Time Is Flying

Man oh man is time flying by. We are a week away from March, past the NBA All-Star Break, and Rick Ross's Album will drop in a number of days. Recently I got a request to speak on how I felt about all the black violence on this blog. Personally I feel that if Black people took that energy and put it into something positive they could truly be dominant. Never the less I am not apart of the senseless killing and I don't live my life worried about dying. We will all die one day, but while I'm here I plan on living by God's laws and being as happy as I can be. So as far as the killings in Chicago and Florida recently, I could care less, because regardless of if people get justice or not the life is gone and we must move on. America is not the land of the Blacks and as much " Affirmative Action" as they may try to implement you will never be on a leveled playing field so work harder to succeed.

In NBA news the Western Conference Playoff race has become a tight one as has the race out East. I am predicting that top seed in the East will be Indiana and out West it will be Oklahoma City Thunder and I am also predicting that these two teams will reach the finals with the possibility of the Clippers/Rockets playing the spoiler alert as well as Miami/New York Knicks doing the same thing out East. There's nothing I love more than playoff basketball and I recently made my return to the hardwood in an effort to rehab to get ready for next season. Along with myself, former 2-Time All Star Baron Davis is attempting to make a return to the court after nearly 2 seasons as he was last seen playing for the New York Knicks. The trade deadline passed with minimal trades, however one Blockbuster trade moved the Pacers Danny Granger to Philadelphia and brought Evan Turner to Indiana. Big Baby Glen Davis is rumored to most likely sign with either the Brooklyn Nets or the Los Angeles Clippers since his contract was recently bought out. Metta World Peace and Beno Udrih recently had their contracts bought out as well. Man I can't wait till April.


In the world of music Beyonce recently released a Drunk in Love Remix featuring a fairly explicit verse by the one and only Kanye West. Rick Ross's Mastermind will drop March 4th and New York City's rappers are all showing one another love. Maino's K.O.B. mixtape has sold very well via his website and there is rumored to be another ASAPMOB album releasing later this year. Troy Ave, The Lox, and Bodega Bamz are all rumored to be releasing either albums or another mixtape very soon making New York Music relevant again. 

Ladies and Gentlemen it's that time of the year to stack your money and get ready to spend as much time with your family this summer as you can. There are plenty of movies coming out this summer and for all of you college students the internship possibilities are nearly limitless.

As always if you have a topic that you would like to speak on please let me know and continue to email me. Add me on both instagram and twitter @rayhemthedream and I am Rayhem Corbin on face book.

Love is In the Air

Sorry I haven't been able to post anything in almost a month now but better late than ever right? In other news this upcoming Valentine's day there are
set to be a number of mixtapes being released via datpiff.com by a plethora of artists. Also the super fight between George Zimmerman and DMX has been canceled by the celebrity promoter due to the reaction from the public. Early this week Harlem's own Vado dropped his EP Sinatra featuring the hit single "Look Me In My Eyes". Also this year we celebrate 20 years since the release of Nas's Illmatic and 10 years since Kanye West's The College Dropout. These two albums are hip hop classics and Illmatic will have a re-release coming later this year.

In the realm of NBA news Damian Lillard will make All-Star history by being the first player to compete in all five main events this year. I'm taking Stephen Curry in the 3 point shootout, John Wall in the Dunk Contest, and the West in the All-Star game with Blake Griffin or Kevin Durant taking the MVP trophy home. To leave the NBA for a moment, everyone make sure to purchase the J23 app from Itunes in order to stay up to date on those special edition Valentine's day releases and other promotions such as restocks. All-Star weekend will take place in New Orleans this year and you can expect to see all of your favorite hip hop and R&B artists present at this annual rendezvous of the elite athletes in the sport and the talented artists of our generation.
