City Targets Tacoma Hiphop, Rottweiler Records responds.

Don’t be surprised if you see some people out in front of the Pantages voicing their support.

Once again the mural on the side of embellish has changed. Saturday and Sunday writers Kegs, Charms, Auras, Ksra, Dkoy, Foes, Pubs, Jrat, Letgo, Yuk, and Clone left their mark. The ever evolving wall is something more businesses of Tacoma should look at. Many of the murals in Tacoma get stale and just start to look bad why not switch it up every few months?

Tacoma Hiphop Rally Tomorrow at Pantages @ Noon

There has been some loose organization of a protest/rally tomorrow at the Pantages theater at noon. March 10, 2008.

This is what was posted by the promoters:

The city of tacoma would like you to believe they are for diversity and growth, but we call their bluff! They welcomed a rap show in december. They wanted the new and fresh to share in the performing arts community. Rottweiler rented the building hired e40 , tickets went on sale, Kube started advertising, then the TPD stepped in. To insure the safety of the night we agreed to hire additional security including 19 tacoma police officers, 20 staff pro employees, and the numerous broadway center staff. (for an event that holds only 1100 people) then they gave us three days to pay all of these people. And when we give them there money and jump through their hoops, they then decided to scare the community. They want to blame e40 but they couldn’t prove any violence at his concerts, so they want to blame the local artists and their fan base. They would like people to believe that if you throw up your neighborhood or hang in a certain part of town, or try to put a certain event on you are condoning gang activity. They are using your myspace posts and comments for their arguments. They claim the Rottweiler crew and e40 will bring violence and riots downtown that night. So its time to join together to show the communities and hip hop events don’t constitute gang violence. We are speaking out and would like your feelings on the subject. rottweiler is a family and community based organization. that support all the performing arts of all kinds!

Organization then started happening online and plans to rally in protest started popping up.

Embellish Mural gets a Makeover

Last evening I was driving down to Pacific from Tacoma avenue to grab some food and i look to my right and to my shock and horror, the Embellish mountain-scape-graffiti mural was being painted over with a gray background. I pulled over, I barely had the ability to park because i guess i was very confused because a new piece is going up right at this very moment!
There were several guys finishing individual pieces at standing level and they told me to come back today (Sunday) because i’ll be able to get better pictures and it’s going to be the bigger of the 2 day makeover.
Let’s hope it’s as hot as the last one! who wants to tailgate this thing with me?
