A. Dub and OuttaBoundz "chop it up" about the elimination of Black Press/Media from the Michael Jackson Memorial Service this past week. We now find that AEG has privatized the Memorial Service, and only allowed Getty Images [one of their subsidaries] in the Staples Center to take pictures. The pictures captured by Getty Images will then be sold to other media outlets. The Black Press, should they want these images, will have to get in line and pay. For more detailed report, please see read The Los Angeles Sentinel's article.
Let's check in wit' the fellaz....

I feel that the black media should have been allowed access to take pictures because everyone was effected by Michael Jackson's death and not just on particular group. I am not sure why the staples center would make such a decision as that but I am sure that if the black media would have been allowed access then we would have received more footage of what went on at the ceremony and received another perspective of stories on how they viewed and felt about it. Michael is considered the king of pop and descriminating within the media was not necessary at a time such as that one.

It does not make any sense to me why the staples center would not allow the black media inside Michael Jackson's funeral. They want to mirage it to a private affair, which can't happen Michael Jackson was cherished on a personal level to the world. Then they wanted to turn around and mirage it as a public affair to recover mass profit. Just when it seems there selfishness can't get any worse, you here they're trying to flip the bill on the Jacksons... thats awful! Sadly it is not suprising wants you have a person that holds such an unmatched magnitude as Michael Jackson, there will be selfish minds behind the scenes that will view MJ as a mere profit gain.
Rest In Peace Michael Jackson, MJ said he understood that he was a mortal human being, but wanted his soul to become immortal through his music. That he did, That he did.

I can sum up the issue about why the black press was not allowed to take part in the Michael Jackson memorial, "Money". M.J. is the black the modern African-American J.D. Rockefeller in the music industry. Michael has set the bar in album sells that no one will be able to come close to esspecially with current technology. This injustice, of not letting the media whose main audience black community, is the "man's" last attempt to cash-in on their most lucrative chattle.
