(Bigger Than) Hip Hop Project launches Program at Jennie Clarke Residence
David L'Creme Jr Filed Under:
Harlem, NY — On September 27th at 6:30pm, the (Bigger Than) Hip Hop Project, will have an orientation for students to launch its empowerment and hip hop based program at the Jennie Clarke Residence located in East Harlem at 183 East 100th St.
The (Bigger Than) Hip Hop Project aims to provide personal and educational empowerment in an environment of intergenerational learning for young people and, at the same time, increase the unity and positivity of hip-hop. We aim to do this by organizing and facilitating workshops that teach the elements of hip-hop – namely deejaying, emceeing, and creating graffiti art. We got our first funding in Spring 2009 and since then have been working to establish a concrete foundation to begin our programs with. The program will include workshops after school at the Jennie Clarke Residence every other Monday beginning October 4th from 6:30-8pm. The (Bigger Than) Hip Hop Project is the first student-run hip hop based organization in New York City. It is the only organization that focuses on education and incorporates all elements of hip hop throughout the entire year. It pairs New York Hip Hop artists from all genres, facets, and elements, with 6-12 year old students to teach and mentor them in their respective crafts.
On September 27th, New York local emcees, deejays, and graffiti artists will provide a show for students as an introduction into the program.
This is a project created by current NYU students, Alicia Bell, Bridget Rochios, Pamela Nguyen, and Mustafah Greene with the help and resources of Ashoka’s Youth Venture and the Catherine B. Reynolds Foundation.
In New York City, only 59% of students graduate. Upon examination of racial subgroups, the evidence for an existing racial disparity show. Approximately 43% of Hispanic students graduate; 47.2% of black students graduate; 68.8% of white students graduate, and 70.9% of Asian students graduate. In fact, African-American, Hispanic, and low-income children enter fourth grade with less knowledge and skills than White, Asian, and middle-income children, and continue to show lower academic achievement (both in terms of scores on standardized tests and in course grades) in all subsequent grade levels. It seems that a lot of these larger societal issues stem from a lack of empowerment from a young age.
The program, which will continue to expand into other schools and/or shelters in other boroughs and cities in future years, will launch this program at the Jennie Clarke Shelter on September 27th at 6:30pm. Support our city's youth.

AFC
North
Ravens 12-4
Steelers 10-6
Bengals 8-8
Browns 4-12
I think the Steelers hold up ok with Big Ben (everyone's saying 2-2, but even at 1-3 they aren't dead), but the Ravens are the class of this division and anyone who thinks otherwise is underestimating Joe Flacco. Bengals should be solid, Browns still suck.
South
Colts 13-3
Titans 10-6
Texans 8-8
Jaguars 6-10
Peyton Manning is not a man you bet against, he just keeps doing it. I expect a very good year for Vince Young who also just seems to win games. Arian Foster gives the Texans a good running game but despite his fantasy prowess, Matt Schaub has a tendency to throw bad int's at the worst possible times. Finally, I'm not buying that Mo-Jo is 100% and Garrard is done.
West
Chargers 11-5
Raiders 7-9
Chiefs 5-11
Broncos 5-11
This is the Chargers division to lose, and they won't. Raiders have potential to go 8-8, but I'll take a slightly less optimistic 7-9 with upside for improvement next year The Chiefs and Broncos are both in rebuild mode.
East
Patriots 11-5
Jets 9-7
Dolphins 9-7
Bills 3-13
Jets fans are gonna lose it over this, but it's a reflection on the genuine difficulty of their schedule and my personal lack of faith in Mark Sanchez. Of course they can make the playoffs, and there's a good shot they prove me wrong, but they have a giant bullseye on their backs and you can never count out the Patriots. I hate them but they never go away. The Dolphins will also be good and the Bills are the doormat of the AFC.
NFC
North
Packers 12-4
Vikings 9-7
Lions 7-9
Bears 5-11
I'm a big believer that the Packers are the class of the NFC. Good defense + great QB + weapons will make them tough to beat in January. The Vikings are gonna drop off, I feel like Favre is very due for a bad season or injury and this seems like as likely a time as any. The Lions are trending up, though at 7-9 I'm higher on them than most and the Bears falter for having nearly no offense to speak of.
South
Saints 12-4
Falcons 11-5
Panthers 5-11
Buccaneers 3-13
The champs still reign supreme in this division, but I'm a big believer in Matt Ryan and the Falcons and they have great playoff potential. The Panthers can't go far after losing Peppers and with Matt Moore as a QB and Tampa is a mess.
West
49ers 11-5
Cardinals 7-9
Rams 4-12
Seahawks 4-12
Onward to the worst division in pro football. The Rams and Seahawks will be bottom feeders and the 9ers should FINALLY break through as long as Alex Smith can be decent. The Cards are worse, but I don't predict a 5-11 apocalypse like many, and who knows maybe theyre lurking at 3-5 and they get Kurt to come back... who knows.
East
Cowboys 11-5
Redskins 10-6
Giants 10-6
Eagles 7-9
From the worst division to the best, I LOVE the NFC East. All 4 teams have a shot at the playoffs, but I bump the Eagles from a lack of faith in Kolb. I think the Redskins are getting badly slept on and may very well match the G-Men to force a tiebreak and squeak in. I like Dallas in the regular season and not in the playoffs, as per the usual.

"Devil in a tight dress girl you a kila go go go!!!!"
John Lennon's killer will continue watching the wheels go round from behind bars after being denied parole Tuesday for a sixth time.
Mark David Chapman met with a three-member Parole Board panel at the Attica Correctional Facility via video conference.
Chapman was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison after he was convicted of shooting the ex-Beatle four times outside his apartment on Dec. 8, 1980. He has served nearly 30 years of his sentence.
Chapman is next eligible to try for parole in two years. He was first eligible for parole in 2000.
Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, had reiterated her desire to the Parole Board that Chapman be kept behind bars.
Lennon, who would have turned 70 next month, was shot to death by Chapman while returning to his famed Dakota building apartment across from Central Park after a late-night recording session

I'm tryin to do it all tonight, I got plans
I got a certain lust for life, and as it stands
Everything is going as right, as it can
They tryin to shoot down my flight, before it lands... before it lands
But you can miss me with all that
Diss me then crawl back
I really wish ya'll would fall back
But gettin rich suppose to solve that
And these days women make offers and who the hell am I to say...no, no, no
My ex sendin late night text cause she don't know how to let...go, go, go
She in love
And as for them pretty light skinned models standin in the cold oh yea they with us
Let them girls in for a drink
And I'm all in they ear
Saying she should be the one I see, everytime, that I'm here
But when I'm not really even here?
Black surburban with the tint on it
Fresher than a pillow with a mint on it
The game got these old hand prints on it
But I'm a be the one to pour cement on it
Uh, and start over
And show up in the mars yellin Tux I don't really give a fuck and we're only getting older
So what I tend to do is think of today as the past
It's funny when you're coming in first but you hope that you're last...you just hope that it lasts
I got a certain lust for life, and as it stands
Everything is going as right, as it can
They tryin to shoot down my flight, before it lands... before it lands
But you can miss me with all that
Diss me then crawl back
I really wish ya'll would fall back

Life's story is as quick as the wink of an eye...
love's story is merely hello and goodbye...
until we meet again...
love's story is merely hello and goodbye...
until we meet again...
