PS: That was an obvious jab at Solar right?

Parrish McKittrick from SOB’s kicked it with Money Miz from HipHopAndBS.com to talk about the monumental Hip Hop For Haiti Benefit Concert that’s happening this Friday night at 11:00 PM at SOB’s in Manhattan. Performances by Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz, Styles P, Cormega, J the S, Donny Goines, Emilio Rojas, and many special guests. The benefit is to raise funds for the people of Haiti. Great cause, great concert

Since the recent tragedy that has befallen the proud and persevering nation of Haiti, there has been an outpouring of support followed by a few disturbing falsities being spread about the history of the island and its people. I wrote the following to shed some light on events during and around the Haitian Revolution. Please remember memorizing and reiterating should never pass for learning. Deciphering the significance of individuals and events is what truly teaches us not just about history, but also about ourselves.

There is a wide spectrum of beliefs behind what has caused Haiti to suffer ceaselessly over the years. Some see the problem as being mostly political, bad governance, modern day colonialism, and the perceived necessity to make an example to the world of what a successful slave revolution will get you. There are even those on the fringe who cling to an ancient superstition that the island was freed by a mythological pact with Satan (video) In order to shed light on the issue I am forced to go back in time. Obviously not to the beginning of occupational history, but far enough to give others a realistic perspective on Haiti and it’s struggle.

The teaser was out there but this is the first part of the full interview.

The second tribute show dedicated to the memory of Roc Raida went down a few months back and was organized by Lord Finesse. Performers and appearances by the likes of Kool Herc, Jazzy Jay, Large Professor, Grand Puba, Sadat X, A.G., Immortal Technique, Neek The Exotic, O.C. and The Beatnuts. Peace to Ness for letting me record. More videos after the jump. link
