Nia Long and her son have been spot­ted vaca­tion­ing in Hawaii, but BOSSIP sources tell us she’s been hav­ing more than just fam­ily fun.

Nia Long and her 9-year-old son Mas­sai were pho­tographed arriv­ing in Hon­olulu, Hawaii on Tues­day, but our sources tell us she was actu­ally in Maui Mon­day night enjoy­ing a lit­tle one on one time with none other than… Eddie Murphy!

Accord­ing to our source in Maui:

Eddie Mur­phy has been stay­ing at the Four Sea­sons in Maui with his entire family…and Nia Long. And he and Nia left din­ner at Spago Mon­day night…together….alone.

Our source said Eddie dined at Spago Mon­day night with a large party, but he and Nia left the table before the oth­ers, together and def­i­nitely alone!

Do you think Eddie is chop­ping down Nia or were they just… read­ing scripts???

We’ll have to keep an eye on these two. Just remem­ber We Broke It Here First!

SF8 case is close to Victory!

SF8 case is close to Vic­tory!
Props to Mal­com X Grass­roots Move­ment

On what was sup­posed to be the start of the pre­lim­i­nary hear­ing and California’s con­tin­ued attack on the San Fran­cisco 8 (SF8), the false case of the state pros­e­cu­tion and attor­ney gen­eral Jerry Brown was fur­ther exposed. A week after Her­man Bell was given 5 years pro­ba­tion for vol­un­tary manslaugh­ter, more charges were not only reduced, but ulti­mately dropped against four more of the defen­dants. Ray Boudreaux, Harold Tay­lor, Hank Jones and Richard Brown were offi­cially released from the case fol­low­ing an arrange­ment where Jalil Muntaqim reluc­tantly pleaded no con­test to con­spir­acy to com­mit manslaugh­ter. The sen­tenc­ing times of Her­man Bell and Jalil Muntaqim mir­ror a sim­i­lar embar­rass­ment of the pros­e­cu­tion in the ear­lier dis­missal of charges against Richard O’Neal, who was also wrong­fully charged with con­spir­acy. Charges against Fran­cisco Tor­res remain, show­ing the pros­e­cu­tions ever­last­ing attack on African and Latino com­mu­nity elders.

The case against the SF8 is one of state spon­sored des­per­a­tion and extreme mis-management of Cal­i­for­nia fund­ing. Mil­lions of dol­lars has been spent since Jan­u­ary of 2007 to arrest, extra­dite and cre­ate hun­dreds of thou­sands of pages of evi­dence which have not led to a sin­gle mur­der con­vic­tion amongst the SF8. These recent actions add on to a 37 year legacy of state tor­ture and war against com­mu­nity lead­ers. This case has been built upon a series of human rights vio­la­tions start­ing with the 1973 tor­ture of Rueben Scott, Harold Tay­lor and the late John Bow­man. The unlaw­ful acts of California’s jus­tice sys­tem is respon­si­ble for attempt­ing to deny the SF8 their free­dom The broth­ers of the SF8 are fam­ily men, whose lives have been inter­rupted through this country’s con­tin­u­ing attack against peo­ple who stand for human rights.

All of the eight have been harassed and held as polit­i­cal pris­on­ers dur­ing the case. Her­man Bell and Jalil Muntaqim will return to New York hav­ing been incar­cer­ated con­tin­u­ously for well over 3 decades each. Although they will be leav­ing behind the last 2 and half years of SF County Jail time, they return to New York to face parole boards with felonies due to the neg­li­gence and des­per­a­tion of a defeated Cal­i­for­nia pros­e­cu­tion team. Within 30 days of return to New York, Her­man and Jalil will face parole boards for a poten­tial free­dom that they deserve. Human­ity must rise up and sup­port these broth­ers in their con­tin­ued strug­gle for jus­tice. While prepa­ra­tion for NY parole hear­ings begin, the peo­ple must unite and con­tinue to demand that all charges be dropped against all of the SF8 by sup­port­ing Fran­cisco Tor­res at his August 10th court hear­ing. Charges against Fran­cisco Tor­res must be dropped to com­plete the defeat of California’s attor­ney gen­eral and all other local, state and national forces that abuse their power.

Tonight at S.O.B.‘s, NYC …JOE BUDDEN BOOK RELEASE PARTY

Joe Bud­den Book Release Party
Open­ing band: The Dop­pel­gangaz
Q&A mod­er­ated by Mecca from the Source.
ENTER THE MIND OF JOE BUDDEN, BOOK RELEASE PARTY AT SOBs, AUGUST 10TH

After sell­ing out a SOBs show in record time last Decem­ber, Joe Bud­den returns for an up close and per­sonal per­for­mance in cel­e­bra­tion of his first book, on Tues­day August 10th. Three hun­dred lim­ited edi­tion copies of Enter the Mind of Joe Bud­den, signed by the rap­per, will con­tain his lyrics and delve into their inti­mate meanings.

The Jer­sey City rap­per is no new­comer to the lime­light. He has worked with such cel­e­brated musi­cal tal­ent as hip-hop com­rade Busta Rhymes, Kelly Row­land, Ne-yo and Gnarls Barkley. Most recently he has col­lab­o­rated with Crooked I, Joell Ortiz and Royce da 5’9″ as apart of the group Slaugh­ter­house. Be there when the emcee per­son­ally gives fans a deeper look into his song writ­ing process.

True fans of Joe Bud­den will not miss out on this rare oppor­tu­nity to lis­ten and under­stand the artist who pro­claims: “music is what feel­ings sound like.” SOBs doors will open at 8pm, spe­cial guests, The Dop­pel­gangz, will open at 9pm with Joe Bud­den on stage soon thereafter.
