The Living Legend...Is AMW Russell Simmons

Amerikaz Most Wanted interactive entertainment salutes all who are and were AMW. Each month we will make an effort to salute those who can be perceived as such. They question the norm, inspire thought and creativity, and stir emotion in all people young and old. These people may or not be role models…but they are Amerikaz.Most.Wanted....R U?




How can you sum up the life of a living legend. Simple...

"WHAT NEXT"...

He's done it all and continues to do so. It would do the man no justice to say that he his the co founder of Def Jam the single most influential recording label of it's time. Why others see that accomplishment as astronomical for Russ it was merely a beginning. From hip-hop to around the globe and back again that is Russell. As the owner of RUSH communications he spans Phat Fashions, (featuring the Phat Farm, Baby Phat, and Phat Farm Kids lines, which expects to bring in an estimated $615 million in retail sales this year) and music (he is chairman of Island/Def Jam records, although he sold his stake in the company in 1999). There's a new financial-services arm, an entertainment unit that includes the acclaimed Def Comedy Jam and Def Poetry Jam series of live shows and television programs, a monthly magazine, and an energy soda, DefCon3. Rush also houses the nonprofit Hip-Hop Summit Action Network, a nationwide series of youth conferences aimed at increasing voter registration and political awareness, and the Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation. Isn't that enough?
Of course not...Do your research. This Man is a Global Icon from France, Japan, china, Africa, Australia, United Kingdom, Holland, all of south America, and back to Hollis, Queens in New York. At 48 years of age.. He still asks his favorite question..."What Next?"

Black white is AMW. There is no doubt about that. These two families have joined together to change thier cultures and thier skin...and it is not a comfortable fit for anyone. This show stirs emotions, questions societies acceptence, and shines a bright light in a dark place. Race relations. It's America's Blind Spot and everyone knows it. read the reviews and WATCH THIS SHOW!!! Even if you dislike it you will be inspired to think about the category that we all are put in on a daily basis...RACE.

"It demonstrates the potential of reality television to go beyond determining who can eat the most worms or scream the loudest, to illuminate important social and cultural issues." -Philadelphia Inquirer Jonathan Storm

"Black. White." makes you think, makes you want to have a conversation about racial issues and makes you examine your own beliefs and biases. How often does a TV show do that? " -Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen
