They were told a door had been pried open overnight and the robber/robbers made off with laptops and desktop computers totaling around $20k. Luckily, all of the technology was protected by “heavy-duty tech security” so no new music will be leaking anytime soon, and all of the technology has been replaced already. Sources have also said that the robbery was more than likely an inside job,…

It doesn’t seem that long ago when Jazze Pha and Lil Jon were ruling the crunk era of Hip-Hop music and turning dance floors into bow throwing calisthenics classes. Although those days are long gone, it appears that Jazze Pha continued to live as if he were still one of the top producers in the game, and is now filing for bankruptcy as a result. We probably should’ve seen this coming as early as 2011, but now reportedly the man who produced hits for the likes of Lil Wayne, Ciara, and Usher finds himself $625k in debt to creditors at a time when he claims to have only grossed $65,000…

NASA’s African American Mathematicians
The story of the space race has been told from a million angles. But there’s one perspective that our pop culture has long overlooked: the voices of African American women who worked at NASA as mathematicians. In her upcoming book Hidden Figures, author Margot Lee Shetterly describes the lives of women like Katherine Coleman Goble Johnson who played significant roles in Americans getting into orbit and then to the moon. They worked as NASA’s first computers, crunching numbers long before the invention of the hardware we call computers today.
