ALLHIPHOP Gets Moist Over Jay-Z Article

In an arena where they are known for reporting late breaking Hip-Hop news and issuing criticism ALLHIPHOP.COM seems to be wearing their emotions on their sleeves. "Wane Enterprises" freelance writer "Unspoken Truth" recently did an exclusive editorial article on the "Jay-Z & Beanie Sigel" incident were he questioned some of the media's handling of the situation; Specifically naming AllHIPHOP. Almost Immediately after it appeared in their forums he noticed his AllHipHop account was suspended. What happen to freedom of thought and speech isn't this Hip-Hop. Read the article below that spawned this action by "The Worlds Most Dangerous Website" Allegedly... below

Has Jay-Z become bigger than hip-hop, and beyond approach. Recently former rocafella artist Beanie Sigel made some very strong accusations against Jay-Z in the diss record "What you talking bout .. I'm not your average Cat". This particular incident had all the blogs and major hip-hop websites buzzing, was Jay-Z's number final up..NO. It seemed instead to be a case of too little to late despite Beanie Sigel's stark and poignant allegations. Did Jay-Z respond to Sigel besides the interview where he stated Beanie Sigel had two Bentley's a record label and clothing line, No he did not instead he comes out not to long after at a U2 Concert. For those of you that don't know U2 is one of Rock's Mega Bands,it pretty much does not get bigger than them. What up Bono. This further Demonstrated the fact That Jay-Z has become a confirmed international icon.

Instead of applying pressure to Jay-Z to respond to Sigel, a blatant demonstration of either hypocrisy or prejudicious journalism was made on the part of AllHipHop.com which ran the Beanie story; and days later had a piece on Jay-Z entitled "He Came He Saw He Conquered". Thus Demonstrating main stream Hip-Hop media trying to aid Jay-Z brush the Beanie Sigel incident under the rug. Will Jay-Z respond to Beanie Sigel on Wax. That remains to be seen, but the said truth is he does not have to. Here is the "reality check" people. Jay-Z has transcended the culture and people that consider themselves real heads and live by certain code of ethics no longer count in this ever growing montage of global Hip-Hop. If Sigel would have got at Jay-Z during the whole Dynasty era or during the first blue print. Jay would have some serious issues, and had to respond. Jay-z is fully aware of his larger than Hip-Hop status and the fact true hip-hop heads are actually not responsible for the majority or records sales. "More reality check"

Amid illuminati accusation ties and a whole host of accusations Jay-Z keeps rolling on by responding to all of these things with this method, ignore, ignore, ignore. Well hopefully 50 cent signs Sigel to G-unit he needs it, and Sigel is a nice emcee. It is a sad day when the grass roots tried and true hip-hop fans no longer count and the very basis and foundation the culture was founded on is tossed out the window. Does Jay-Z Still respect the culture,or just the almighty dollar. Stop ignoring us Jay.

Wane Enterprises Ceo "Bruse Wane" Had This to say " I respect AllHipHop and it's indepth coverage of the game. I was surprised they could not take a little criticism especially being this is the business we are in. Me and Truth had a little laugh over it. Opinions are like assholes everyone has one and this was his. No hard feeling fellah's. Oh by the way out now "The Dark Knight Ep - Return To Hip-Hop's Golden Era" available everywhere online pick that up people"In an arena where they are known for reporting late breaking Hip-Hop news and issuing criticism ALLHIPHOP.COM seems to be wearing... more

You gotta check out: Laura Goldhamer

From her myspace page:
Laura Goldhamer and the Silvernail most frequently performs as a trio of musicians using banjo, guitar, some drums (Tyler Ludwick), keys (Griff Snyder), voice and video projections of stop-frame animations that Laura creates and that illustrate her song lyrics. "The Silvernail" has been composed of: Macon Terry (upright bass), Matt Case (pedal steel), Griff Snyder (aka Gryph, piano), Stelth Ulvang (accordion), Tyler Ludwick (guitar, banjo, drums), and Paul DeHaven (percussion)............ Born and raised in Denver, Colorado, Laura Goldhamer (banjo, guitar and vocal) is now living back in her birthplace of Denver, performing, touring and booking arts events. After graduating from Wesleyan University with degrees in music and religion, Laura moved around for the better part of a year before settling into Denver, and opening and running a DIY art space called Brooks Center Arts: Underground Tea House, which was open for two years. The space was closed in the spring of 2009, and Goldhamer has since focused more whole-heartedly on her own musical projects and travels (including playing in bands called Dovekins, New Denver Orchestra, and Harpoontang)............. At Wesleyan University, Goldhamer participated in various musical ensembles, including conglomerations of the talented Joaquin Cotler (keys), Owen Roberts (of "Boy Crisis", drums), Greg Donahue (of "Andy Friedman and the other Failures", bass), and Caley Monahon-Ward (of "Extra Life", fiddle), as well as Cassye Dunkhase (of "New Denver Orchestra" and "Orelia String Quartet", cello), Chris McDonald (of "PdL" and "Mirror Boyz", computer knobs and levers), Daniela Gesundheit (of "Snowblink"), George Blake (flute), and with Ashraf Rijal (of "Galaklang Noise Party", clap stomp composition on "No Ability").............. Q: One might ask, why only one "M" in Goldhamer? Why not Laura GoldhamMer? A: At the risk of confusing my family with just any old Goldhammer family, my grandfather took one M away. A2: A small elven man offered to turn straw into gold for me if I gave him my first born "M". I was desperate, needed the gold, BAD, couldn't guess his name and so that is how I came to be Laura Goldhamer.
