Grammy Nominated Producer Kashif Sponsors Music Camp for Foster Kids

Grammy Nominated Producer Kashif experienced living in eight different foster homes before turning 15 years old. Due to budget shortfalls, the State of California may have to cut many services that benefit children including those living in foster homes with their guardians.

Kashif University which was founded by the famed music producer, can be best described as a university without walls with a focus on the inner workings of the music industry and is is hosted by the six-time/ Grammy nominated, Multi-Platinum, producer, singer, songwriter and author turned educator.

Kashif University is teaming with the California Department of Children & Family Services to give foster children an opportunity to attend a music recording workshop.

From July 12-23, 2010 they will work together to make a difference in the lives of hundreds of children in foster care through music.

Erykah Badu: From Bag Lady To Video Skank

So the media world is all abuzz about Erykah Badu’s video “Window Seat” in which she walks down a heavily populated Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, the site where late President John F. Kennedy was assassinated and sheds her clothing in full view of the tourist which included children.

She claims she had some concern about the children present but that did not deter her from showing her butt to the world. Some are calling it art, some are calling it a publicity stunt, we call it another example of the corrupting influence of corporate media on society and how people put their selfish needs before others. With that said, the video more than likely will be celebrated and receive all kind of awards from the degenerate corporate media establishment.
