Chris Brown Slams The Grammy Awards In Online Tirade


Chris Brown

R&B singer, Chris Brown, has slammed the Grammys, after receiving only one nomination this year. Brown was given a nomination for his song "Only" featuring rapper Nicki Minaj. Brown tweeted, "#GRAMMY? This is probably the main reason I love being free to create any kind of music I want. Too many people kiss as* and work less. If u turn on ya radio right now I promise within the hour you will hear Chris Brown on damn near half the songs I've co-written." Then Brown deleted the tweets.  

Brown is right about the Grammys. They are completely corrupted. I will cite a few examples. It's a disgrace that untalented Jay Z (21 Grammys), who is a chronic copyright thief, has more Grammy awards than the exceptionally talented music legends, Michael Jackson (13 Grammys) and Aretha Franklin (16).

Jay Z's wife, the marginally talented Beyonce (20 Grammys), another chronic copyright thief, also has more Grammys than Jackson and Franklin, which is an absolute disgrace. Do they realize how absurd and ridiculous they look as an awards committee having done this. I can't even take the Grammys seriously anymore after they did such a disgraceful and corrupt thing. It reeks of bribery. Yea, I said it. You should be embarrassed, as it looks so bad and cheapens the award.

Jay Z and Beyonce are the butt of jokes all over the internet for stealing copyrights for every project they release, yet due to music industry corruption, they are constantly on the podium accepting Grammy awards for stealing other people's preexisting copyrighted material.

On what planet are Jay Z and Beyonce more talented than Michael Jackson and Aretha Franklin. It's clear the Grammy committee has lost its collective mind to let the award fall to such a low. It has become a con and a farce. Jay Z's artist, Rihanna, who can't sing to save her life and has made a career out of copyright infringement, won Grammys as well. Madonna, who's whole career is one act of copyright infringement after another, none of her work belongs to her, won Grammys as well.

This corruption has completely removed the prestige of the award to the point many people don't value or care about it anymore. The whole thing is completely rigged.

Years ago I tried nominating the late, legendary music producer, Clement "Coxsone" Dodd, the man who invented reggae music, for an award (he is my godmother's husband). Madonna got involved and did her level best to thwart it and succeeded in doing so, via a situation she should not have even been involved in at all. The Grammy committee placed all sorts of obstacles in my way, via an email exchange that revealed the corruption. Dodd invented a style of music that has grossed billions of dollars in sales (he was the first to sign Bob Marley) and is known all over the world, yet they did this. I will never respect or honor the Grammys again. I don't even watch the telecast anymore. Waste of time.

I do believe a time is coming when the Grammys will start rescinding awards they had previously issued, as was done regarding Milli Vanilli, as the farce that has been transpiring with certain artists, particularly on Sony, is going to single-handedly take that awards down.

Buju Banton Facing New Charges After Mistrial


Buju Banton

37-year-old dancehall singer, Buju Banton, real name, Mark Anthony Myrie, was arrested in Miami, Florida, in December 2009, on cocaine possession charges. However, the initial case resulted in a mistrial in September 2010. Banton, had been remanded into custody and denied bail throughout the case, but was recently freed.

A few weeks ago, the U.S. government declared it is indicting Banton on the same charges again, adding two new counts to the case.

Many believe Banton was targeted, due to his anti-gay lyrics, on negative songs such as "Boom Bye Bye." Pro-gay groups have consistently hounded organizers into dropping him from concerts.

While the Judiciary Report retains its Christian faith, adhering to the Bible view that homosexuality is a sin that God offers forgiveness for, if there is repentance, a theme others such as Joel Osteen have stated as well, Banton and entertainers who make similar music, should not record violent lyrics. Yes, they have the right to free speech, but it is unkind to incite violence through music or any other medium. This needs to stop.

Dancehall is an offshoot of reggae, which was not violent. When my godmother's husband, the late Clement "Coxsone" Dodd, created reggae music, it was positive and uplifting. The music spoke of love and discussed social struggles, such as inequality, racism and poverty, giving people hope.

Dodd signed Bob Marley to his first deal and the singer/musician went on to spread a message of love, through songs like, "One Love," "Could You Be Love," "Is This Love," "No Woman No Cry" and "Redemption Song" to name a few. Marley's music touched the masses and also grossed over $3 billion dollars and counting.

From reggae sprang dancehall and later rap, two genres that have become quite negative, departing from its early positive roots. Count Machuki, who started rap in Jamaica as apart of Coxsone's sound system, then DJ Kool Herc, who brought it to America, inspired positive music from artists such as the Sugarhill Gang.

Regrettably, others later misused the genres and turned them into something undesirable and full of negative sounds. In the 1990s, things took a turn for the worse, when dancehall spewed heinous "murder music" in Tivoli Gardens (Jamaica) and rap gave birth to a terrible offspring, known as "gangsta rap" in Compton (America). Things swiftly went downhill from there.

Banton did begin his career with uplifting tracks, such as the infectious and touching, "I Wanna Be Loved" - a song even Bob Marley would have loved. However, Banton later departed from that sound, which he should have retained, rather than going the other route. Banton would do well to return to positivity in his music and life.

The Judiciary Report prefers comedic dancehall music, such as the hilarious song "Clarks" as opposed to violent or lewd songs, which are debasing. Two years ago, the Jamaican government began an initiative to ban violent and explicit music from the nation's airwaves and it was the right thing to do.

Brad Pitt Talks Too Much

Actor Brad Pitt, who left his wife of five years, actress Jennifer Aniston, to be with thespian-lesbian, Angelina Jolie, has been yapping away for an interview.

The once Baptist, Pitt, turned out by Hollywood bisexuality, claims he has found a soul mate in atheist, Angelina Jolie, has abandoned his faith in God and is upset because religious organizations denounced his stance on gay marriage, because he supposedly believes in equal rights.

Jennifer Aniston

What a crock. Considering your film company and others affiliated with you have been to this website and my Copyrighted Catalog did illegally pass through your company, Plan B, in conjunction with thieving ringleader Madonna and her label/film studio Warner Bros, with whom you have a distribution deal, I'm not buying that "I believe in equal rights" rubbish from you. Practice what you preach, buddy.

Not to mention, your so-called soul mate starring in the copyright infringing film "Salt" being produced by Sony, who robbed my godmother's husband, who invented reggae music, to the point he had to sue them, in a separate incident invited me to their offices via email, which I did not oblige, then took it full circle in criminally robbing me of a fortune in copyrights they gained illegal access to, I do not believe you and Jolie are the goody-two-shoes you pretend to be. I now believe you are frauds and I have lost all respect for both of you.

Angelina Jolie

Furthermore, the industry knows you are in lust, not love with Jolie and are with her because she brought you all this public attention. The fame machine surrounding the two of you has been going full speed for a few years.

However, it is also difficult to respect your choices in leaving your loyal wife, whom you actually loved, because people were telling you "Angelina's hotter." Grow some testicles, already...and a proverbial spine, while you're at it.

"And great shall be the fall thereof."

Brad Pitt Comments on Marrying His "Soul Mate" Angelina

August 06, 2009 - After years of dating and six children together, we often forget that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie aren't married. They seem to have a picture perfect family life, but why haven't they tied the knot yet?

During an interview with Parade magazine Brad opens up about his "soul mate" Angelina and why they won't get married right now, smoking too much weed, and religion. Here are some highlights from the interview:

Brad on why he won't marry Angelina right now:

“I have love in my life, a soul mate—absolutely. When someone asked me why Angie and I don’t get married, I replied, ‘Maybe we’ll get married when it’s legal for everyone else.’ I stand by that, although I took a lot of flak for saying it—hate mail from religious groups. I believe everyone should have the same rights. They say gay marriage ruins families and hurts kids. Well, I’ve had the privilege of seeing my gay friends being parents and watching their kids grow up in a loving environment.”

Brad on Prop 8:

"It's ridiculous that Prop 8 took away gay people's right to marry! I have no understanding of that kind of hatred. Maybe it's fear of difference or of the unknown. If you feel belittled, maybe you need someone else to belittle to feel powerful. It's the only way I know how to explain it. You've got religion telling you what to think about homosexuality, about marriage. They say homosexuality is a choice, a lifestyle, something you can be cured of, and that isn't true. But if you're tucked away and have no friends who are gay, you'll believe what the preachers say. Just think of it in terms of being in love--how would you feel if someone told you that you couldn't be with the person you loved?"

Brad on growing up Christian:

"I grew up in a Christian community and for me the positive thing was that once a week, on Sundays, we focused on bigger issues. But the negative to me is that it was very stifling in the end because it was about what you can't do. Now, Christians will argue, 'That's not true.' To me, I just found Christianity to be, 'Don't do this, don't do that.'"

Brad on France being better than the U.S.:

"There's real value in the quality of life in France. They've got a great healthcare system, great education. The Lycee Francaise is a bilingual international school that works for us because we can plug the kids into the school program even if we are off doing a movie somewhere, like London or New York. Most places have a Lycee program.
