CAN'T-MISS VIDEO: The Decline: The Geography of a Recession

According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are nearly 31 million people currently unemployed -- that's including those involuntarily working parttime and those who want a job, but have given up on trying to find one. In the face of the worst economic upheaval since the Great Depression, millions of Americans are hurting. "The Decline: The Geography of a Recession," as created by labor writer LaToya Egwuekwe, serves as a vivid representation of just how much. Watch the deteriorating transformation of the U.S. economy from January 2007 -- approximately one year before the start of the recession -- to the most recent unemployment data available today.

Hope Through Hip Hop: Mazzi & Sneakas Are Most Hated

As you know if you've read this oft-tweeted article, emcee AWKWORD, though proudly Jewish, is not your typical Zionist and certainly not an imperialist. Yet, for his project World View -- designed to educate and empower our youth and demonstrate the progressive power of hip hop through international musical collaboration -- AWKWORD was hard-pressed to find Arab or Muslim artists willing to contribute, let alone touch on the topic of religion or Israel/Palestine.

However, two artists in addition to AWKWORD stand above the ignorance: Arab rapper Mazzi (S.O.U.L. Purpose) and Jewish rapper Sneakas. Together, they are Most Hated. Below, we have posted some of their videos. SHOW YOUR SUPPORT!

(Coming Soon: AWKWORD x Kosha Dillz x Sneakas x Mazzi = "The Rhythm of Life")
