“Real journalism is publishing something someone else does not want  published – the rest is just public relations.” George Orwell

With so much drama in the world today in our communities on both macro and micro levels, it’s always strange to see the news or people that claim to be journalists talking about all kinds of silly things and never what’s going on. The Firing Squad is here to take aim at all that is wrong with the world, starting with our own communities. Three men of color with no censor and no objectives but truth, justice and common sense. Each episode will deal with hot-button issues with honesty, straight talk, and humor whenever possible . No personality is untoucnohable, and no one is spared the venom, or the praise whenever fit.In this episode, we say a fond farewell to Whitney Houston and talk about all facets of her life. We talk the highs and the lows and we ponder a few questions about her death, and what her loss means to the world of music and history.

We also look at the MTV Hottest rapper list and the rationale behind it. What if any cultural significance does the list possess? Is Sway Calloway’s cultural reelevance to Hip-Hop eroding with the lenght of his MTV association?

We tackle all this and more on this edition of the firing squad. Nobody move, nobody gets hurt
