hip hop moguls beef

In hop hop news, two of the latest icons have a so called beef with one another.  Rapper Jay-Z also known as Sean Carter and Lil Wayne are fueding over who's the best between the two.  There are several things that make a rapper great.  One being their celebrity or fame and the other being their money.  Jay-Z proclaims his bank account has an ugly number that only an accountant can articulate.  On the contrary, Lil Wayne say's he is the best rapper. Both rappers have sold millions of hip hop albums and have fan bases with insurmountable numbers. Perhaps this beef stems from fans who instigate the drama.  How far will this beef go? 

The last major beef between hip hop artist ended in death.  The late great Notorius Big and Tupac Shukar were once friends until money and territory came into the picture.  The two started to fued with one another over who the better rapper was.  Not too long after both rappers were killed by unknown suspects.
Is this new hip hop beef just to sell records or could it be serious?

Bad News Bears

The Chicago bears are off to yet another bad start this season with a 1 win and a 2 loss record.  Today the bad news bears lost to the Green Bay Packers right after loosing to the New Orleans Saints last week.  The bears won the season opener against the Atlanta falcons with a blowout 30-12 score.  After the one game season opener the bears gameplay is surely declining.  Although bears quaterback Jay Cutler has only thrown for one interception this season he is not the only blame for the bears slow performance.  Cutler has minimal pass protection which leaves him virtually open to the defense.  Running back Matt Forte only has one touchdown in three games.  This means the offense isn't putting up much points.  Lets just face the facts.  The Bears have never been the best at creating offensive production but on the contrary the defense wins games.  However, the defense allowed 27 points today versus the Packers and 30 points in game two versus the Saints.  If the Bears can't hold the offense to under 21 points per game it's going to be a long season.  Green Bay quaterback Aaron Rodgers threw for  297 yards and three touchdowns in todays game vs. Chicago.  If the bears defense can't win the game and neither can the offense then maybe Hester and special teams can.  The bears are set to take on the Carolina Panthers next week.  Perhaps special teams can pick up the slack.

9/11

Check out this clip.  It's very depressing but will help you sort out your own feelings about the events that transpired ten years ago.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CXKT6Jt4AQ.

After watching this clip, I was in tears thinking about the countless amount of men, women and children who lost their lives on that day due to terrorist.  Innocent people lost their lives at a day of work.  This attack has struck our nation at the core and forced us to join forces with one another despite race, ethnicity, or background. 

Although I was only 16 when it happened, I was still old enough to understand the effect that it had.  However, I didn't know the magnitude it would have on todays airline security.  Just recently, Osama Bin Laden was captured and killed by America's finest (Navy Seals).  Some say he was the conspiracy/leader behind the attacks on 9/11.  Because he is dead and gone now, will this help Americans rest?  Do you feel safer now?
