Sean "Puffy" Combs has established himself as one of the biggest names in hip-hop (Heal). Combs a Harlem native whose father was killed when he was only 3 years old, rose from the mean streets to the top of the music business (AP wire, March 18). "It is true that he started from scratch, and I don't think that because he was arrested, people will stop buying his albums (AP wire, March 18).

Miles White, who is a former staff writer for USA Today and author of a critical social-historical study of hip hop culture. “In 2007, I attended a concert by 50 Cent in the Czech Republic capital of Prague that had been heavily advertised for several weeks with a darkened, grimacing image of the Queens, New York, rapper on large posters throughout the city.

Black pathologies include characteristics such as rising rates of poverty and crime, selling of drugs, and being unemployed. It appears that some elements of Jay Z’s biography fit this “tangle of black pathology” stereotype.

With that said, I feel as if the petition for Chief Keef to be banned will stand in Rhode Island. If your own home town mayor doesn’t want you performing at a “Stop the violence” charity event via hologram why any other state would be so willing. . . Either way there’s no win for Keef in the performing aspect. Petitioning him is stopping art, not just the artist. I make beats and instrumental’s and I have friends who have been on the radio. I know just as well as them if they cut you off like that they’re taking your voice

When thinking of the Hip-Hop industry, one of the first names that comes to mind is Tupac Shakur. Shakur was born in the Bronx on June 16, 1971. He was reared by his mother Afeni Shakur who was an active member of the Black Panthers. Tupac's family later relocated to Oakland, California, where he spent much of his time on the street.

The founder, George Eastman, described Kodak’s competitive philosophy by commenting that “nothing is more important than the value of our name and the quality it stands for.
