According to a report in Variety, FCC Chairman Michael Powell (R) has agreed to meet with Hip-Hop Summit organizer Russell Simmons and a host of artists in the genre. The Summit is scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday next week in New York.

Several members of Congress are also making the trip up I-95 from Washington, including James Clyburn (D-SC), Earl Hilliard (D-AK), Cynthia McKinney (D-GA), Bennie Thompson (D-MS) and Maxine Waters (D-CA).

A topic of discussion sure to come up is the $7K fine which was assessed to KKMG-FM Pueblo for airing an edited-for-radio version of "The Real Slim Shady" by rap superstar Eminem.
