Talib Kweli Joins Occupy Wall Street Protest

Rapper did a cappella performance of unreleased song, ‘Distractions,’ at protest. By Adam Murphy Talib Kweli Photo: MTV News Talib Kweli lent his leadership and lyricism to the Occupy Wall Street protesters Thursday night in New York’s Zuccotti Park. Nearly three weeks into their occupation, the movement has gained strength in numbers. Kweli is no stranger to taking up social and political causes, but these protests have a firm grasp on his attention. “There’s no other place in New York City to be,” Kweli said. “People are taking their destiny in their own hands. This is one of the most American, if not the most American, things that I’ve ever seen. “When I see things like Occupy Wall Street, I just try to align myself with things that make sense,” he continued. “Shame on me if I know something and don’t spread it, you know? If I know, it becomes my responsibility to spread the information.” Hundreds of protesters gathered in silence around the pulpit where Kweli stood, rapping a cappella without the aid of a mic. The audience hung on his every syllable as he performed an as-yet-unreleased song, “Distractions,” a cutting indictment of American complacency in the face of important issues. “People are out here from all walks of life, all colors, all classes, people that have jobs, don’t have jobs,” said Res, Kweli’s Idle Warship collaborator. “People just want to get the word out and say, ‘Look, we’re sick of this, we need a change, and what you guys are doing in the White House is not hitting it.’ ” Following the performance, Kweli used the protesters’ human PA system (the speaker says a few words which are then repeated by the audience) to thank the activists for their dedication. “They want to know what the end game is?” Kweli asked. “This is the end game.” Related Artists Talib Kweli

Demi Lovato Announces Tour

Singer will hit the road for 10 dates in November and December. By Jocelyn Vena Demi Lovato Photo: Kevin Mazur/WireImage Lovatics should gear up for a string of dates that has just announced for November and December. The “Skyscraper” singer announced on Friday (October 7) that she’ll hit the road for 10 U.S. dates. The mini tour kicks off on November 16 in Detroit with stops at the Foxwoods in Connecticut; Hershey, Pennsylvania; and Kansas City; two stops in her home state of Texas; and shows in New Orleans, St. Louis and Atlanta. It wraps up on December 3 in Chicago. Tickets go on sale on October 14. This marks Lovato’s first major trek since leaving her tour with the Jonas Brothers last fall to seek treatment for personal issues. Lovato did , however, get her feet wet with two shows in Los Angeles and New York for two special dates in September, where she not only played her own tunes but also got everyone’s attention with her cover of Lil Wayne’s “How to Love.” Last month, Lovato dropped her album Unbroken. Since her musical re-emergence, pop’s latest comeback kid has garnered tons of critical praise. She also recently teased to MTV News that she’s gearing up to release her second single, “Who’s That Boy.” “We’re in the middle of getting the treatment and things put together,” Lovato said of her next music video. “So hopefully we’ll be shooting that soon.” In fact, Lovato said that she’s excited to try her hand at any number of projects that should come her way. “I’m looking forward to kind of just finding out what’s next. I don’t know what’s next — if it’s a movie, if it’s touring, I don’t know,” she said. “We’ll find out.” Full list of Demi Lovato tour dates:
