One of the best things about the Trinity International Hip Hop Festival (www.trinityhiphop.org) is the unexpected things that happen when you are there. Here's a list of this year's biggest surprises.

Last week I was lucky enough to attend the A3C Independent Hip Hop Festival (www.a3cfestival.com) in Atlanta, GA. Promotions were large for the three-day festival with a Juice Crew reunion to be held
on Friday night (with Marley Marl, MC Shan, Roxanne Shanté, Biz Markie, Big Daddy Kane and Craig G). But with limited time, I chose to take in the opening night show of Del the Funky Homosapien, Little Brother, Jeru tha Damaja and Wale.

File this under “So you think you have it tough?” I missed this situation in November, and just recently ran across it in an article referencing how the Burmese Junta doesn’t like Buddhist symbols displayed, not even as a tattoo.

The scene went down like this. Burmese (or is it Myanmar?) rapper G-Tone was arrested after he flashed his religiously themes tattoo to the crowd during his performance.

This is Old School G and I’m happy to be working with the Planet Urban crew. Even though I'm living in Atlanta (ATL), I stay plugged in to what is happening internationally in Hip Hop culture.
