Red Bull EM SEE - Battle - Atlanta
via youtube.com
Final round of the Red Bull EM SEE battle which saw Mad Illz and Manchild, of Mars Ill, square off. Manchild is the second emcee to battle and ended up winning it all.
Mad Illz had the pure hype, but Manchild had the superior skill.
The Red Bull EM SEE battle had images posted up which each rapper had to turn into a freestyle, hence the play on words in emcee.

Q’orianka Kilcher is half Peruvian Indian on her father’s side, of Quechua/Huachipaeri descent. Kilcher talks about the Peruvian Indian protests and how she’s helping them.
from the LA Times:
Late last week, Q’orianka and her mother flew to Peru, which in recent days has been the scene of violent clashes between police and Amazon indigenous groups, who are protesting the turning over of tribal lands to oil drilling, logging and mining. The clashes have left more than 30 people dead and brought severe criticism of President Alan García, who is pushing to open the Amazon for commercial development, over his government’s handling of the affair. Under domestic and international pressure, last week Peru’s Congress suspended the pro-development decrees that sparked the protests, but the situation is far from resolved.

“Barking Water” Official Teaser Trailer 2009 Sundance Film Festival Selection (via 1982films)
“Before Oklahoma was a red state, it was known as the Land of the Red People, described by the Choctaw phrase Okla Humma. In his sophomore film, Sterlin Harjo takes viewers on a road trip through his own personal Oklahoma, which includes an eclectic mix of humanity.Irene and Frankie have a difficult past, but Frankie needs Irene to help him with one task. He needs to get out of the hospital and go home to his daughter and new grandbaby to make amends. Irene had been his one, true, on-again, off-again love until they parted ways for good. But to make up for the past, Irene agrees to help him in this trying time.With steady and graceful performances by Richard Ray Whitman as Frankie and Casey Camp-Horinek as Irene, this story takes viewers for a ride in the backseat of Frankie and Irenes Indian car, listening to their past and the rhythmic soundtrack that sets the beat for a redemptive road journey. Harjo wraps us in the charm and love of Oklahoma through the people and places Irene and Frankie visit along the way. In this sparingly sentimental and achingly poignant film, Harjo claims his place as one of the most truthful and honest voices working in American cinema today. Barking Water is an expression of gratitude for the ability to have lived and loved.”
