#SorryForTheWait

The biggest fight of the century finally has a date set. Two of this generations greatest boxers and a matchup that has been wanted for years has finally been confirmed. Floyd "Money" Mayweather and Manny "Pac-Man" Pacquiao will finally square off. Mayweather has an unblemished record at 47-0 while Pacquiao has 5 faults with a 57-5 record. Many are said to believe that Pac-Man is Money May's only potential loss that he can take, but most also believe it's too late. I know I'm looking forward to May 2nd when the two square off in Las Vegas and I'm sure 97% of the world will as well. This is hands down the biggest match since Holyfield vs. Tyson in the 1990's. Will it live up to the hype? We'll see later this year. Oh yeah...#SorryForTheWait

"Straight Outta Compton"

One of the most iconic and groundbreaking groups of all time was a group named N.W.A. and they were from one of the most dangerous cities in America which was Compton, California. The group consisted of Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, DJ Yella, and MC Ren. The group linked up through various connections from childhood friendships and musical connections to perform the super group. They were most known for breaking barriers in music, and most known for taking "gangsta rap" mainstream. Songs such as "Straight Outta Compton", and "Boyz-N-The-Hood", gave a description of the lives of the young males everyday life. While "F*** Tha Police" ruffled the feathers of law enforcement as well as political officials to the point where they tried to get the group banned from radio and television alike. Not only were they pioneers of "gangsta rap" but also one of the first to telecast stories of the young black youth in America. Love them or hate them, they impacted hip-hop on a number of levels.

"Straight Outta Compton" the movie documents all of their trials and tribulations and climb to the top. Everything from first meeting up, to record deals, to money, to gangs and violence, money and women, to family. A wide spectrum is covered and looks to be a very interesting flick. The trailer above is only a taste of what you can look forward this summer as the movie is slated for an August 14th release. I know I'll be going to catch it. Will you?

As if Kanye West shutting down NYC wasn't enough, Drake who is signed to Young Money/Cash Money released a surprised album titled "If You're Reading This Its Too Late". Many had been speculating the release for quite some time but had no actual evidence of when it may drop. Well the wait is over and it is finally here. Appearances include Travi$ Scott of G.O.O.D. Music, and Drake's artist who is signed to OVO PARTYNEXTDOOR. A few of my personal favorites include "Company","10 Bands", and "Know Yourself" but don't let me tell you whats hot. It is now available on iTunes and can purchase it HERE.
