READ:
Mobile jail units could be used in high crime areas to detain and charge suspects, the Conservatives say. Police could be back on the streets more quickly if they did not return to stations to process arrests, according to a policy paper from the Tories. The policy paper, for England and Wales, also proposes scrapping some forms which officers have to fill in. "We need to take the handcuffs off the police and put them on the criminals," said Tory spokesman David Ruffley. Mr Ruffley, shadow minister for police reform, said: "The public want the police back on the beat and that is where the police also want to be."
The specially-designed "mobile urban gaols" - or "MUGs" - would be deployed in areas afflicted by knife crime and anti-social behaviour. Suspects could be fingerprinted, swabbed for DNA and even charged, with the authorisation of a police sergeant via video-link. BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw commented: "The key policing debate is no longer about how many police officers are needed but finding ways to get them to spend longer on front-line duties." The units would provide "a more visible police presence for the public", says the policy paper, entitled "Back on the Beat". They would be deployed also at sporting events and shopping centres with high levels of shoplifting. The Tories also propose scrapping forms that must be filled in for some "straightforward police operations". "Twelve years of Labour red tape and bureaucracy have wasted police time, keeping them away from front-line crime-fighting," said Mr Ruffley.
Daaaaaammmnn.. Like that?

Short Film Contest
My great friend H Darrow over at Crooked Lake Productions is holding a short film contest. I forgot to post the news up here when he was taking submissions, but now he's got a bunch of "One Shot" stories to go through and wants people to decide his next film.
So got to http://crookedlp.com/news and vote on your favorite idea.
My vote goes to:
10. Not Enough
This is a story about a guy at a party having fun, interacting with his friends, while still feeling alone.
The shot starts behind the main character outside walking to the party then when he walks in the camera rotates and leads him to friends as he interacts with them. During these conversations with friends we learn about the character but never the reason behind everything being not enough.
K-os -4321
If you don't know who K-Os is then you need to google and step your music diversity up. I got my "advanced copy" of the new album... I like his last one better but its still pretty fresh.
I wanted to do a vid like this. Its using stop motion, but I don't have the patience to edit, shoot, and direct all that.

Heartless cover
Black Jesus on thug'n for the Lawd
In today’s time we got pop princes fuck’n up princess, the US dollar almost getting beat by the peso, and a Kanye’s afro-mullet. I think we all could use some Jesus in our life (or some grape soda and a lil head in my case). So here is black Jesus… he’s not like the one my momma had in her living room over the dinner table… you know the one with dreads and the African robe. No, this is “Black” Jesus aka Hood Jesus. I love Boondockbootlegs check them out.
ps: and if you think this is wrong and you might go to hell for watching and laughing at this, you might be right. I thought the same thing... that's why I pray after every "real-time" LOL... be safe people Heaven is a mile away.
Kid Cudi- Day and Night

Dir: So Me
This is a dope video… I guessing it was shot with a Sony Professional HVR-Z1U (I’m a canon man myself) with a nice 35mm adaptor thrown on it. The thing I like most about this video is that it was simple, cheap, and easy to shoot. The after effect which gave the video more of a thrill is what really makes this video stand out… looks like yung Cudi is trying to be like big brother Ye. I guess they are gearing up to present him to the world… next up to bat is Drake or Jimmy whatever you wanna call him it’s all the same in my hood.

A Fresh BreakDown - Joe Budden : Padded Room
"They say the room is padded for my own safety.. But the cushion don't soften shit.. They lock the door but still they let my thoughts in it.. I can't even see the sky from here, I guess my time is near.."
Joe Budden... Infamous in the underground (internet) for his lyrics and deep thought songs, and his Mood Music series. Although underground listeners appriciate his efforts, it doesn't cloud the fact he's had some rough rough times since his 1st album dropped on Def Jam years ago. Bad moves on both sides held "Mouse" back. He was hungry, and everyone else was hungry to hear Joey go to the next level with his next CD. A few wasted opportunities kept a classic-capable-artist from making a classic CD. So now with a new label, years of GROWTH (lmao), did he waste any opportunity, or did he capitalize on his absence and give his fans what they've been wanting.
Joe busts on the CD, reintroducing himself to the world, with a hot beat, and hammering in the idea of "only God can judge me." He dwindles in his past alil' bit, and speaks on how he's grown since back then and now. Not the beastly intro we've known Joe to make, but it certainly gets the job done.
Now one thing that plagued Joey's CDs (album, and mixtapes), he's felt the need to do an uptempo song for the club. But listening to Joe after "Pump It Up", realistic fans know that club music is sorta out-of-his-lane. But here, in a new friendship song with The Game, Joey actually pulls off a pretty decent song. And it doesn't seemed forced into the CD, since it's only the 2nd track in, and it doesn't lack charisma like in other club songs he's put out. But, prepare yourself, because that is the low point of Padded Room.
"Waiting on an antidote but I lack the patience, but on a 2nd thought I got my own vaccination"
Joe Budden starts to take the listener into the theme of him being in a padded room with "If I Gotta Go." Where he begins to question how people other than himself works, and shows us how he looks at things through his eyes. And he invites people to look at things his way. "I wish everybody would comprehend like I do, I know it don't sound like I want 'em in.. But I'd like to." And the sample, a deep eerie deep voiced hook, with the help of a guitar in the back ground, the listener should know that they truly are in Joe's Padded Room.
The album also shows how Joe paints himself as a black sheep in society. Songs like "Happy Holidays," displays this perfectly. Where re-enforces the fact that he looks at a holiday as just another day. And how his family annoys him. "Don't need a phone call or a present, matter fact, I don't need any of yall present." Damn even Christmas Joe? Speaking of "Christ"mas, (now this will only be deep to people that are Christians, I apologize to any other religions reading). In "Pray For Me", the listener gets to hear Joe get into an argument with God himself. And in the song, he's like most people, questioning God's methods, and in his argument with God, the listener finds the black marks on Joe's life. Which makes it much more authentic, and makes it seem as if its an actual quarral. Another quarral he discusses is that one with Prodigy of Mobb Deep, where he absolutely flexes that lyrical muscle and puts Prodigy's "Blood On A Wall." Lol.
Another avenue in the album is this song, where Joe speaks on the dark-side of Joe, who he loves and hates. On the songs "Exxxes" Joey embodies a girl as his bad personality whom is always calling his name. A lust for a her who knows all about Joe but they've never spoke, but he can't help himself into always getting into sexual encounters with him. It seems that this girl is the perfect sex slave, since he claims "her period is never on" and when she's giving demands he follows. Which maybe his deep morbid desires. "Is she just a symbol, there for me to look at everything I resemble... Since I'm in this room alone she becomes convientient. I hope we lie together, cry together-- die together." He disscusses more women in his song "I Couldn't Help It" with the help of a beat that reminds me a of a tragic love song. 1st he speaks about his baby's mother and the many ways he did her wrong and he never wanted just wanted the abortion. And if you remember the 1st CD you'll recall Joey having an affair with some famous rapper's wife. (Someone who he claims sold millions of records, and no it ain't Jay-Z). He really only scratched the surface on his 1st CD, but here, he gets in detail with her and.... Her friend, in a hotel room. "All I could think bout was him and her on TV with their kids while I had her on the TV on her ribs." Crazy right, yeah I know! Now you get the idea of the Padded Room. A Perfect album for the non-mainsteam cat, or Joe Budden fan to add to their collection.
