Darryl Pinkins spent a long, hard 25 years in jail for a very serious rape charge. He was sentenced in 1991 for allegedly dragging a woman into a car and abusing her. He plead innocent, but the jury sided against him. However, after those 25 years, he was proven innocent and was finally able to get some redemption. After a series of DNA tests, it was scientifically proven that Pinkins was not the accuser, despite the strong and steady accusations. DNA testing wasn’t introduced into the court systems until long after 1991, and even to this day many are still ignored by the jury. However, every once and while, the evidence is so strong that there is just no contesting it. That was the exact thing that happened with this case. The proof, which was brought to light thanks to the Indian Innocence Project, was just that solid. Once the evidence was introduced, it only took 3 days for Pinkins to get his freedom. Finally, The Day He’s Been Waiting For! Source His 24-year-old s...

          It’s been nearly 20 years since his unsolved murder stunned the rap community. Now, we are getting our first glimpse of Tupac Shakur as portrayed by Demetrius Ship in the upcoming biopic and it’s causing a bit of controversy amongst fans. Now, ever since Universal released the N.W.A. film, Straight Outta Compton, to rave reviews and big box office, the community has wondered if other hip-hop artists would see their stories brought to the big screen. There’s been talk of a Compton sequel focusing on Suge Knight and the rise of Death Row Records, as well as a long-delayed biography of Tupac. In fact, the latter title has been in development long before Ice Cube even considered getting the N.W.A. film made. Now, All Eyez On Me – named after one of Pac’s classic LPs, is getting ready to be released, having recently wrapped production in Las Vegas and a sequence from the movie has turned up online. Demetrius Ship’s Got The Look! Sourc...

Ever had such a gloomy day outside that you didn’t want to leave the house? Unfortunately, you still need to go to work or school, so you grab your umbrella and head out the door. You avoid walking in big puddles because you forgot your rain boots. Then, a car drives by and soaks you from head to toe. The struggle is real. A group of designers from South Korea are trying to make your stormy days that much brighter. The team put together “Project Monsoon” where they painted the streets of Seoul with hydrochromic paint. This is a special formula that stays invisible until it gets wet. Due to the three-week monsoon season, residents tend to stay inside and avoid the streets at all costs. Seoul’s colors disappear under the dark clouds, but with the help from Pantone, the crew changed all that. They were inspired by South Korea’s culture in order to make the streets flow like rivers, with all the animals included. Would you want to be trapped indoors after seeing something like this?...

One of the fiercest females in the rap game is catching a lot of heat and it’s not for her lyrics, but for the way she looks today. As most of her fans know, Lil Kim has been making a lot of headlines in the last couple of decades and not because of the albums she’s been dropping or the mixtapes she’s created. Instead, fans have been concerned about her apparent unhealthy addiction to plastic surgery. Rendered almost unnatural after multiple procedures, the diva set off another firestorm over the weekend posting a series of selfies on Instagram which showed her with blonde hair and noticeable lighter skin. Even if you followed every move she’s ever made, the current version of Kim looks nothing like she used to. Indeed, it’s quite the difference from back in the day when she was on the arm of one of the greatest the game has ever known – The Notorious B.I.G. While she shrugged off the haters with a few snappy comments, most of the reaction was sympathetic. In fa...
