22-Yr Old Confesses To Easter Crash That Killed 5

this story especially touches everyone I know with children. Sad situation for Ms. Michael as well.
After anonymous tips led police to her residence, Aimee Michael, 22, was charged with five counts of homicide by vehicle, one count of failure to maintain lane and one count of serious injury by vehicle, hit and run, according to Fulton police detective Melissa Parker. A bond hearing will be held by Friday.
On Easter Sunday, Robert and Delisia Carter, as well as the couple’s newborn son, Ethan Blake, and Delisia Carter’s 9-year-old daughter, Kayla, died in the chain-reaction crash near Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Police said 43-year-old Tracy Johnson of Atlanta survived the accident in another vehicle, but the impact killed her 6-year-old daughter, Morgan. Tracy Johnson is now listed in satisfactory condition at Grady Hospital.
The Carters’ Mercedes and the BMW are believed to have collided on Camp Creek Parkway between Butner Road and Old Fairburn Road at about 1:45 p.m. Both vehicles crossed the median, and the BMW left the scene.
The Mercedes, however, slammed head-on into a Volkswagen driven by Johnson.

ATL Rap & Bass compilation from '85-'92
Peace to the Homies for keeping the History alive. I went ahead and edited that pussy ass wikipedia link, by the way. Hopefully those idiots don't take what I added down since I didn't touch any of the original bullsh*t they wrote.
A-Town Rap & Bass Compilation 1985 - 1992 (Disc 1 - Rap Side)
A-Town Rap & Bass Compilation 1985 - 1992 (Disc 1 - Bass/Club Side)Straight up, Atlanta is the most important hip hop city of at least the past decade but little to no national attention is given to the first wave of emcees the city was producing in the late 80s/early 90s. (Look at this dismal wiki.) So here goes.
This is not a random rap compilation. There are a couple lesser known tracks on here, mostly fillers, but the vast majority of these tracks are certified classics from local legends. I’m on the outside looking in here, basing most of my knowledge on dollar bin records and such but hopefully my A-Town heads should be able to confirm this. Kilo/Raheem/Sammy Sam/Shy-D were more or less the Jeezy/TI/Gucci/Shawty Los of their era. (Tell me that Kilo’s “The Piz“* was not an influence on his Bowen Homes brethren Shawty Lo.) In fact many of these records could provide a historical perspective on why certain critically maligned A-Town rappers - Fabo**, Gucci - rap the way they do. Flow wasn’t all the current generation inherited - they also picked up on some old school producers (Toomp) and a penchant forbickering. Roughly one in four tracks on here is a diss to another artist on the tape. But then again what would a local rap scene be without such beef?
It would be nice if someone sat down and wrote a thorough history of all this. Until then it’s just bits and pieces. And, now, this tape. Tracklisting under the hop.

9. Tony MF Rock - “She Put Me In A Trance’” from Let Me Take You… (Effect, 1989)
10. Raheem The Dream - “Work That Body” from Grand Theft LP (Arvis 1990)
11. Kilo - “My Ding A LIng” from A-Town Rush (Wrap, 1992)
12. Success N Effect - “Roll It Up” from In Tha Hood LP (On Top, 1989)

14. MC Shy-D - “Shy-D Is Back” from Shy-D Is Back 12″ (4-Sight, 1986)
15. Kilo - “Cocaine” from America Has A Problem LP (Arvis, 1991)The compilation is loosely split into two discs - one of more straightforward New York style hip hop and a second of Miami informed bass and club tracks. Admittedly, this is a somewhat dubious distinction - most of these artists walked the line between the two styles and that’s part of what makes them so unique. Basically if a track rocks a Kraftwerk loop or a TV show theme song it ended up on disc 2, if it has knock off LL Cool J style punchlines it’s on the first. The sound quality is all over the place. A couple of these joints are tape only and most of them were poorly mixed to begin with. The first Raheem LP sounds like it was recorded inside a beehive. I cut it off at the year I did because it seemed like the resources and major labels really started to come into Atlanta hard around ‘92-’93, probably thanks in part to the success of Tag Team, So So Def and LaFace. That old Motown Of The South talk left a Gordy style sheen on the streets. Once the money came in records got more polished and R&B influenced. Not to take anything away from those later classics, but it seems like some of the charm was lost in the process.
Shouts to Def Momentum, Bust The Facts, Terry Clubbup, Twankle & Glisten and Rapidshare for filling in some blanks.

The GOP Tea Party!!!
Glen Beck is ridiculous! Everything this man says in this interview is a flat out lie!!!!! Some networks im assuming could care-less about what they put on the air. The tax laws that have been enforced only effect 10% of Americans.... and they are the top 10%. These people who are out here protesting that make an income less than $200,000 are lunatics!!!!!! Most working Americans as of late have seen an increase in their net earnings. So the people who are organizing these events are clearly members of the GOP/racists/millionaires/conservative kool-aid drinkers..... Meaning these people are still bitter about the election and this is yet another way for them to create attention for The GOP...soooo NEXT!!!!

Jamie Foxx Radio Show :: WHY FLO RIDA FLOPPED
How the fuck did any of ya'll believe in Flo Rida from the beginning? Get the fuck outta here. I never believed the hype, sorry. He needs more people. Thanks to Fox for speaking his mind, we definitely need to work harder out here to break artists successfully. Ya'll trying to microwave this sh*t when you need to be baking it.

"Caddys" Video Premier - Grip, Trimm & A.Leon
You might recognize A. Leon craft from the Backwoodz. He told me they have new stuff on deck. That man's been working HARD. The Labratz record was out last year and he's been doing his solo thing in the underground here in ATL as well. As segmented as ATL's hip hop scene is, he's one of like 4 people I can think of that is comfortable in ALL the scenes.
While I'm here, check out Young Trimm's new album...

J Money & Yung L.A. Squash Beef in Columbus, GA
Shouts out to Dj Kutt Throat, who makes a quik appearance. I personally think that hip hop is being over-exposed, but I definitely want to keep focusing on the positive at this point. The two individuals at the head of the Futurisitic movement (if that is the official name of the movement) have called it quits on their beef and will be doing music together in the near future. All this decided on the day MLK's assassination. Good job fellas. Shouts out to Supa and ABG.

Colin Munroe ft Blaqstar "As much as you"
Live, in studio. Phenomenal. Posted this on my tumblr a few weeks ago, it seems. Might have been earlier this week. My days bleed into one another now-a-days. I can't keep track. Figured I should share this here. Fantastic song. Blaqstar is a talented DJ in the B-more club scene that can sing his butt off. If you haven't picked up Colin's Unsung Hero mixtape for free over on ONSMASH...what are you waiting for? If you haven't seen him live in Atlanta, you'll slap yourself in 20 years when pundits talk about classic albums, artists and periods. The kid is that good. If you're into music that moves people, thank God every day that you live in Atlanta. There are acts here that will be remembered for decades-- not necessarily for album sales or accolades, but they'll be the people referenced in magazines has artists that pushed music FORWARD. I can't stress that enough. We're spoiled, but realize what's going on in this city.

Westside stand up! Pill.
Word is the homie Pill just got Best Mixtape of the year from Ozone for his project "The prescription 4180" that he did with Dj Burnone. If you haven't heard this Mixtape, I don't know what you're waiting for. I interviewed Pill on Analogue Atlanta, btw. We talked about authentic ATL culture with the "Neighborhood Days", MCing, Battling and how he plans on bringing reality back to Atlanta's music scene. I also talk with Atlanta Photographer and SWATs representative Shannon McCollum about the early days with Outkast, Rico Wade & Lil Jon in this episode. For my music lovers, ATL quartet Mr. Lucky is interviewed as well...

Wayne Takes It to Another Level :: Sues Dj Drama and other djs
Wow, on one hand you're thinking Wayne is a complete asshole as he sues Dj's for mixtapes they released, supposedly without his consent. On the other hand, one starts to contemplate whether all is as it seems and it makes sense that Wayne should receive royalties from his work. Is he suing the right parties though?
Can You Wait For Anything? :: X-Men Origins Leaked
"X-Men Origins: Wolverine" isn't due in theaters until next month, but the prequel has already hacked its way online.
A high-quality, full-length work print of the 20th Century Fox film appeared online Tuesday evening. The studio said it had the file removed, but copies quickly propagated and continue to appear on several file-sharing Web sites.
The movie focuses on the beginnings of Hugh Jackman's clawed Marvel superhero Wolverine and is set for a May 1 release.
Fox vowed in a statement Wednesday that the source of the "stolen, incomplete and early version" of the movie would be prosecuted and said the FBI and MPAA are investigating. The studio also insisted that the version of the film posted online was "was without many effects, had missing and unedited scenes and temporary sound and music."
