We have been waiting for this collaboration for a while now, and we finally got a little piece of it. Jay-Z hops on "Don't Kill My Vibe" and of course Kendrick Lamar showed up with some new verses. Kendrick made sure he had some hot bars to match anything HOV could do and yes, Kendrick held his own. Check it out!
In The Miami Heat's 105-103 victory last night over my Boston Celtics, (it don't matter doe, we were injury plagued and STILL gave them that work) Lebron James claimed the soul of Jason Terry by catching an alley-oop over Jason Terry. This monstrous dunk is only rivaled by DeAndre Jordan's (LA CLippers) dunk on the Detroit Piston point guard Brandon Knight. (see here). Regardless, James rightfully gained his retribution from the 2011 NBA Finals; the year in which the Dallas Mavericks won the NBA Championship by beating the Heat. During that series, the then-Maverick had been trash-talking Lebron James and Dwayne Wade by downplaying their abilities and poking fun at them being sick. As of last night, Jason Terry was forced to have a Thanksgiving feast on his own words. Jason Terry was a good guy. May he forever rest in peace.
P.S. He's not really dead, if you couldn't read between the lines.
Finally we have moved onto the next generation of technology. Dominik Brumm and Serge Weydert of the the Artificial Lab of the University of Zurich sit behind the humanoid robot ROBOY during a media presentation in Zurich February 27, 2013. A project team, composed of scholars and industry representatives, has been working on ROBOY since June 2012. My only question is if this is a good thing or not? Of course the advancement in technology is a good thing but should we rely on it? I think technology is there to assist us but instead many humans become lazier, contributing to our self destruction. However this is great progress, although these robots look awfully similar to the ones in "iRobot," which is a little scary. ROBOY is not completely done and I will update you when they've completed ROBOY, but as for now here are just some photos.
As if we, black men, aren't already plagued with the stereotype of walking out on our families and children, guess what Kanye West does. Almost literally midway through Kim Kardashian's pregnancy, Kanye decided to take his talents to Europe. For now, we don't know the full story, but based on what we know now, Kanye is looking like the biggest jerk in all of mankind. First he endorses Beyonce during a Taylor Swift acceptance speech, then he walks out on his woman and child. Good going Kanye. What an example. I'm trying to be like Kanye when I grow up. At least his music is nice.
All in all, like I said before, it is not confirmed that he left her for good, but if he did, I feel bad for him--more-so for Kim, but whatever. The media is going to rip his soul out. Moreover, the Illuminati may terminate his contract. We don't want that. We need people like Kanye in the game. Whatever the case is, he can't go to far because you can try to duck off, but playing hide & seek with child support is almost never successful. Child support will find ya. Kim is already rich, but don't put it past her.
Today marks the 16 Anniversary of a Hip-Hop legend "The Notorious B.I.G." March 9, 1997 Christopher Wallace was shot in a drive-by shooting, assuming it was due to the beef between Tupac. After only having 2 completed albums before he died and 1 released album after his death, we truly lost a influential person in hip-hop. In honor of this day I created this list of the Top 15 Biggie Songs. Enjoy!
15. Big Poppa
Single off of his Ready To Die album. This is a good song coming at number 15 because of it's popularity and because it's just a classic. Many probably think this song should be lower.
14. Unbelievable
This is track 16 off of Ready To Die. The entertaining beat matched with flawless bars makes this song number 14.
13. Ten Crack Commandments
Track 5 off of the second disc in Life After Death is known for it's unique format of pretty nice bars. Biggie goes through the 10 things you must learn in order to be successful when dealing drugs. The unspoken truth was now spoken.
12. The What
This song is track 9 off of Ready To Die. I chose this song mainly because of the feature. Method Man's nice verse and chorus was the icing on the cake to this song.
11. Brooklyn's Finest
No this is not a Biggie song but he does feature in it. Off Jay-Z 96 Reasonable Doubt, biggie features and lays down a couple of lines proving why they're "Brooklyn's Finest."
10. Get Money
This 1995 classic song off of Junior Mafia's Conspiracy album had to make the list. Biggie and Lil Kim nice and flawless bars is what make this song great. Although Tupac used this beat to diss B.I.G once they began beefing, I still enjoy the original.
9. Mo Money Mo Problems
This hit single is number 9 for being a classic collaboration. The video depicts the life we all want while Biggie is explaining that life doesn't get easier once you have money makes the song timeless.
8.One More Chance
This song is just one of them songs that you put on repeat, constantly. This old R&B goes perfectly with Biggies unique flow and tone of his voice.
7. Who Shot Ya
Actually this song is not on the original Ready To Die album. "Who Shot Ya" was a regular recorded song that changed the hip-hop industry forever. This song was claimed to had been directed towards Tupac after he was gunned down in a New York studio. This was the song that started it all which eventually led to his death, but the flawless lyrics is why the song is number 7.
6. Sky's The Limit
Of course this song would be on the list. This motivating anthem is number 6 because of the style, lyrics, and video for the song.
5.Warning
Ironically this is the number 5 track on Ready to Die, but it's number 5 on here because of it's story and nice lyrics to match. The video goes perfectly with the song.
4.Things Done Changed
This song is the first track off of Ready To Die which sets the tone for the rest of the album. This song is just flawless. This classic song depicts the reality of what things were like for many makes including B.I.G.
3.Hypnotize
This leading single off of Life After Death is another classic song from B.I.G. Is number 3 because of the style, beat, and the video were just timeless.
2.Suicidal Thoughts
Nothing really needs to be said when you see this song on the list. This is the last song off of Ready To Die. The song ends with B.I.G shooting himself in the head and the album is over. The entire album tells a story and this song is the final ending of the story. Throughout the song he is contemplating suicide and the way he is doing it makes the song an absolute classic, which is why the song is number 2.
1. Juicy
Like are you really surprised? Probably Not? Juicy is the number 1 song because well it's classic. From the opening of the song to the end B.I.G is showing us what we all strive for, "success." This successful leading single off of Ready To Die set the tone for his career. We knew what to expect from him and he delivered time after time.
Time for a little interaction. The comment boxes on our posts resemble what a Michelle Williams concert would look like. Therefore, I've decided to do a little "This or That" with you all. It'd be interesting to see what you all's opinions are on certain things. Comparisons get the people going. It's provocative. I kid. But without further adieu...

Alright, that's enough for now. I'm tired of thinking. Also, notice that "Both" or "Neither" are not answer choices. Just thought I'd point that very important detail out. But if you all like and respond well to these questions, a part 2 could be cooked up. Anyway, drop your answers in the comment box below, g. All of this wasn't typed for you to answer these in your head. I wanna see sum opin'yuns, breh.

Adrien Broner. Get used to the name. You're going to be hearing it a lot in the near future...especially if you're an avid fan of Boxing.
Broner (26-0 [22 KOs]) is one of the best boxers in the business right now. His remarkable speed and counter-punch ability makes him pretty much unbeatable (at least for right now). He also matches that speed with exceptional power behind his punches. Now obviously, an undefeated record, punching power, counter-punch ability, and speed doesn't make you Money Mayweather, but the arrogance and braggadocio does. This guy has to be one of the arrogant people in all of sports history. His specialty, like Mayweather, is getting into the heads of his opponents before Rocky Balboa'ing them in the ring. Just look at his K.O. percentage. I'd like to think that he can back up the talk. Although Broner is a phenomenon, I can see him getting humbled before Mayweather does, being that Mayweather is less aggressive and more poised. (Not that Mayweather will ever get humbled).
I'm just going to leave some highlights and interviews to back up what I was saying. Didn't be'lee me juh watch...
So yeah, Adrien "The Problem" Broner is really a problem...and will continue to be for many years to come. Get used to the name. You heard it here first...
