My all time favorite hip-hop documentary is Bazooka Tooth, which centers around the legendary alternative/abstract/indie hip-hop label Definitive Jux and the profoundly talented artists that defined its early formation. If you’re a fan of Cannibal Ox, El-P, Aesop Rock, Def Jux, or underground hip-hop in general, this is a must see. Bazooka Tooth was recorded back in 2001-2002 when Def Jux was first starting to really take off and Cannibal Ox had recently released the label’s all time best selling album The Cold Vein (in my top 10 favorite hip-hop albums).

ONE OF THE REALEST THOUGHTS SHE HAS EVER WROTE!

I swear, I am going to reblog this the entire time I see it.

One of the risks of being quiet is that other people can fill your silence with their own interpretation: You’re bored. You’re depressed. You’re shy. You’re stuck up. You’re judgmental. When others can’t read us, they write their own story—not always one we choose or that’s true to who we are.

HELP BRING CARLESHA FREELAND-GAITHER HOME

Philadelphia police need our help finding 22-year-old Carlesha Freeland-Gaither who was abducted in the Germantown section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Sunday night, but was likely taken out of the state to Maryland. The young nurse was walking home from her godson’s party when an unknown man grabbed her, attacked her, and kidnapped her. The struggle took place around 9:40 PM on Sunday, October 02, 2014 at the intersection of Greene and West Coulter Street. The disturbing act was caught on camera and witnessed by people nearby. Security cameras show Carlesha fighting back, screaming, trying to fend off her attacker and almost getting free before she was put into the back of the suspect’s car and driven off. All that was left at the scene was broken glass, Carlesha’s glasses, and her cell phone. Her ATM card was used by an unknown male in Aberdeen, Maryland after the attack, a photo has not yet been released. Police are stressing that Carlesha was a good person and had no connections with any criminal or drug activity, and she did not know her attacker.

The car is a 2000-2002 Ford Taurus 4 door, dark gray metallic in colour, with Pennsylvania license plates. Carlesha kicked out the driver’s side and passenger’s side windows in the back of the car during the attack. The vehicle also has a rear spoiler and an unknown tag on the front bumper.

The suspect is believed to be a Black male, 5’10” with a medium build, between 25 and 30 years old, at the time he was wearing a dark jacket, a possible hoodie underneath, a dark hat and dark pants. It is believed he did not know the victim but attacked her at random.

Before the attack, the suspect can be seen driving up and parking along side Coulter Street, then getting out of his vehicle and crossing the street. He then walks towards Carlesha on the opposite side of the street, crossing back over when she passes and grabbing her.

Carlesha Freeland-Gaither is a Black 22 year old female, 5’3” tall, 125lbs, Brown eyes and braided hair with a tattoo on her lower back. She was last seen wearing a bluejean jacket, white sweater, and was carrying a black backpack.

A $15,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the kidnapper.

Anyone with information regarding this case should contact the Philadelphia Police Northwest Detectives at 215-686-3353, the FBI is also involved.

Carl Freeland, Carlesha’s father, has been putting up flyers and told reporters, “I don’t care what anyone has to do, just let my daughter come home, that’s all I’m asking.”

INFORMATION CURRENT AS OF 12:00 NOON ON 11/04/2014

UPDATE: Images from an ATM at a PNC Bank just off Interstate 95 in Aberdeen, Maryland at 6:01 AM Monday morning when Carlesha’s ATM card was used. Help us find and identify this man:

This is Carlesha:

The family says her ex-boyfriend is from Maryland and stalked her, tracking her down. He has not been identified as a suspect but was called “obsessive.”

The reward has been increased to $47,000.
