With the recent arrest of T.I. and the historically bad relationship between rappers and the police, a debate rages about whether or not law enforcement unfairly targets people in the hip hop industry (we sort of tack black athletes onto that, too). Stereohyped TV took to the streets yesterday* to get some opinions.

*You'll see a couple Halloween costumes.

Friday night, Stereohyped hit up the red carpet at Ciara's 22nd birthday party (one of 7 parties on a 5-city birthday tour) at Runway in NYC. It was raining*, which caused attendees like Lenny Kravitz, Missy Elliot, and Fabolous to skip the red carpet and duck into the club. Ciara, of course, was on hand to talk to Stereohyped. And I'd like to think that it wasn't because she had to, it being her party and all, but because she wanted to. She discusses T.I., her love for blogs, and crazy rumors on the premiere episode of Stereohyped TV.**

–Not on the video, but important to note. She stands by the "good friend" story, but her face pretty much lights up when 50 Cent's name is mentioned. True story.

*Note to self: after getting rained on, touch up makeup before stepping in front of the camera.
