Hip Hop aka Hip-Life in Ghana!

Ghana is the home of Highlife music, which spread to Sierra Leone and Nigeria in the 1920's and then to other West African countries. Like most genres, it has grown and developed over the years, and has incorporated various influences. So you know it was only a matter of time before this party music was fused with Hip Hop to create what Ghana calls Hip-Life. Check out this short trailer on it.

More fallout over Tupac news story!

In the words of Illseed at allhiphop.com:

Today Jimmy Henchman (The Game's mgr among other things) is doing interviews at various networks ... to discuss a lawsuit being launched against the L.A. Times and writer Chuck Phillips, aka Scott Templeton.... I am hearing that Diddy, Henchman and even 90’s rapper Little Shawn are suing for a host of things, including defamation of character. I even heard this story is going to unearth the one and only “Haitian” Jacques Agnant. Word is he's been making calls from Haiti. You know, he was deported for some federal conviction. I guess he's angry that this story turned out to be false too! I wish Tupac was around to comment on all this f**kery!At least part of this rumor has been confirmed. Jimmy "Henchmen" Rosemond made his intentions clear though a statement.

"While we are gratified that the LA Times has acknowledged basing their article on fabricated FBI reports, their apology does not go far enough. Too often public figures are libeled and thought to be unwilling to defend themselves from the lies of bullying, publicity-hungry journalists. The fact is that Chuck Phillips placed Mr. Rosemond and his family in a potentially dangerous situation due to his actions which amounted to more than mere neglect: his actions were done with reckless disregard for the truth and for that the LA Times will be held responsible."
