Hilary Clinton or Donald Trump

Image
Time is winding down for citizens to decide on which candidate they will vote for in the upcoming 2016 Presidential Election. Having only a month left until Election Day, people are still unsure of who would be the most appropriate figure to represent the U.S. Obviously the most qualified candidate is Hilary Clinton who's currently the secretary of the state, with over 20 years of political experience as senator and First Lady of the U.S., you would think this would be an easy victory for the Clinton's. Especially since her opponent Republican nominee Donald Trump seems to care more about creating controversy oppose to addressing the issues that our county face. Trump who hasn't received much support from either parties or conveyed a plan for of his political suggestions still remain competitive in the polls. Why? Although Hilary Clinton has received several major endorsements including from President Obama, people are uncertain to if she is fit for the position. Failin...

Rapper Shawty Lo dies in an unexpected car crash

Image
Atlanta rapper Shawty Lo died early Tuesday morning in a unspeakable car accident after leaving Blue Flame strip club. The rapper was most known for Atlanta group D4L and their hit single "Laffy Taffy," which helped make Atlanta a hip hop Mecca. His feud with Atlanta's most mainstream artist T.I. grew Shawty Lo's fan base, allowing his solo single "Dey Know" to take over the radio. Shawty Lo literally moved Units in the City , which is also the title of his debut album. Shawty Lo leaves behind his 10 children and a name as for being a good father and provider who always contributed to his home that we know as, Bankhead. Rest easy Shawty Lo, my middle school years would've been nothing without your songs, and you'll always be remembered.

This reoccurring allegation towards Drake comes as no surprise and neither is Drake response; on his Summer Sixteen tour he made a very indirect and uninformative comment that may be directed towards Cudi...idk frankly I'm over beefs with Drake, because they're all quite repetitive. Everyone thinks they're soooo great. Talkin top 5 and be having 30 people write songs for them — The Chosen One (@KidCudi) September 14, 2016 However Kanye instantly responded to Cudi's words on his Saint Pablo tour in Tampa. Generally Ye is more of a smart ass with his responses, but he seems more hurt t...
