How Michael Jackson Saved Sesame Street
Follow @yasboogie
For all of the musical parodies that Sesame Street produced, very few of them resembled the original song enough to warrant legal action.
In the early 1980s, the Children’s Television Workshop (CTW) was sued for $5.5 million by the Northern Songs, owners of the Beatles catalogue, who said the song “Letter B”, performed by the Sesame Street Beetles, had the unfortunate distinction of being too similar to the original “Let It Be.”

Lee "Scratch" Perry | Reggae's Mad Scientist
Follow @yasboogie
Lee "Scratch" Perry is the psychedelic godfather of reggae, the mad scientist of dub and the producer of Super Ape and Bob Marley's early hits to the Clash's "Complete Control." His music and antics are the stuff of legend, and in the new documentary The Upsetter, filmmakers Ethan Higbee and Adam Bhala Lough take a never-before-seen look at the artist Rolling Stone calls "Reggae's Mad Scientist" in RS 1108/09, Jul. 8-22, 2010. In addition to interviews with Perry, The Upsetter features extensive archival footage from the musician's own collection.
Bilal x Malcolm X | By Any Means Necessary
Follow @yasboogie
Paying homage to Civil Rights leader Malcolm X's iconic pose where he was looking out from behind a window curtain with a rifle [M1 Carbine] in hand, Bilal redoes it with a soulful twist. Mr. Oliver's weapon of choice is a microphone, however, and he's peering out from behind a heavy red curtain, the kind that you might find on a stage. This imagery and the meaning held therein is quite powerful and just as revolutionary.
This isn't the first time that an artist has recreated Brother Malcolm's militant stance on an album cover. The artwork for Boogie Down Productions' 1988 classic By All Means Necessary shows KRS-One in the same pose holding a semi-automatic.
In an interview with Beats, Boxing and Mayhem Bilal explains, “The concept is getting my art out by any means necessary. Even through all the pitfalls, the dark side of industry and the bullshit you go through.”
Bilal continues, “I’m going to get it out in the manner it should be; not watered down or anything against how I want it. That photo is a reminder of that. It’s uncut, raw music that I’m putting out. And I’m willing to do whatever to get it out.”
