MAMAHIPHOPe - HISTORY SPOTLIGHT

Born a slave in Tennessee on May, 15, 1832, Mary Fields grew up an orphan,never married and had no any children. But she was admired and respected for holding her own and living her own ways in a world where the odds were stacked against her. While African American and women of any race enjoyed little freedom any where in the world, Mary Fields enjoyed more freedom than most white men.
At the end of the civil war, the 6 foot tall and 200 pounds, Fields headed to Montana in search of an opportunity and was hired to do heavy works for the nuns in catholic convent in cascade. Fields carried a pair of six footers and a 10 gauge,. and loved the children of Cascade County. The tough short-tempered woman had a standing bet that she could knock a man out with one punch,and she never lost a dime to anyone foolish enough to take her on that bet. She wasc also the only woman of reputable character in Cascade County allowed to drink in a local bar as ordererd by the mayor. But this tough woman has also a caring side to her.
Marry Fields helped build the St. Peters mission school and supported the local baseball team as its no.1 fan,preparing buttonhole bouquest of flowers for each player from her own garden,with larger bouquest reserved for run home hitters.After opening her own cafe with the help of the nuns,she closed thereafter because she fed the hungry who were unable to pay( although rumors suggesting that her cooking were horible).

After Bishop Brondell, the first catholic bishop in Montana, received co,plaints about her behaviour( the fights,the drinking and the smoking),he told the convent that Marry Fields must leave. The nuns helped secure a mail for her and Fileds became the second woman in the country to manage a mail route. They even supplied her with a wagon and a team and a team of roses for the route. Marry became a legend known AS "Stagecoach Marry" for her unfalling reliability as she miss miss a day on the job.

Fields retired from stagecoach driving at the age of 70 and opened a laundry business. The people of town thoght so highly of her that on her birthday they would close the local on her nonor.She would then buy candy and trees for the children.Fileds was also trested to free meals at the New Cascade Hotel for the rest of her life when it was leased in 1910.Two years later,when her home ( and busines lanudry), was burned down, the citizens built her a new one.

Sensing that the end was near in 1914, Fields took some blanket and went in to the tall weeds near her home.Some children playing nearby found her lying there,and she was to hospital where she died a few days later. She was burried in a small cemetery,alongside the road between Cascade and St.Peters Mission that she had travelled many times during her life. Her grave is marked with a simple cross.

TRACK YA WIKI TOKA MBELE; ALL THE ABOVE BY MAINO FEATURING T PAIN.

Wengi wamemfahamu baada ya kuisikia hit yake " All the Above" akiwa amefanya na mtu mzima T.PAIN. Alizaliwa kwa jina la Jermaine Coleman, huko Brooklyn, New York City. Baada ya kuachia mixtapes kadhaa na kushirikishwa katika track mbalimbali, Maino alisainishwa na label ya Universal Records,hiyo ilikuwa mwaka 2006, baada ya kuona Universal Records hawampi sapoti ya kutosha katika kutangaza kazi,mchizi aliamua kuachana na label hiyo mwaka 2007 na kusign katika label ya Atlantic Records. Akiwa na label yake mpya, Maino alitoka na track yake kali iliyokwenda kwa jina la "Hi Hater". Baadaye aliachia remix ya wimbo huo akiwa na T.I,Swizz Beats, Plies,Jadakiss na Fabolous. Single ya "Hi Hater" haikufanya vizuri sana kama ilivyo fanya single yake iliyofuata "All the Above"ambayo ndo imemtambulisha vyema katika ulimwengu wa muziki . Single ya mwisho katika albamu yake iankwenda kwa jina la Million Bucks iliyotayarishwa na mkali Swizz Beats. Mwezi August,2009,Maino aliachia remix ya track ya 5O Cents, Ok You are Right?/"BK BK" ambayo ameitumia kukielezea kitongoji alichozaliwa na kukulia " Brooklyn". Yacheki mashairi ya track ya ALL THE ABOVE, ambayo ndio imemtoa mchizi.

JOHN SINGLETON NA WATU WEUSI.

Akimtumia mhusika Tupac Amaru Shakur,katika movie ya POETIC JUSTICE Mwandishi na muongozaji mahiri wa filamu nchini Marekani,John Singleton anamuelezea mtu mweusi katika namna tofauti tofauti. John Singleton anawaelezea watu weusi kama watu wasio na staha, wasio wastaarabu( watu wasio weza kuishi kwa kufuata utaratibu), wasioweza kukaa pamoja kwa amani ( bila kugombana kwa sababu zisizo na msingi), n.k. Picha lenyewe lilikuwa hivi;vijana wanne ( wasichana wawili na wavulana wawili), waliukuwa wakisafiri kutoka Los Angeles California kwenda San Francisco kwa ajili ya mapumziko mafupi. Baada ya mwendo mrefu, walifika katika eneo moja la wazi mfano wa bustani. Ni harufu ya vyakula vizuri ndo iliyo wastua vijana haio ambao kwa muda huo walikuwa na njaa ya kutosha. Waliposhuka kwenye gari macho yao yalikumbatiwa na umati mkubwa watu ( wote weusi ) waliokuwa wakifanya mambo tofauti tofauti ikiwa ni pamoja na BERBAQUE. Kwa ifupi ilikuwa ni FAMILY REUNION. Wakiwa wanashangaa mmoja kati ya watu waliokuwa katika sherehe hiyo aliwakaribisha wa bashasha akimuita Tupac Shakur , " cousin", naye akishajua kuwa jamaa hana uhakika na anachokifanya akaitikia na kuaribishwa yeye pamoja na wenzake. Mambo mengi yalitokea hapo. Tupac Shakur na Janet Jackson wakiwa wanapata msosi( walikuwa wameshakaa kwenye eneo hilo kwa takribani dajika 20 hivi au zaidi) , ndipo Mwandishi John Singleton akimtumia Tupac Shakur anamuelezea mtu mweusi katika namna ifuatayo;

" Since i have born, i have neva seen a large group of black people like this one, and there are no some fightings".

Mdau, unatafsiri hivi sentensi hiyo?

KUFURU ZA REMMY MA, NDO ZILIZO MPELEKA GEREZANI!

Mdau unaikumbuka albamu ya Remmy Ma, aliyoibatiza jina la SHESUS KHRIST?, Unalikumbuka cover la albam hiyo?, God Forbid! How blasphemy is that?. Albamu hiyo na cover la albamu hiyo ndo vinavyo elezwa kuwa chanzo cha mdada huyo kutupwa gerezani miaka kitatu kwa kosa la kumshambulia mdada mwenzake kwa risasi na kumsababishia ulemavu kwenye club moja ya usiku, akimtuhumu kumuibia dola 3000 zilizokuwa kwenye pochi yake ( was she high or something?, i bet she was high). Tangu Remmy ma atoe albamu hiyo,amekuwa akiandamwa na matukio ya ajabu na amekuwa akifanya mambo kama mtu aliyechanganyikiwa hivi( cocaine or something? sijui!!),jambo linalo tafsiriwa kama laana kutoka kwa Mungu. Mfano katika tukio la kustaajabisha, Remmy Ma, bila ya wasiwasi wowote, aliperform jukwaani huku viungo vyake vya uzazi vikiwa vinaonekana. ( Damn!, this is not hiphope!).
Vituko vya wasanii wa kariba ya Remmy Ma, ambao sisiti kuwaita mamluki wa hiphope ndo vinavyo ufanya muziki wa hiphope upoteze uthamani wake na kuonekana kama muziki wa wahuni, jambo ambalo si la ukweli hata kidogo. Anyway MAMAHIPHOPE MAGAZINE tunamuombea Mungu our SISTER-IN-HIPHOPE, aweze kutumikia kifungo chake salama, na atoke akiwa amebadilika kitabia, ajutie makosa yake, atubu na marudie Mungu wake. Sisi tumekwisha msamehe na tuna ahidi kumpokea kwa mikono yote miwili siku atakayo bisha hodi kwa mara nyingine kwenye hili game la hphope.
