    The Decade of Decadence: Racial Divide and Police Brutality in the 80s The early to mid-1980s were a time of relative political and social stability in the United States.

    Case Study of a DJ: James Brown By Alvin Wilson Funky Drummer: There is a section where James Brown, the drummer and the sax come together in a beautiful and interesting manner. This portion of the song is from 3:38-3:56. It has that infectious riff. This portion when looped to create a chorus would surely get the crowd going incessantly.

    If I had been prosecuting James Earl Ray I do feel that my case would have been strong enough to win at trail. Based on the eye witness, his confession and the fingerprints alone would have been enough to convict him. Although, he later recanted his confession, there was no other evidence available to support his claim that he did not shoot King himself, but was a conspirator. I would argue why would anyone purposely leave their fingerprints on murder weapon. Ray claimed he just wanted to be famous, but what person would risk getting the death penalty for fame?…

    Actually, the evidence found did point to James Earl Ray as the perpetrator of the crime and no other evidence other than claims of a conspiracy were found at the scene. However, there were some weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, the two witnesses at the rooming house could not identify the man they saw running from the bathroom after the shot. Nor could they match the gun to the mangled bullet that killed Doctor Martin Luther King (Polk, 2008). A confession of this crime helped the prosecutors put James Earl Ray behind bars and kept him there until his death. Nevertheless, I believe a good prosecutor could win this case.…

    For many decades, there has been the connotation that “rappers want to be athletes, athletes want to be rappers” (Stoute 150). We’ve seen the intermingling of the two professions from the early 90s when Shaquille O’Neal started rapping (Joseph, Revisiting Shaquille). Others, like Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson, also hopped on the bandwagon early. Now, there are much more serious attempts by those of Louis Williams and Damian Lillard. On the other side, we have seen numerous hip-hop artists show their love for sports.…
