Power 106 interview with Drake



Drake was in L.A. a few days ago for his show at Cal State L.A. & stopped by to kick it for a bit at the Power 106 studios.

*for those of ya'll that went to his "after-party" at club Element, ya'll seen him come-n-go within minutes, due to BAD business. SHADY-ass promoters had been lying to the fans & attendees plus overcharging people at the door & promising a live performance, which wasn't in the "hosting" contract to begin with. Soo.. drizzy LEFT the building & was ALSO underpaid by those promoters according to sources ;)

*word to Luscious Liz

Inbetween Clipse's most recent video shoot for there new single "Kinda like a Big Deal" being shot in Brooklyn, NY.. Kanye West shows off a collection of his New "Yeezy Vuitton" louis Vuitton sneakers & the 3rd & final installment of the Nike "Air Yeezy" line.

All FIRE. 2 sneaker lines from 2 different companys.. in the SAME season? Nike & Louis Vuitton? Air Yeezy's & Yeezy Vuitton's? Kanye West is one of the most creative, hard-working, influential individuals of OUR time. 'nuff said.

T.I.'s farewell




On Sunday T.I. sold out the Philips arena in Atlanta for his "farewell" concert before taking off the next morning to a low-security Arkansas prison for 1 whole year(his gun charges).

Tip's always been one of my favorite rappers comin out the south. Urban Legend & KING are some of the hardest albums i own.. no joke. This'll just make dude stronger, & believe it or not, actually strengthen his career(rep).

we'll see you NEXT year homie!! keep ya head up tip.

Adidas: "The Inner Workings of A Creator"





"Free Darko," a leading blog voice within the world of hoops and author of "The Macrophenomenal Pro Basketball Almanac," has partnered with Adidas on two fully animated videos highlighting the inner-workings of Orlando Magic big man Dwight Howard and Bulls sensational rookie star Derrick Rose. Their uniquely stylistic approach to analyzing both players’ game and strengths comes to life through the deep telling voice of Jurassic 5 MC and artist in his own right, Chali 2Na.

i'm not really into Adidas stuff but they DO do a great job with their athlete marketing shemes, & their current NBA roster is pretty deep. I'm actually a fan of this new anime campaign thing they got going on w/ Dwight & Rose.

LeBron James: "Where AMAZING happens.."



Last night in Cleveland's 2nd game against Orlando, LeBron hit a miracle game-winning 3 pointer with 1 second left in regulation, which happens to be the biggest shot of his career. He ended the night w/ 35 points & 5 dimes.

A 25-foot game-winning, buzzer-beating 3-pointer that defies all reason? One that no more than two dozen people on Earth could have thought he'd hit? One that saved the Cavaliers' dream season -- as well as Cleveland's collective sports psyche -- from plunging into the abyss?

that's just what MVP's do. lol

*James became the third player in NBA playoff history to compile at least 300 points, 80 rebounds and 60 assists in the first 10 games of a single postseason (he has now done this twice).

**Since 2006 James has totaled more 30+ point games in the Playoffs than anyone in the NBA.. 27 times, 3 more than kobe bryant.

Nokia "light messaging"



Nokia has filed a patent for a cellphone capable of “light messaging.”

The patented phone has software that lets the user select a color to accompany the text being sent, which would then illuminate an LED array on the recipient’s light-messaging phone to let him know the mood in which the sender sent the message.

i wonder what color flashes for booty-calls.. lol

SLAM 129

What a classic cover.. especially with the peak of the playoffs currently going on & all this "Great debate: kobe vs. LeBron" talk arising EVERYWHERE. Can you imagine if the Denver Nuggets were to upset & take out the Lakers this series?? dammn.. then SOMEBODY would be held responsible for causing a huuge magazine recall & have to get THEIR face photoshopped out & replaced w/ a Carmelo head. I can't say the same for LeBron against Dwight tho.. cos': "LeBron would NEVER let this happen!!" haha

kobe.. don't F*CK things up, everyone's watching. lol

Stephon Marbury is a dumb mutha'f*cka.

Countdown (post #100!)


12
months away...

From this point out i will be counting down the months left till i finally graduate from school, marking a tremendous accomplishment for myself & a huge upgrade in my life. The class ahead of mines had just graduated last week so i am OFFICIALLY 12 months away from my OWN "red carpet" exit.

These "Countdown" postings are just for my own personal satisfaction, & it helps time fly MUCH faster as i start checking off the months as they pass.

*for those of you that have noticed my blog-posting drought this past week, that was all due to me having no personal computer time, reason being i was preparing for, & taking my Spring FINALS.

**this is my 100th posting :]
