Jordan VS Lebron

http://www.examiner.com/pop-culture-in-omaha/michael-jordan-responds-to-lebron-james-rise-commercial

Everyone has seen the Lebron James "Rise" commercial, where he attacks Cleveland fans and asks, what he should do. In the commercial he takes a stab at Charles Barkley, and even the great MJ. He says "Should i just sell shoes, shiny new shoes?" Refering to the the real king of the court. So, as we all know, MJ has the heart of a champion and will not lay down to a kid. In 2008, MJ had already made a video called "Maybe its my fault..." Recently the two commercials were combined as a true diss to the man who took his talents to south beach. Below are links to the original Jordan video and a cleveland response.

Redemption

Everyone knows the story of Mike Vick. He used to play for the Atlanta Falcons, and was then arrested for dog fighting. When he was released form jail, he rejoined the NFL on the Philadelphia Eagles. He is now the starter and arguably the greatest quarterback in the league. Many people do not believe that he deserved a second chance, but you can not deny his greatness on the football field. 2 weeks ago, his jersey worn on his Monday night performance was enshrined in the pro football hall of fame. Vick Threw for over 320 yards, ran for 80, threw 4 TDs and ran for 2 TDs. No quarterback in the history of the NFL has done that. I believe in 2nd chances, do you think he deserved one?

Limewire replacement options

So many of us loved using limewire or frostwire, but unfortunately it was shut down. Well you can use torrents, which is still illegal, and you cant use them here. But, for new music you may not have ever heard, or you may not hear for a while, datpiff.com is a great website. It is basically a website with free mixtapes and if you make music you can put up some of yours as well. Its legal and you can download at school. All you have to do is sign up.

If you like Rap, here's a couple mixtapes from people i know, they are really good.

Hip Hop President

http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2010/11/03/131042868/the-release-of-rapper-lil-wayne-from-rikers-island-prison-thursday-has-former-president-bill-clinton-excited-for-the-young-rapper-to-get-on-with-his-life-the-topic-came-up-on-election-day-when-clinton-called-in-to-th?ft=1&f=1001

According to NPR Bill Clinton Is excited to see Lil Wayne go back to making music. He told NPR that his daughter got him into rap. I find this interesting because its not common that you see the president listening to rap. When you think of Bush, you definitely don't think of rap, you think of country. Its well known that Obama likes Jay-z , but still, its not everyday that a former president is excited that a rapper leaves jail.
