Wednesday, February 18, 2009
CLEVELAND — Cleveland police announced Tuesday that they made the largest drug bust in the city's history and recovered more than 3,000 pounds of marijuana from a tractor-trailer.
Police arrested eight men, two from suburban Cleveland, on suspicion of drug trafficking. The other six are believed to be from a Mexican gang on the West Coast, police Lt. Thomas Stacho said.
That arrest led them to a trailer Sunday in the 19700 block of South Miles Road in Warrensville Heights. It held packages of dry soup and bales of pot with an estimated street value of $3 million.
Besides marijuana, police seized $386,000 in cash, seven firearms and eight vehicles. Police in Highland Heights and Warrensville Heights assisted Cleveland narcotics officers, who worked under a grant through the Domestic Highway Enforcement program.
The bust is the largest in the city's history, said Police Chief Ned McGrath. Along with law enforcement, the city must address the demand for drugs through social service, drug treatment programs and job opportunities for teens, he said.
Hendrix Estate Wins Judgement for $3.2 Million for Trademark Infringement
We all know that there are many people/"companies" in the ent./music business, that just throw logos around on fliers, magazines, & on the Internet with NO legal right. Right? Well, 2one6 is here to enlighten those in an effort to what could happen when you Illegal use a name, & or trademark which can cause some serious legal issues without written consent.
Seattle businessman Craig Dieffenbach and his Electric Hendrix LLC promoted a vodka named "Hendrix Electric" after a legend rock guitarist Jimi Hendrix, which claimed the spirit infringed on the Hendrix trademark. Experience Hendrix, the company that controls the trademark won a judgement of $3.2 million dollars and has ordered Dieffenbach and his companies to stop selling and marketing the vodka or any other products branded with the Hendrix name.
"This judgment recognizes our family's long-standing commitment to preserve the Jimi Hendrix legacy and artistic vision," Jimi's stepsister, Janie Hendrix, said in a written statement.
The Hendrix estate believes that Jimi's name or image should not be used to promote alcohol due to Hendrix's death by a sleeping pill overdose in 1970, at age 27. Experience Hendrix does market a wide variety of Hendrix-themed promotional items.
In late 2005, Dieffenbach began marketing the vodka in purple-tinted bottles with a Jimi Hendrix likeness and signature above the label. The estate sued him in 2007.

T.I.'s Road to Redemption on MTV
Cleveland's Duo :: Kid Cudi & Chip Tha Ripper = The Almighty GloryUs
Let's just say that I believe that, "the tune of new music shall resonate through the nation for many to hear the rebirth within Cleveland (2one6)." For many many years our city, has been musically related to the Bone Thugs & Harmony Era along with the thuggish rap persona rapper style, but No longer are we "that," but we are now in a New Age of musicians that is breeding a new bunch of talented M.C.'s with great music.
Cleveland's own Kid Cudi & Chip Tha Ripper are just to say a few that can be crowned "skilled" as they are looking to release a collaboration album, and form a Cleveland duo The Almighty GloryUs. Sources from Cudi's blog released that after the debut of his album this year on G.O.O.D Music, that his plans are to work with his homie Chip Tha Ripper.
“After the release of my debut album this summer I’ll be doing a collab album with my homeboy Chip Tha Ripper in which we form the duo ‘The Almighty GloryUs,’”Cudi stated. “On my album I’ll include our first single from our album which we haven’t even started, but I’m just excited about the project.”
Cudi has also just rapped up the video for the "original" Day & Night video shoot in Los Angeles, directed by himself in which K. Cudi is also responsible for directing Kanye's "Good Life" video. The Moon Man isn't stopping there, as his plans are starting a label of his own, called Dream On. “I formed my own record label with Plain Pat and Emile Haynie called Dream On which will combine with G.O.O.D. Music as a joint venture.”
With enthused ears and much success from Kid Cudi we here at 2one6 bring you the Pulse to The City!
Album, entitled Man on the Moon: The Guardians, is tentatively scheduled for a summer release this year with features from Chip Tha Ripper, Charles Hamilton, 88-Keys, will.i.am, and Alchemist.

KRS One Speaks upon Government, Barack Obama, & NWO
THINK! "Your mind is a terrible thing to waste," and the information in music has a way to move your mind & the crowd. Master of Ceremony? <--- How many of them are still around? Where's the Positive messages that asks similar questions that Barack Obama asks us in America to CHANGE? Are YOU ready or going to change to HEAR/ADDRESS the TRUTH, or would YOU rather worry about the beef between artists, baby momma drama, or the best rapper alive hoping that "Piranha" bite??
To be crowned a M.C./Master of Ceremony is worth more than being the King, or Best Rapper Alive in American Society that is so DUMBED down and blind to the fact to... THINK! If you start to THINK about both positive and negative messages sent, then maybe you would then understand that YOU CAN HAVE WHATEVER YOU LIKE (T.I. voice)! Control what you Listen to and speak about, because if the words NO, I CAN'T, IT's HARD, etc... will just get you more hard time.
KRS One nevers ceases to amaze me, nor does Ice Cube because they have been speaking upon this Global Scheme of Life, Government Control, & a World Order designed to control the 99% Human Race to live a Simple Life. Is life SO simple or SO hard? Is Barack Obama a Black President or an African American President with a Caucasian Mother?? Ask yourself what is TRUTH, what is FREE, & what is POWER??? My fault your more worried about Michael Phelps hitting a bong. The TRUTH shall set you FREE!

Like many people I am leary of joining all of these new websites. One site I kept hearing about was "Twitter". At first, I was like, "What is a Twitter? Twit what?"
So, I logged in and in two simple steps I became an official "Twit"! By the way, that is not a derogatory term to Twitter subscribers. After you join, you can say whatever you like in under 140 characters. However sometimes real celebrities are on Twitter interacting, in real time! Why? Because Twitter makes it easy to Twit directly from your cell phone!
For music fans, new mixtapes are delivered hot off the press from top notch Djs and music industry executives who Twit.
Just be careful what you say on Twitter or people will not follow you or even block you. And try to not post too many stupid comments because people get bored quickly. Even though Twitter is a fun new world… I have enough to do tryin to make ends meet in this recession as a promoter, marketer, and founder of an urban publication in Cleveland called 2one6.
You can twit what ever you like, or make up what ever you like, because you can. Some people can read between the lines and see your mind is full B.S. or you lie though your twits. What ever you do is your choice I just hope its real and not fake Twitliars (people that twit about all the things that they never do - beware!)
Weeding through Twitter takes me a minute to find interesting conversations, follow people I'm interested in, convo with a few people I know in the city, and ban a few because their messages lack substance!
I have been Twitting for two months now and I've been actually been making a lot of real nice connections, like minded business men/women, following some pretty informative people, and making money from it. Ideas are a driving force in a lazy society. Life is an information highway that must be driven to drive your business, promote your art, create a viral marathon, etc. quicker than the news on channel 8.
We all need to learn now how to communicate faster and with more efficiency in 2009 in order to remain competitive.
Twit and Follow Me! :o) & www.twitter.com/Kandisknight (she helped edit this - thx!)

Written By: 2one6 Magazine
I just got this email from a 32 Management Company managing a artist named CALICO JONEZ. Now I NEVER heard or this cat, not one time! So I'm thinkin is this just "another artist" promoting a record with NO STORY to tell? There is a link to listen to the record, so I click play as I always do and BOOM... I'm like oh ISSSH!!! This record is really catchy!
Next thing you know I'm clicking around on the net to do some research on this new artist Calico Jones, hailing from Memphis, Tennessee has been in XXL SCRATCH MAGAZINE, Production from Marvelous J, has landed singles for Flo-rida, Ludacris, Lil Wayne, Willy Northpole of DTP, and a mixtape by DJ Scream "History In The Making." WOW!!! Now whats more phenomenal to go along with his music is that, Calico is also part of non profit organization called STREETZ ON LOCK, which is dedicated to unity and non gang violence. Which now brings me to writing this blog, from a STORY he told along with statistics.
Barack Obama has given us the word of CHANGE and through his messages we must CHANGE! Unity and non Gang Violence is a change for the youth, in which Calico Jones and his team is definitely utilizing to cross promote messages to help CHANGE the Youth. The Single "Fadeway' feat. Soulja Boy will definitely have the youth singing the "Fadeway," and trust me when I say that Calico Jones with be the "FUTURE FOR CHANGE," within in the years to come! Can we get more artists for Change now???
My opinion is that I really think this is a Smash Record for the Streetz... 4 real!!
Real Catchy Beat, Hook, and Sound! ( 5 STARS - 2one6 Magazine )
