KRS ONE AND MC SHAN REIGNITED THEIR 30 YEARS BEEF

KRS-One and MC Shan, Hip-Hop’s version of Ali and Fraizer,  just added another chapter to their 30-year long beef. The two veteran MCs are in yet another squabble over who won “The Bridge Wars.”

Just in case you’re not all the way up on your Hip-Hop history, KRS-One’s Boogie Down Productions and MC Shan’s Juice Crew were once in a bitter rivalry over where exactly Hip-Hop originated from. Shan and Juice Crew claimed that it started in Queens while KRS and BDP swore that it began in the Bronx. The conflict resulted in classic diss records like Shan’s “The Bridge” and KRS’ “South Bronx” and “The Bridge Is Over” being exchanged. The winner of the “Wars” was never officially named although many would say that it was KRS and BDP. Especially with KRS reminding anyone who will listen that he beat Shan in the battle.

But Shan isn’t quite ready to let it go.
In an interview with the Murder Master Music Show, Shan says that he feels that him and KRS never really battled to begin with. “Me and [KRS-One] never battled, ever,” said Shan. “I don’t care; any Hip-Hop historian knows a battle is two cats on stage, doing what they do.”

Shan went on to challenge KRS and even warned that he has a stash of rhymes ready for KRS when they finally do battle on stage. Murder Master Music Show host Prez claims to have invited KRS to appear and rise to the challenge, but instead received a phone call where KRS demanded an apology from Shan

That did not happen.
Shan however did respond with a blistering freestyle over the phone on the next episode of the show. For three straight minutes, Shan rapped with no beat. Before you judge, take a listen, Shan came with some pretty vicious bars and ended it with “that’s your apology.” Perhaps this this is a preview of the rhymes he claims to have stashed away.

ANGOLAN RAPPER LUATY BEIRAO JAILED FOR REBELLION



A prominent Angolan rapper has been sentenced to five-and-a-half years in prison for planning a rebellion against President Jose Eduardo dos Santos.
Luaty Beirao was sentenced by a court in the capital, Luanda, along with 16 other activists who were given jail terms of between two and eight years.
Amnesty International said they had been sentenced by a "kangaroo court".
The 17 were arrested in June after discussing a book about non-violent resistance at their book club.
Mr Dos Santos has ruled oil-rich Angola since 1979
Beirao, also known by his stage name Ikonoklasta, has been an outspoken critic of the government, calling for a fairer distribution of the southern African state's oil wealth.
He embarked on a five-week hunger strike in September in protest at his detention.
The judge convicted him of "rebellion against the president of the republic, criminal association and falsifying documents"

The trial had prompted global outrage, with rights groups saying it showed that Mr Dos Santos' government was becoming increasingly repressive in its attempts to remain in power.
Human Rights Watch said the verdict was "a ridiculous scandal", while Amnesty International described the defendants on Twitter as "prisoners of conscience" who had been subjected to a "kangaroo court trial [which] violated international standards".
Prosecutors defended the arrests, arguing that the 17 were planning an uprising among students and workers "with incalculable consequences".
The jailed activists, who belonged to a youth movement, had previously held demonstrations demanding the resignation of Mr dos Santos, who has been in power for 36 years.
Their book club had discussed the 1993 book by Gene Sharp called From Dictatorship to Democracy: A Conceptual Framework for Liberation.
Angola is Africa's second-largest oil producer, and has witnessed an economic boom since the end of a civil war in 2002.
However, critics of the elected government say the wealth has only benefited a small elite.
