10 Reasons Why I Can't Stand the Indiana Pacers
Yes I am a Heat fan, shut up.
- Indiana's racist reputation- Every time I see the fans, I can't help but see most of those smiling faces behind white sheets. Like they use that arena for Klan meetings during offseason.
- Their coach- His name is Frank Vogel, doesn't that sound like somebody you want to punch in the face?
- David West- Nuff said
- Lance Stephenson- Dude looks like a lizard and every time he gets called for something he sways his head in a douchey way that makes me want to slap him
- They always try and start something with LeBron- Mentally and Physically. The Pacers are like the Bad Boy Pistons for Bron right now.
- Their colors- Just ew
- Dirty players- The whole freaking team
- Corrupt refs well- How else can you explain the non stop bad calls? If these guys regulated pro soccer for any Hispanic country, they would've been killed and their deaths would probably be celebrated.
- I Cannot stand a Cinderella story in sports
- Game 7- We'll see how this ends.
B.I.G.'s Killer Revealed
I don't understand how murders can go unsolved. Its all a matter of importance. If the government and the Police Department consider the situation important then they will solve it. Which makes me ask this question, will Biggie's killer ever confess? Is this dude just chillin somewhere in Brooklyn with a small family trying to make ends meet. Maybe he will confess it on his deathbed. Come out with a book titled "I Shot Ya" and do an exclusive interview. The NYPD must be a bunch of country music fans because they don't give a crap whenever a rapper is slain. That's just a thought that came to mind.

Yeezus and my feelings on Kanye
More information on Kanye West's new album has finally been released. So now we have a title, Yeezus, release date, June 18th and possible cover art. And we also have two singles to listen to: New Slaves and Black Skinhead. As a fan, I don't know what to feel about all of this. When I first heard New Slaves it sounded like a Cruel Summer reject but I will grow on it after a few more listens.
My predictions are this: Yeezus will be the most creative and groundbreaking album in rap history. Kanye continues to break new ground through artistry and marketing, just look at what he did with New Slaves. Whether you think he's an egomaniac or not you cannot deny that the man is a genius. Twenty years from now when Rolling Stone lists the Top 100 artists Kanye should be top 10. Even though his lyricism may not have been the best of best his creativity has been an inspiration to this generation and won't be forgotten.
I'm definitely getting the album. Like I said, summer 2013 is going to be big for hip hop!

Playoff Predictions revisited
My playoff predictions aren't so wrong. Let's start off with the West-
The Clippers disappointed me, how they couldn't get past the team they beat last year without Rudy Gay is a wonder to me. McGrady finally got past the first round, I expected to see confetti and tears but a Lakers loss is good enough for me. Denver surprisingly lost and now Golden State is going to pull the upset and beat the Spurs. The biggest shock was Westbrook's injury. But KD couldn't be happier playing without him as if this was his dream come true. This Memphis/Thunder is going to be a good one but I have to give it to Memphis.

Western Conference Finals
Golden State vs Memphis
4-1 Memphis
The Bulls pulled away from soft Brooklyn and now they're going to give Miami a hard time but they're still going to lose in maybe 7. The Knicks are no threat at all, the Pacers could advance but its not going to be easy. Knicks will win in six.
Eastern Conference Finals
Miami vs NY
4-2 Miami
We'll see how this goes in two weeks.
Derrick Rose
There is a joke going on about Derrick Rose, it goes like this "Derrick Rose is on the cover of 2k13... yet he hasn't played a single game of the season" I don't know if this was supposed to be an actual joke or an ironic truth but I found it humorous. I was actually waiting for Rose's return and I'm saying that as a Heat fan. I know I wasn't the only one who got pumped from that The Return commercial.
I'm not going to call Rose soft nor question his ways but all I'm saying is if you're not going to play then don't play and keep your mouth shut. Don't get people's hopes up saying that you're "considering it". I have astronomical expectations of him for when he comes back next season. I want to see 40+ point games and a neck to neck run with LeBron for MVP. Rose is a promising player and was fun to watch, I know he will do something special when he actually does return. How do you feel about the Rose-less season and what do you want to see in The Return and will the Bulls ever really be a championship contender?
Real quick- How come nobody is pissed off at Andrew Bynum. Way to get Philly's hopes up and then turn right around and flick them off. I never liked this guy to begin and that stupid hairstyle he was rocking while sitting on the bench was very obnoxious and distracting. Will Bynum make a career comeback? The world may never know

Apology to Mr. Cole
In my Where is Hip Hop At series in part 3 I insulted J. Cole, calling him a Drake clone. After further review of his music and the recent release of Truly Yours 2 I realize that an apology is necessary. Mr. Cole I am very sorry for disrespecting you.
This guy hasn't blown up yet, Cole World was just a warm up, no pun intended. June 25th is going to be a good day for hip hop because Wale's The Gifted comes out the same day as Born Sinner. Hopefully both surprise us because there is no hype around them right now. If you haven't heard Truly Yours 2 yet you're missing out. Now I'm definitely looking forward to his collabo with Kendrick Lamar, no details on that one yet.
