Music Moguls of Forbes 2012

April 19th 2012 01:26

Some say that hip hop is dead, I believe that it is evolving into a futuristic chapter of swag that is about to shake the world! Forbes recognized the top five music moguls of 2012 and topping the list again is none other than Sean "Diddy" Combs at a whopping value of $550 million. Jay-Z followed banking in at $460 million with Dr. Dre checking in at $270 million. The top three were followed by rapper, 50-Cent, and Birdman both banking in over $100 million respectively. Many may say that hip hop is dead, but the numbers are proving those that think so very wrong.

Usher's Climax

March 11th 2012 06:24

R&B recording artist, Usher Raymond has topped himself with his new track, Climax. The title gives you a sexual feeling yet it is not at all about sex. The song tells a story related to a crumbling relationship and the metaphor is one of magnificent creativity and extraordinary quality. Hands down to Usher on this one!

Watch the video!!!

Prices Increase While Products Decrease

May 23rd 2011 10:30

I am sure that most of you are feeling the effects of higher prices in today's economy from gas to groceries, but have any of you noticed that the products are shrinking. Angel Soft tissue has decreased in size by nearly 100 sq. ft for a 12-pack roll and many other products are reducing in ounces, grams and alike while the prices are increasing and jobs remain scarce. Yet as we run out of our weekly items quicker and remain unable to fill our tanks, our government continues to forget that minimum wage is still greatly under the .35 cent per year increase that I spoke of in "The Price to Live" that would have us at $12.70 an hour for minimum wage this year if this had been done yearly since 1978... The American people are not at fault that the lavish lifestyles of the Presidents, CEO and likewise of companies have ran its course. It is called the result of GREED and it continues to show as companies try to find side steps to cutting their expenses while robbing us consumers... So how are we suppose to maintain a comfortable livelihood when gas is costing $4.00 a gallon, milk is $4.50 a gallon, and minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. The figures for average American households are not adding up and there is no true solution to getting the economy back on track, so what happens now? My theory: Companies will continue to reduce the size of their products to save on costs and consumers will continue to buy less products, travel only when necessary, and eliminate some items to live, so where does this leave the economy? Answer: Plummeting

Seattle Police: Right or Wrong?

June 17th 2010 00:47

I know everyone has seen the news and headlines regarding the fist to the face a Seattle police handed to a teenage girl. Many of you say it was the correct course of action while others say it went to far. Personally, I am not a fan of the man or woman who puts on a badge and act as if they are above the law. Police around the U.S. need a quick understanding that they can not do as they feel because they have a badge and gun. Daily the bad seeds that do exist in the police force get away with harrassment, brutality, and abuse of authority, but this needs to stop and the immunity that is given to these guys and gals in uniform needs to be put to an end before citizens begin to take action against the police.

What if the citizens that stood around the event would have taken on the police??? Police officers are nothing more than tax paying employees and citizens just as other people, and that's something they need to be made aware of
