you need to know about where things are headed for Election Day. In swing states Florida, Pennsylvania and North Carolina, Clinton’s field offices number, respectively, 51, 38, and 30; Trump’s corresponding numbers: 2, 4 and 0! Experts say that a good ground game can make a 1-3 point difference in an election’s outcome, which is huge in a close race. (Anyone whose concern about a Trump presidency is limited to checking the daily polls and complaining about what Hillary is or isn't doing might want to call one of her field offices and offer to do more.)
Reason #3: The Economy Stupid (yet again). Barack Obama won handily in 2012 even though the pundits were predicting a razor thin margin either way. Obama went before the American voters in 2012 with a still ailing economy holding down his approval numbers and making him vulnerable, the experts thought, to a successful capitalist who promised to fix things with business savvy. At this point in that election Obama and Romney were tied in the polls. It remains a question whether Hillary can use the recent good economic news to her advantage…economics doesn’t explain well in an election (voters either feel good about the economy or they don’t). But she doesn’t have to defend sorry economic numbers as Obama did, plus she's facing a less reputable businessman. Obama's challenge was greater in beating Romney in 2012 …not to mention war hero McCain in 2008…but he was still able to pull out comfortable victories because the fundamentals of the electoral map so favor Democrats. It would take a historic breakdown in support for Hillary not to duplicate if not improve upon Obama’s vote totals.
Reason #4—The Competency Factor. The voters not only find Hillary qualified to be president, they find her opponent unqualified. Here’s just the latest evidence of it from just a few days ago:
Although Clinton seems to be facing a tight race with her rival Donald Trump, a new Quinnipiac University poll out Thursday seems to show that the American people agree with Obama’s testament to her qualifications. Sixty-two percent of likely voters say Clinton is qualified for the presidency while nearly the opposite amount — 61 percent — say Trump is not, the poll shows.
All the attention of course has been on the fact that Hillary has a trust problem with voters. In one of the most astonishing through-the-looking-glass episodes in American political history, voters believe that Trump, a congenital and conspicuous liar, is more honest than she is. But here’s the thing, voters already expect politicians to lie…it's baked into their perception of politics and one of the main reasons they hate politics so much. So, fair or not, HRC can survive the trust issue in this election. Trump, on the other hand, cannot survive his unqualified problem. And that problem will be exacerbated the closer we get to Election Day as the Clinton campaign no doubt bombards him with ads featuring well-known Republicans who have already endorsed her and declared him unqualified. I’ve already addressed the likability vs. competency argument in an earlier post, so no need to rehash here, except to say it defies all logic to believe the nation is going to put anyone in charge that the majority of citizens finds unqualified to be in charge.
Reason #5: The Debate Aftermath. There is general consensus that Hillary should “win” the debates through her breadth of experience and knowledge. But winning debates is the quicksilver of American politics. John Kerry reputedly won all his debates over George W. Bush in 2004; Mitt Romney beat Barack Obama in their first debate in 2012. Hillary will win just by showing up looking hale and hearty and holding her ground for 90 minutes. That will be enough to supplant the public image of her crumbling into her van after the 9/11 ceremony a few weeks ago. The public can hardly be blamed given how much the media replayed that clip (including, regrettably, Stephen Colbert who ran it just for laughs many days later, raising the question: is there any difference between Trump mocking a reporter's medical condition and a celebrity mocking a politician's medical condition?) That incident coincided with her slip in the polls. By all accounts this will be one of the most watched events in television history, and subsequently one of the most analyzed. Because the media finally seem to have caught on to how well Trump has played it over the past year, chances are it’ll be working to regain its integrity during and after the debate. Mature and responsible media coverage heading into Election Day will greatly benefit the mature and responsible candidate over the con artist.
