Backstage with 9th Wonder - No. 2 from LRG on Vimeo.

Black History and Hip Hop academia, do you think it’s important to fuse those two? We don’t know about you, but hip hop aficionado 9th Wonder seems to think so. In this second installment of our backstage pass video series with 9th Wonder, sit back and listen as 9th sheds some light on Black History and Reaganomics. Listen as 9th exposes the corrupt New York city school system for pulling the funding out of arts programs and investing in dogs to deter graffiti artists from painting trains. Do you know the significance of April 4th 1968 or March 9th 1997? We here at LRG, advise you to sit back and take notes because knowledge is power people! - LRG

Alicia Keys Gives Birth To Son Egypt

Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz are celebrating the birth of their first child, a son called Egypt Daoud Dean.

Alicia Keys has given birth to her first child, a baby boy called Egypt.

The 'Empire State of Mind' singer and her husband Swizz Beatz were celebrating the safe arrival of their first child together, Egypt Daoud Dean on Thursday (14.10.10).

Their spokesperson confirmed: "Swizz 'Kaseem Dean' Beatz, 32, and Alicia Keys, 29, joyfully welcomed their first child together, a son Egypt Daoud Dean on October 14 on New York City. Egypt is welcomed by Beatz's three other children."

The couple - who wed on the French island of Corsica in a romantic and intimate ceremony this summer - are delighted at the latest addition to their brood.

Shortly after Alicia gave birth, Swizz tweeted: "I'm so thankful for everything I been blessed with in my life wowwwwww! (sic)"

Egypt will be a younger brother to the rapper's sons Prince Nasir Dean, Kaseem Dean Jr. and daughter Nicole, from previous relationships.

Prince Nasir was his father's best man during his recent wedding, and handed over the rings to his dad and new stepmother. via Contactmusic.com

T.I. sentenced to 11 months for violating parole!!

The rapper T.I., arrested on drug possession last month in Los Angeles, is headed back to jail. A federal judge today sentenced the Grammy-winning hip-hop star to an 11-month prison sentence in Atlanta today. The arrest was a violation of T.I.’s parole; he was previously arrested in 2007 for trying to purchase illegal firearms and served jail time. The news comes at a bad time career-wise for the rapper. He had been working on a much-anticipated album called “King Uncaged” and recently scored a hit with the film “Takers,” which he starred in and produced.

Well i guess the so called "rescue" he pulled a day before his sentence didnt really matter much... def #schoolofhardknocks for the MC. smh
