News <p>Tyga seems to be having the worst luck with releasing his album “Careless World”. After several pushbacks, the album was finally set to be released on February 21st. Now it seems that stores, such as Best Buy and iTunes, are pulling the album because of an unauthorized Martin Luther King speech being used. The MLK speech can be found on the album’s first track ‘Careless World’. From what we can see, the label is going to resolve the issue and hopefully have the album in stores in 2 weeks.</p>

Every other Friday they are looking at some of the first hip-hop music videos, which were played on a TV show called "Video Music Box". "Video Music Box" was created back in 1984, and was the first show to document hip-hop music and culture (and it's still on today!). The show was created and hosted by a man named Ralph McDaniels.
