Taking it to the streets
Article Abstract:
Rap music, which originated in South Central LA where the riots occurred on Apr 29 1992, is raising money for charity to aid those affected by the riots. Some rappers are considered to have been predicting events in their records. Many dirrerent types of music artists are donating time to relief events, but rap is what the people listen to. An album, 'Coma to Consciousness', produced by the Hip Hop Alliance, will benefit families and businesses suffering because of the demonstrations. Ice Cube are joining with other rappers on the single 'You Can Get The Fist.' Not all rappers are politically active but the people think of them as voicing their protests.

Taking stock of the ups and downs
Article Abstract:
The best shares of 1992 were Brown & Jackson followed by TVS Entertainment, who succeeded due to a US takeover bid. Tanjong, which promotes betting, is in third place. Jeans maker Pepe fell 96%, as did chemical group MTM. A third loser is Lightship, which is involved in US commercial paper broking. Considering the recession, which has caused many companies to fold, the bottom ten companies whose shares have fallen can be regarded as survivors.
