Titus (Baatin) Glover, the Detroit rapper who co-founded the much-acclaimed Slum Village, has died.
Many details remain unknown at this point, said Hex, the group's road manager.
Word of Baatin's passing circulated quickly this afternoon in music circles both locally and nationally, where Slum Village has long been an exalted name in underground hip-hop.
Fellow group founder James (J. Dilla) Yancey, Baatin's Pershing High School classmate, passed away in 2006.
Baatin, who turned 35 in March, had left Slum Village in 2002 amid health problems, but was reported to have returned for tracks on the group's upcoming album, "Villa Manifesto."
AP – This booking photo released by the Cambridge, Mass., Police Dept., shows Harvard scholar Henry Louis … BOSTON – Prosecutors dropped a disorderly conduct charge Tuesday against prominent black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr., who was arrested at his home near Harvard University after a report of a break-in.
The city of Cambridge issued a statement saying the arrest "was regrettable and unfortunate" and police and Gates agreed that dropping the charge was a just resolution.
"This incident should not be viewed as one that demeans the character and reputation of professor Gates or the character of the Cambridge Police Department," the statement said.
Supporters say Gates — the director of Harvard's W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research — was the victim of racial profiling.
Officers responded to the home Gates rents from Harvard after a woman reported seeing "two black males with backpacks on the porch," with one "wedging his shoulder into the door as if he was trying to force entry," according to a police report.
Gates' lawyer, fellow Harvard scholar Charles Ogletree, said the professor had returned from a trip overseas with a driver, found his front-door jammed and had to force it open. He was already inside, calling the company that manages the property, when police arrived.
Police said the 58-year-old Gates was arrested after he yelled at an officer, accused him of racial bias and refused to calm down after the officer demanded Gates show him identification to prove he lived in the home.
Ogletree said Gates showed his driver's license and Harvard ID — both with his photos — and repeatedly asked for the name and badge number of the officer, who refused. He followed the officer as he left his house onto his front porch, where he was arrested.
Gates declined immediate comment Tuesday, and Ogletree did not immediately return a request to comment on the charge being dropped.
Gates joined the Harvard faculty in 1991 and holds one of 20 prestigious "university professors" positions at the school. He also was host of "African American Lives," a PBS show about the family histories of prominent U.S. blacks, and was named by Time magazine as one of the 25 most influential Americans in 1997.
this was sparked by this couple that came into the store today. are you ready for this? it was what i assume to be a heterosexually gay couple. peep this the girl was a huge extra butch type in demeanor. extra mean looking. the dude was a extra flamin "heeey". he greeted our staff with so much sweetness...anyways the kicker is they had a kid together. love is simple although it might seem complex at times. i try my best not to judge, so this is just an observation. i started randomly web surfing with no particular thing in mind and i ran into this website. p4cm.com. i can't figure out what it means, or what it is code for. i've tried to sound it out, spell it out. i just don't get it. i am really trying my best to not be that person making fun of people but damn. what the fuck. i understand being open out the closet and proud, but damn, really. are the models getting paid? can they read? maybe its just a blunt truth that is hard to understand. this shit seems real personal to me. do you wear these shits to the club? church? on a date? hanging with the fellas?
p- for-see- em, maybe. i don't get it. these seem like sins. do you wear them to confession?
dude is putting up a gang sign, don't be confused. he looks like he is thinking about fornicating right now, and he should have tucked in his chain so i could read his sin easier.
she looks like she has a problem with mastubation? i wonder how many people would pay money to wear something that isn't usual conversation. i mean i am down with shocking subject matter, thought provoking ideas on shirts. i don't know, maybe you want to share some past truths about yourself. if so this may be the brand for you.
