___________________________________________________________________________________
How did you get involved in making videos?
I started making music videos back in 1998 when I was going to college at ECSU (Eastern Connecticut State University); I did it just as something to do. I would take my Basketball highlights and add music to them. That’s how I basically began my craft. Then I started taping local parties and editing those as well. I started working at ESPN, Channel 30 and did some editing camera op stuff. And it carried over to music videos.


What made you decide to make it a business of your own?
While working at ESPN I realized that I was very talented at editing, it was easy for me. While I was doing it at ESPN they were getting tons of money off of the work I was doing and other people were getting my credit. I actually began my business while working at ESPN. I got a few wedding jobs and I was off and running.

How did you come up with the name NE Video?
The name NE Video Entertainment is the abbreviation for, New England Videography. Do to people not being able to pronounce Videography; I shorted it to NE Video... (Like KFC etc). We made up this slogan to go with the name. “If it’s not "NE" Video its just "ANY" Video"; Smooth from Real Ent. former host of the HBV (Holla Back Video Awards) helped come up with that…shouts out to him.

You have become the go to guy for all Hartford artists looking for video work, who are some of the artists you’ve worked with?
The question is who haven't we worked with? Just to name a few people you may have heard of: Paper Boyz, Oscar Black, Opium Black, Mook N Fair, Northern League, Phar City, Ru Williams, MUD, Notey Xtra, Blink Money, MIlo Sheff and tons other up and coming CT artist. Now we do some Visual Media Management so look out for one of our artist Gwap$.

What are some of the other types of video work do you specialize in?
I am actually an editor by trade, so I’m into a lot of other aspects of video. We do an array of services, Commercials, Documentaries ,Viral Videos, Web Mgmt., you shoot we edit service, sports highlights, Weddings…hence "NE' video. We are currently filming for Central Connecticut State's soccer team. We also do a lot of work with www.soccercoachtv.com and www.ShockSock.com as well as we are involved with Universal Records out of Atlanta and DJ Farenheit (Jeezy's DJ).

What is your ideal client to work with?
Our ideal client would be someone who is self motivated and has a positive energy about themselves in general. Most importantly a budget! Most artists don’t understand that portion of the business. So they get the cheapest or free videos and press kits; which make them seem and look unprofessional. So NE Video is here to change that, with a professional shooting and editing of their projects.

Tell us about your DVD that will premiere at the Showcase Cinema.
A DVD that my company directed and edited (17 of the 28 videos, as well as put together) called, Coke Wave (Independence Day) DVD, linked up with Hollywood Fergie and Sal Pachino to select artist to put together a DVD for French Montana. The DVD aired at The Box Ties theatre in Hartford, the show was packed and we got a great response from the artist and people who attended.

What is your overall goal for the company? Where do you see NE Video in 5 years?
The overall goal of NE Video is to provide lasting memories for the consumer, whether it is in sports, music, fashion, etc... Video is the wave of the future it is available in so many facets.

Jimmy Henchmen Plans $120 Million Lawsuit Againt NY Daily News, Journalist Chuck Phillips

Saturday, October 16, 2010
(AllHipHop News) Hip-Hop executive James Rosemond is going on the offensive with a plan to file a $120 million dollar lawsuit against The New York Daily News and Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Chuck Phillips, over an article published in September in the popular newspaper.

The news article, which was published on the 14th anniversary of the death of Tupac Shakur, accused Rosemond aka "Jimmy Henchmen" of cooperating with the government for years.

Phillips, a former writer for the Los Angeles Times, is a well-respected investigative journalist who has been reporting on the unsolved murders of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. for over a decade.

"It never fails, every year around Tupac's death that Chuck Phillips raises his fabricated mouth against Jimmy Rosemond but we intend to silence his foul mouth with this lawsuit and bury these tampered minutes and paperwork that Chuck Phillip received from jealous and envious inmates, which is the basis of this fairy tale story the Daily News wrote," Rosemond's lawyer David Feinstein snapped.

In an article published by The Los Angeles Times on March 17th, 2008, Phillips claimed that Rosemond set up Tupac Shakur to be beaten, robbed and subsequently shot at the Quad Studios in New York in November of 1994, resulting in tension between rap groups on the East and West Coasts of the United States.

The information was based off of civil court documents filed by an inmate named David Sabatino, who claimed that he worked with Rosemond early in his career promoting rap conventions.

TheSmokingGun.com later revealed that the documents were based on forged by Sabatino, who according to Rosemond's lawyers, has been declared insane by doctors.

The Los Angeles Times
was forced to retract the story, in addition to offering an apology to Rosemond and Combs.

Additionally, the Los Angeles Times settled a lawsuit initiated by Rosemond over the story.

Recently, a letter Chuck Phillips allegedly sent to an inmate attempting to get him to reveal information on Rosemond, while making disparaging comments about the executive, was circulated on the Internet.

"On more than one occasion both Daily News & Chuck Phillips have contacted the same inmate trying to coerce him into saying Jimmy was an informant," Rosemond's lawyer Feinstein continued. "We have affidavits from inmates to prove the efforts of their coercion and how determined they were in proving their point. Even after the article's release Chuck Phillips continued in his quest to change the mind of individuals who refused to lie against Jimmy Rosemond at grand jury proceedings.

"Jimmy Rosemond has paid his dues to society and since his release from jail, a decade ago, he's been active in his community, working with troubled youths and have worked extensively abroad in Haiti," Feinstein said. "The only thing Jimmy Rosemond is guilty of is being an accomplished manager for singers & rappers and now he's a victim of his own success."

.The Million Man March 15 Years Later
For all its stunning symbolic power, the Million Man March failed to take the next step, which was converting the rally's energy into a viable political and social movement.

First, the day: It was a brilliant autumn morning 15 years ago Oct. 16 when nearly a million black men assembled peacefully and purposefully on the National Mall in Washington D.C., to talk, show our mutual support and urge one another on. An almost cloudless sky, I remember, was bluer than reality; the air was crisp and cool and crackling with energy; and the mood was joyous, almost triumphant, as though we were gathered in a huge, roofless church. Even now, the Million Man March remains as magically perfect as any single event I've ever witnessed.

But then there is this: The 5,475 days that have followed the Million Man March have been as dark and bleak for African-American men and their families as any in my lifetime. As we were gathering in D.C., powerful, reactionary political forces in our nation were coalescing to send more of us to prison, cut our jobs and wages, swindle us out of our homes and health care, and deepen the misery in our communities. And so, for me, any celebration of that wondrous October day is tinged with more than a little sorrow that we squandered our best opportunity to arrest black America's inexorable slog to Gomorrah.

The reality is that since 1965 -- when I was born -- black America has never had so many of our own in jail (in terms of absolute numbers or as a percentage of our overall population); seen more "good" jobs disappear; been sicker; experienced a wider income gap within our community; and, most important, seen more of our material gains reversed than we have over the last 15 years. This is true in almost all areas, including housing, educational outcomes, widening of the income gap and representation in trade unions.

Yes, in the aftermath, we elected our first black president, which many see as a major step forward for African Americans. And in some ways, that is true. But I would argue that using the election of Barack Obama as proof of black progress is central to the problem. His presidency has not stalled the downward spiral of so many African Americans. You would be hard pressed to identify a period over the last 45 years when black politicians have been less responsive to the black polity. In other words, while Marion Barry and Coleman Young and Harold Washington might have been flawed, they were ours.

No one would say the same of the Adrian Fentys, Cory Bookers and Harold Ford Jrs. of the world. We're living in different times, times that we could not have foreseen 15 years ago as we gathered on the Mall.

"The powerful visual image that the march projected of a million black men gathered in solidarity was unlike anything we had ever seen in this country before," says Nellie Bailey, an African-American woman and executive director of the Harlem Tenants' Council, which advocates for affordable housing in New York City. "And even as a feminist, I didn't object so much to the exclusion of women. After a 400-year campaign to emasculate black men, the assertion of black manhood and of a responsibility to community and family was very important."

But what disappoints Bailey is the fragmented response that the march offered to growing systemic problems. "When we organize people, it has to be around something more than this idea of individual faith and personal responsibility," she says. "The march should have capitalized on all this energy by providing people with concrete ideas for how to go home and build the institutions and infrastructure that we need to make real demands of our government."

By the time of the march, Congress had already passed the North American Free Trade Agreement, which opened the floodgates for employers to ship good-paying manufacturing jobs overseas, and the Clinton administration's omnibus crime bill, which eliminated inmate educational programs and accelerated the growth in the nation's prison population. Both actions had a greater impact on black men than on any other demographic group.

An $85 million dollar 2005 lawsuit involving former Philadelphia radio jock and Fabolous is slated to head to court in New York this week. In 2004, Lisa "Golden Girl" Natson was allegedly assaulted by Fabolous' bodyguard, after Power 99FM's annual Powerhouse concert. The incident started when Golden Girl and a friend was on Fabolous' tour bus chatting with Fabolous. When she "asked for a ride to the top of the ramp," the rap star's bodyguard became irritated and refused her request. When she threatened to stop playing the rapper's hit single "Breathe" on the radio, the bodyguard picked her up off her feet and allegedly slammed her to the ground. According to TheMusic.Fm, a trial is scheduled to start this week in regards to the lawsuit. Fabolous denied the charges in a previous interview. “I never touched or did anything to Golden Girl, therefore, I am not involved and do not have anything further to say or do with that incident,” Fabolous told AllHipHop.com. In addition to working for Power 99FM, Golden Girl published a book titled Sex and Celebrities: The Truth, The Whole Truth, The Naked Truth, where she described a sexual encounter with Lil Kim


Rapper Petey Pablo surrendered to federal authorities yesterday (October 13th), for bringing a gun into the Raleigh-Durham International Airport on September 11th, 2010. The rapper was busted by airport security, when they found a stolen 9mm handgun and ammunition, inside his carry-on luggage. According TMZ.com, Petey Pablo will have to go back to court in November to face charges of possession of a firearm by a felon, possession of a stolen firearm and attempting to take a gun onto an airplane. In the meantime, Petey Pablo, born Moses Barrett III, must report a U.S. probation officer. If he travels, he must submit a complete itinerary of all of his plans one month before his trip. Additionally, the rapper must submit to drug testing and refrain from excessive alcohol use. Representatives for Petey Pablo claimed that he stashed the gun in his bag to hide it from a distraught friend, who may have used the weapon. The rapper allegedly forgot the gun was in the bag, when he attempted to board a plane for Los Angeles on 9-11, to attend the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles.
