​
Okay, okay. Enough about Kanye West's apparently cognac-fueled award show outbursts. While Ye's ill-considered rebuke of Taylor Swift at the VMAs has garnered plenty of media attention and controversy, there are some rappers who actually have something worthwhile to say, such as dead prez' M-1, who arrives in the Bay Area this week for a speaking engagement on his recent trip to the Gaza strip. Sponsored by Hip-Hop Congress, Blockreportradio.com and SF Bayview, the tour has M-1 at Wose Community Center in East Oakland on Thursday, at the POOR Magazine office in San Francisco on Friday, and at the Black Dot Café in West Oakland on Saturday. M-1 will be interviewed about his experiences by journalists JR Valrey, Nadra Foster, and Richard Brown. Want more info? email here or click here.
