Welcome back to another installment of the UrbanWord 411.!!!!!
In the NBA the San Antonio Spurs recently took game 1 following a 4th quarter outburst in which the team shot 14/16. Tim Duncan shot 90% for the game and joined some elite company by completing that feat last Thursday.LeBron James left the game early due to severe cramping, however he has stated that he will be ready for game 2 on June 8th. Dwayne Wade played excellent and looks to be able to still compete at an elite level. The AT&T center experienced a malfunction with the air conditioning causing the arena to elevate in temperature above 90 degrees, which some believe may have affected the players. Above you can look at a highlight reel of the Game 1 action.
Congratulations to Miguel Cotto, who defeated Sergio Martinez via 9th round TKO to become the first Puerto Rican to win titles in 4 weight divisions. Miguel Cotto may have just tossed his name into the pool of potential Floyd Mayweather opponents. Amir Khan may get his chance to fight Mayweather in early 2015 in his home land of Great Britain. The fighter has become the biggest phenom from the area since Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton. Adrien Broner has again expressed his desire to fight Pacquiao and a bout between him and Danny Garcia is currently in the making. The next super fight we have in boxing will feature Canelo Alvarez and power puncher ErisLandy Lara in early July.
In the world of music Troy Ave is still an unsigned free agent who may be close to signing a deal soon. Reports have surfaced that the rapper wants at least 1.3 million dollars for his services, however he is willing to compromise if the numbers are right. Hovain, Troy's manager has stated via an Elliot Wilson interview, that labels are hounding Troy to sign however when the time is right the deal will fall through. The G-Unit album and Dipset albums are coming soon as is Meek Mill's Sophomore project. Slaughterhouse recently released a mixtape to generally critical acclaim showcasing the group's lyrical explosions. Personally my favorite member is Joell Ortiz but I'm a biased Brooklyn guy lol. Each member is dope in his own right but I feel like Crooked I and Budden have alot of pain behind their lyrics.
Welcome Back to another edition of The UrbanWord411!
In recent NBA news the Spurs and the Heat have played well enough to set up a finals rematch which will be the first in back to back seasons since the Bulls and the Jazz from 1997-1998. Upon the loss by the Oklahoma City Thunder, which ended their season, Knicks President of Basketball operations Phil Jackson was fined for tampering. Derek Fisher was the player he allegedly tampered with. Fisher just finished up his final NBA season with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Kevin Love was recently spotted at Fenway Park with Celtic Rajon Rondo on a trip that seems to be recruitment related. Love will become a free agent at the end of next season and has already expressed his displeasure with the team and it's direction. Also Larry Bird and the Indiana Pacers have retained coach Frank Vogel and agreed not to offer Center Roy Hibert a maximum extension. Lance Stephenson's future with the team is currently uncertain as well. Tony Parker is set to play in Game 1 of the finals despite missing the second half of Game 6 in the Conference Finals. Game 1 begins at 9 PM on Thursday June 5th in San Antonio. Also here's my cover of R.Kelly's When A Woman Loves.
As far as the music world goes Summer Jam 2014 proved alot of things. August Alsina is not much of a performer and NY music is still alive and well. G-Unit had a reunion during the festival as did Nas and 50 Cent. Up and coming NY star Troy Ave's performance was spectacular and included the incorporation of rapper T.I. 50 Cent along with Fabolous debuted the remix of the song "Cuffin Season" from Fab's most recent mix tape entitled "The Soul Tape 3". With June here and summer nearly underway expect to see tons of albums dropping as well as tours nationwide. Here are just a few of the festival's performances. The XXL Freshmen class has already released individual freestyles and now the first cypher has been released.
