According to the "Atlanta Journal Constitution Newspaper" Soulja Boy has some issues with "JAY-Z" Allegedly at a recent concert the Atlanta rapper closed the show by saying "I'm riding with Gucci Mane brah...Jay-Z aint the best rapper alive matter fact fuck Jay-Z, and departed from the stage. It just so happened that Associated Press Report Andrew lauder was in attendance with his niece. Lauder was able to gain access to Soulja Boy and pressed him on the issue.
Lauder got straight to the point and asked Soulja Boy what was that whole fuck Jay-Z thing was about ? Soulja Boy retorted with the following; " Man These old guys need to fall back and let us get ours. I always felt Jay-Z aint really dig me, but never came straight out and said it; probably in fear of losing a younger fan base or something. I seen an article posted in the AllHipHop.com forums were Jay-Z talked about that whole Kanye West Taylor Swift Incident, and was asked about newer artist that could lead the game. This mother fucker co-signed some guy named " Bruse Wane." who the hell is that !!,So I checked the video and this guy is saying some shit like the people that signed me are Assholes. Now how is Jay-Z gonna Co-sign that, To me that means he must agree with this ****g dude;
Man fuck Jay-Z I'm established enough to hold my own and we are here to stay so get use to it brah. Let this go where it go, if any body is the future I'm the future. Is this a sign of a changing of the guard in Hip-Hop or is soulja boy biting off more than he can chew. With that being said I took the time out to research "Bruse Wane" and found the video footage that has Soulja boy so fired up. See it on youtube by searching " Bruse Wane" Global, for online readers click this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdBP--sEcBs related news Hip Hop Veteran "Chuck D" Of "Public Enemy" Had some harsh criticism towards "Gucci Mane" for his recent comments towards "Jay-Z" stating the following" Rappers such as Gucci Mane and Baby of Cash Money, who both sharply contested Jay-Z's top slot on MTV's "Hottest Rapper" list had no artistic right to be so vocal. Chuck D stated these were unfounded criticisms based on Jay-Z's body of work. Chuck said, "Jay-Z's just getting started. Gucci Mane, he'd be better off jumping in a swimming pool with a plugged in toaster"According to the "Atlanta Journal Constitution Newspaper" Soulja Boy has some issues... more

A new crop of eco-warriors take to their streets

It is 8:30 a.m. on a Sunday. Along streets of grimy stucco bungalows with bougainvillea, American flags and "Beware of Dog" signs on chain-link fences, a couple of residents are hosing down lawns.

It ought to be quiet, but it's not.

Behind the garden walls of Astor Avenue, there's a chugging and a hissing and a clanking and a squeaking. Two yellow locomotives, hooked to cars piled high with metal containers, idle on the track of the Union Pacific. Their stacks spew gray plumes of smoke.

"We call this cancer alley," said Angelo Logan, who grew up on the city of Commerce street. "And we're fed up."

Logan, 42, is part of a new generation of urban, blue-collar environmentalists. The son of a janitor and the youngest of five children, he dropped out of school in 10th grade and went to work as a maintenance mechanic in an aerospace factory.

Now he is executive director of East Yard Communities for Environmental Justice, with a paid staff of four and 200 members who join for $5 a year. They recruit door-to-door in Commerce, Bell Gardens, Montebello and East Los Angeles, where more than three-quarters of residents are working-class Latinos.

East Yard operates from a storefront on Commerce's Atlantic Avenue, a street lined with cheap motels and fast-food joints. It has no celebrities on its board, no publicity staff churning out press releases, no in-house attorneys to go toe-to-toe with $500-an-hour corporate law firms.

But in California, where Latinos, African Americans and Asians now collectively outnumber non-Hispanic whites, political power is shifting. Here especially, but also across the country, mainstream foundations, which had long supported environmental groups led by white lawyers and policy wonks, have begun to channel grants to community organizations run by Latinos and blacks who see clean air and water as civil rights.

In the Southland, these environmental justice activists, as they are called, wage war in the dense corridor that runs from the massive ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach through neighborhoods that line the 710 Freeway -- Wilmington, Carson, Compton, Huntington Park, Commerce-- and on through Riverside and San Bernardino counties, with their vast distribution warehouses.

"There are no buffer zones," said Gilbert Estrada, a teacher who co-founded the East Yard group with Logan. "We are the buffer zones."
