AMERICAN HIPHOP PRODUCER, SWIZZ BEATZ PAYS TRIBUTE TO FELA KUTI WITH "SWIZZ BEATZ VS FELA KUTI PT. 1"

Fela Kuti has been celebrated in America by american hiphop acts times without number, which brings to mind questions like, do these american acts appreciate fela's music and works than we do?

At first, Talib kweli, kelis, common, mosdef and others came together to mix fela's songs some years ago to honour the late afro beat legend. Timbaland also sampled fela's song. Then, Jayz and will smith produced a musical "fela!" to honour fela kuti. Followed by beyonce's controversial tribute to fela on a french magazine.

Swizz beatz mixed some popular hiphop songs he has produced with some collections of fela's original songs, and he called this "swizz beatz vs fela kuti Pt. 1". He released the 9-track mash-up on january 31st (another monster monday). I love this, makes fela's music more appealing to the hiphop fans around the world.
Here is the track list
1. Fela (Intro)
2. "Touch It" ("Touch It" /"Chop & Quench")
3. "Money In The Bank" /"Yellow Fever"
4. "Get Me Bodied" / "NoAgreement"
5. "Swing Your Rag" / "WhoNo Know Go Know"
6. "Its Me Snitches" /"Kalakuta Show"
7. "Tambourine" / "AfricanWoman"
8. "Check Up On It" /"Gentleman"
9. Fela (Outro)

21 YEAR OLD MISS IRELAND ATTACKED FOR DATING NIGERIAN BOY

21 year old miss Ireland, Emma Waldron has been criticized for dating a 23 year old nigerian called Manners Oshafi. Emma claimed she has been rebukked many times by people for dating a black man; some "racists" went ahead to launch an internet campaign (threatening her on social networking sites and others) against the young beauty for having a nigerian as boyfriend. Emma was the 4th in the miss world competition held last year.. In spite of all these, Emma refused to let it get to her...this was her reply, concerning the whole issue

"There is only one race, the human race. What matters in friendship and love is the heart and soul of the person you have a relationship with, not their colour, nationality, creed or background. I love my boyfriend with every cell in my body and nothing anyone says will change that. It upsets me that people have negative things to say about a love and friendship that is so beautiful. We don't need others approval.

I so much respect her courage and how she stood her ground

I spent at least four to six hours every day campaigning on social network platforms, TV/Radio, and print media. My team and I did everything we could from explaining the process, to following people on twitter that posted pictures of their registration cards, to giving away cell phone airtime and

What does that Boy know about Education, Employment, Exploitation.

What you need to know about me is just my career, my TV show and my upcoming radio venture. For now, I'm not going to tell anybody about my family life or private life... I do not know where the rumor is coming from. Nobody has any right to ask me about my family so I am not going to answer again. I am just showing you guys respect. Many people have called me and I have told them that nothing is going on. I'm still with my family and still married to my dear wife..."
