Music Thread #1 for 8/17/09: The Runthrough

Some are concerned over 50 Cent coming to chill at a South Jamaica, Queens big park party.

This is just horrible to read about.

Sam Ferguson, a writer for New York based urban publication Don Diva Magazine, was gunned down on the Florida Turnpike on Friday, August 14. After being shot multiple times and crashing into the concrete divider, Ferguson was pronounced dead on the scene.

A native of Miami, Ferguson was brought onto the Don Diva team only a few months ago to increase the magazines presence in South Florida. Ferguson was also named the president of Don Diva South.

“He was involved in all aspects of our operation,” Tiffany Chiles, Editor-in-chief of Don Diva Magazine told the Miami Herald. “He was helping us gather relevant stories. He was doing interviews, distribution -- he was really trying to market our magazine in Southern and Central Florida.”

Oh my, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift may have it out!!!!!
