The Season! (NBA) Basketball

Well, as you all may know it is that time of the year! Basketball season is here and under way. With the preseason starting and players making come backs from injuries, there is know telling who will make a major break out. It has been brought to the media attention that Derrick Rose, a point guard that tore his ACL in a playoff game last year in 2012. With all the reticule that negative comments that have been thrown at him, he has been determined to show and prove that he is the elite and next big thing coming. With other teams like the New York Knicks, LA Clippers, Miami Heat, Indiana Pacers and Brooklyn Nets along with the Houston Rockets, these teams are determined to win a championship. With Miami being the top team defending their back to back championship, there are many teams gunning for them to knock them off the leading board. The very one team that feels like they feel will do so, would be the Chicago Bulls. It is a rivalry that will always go down in the books. My personal thought on this years season would be to never sleep on the Oklahoma Thunder, LA Clippers, and Houston Rockets. But the only two teams I feel that have a change on upsetting the Miami Heat will be the New York Knicks or the Chicago Bulls. Below is a small clip that was put together that showed some of the exciting moments in the game of basketball.

Do You Feel The Entertainment Industry Brings Out Unnecessary Problems For Artist?

As some of you may all know, Kendrick Lamar a rap artist from California, has stirred up quite a controversy within the rap game. He made it clear that there are only a certain number of rap artist that he feels earns his respect as an artist. However, Kendrick Lamar may have just gotten known for being a good artist within the last year, but people are surprised to know that he has been in the entertainment industry for over 3 years now. The question is, do people feel he has a right to make such a statement, calling himself the "KING OF NEW YORK." Does this bother "Jay - Z" and "NAS,"? These are two of the most talents rap artist in the game right now. But besides collaborating with hip-hop artist BIG SEAN, we would all agree that what he said to certain artist may have been needed in order to bring the hip-hop era back to life. We all remember that back in the early 80's and 90's, the battling between who is the best artist on the West coast, and the East coast ran superior trends across the globe. I personally feel that what Kendrick Lamar did, was brilliant. He made it noticeable that he was the best in the rap game, therefore he made it challenging for other rap artist to become the top artist. But, there was one particular artist that felt did not deserve to be a legit rap artist, and that individual was rap icon Drake. If you were not in attendance for the 2013 Cypher, here is a clip of what was said by Kendrick Lamar about Drake. It has been stated by a reliable source that Erykah Badu encourages Drake to come back in response in a lyrical type of setting stating, "Drake you have to come back boy, this HIP-HOP! Now as we all wait and see if Drake will respond, will it be at a point of transformation for others to continue this trending topic. If so I personally feel that the art of hip-hop will gather better respect and more attention in a positive way.
