Appeals court sets hearing for Joe Jackson's Appeal
Involving Michael's Estate

LOS ANGELES

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — An appeals court has scheduled a hearing for lawyers for the father of Michael Jackson to argue that he deserves a role in decisions involving his son's multimillion dollar estate.
The Second District Court of Appeal said Thursday the appeal by Joe Jackson would be heard on Oct. 6.

In November, the elder Jackson challenged a ruling by a state judge that the estate would be run by attorney John Branca and music executive and family friend John McClain. The men had been designated in the singer's 2002 will to administer his estate.

The will omitted Joe Jackson — in effect denying him any stipend or decision-making authority.
"I think it's an important issue for all fathers around the country and around the world that when their child dies they should have a say-so in their child's estate," said attorney Brian Oxman, who represents Joe Jackson.

Attorney Howard Weitzman, who represents the estate, said the administrators were meeting all obligations to the beneficiaries named in the will. "As I've said before, Mr. Jackson's appeal is not well taken," Weitzman said.

The singer's estate has earned tens of millions of dollars since the singer's death at age 50 in June 2009.

Joe Jackson is also pursuing a federal wrongful death lawsuit against Dr. Conrad Murray, who has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the singer's death. Authorities contend Murray, a cardiologist, gave the singer a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol.The costs of the wrongful death lawsuit should be paid by Michael Jackson's estate, Oxman said.
The estate is not a party to the lawsuit.

I don't expect people outside of the UK to know him. I don't expect anyone outside of the UK Hip Hop scene to know him too. But...

Akala is a UK rapper. A rapper that believes what the mainstream industry supports is wrong for the listeners of all ages and generally doesnt think its acceptable to have children these days grow up around this sort of stuff. His lyrics will touch on the government, racism, prejudices, society, wars/civil wars.

He really is intelligent, hes a big fan of poetry, he has the nickname "Black Shakespeare". For me he has produced the album of the year so far in 2010. He has his stance of being himself for the people and isnt willing to follow a crowd to hit that BIG paycheck.

I really hope people, can give this a listen to, even if your not a fan of hip hop, just listen to the lyrics. I think it would be cool to use a live version of this song...
