Known for making political statements in his music
Asics Men's Gel Nimbus 14 Black Dim Gray Green Yel on occasion, has released a video for ‘God Bless Amerika’ off his ‘I Am Not A Human

The video begins with Wayne standing in front of the American flag. The flag drops to reveal a massive gathering of people standing behind him. The video was a homecoming of sorts, shot entirely in the Hollygrove neighborhood of New Orleans. Scenes of abandoned and rundown housing and graffitied corner stores show that despite how far Wayne has come as an artist, though very little has changed in his own hometown, which was decimated by Hurricane Katrina years ago.
The video initially caused controversy because a behind-the-scenes footage surfaced, showing Wayne stomping on the American flag once it is lowered to the ground. The actual video does not show Wayne’s feet once the flag is lowered, and so had one never seen the behind-the-scenes footage, it would be impossible to know. This was what Wayne tried to ; however, that does not change the fact that he did in fact stomp all over the flag with little regard.
Ultimately, in the wake of the George ZImmerman
mistressxenobia verdict, is this the type of political statement that people can rally behind? There is certainly sustained commentary at times, the hook being the song’s most powerful moment. “God bless Amerika,” Wayne says, “This ole’ Godless Amerika, I heard tomorrow ain’t promised today. The end of time is like an hour away.” However, there are also some suspect lines within the song, such as “Been eating my girl and she’s so sweet, cavities.” This is certainly not but I suppose this

Bobby Rogers, a founding member of Motown group The Miracles and a songwriting collaborator with Smokey Robinson, died Sunday at his suburban Detroit home. He was 73.
Motown Museum board member Allen Rawls said Rogers died about 6 a.m. in Southfield. Rogers had been ill for several years.
Rogers formed the group in 1956 with cousin Claudette Rogers, Pete Moore, Ronnie White and Robinson. Their hits included “Shop Around,” ”You’ve Really Got a Hold on Me,” ”The Tracks of My Tears,” ”Going to a Go-Go,” ”I Second That Emotion” and “The Tears of a Clown.”
“Another soldier in my life has fallen. Bobby Rogers

Roger’s cousin Claudette told the Detroit Free Press that everyone was drawn to his personality.
“People always commented on the tall one with the glasses,” she said. “He was personable, approachable and he loved talking to the women, loved talking to the guys, loved to dance, loved to sing, loved to perform. That was the joy of his life.”
His voice can be heard on Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On,” with Rogers saying, “It’s just a groovy party, man, I can dig it.”
Mary Wilson of the Supremes said that captured his essence.
“If people want to remember him, they should put that record on and listen to Bobby,” Wilson told the newspaper. “That’s who he was.”
Rogers and The Miracles were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012. He was too ill to attend the ceremony.
He shared songwriting credits with Robinson on The Temptations’ “The Way You Do the Things You Do,” The Contours’ “First I Look at the Purse” and The Miracles’ “Going to a Go-Go.”
Funeral arrangements through James H. Cole Home for Funerals in Detroit were incomplete Sunday afternoon.
