SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - DECEMBER 06: Singer Kanye West performs on stage at the Acer Arena on December 6, 2008 in Sydney, Australia. (Photo by Mike Flokis/Getty Images)

Earlier This week Kanye West gave an awesome performance of his new song ‘Power’ at the Singapore Music Fest. In the song Kanye apologizes to his fans:

But when I finally got the power, what the f*ck did i do? I’m so sorry to y’all, everyone one of y’all that had to fight for my name/ Everyone of y’all a year ago that I made feel ashamed/ Everyone that said “Kanye is that n*gga quick [inaudible] my name, And all ya’ll…I am the one to blame / and the people that I let down, I wanna tell you, right here, right now that I’m a new man and understand my position of power.

Kudos to Kanye for taking time out to better himself… it takes a strong person to admit to having a problem and an even stronger person to do something about it. *clapping it up for Kanye* I’m a huge Kanye fan but I was extremely worried about him after that Taylor Swift spotlight stealing incident. I guess time will tell if he is truly a changed man…either way I’m pretty sure that I’ll remain a fan. I look forward to hearing more of that honest and “in your face” Kanye music that I’ve been missing?

Jay-Z Suing Red Sox’s David Ortiz

Rapper/ Mogul Jay-Z is suing Boston Red Sox’s David Ortiz for naming his Santo Domingo nightclub after his chain of 40/40 nightclubs. Jay-Z has clubs with the name in Manhattan, Las Vegas and Atlantic City. The suit was filed on Thursday at Manhattan Federal Court.

Ortiz is accused of naming his club 40/40 in an effort to gain business using Jay-Z’s fame. Reportedly Jay is seeking $5 million in damages and for Ortiz to forfeit any use of the name 40/40. Ortiz insists that his club is named after his hitting 40 homers and stealing 40 bases in one season. However, Ortiz has visited Jay-Z’s 40/40 club several times and was fully aware of the name.

Obviously, Jay-z is not doing this for the money, the man is a millionare, but I think that this has more to do with principle. Ortiz should have used a little common sense before going through with that. Kudos to Jay-Z for stepping up to claim what is his. Some may argue that this petty but I agree with Jay-Z on this one. I’m sure that this Ortiz guy knew that naming his club 40/40 would have people thinking that Jay-Z had something to do with it. Regardless of his reasons for giving his club the same name, I’m not buying it. I think that Jay-Z has every right to the name and Ortiz needs to pay just like anyone else that wants to put Jay-Z’s name on something.

I love love love this song “Even Angels” by Fantasia . For some reason I haven’t really heard it on the radio but who cares…this song is hot! It is such an amazing inspirational song that anyone that has been through anything can appreciate. As most of you have read or heard…Fantasia has been through a lot in her life but this song is proof that she is using her past to build her future. I love the fact that she didn’t return with the usual “comeback” song….I think you all know what I am talking about. Kudos to Fantasia for using her pain and struggles to inspire others.

Butler and Duke

The only #1 seed pulls it off – barely!!!

Duke won it’s fourth National Championship on Monday April 5, 2010 by beating Butler 61-59. I must admit Hayward’s half court shot would have made, in my opinion, the best NCAA National Championship game I’ve seen in years, almost EPIC!!!!

This game is the reason why college basketball is amazing to watch. With most of the second half behind, Butler fought back… It was like “The Rumble in the Jungle” just this time, Foreman won.

Down 47-43, Butler got a stop.

Down 51-47, Butler got a stop.

Down 56-51, Butler got two stops.

Down 60-55, Butler got a stop.

The missed Duke free throw, Hayward’s half court shot – back board, in and out!!! WOW!!!

According to ESPN, the closes Title game since 1989 when Michigan beat Seton Hall by 1!!!!

As the entire world was pulling for the underdog, the reality of the matter is Duke (at least last night) was the better team, kudos to Duke and Coah K.

Bulldogs, you have absolutely nothing to be upset about. One hell of a game and one hell of a run!!!! See you next March!!!!!!
