-"Games People Play" Sweet G (1982)
Over the last couple of weeks the media have been buzzin' about the protests taking place in London over the death of Mark Duggan, a black man, gunned down by the police. Apparently, the rebellions were organized mostly by activists via social media networks. In contrast, the main Hip Hop story happening in the US over the weekend was Hip Hop artist, the Game, being accused of playing a game of "You Got Punked" with the Compton Sheriff Department via his Twitter account.
The "what" is clear.
News sources report that , last Friday, somebody using @thegame posted a request to over 500,000 Twitter followers to call the Compton Sheriff's department for a Hip Hop internship which resulted in the hot lines being jammed for hours.
The "why" is debatable.
