Justin Bieber on the B.E.T. Hip Hop Cypher? That could have happened?!

I think that’s what people are genuinely concerned with.”
Man Goes ‘Subway Surfing’ Outside Of Speeding New York City Train (Video)
October 14, 2011
A man in New York City rode outside a speeding J train & it was captured on video by other passengers. Dude has some serious balls to do something like this! Apparently the video has caught the attention of NYC authorities who are trying to discourage other people from wildin’ out like this & risking their lives. I’ve seen wilder things on the train in NYC back in the day. These days the cars are cleaner & newer but the game hasn’t changed.

Steve Jobs RIP
October 6, 2011
A Modern Day Thomas Edison, Apple’s Steve Jobs succumbed to pancreatic cancer at the age of 56 & completely revolutionized the world in which we live in that short period. It’s not hard to be inspired by a man who was given up at birth, never finished college, forced out of a company that he built, & came back to change the world in which we live in through his inventions. Steve Jobs was a perfect example of not letting your detractors get in the way of your dreams. Normally rocking a black shirt, blue jeans, & sneakers Steve was the manifestation of not living your life for others, but to be who you are & do what you love. It all makes sense now why Apple recently released the iphone4S instead of the long rumored iphone5 this week.
Iphone4S = Iphone 4 Steve

Jay Z responds to Lil Wayne??? (Video)
October 3, 2011
Jay vs Wayne in the “read between the lines” match of the century. I feel like if you have to beef subliminally then you should let the tension go. If you can’t formally address people by name then I can’t believe that its real but then again WTF do I know?
