Just my take on California's Prop 8

I know that I usually blog about the red carpet but I thought I would just sound off on California's Prop 8

It will be a sad day for California if Prop 8 passes. As many people believe that marriage is between a man and woman. From India to royalty of the past, marriage was used as a political and monetary form to ensure the livelihood of a family. Strategic marriages between two royal family enhanced their strength in control of a kingdom or a country. For fixed marriages, it was about what one male can give to the family of another, women were treated as chattel and property. So to all who says marriage is a tradition of man and woman on the basis of love in god's eyes, don't be fooled by the religious rhetoric. How do we know that the bible wasn't edited and is from a point of view of a man who believed that God spoke to him? What if that person was mentally ill himself?

Also, California is moving backward by voting yes on Proposition 8. Since the late 1800's to the 1940's, California made it illegal for blacks, asians, malay to marry whites. Who knows, maybe in the future, bigotry and hatred may rear its head and try to bring back discrimination through marriage. Oh wait that's going to happen now if Prop 8 passes.

CO-HEADLINERS BABY BASH and PITBULL HEAD OUT ON
SPRING TOUR

(New York, New York) Rap superstars, TVT Records' Pitbull and Arista
Records' Baby Bash, come together to co-headline a Spring tour. The
cross-country tour kicks off in Orlando on Saturday, March 15 in support of
their new albums - The Boatlift and Cyclone, respectively. Pitbull and Baby
Bash have massive internet followings, are two of the most searched for
Latin artists on Myspace, and both have been the #1 Latin artist on the
site.

"It's been long over due for me and Pit to hit the road together; finally
our fans can see us both together for one ticket. You can't beat that with a
whoopin' stick," says Baby Bash about the upcoming tour.

Baby Bash's first smash single from the new album, "Cyclone," (featuring
T-Pain) has already sold more than 1.5 million digital singles, surpassed
the 1 million mark in ringtones, and hit Top 10 on the rap and mainstream
radio charts, making him one of the hottest stars in the country. The
second single, "What Is It" (featuring Sean Kingston) is currently Top 10 on
the rap chart and is heating up at mainstream radio.

This is the first national tour for Pitbull since joining Lil Jon on the
Anger Management Tour in 2005. "I can't wait to get out on the road with
Baby Bash. I want to use this opportunity to connect with my all my fans and
million plus Myspace friends," says Pitbull.

The Boatlift showcases Pitbull's lyrical prowess as he crusades through 18
tracks penning clever and captivating rhymes on each song. Pitbull has
created an incredibly diverse album ranging from R and B-influenced sounds like
first single "Secret Admirer" feat Lloyd, to hypnotic club banger "Go Girl"
teaming with Trina and Young Boss, and current Afro-Cuban melodic single
"The Anthem" with a bombastic chant by Lil Jon. " The Anthem" is number 17
on the Top 40 Rhythm chart and breaking big on Mainstream Top 40 (Pop)
radio.



Baby Bash originally from Vallejo, CA now based in Houston, TX, has garnered
a loyal following as a rapper-singer mixing hip-hop and R and B with his Latin
roots. Bash's major label debut album, The Smokin' Nephew (certified gold),
and the follow up Super Saucy, featured the #1 hit singles, "Suga Suga"
(featuring Frankie J) and "Baby I'm Back" (featuring Akon). Bash also
penned and performed on the smash records with Frankie J, "Obsession" and
Paula Deanda, "Doing Too Much." Most recently Bash was featured with
Jennifer Lopez on "This Boy's On Fire" from Santana¹s Ultimate Santana.

Cuban-American MC Pitbull surpassed gold status for more than 500,000 copies
sold of his debut album M.I.A.M.I.: Money Is A Major Issue in the United
States. The feat gave Pitbull the biggest-selling bilingual hip-hop debut
since Cypress Hill's 1991 self-titled debut, and put him in the rare
category of Latino rappers who have achieved major success in
English-language radio. In addition to being the #1 Latin artist on
Myspace, Pitbull unleashed his sophomore album El Mariel in late 2006
spawning the #1 Latin Rap hit, "Dime".
