Lil' Wayne- 6' 7" featuring Cory Gunz
If it sounds like "A-Milli", that's because it was born of the same DNA. The Bangladesh production is supposedly the next single from the Carter IV.
Best part of the song is the reunion between Lil' Wayne and Cory Gunz, two former partners in rhyme.
T.I tops hip hop charts from the jail cell.
T.I's No Mercy album was the highest selling hip hop album of the week with 159,000 copies sold, reaching number four on the Billboard 200. Without a hit single from the album, T.I managed to sell this album using his reputation and popular feature names.
The incarcerated rapper's album has a extensive list of A-list features including Kanye West, Kid Cudi, Eminem, Trey Songz, Christina Aguliera and more.
The most popular single from this album is the Chris Brown assisted "Get Back Up", in it T.I attempts to uses humanity to inspire listeners to not give up. The slower tempo song does not have a chance of becoming a hit and will soon faze out of radio rotations.
Due to T.I's incarceration, we may see this album become an afterthought similar to Lil' Wayne's I'm Not A Human Being. He is not available to tour, make appearances on various talk shows and radio shows or album signings. This fact does not mean the album isn't worth purchasing.

Who is wearing purple and black these days?
The main issue in question is not the Ravens' toughness but their identity. What is this team's specialty?
Directing outrage toward the Ravens for their poor second half play is understandable but recognize that the Texans comeback on teams all the time. In the past, if the Ravens got ahead of a team, that was that. Ray Lewis and co. would feed of their momentum and keep their opponent from getting back into the game. Obviously that is no longer the case as the Ravens have ruined eight fourth quarter leads, including the one they had on the Houston Texans last night.
After the kick returner David Reed ran back the second half opening kickoff 103 yards into the end zone, the score was 28-7 favoring the Ravens.
From that point the offense went sterile and didn't produce anymore points, leaving the defense to tire out while chasing after one of the top offenses in the league. The passing game that was supposed to dissect one of the worse pass defenses in the league became
During a fourth quarter, first down run by Matt Schaub, an exhausted Jarret Johnson chased in pursuit but couldn't catch him. Not only did that play extend the drive but it revealed how tired the Ravens defense, front seven in particular, was.
Now that the game has been won, what do we think of the Ravens now? Are they a flimsy team that can jump ahead with a quick touchdown drive and seven point lead only to lose it? Are they an injured team playing without a few key unsung players? Are they a lucky team that finds a way to win some of their close games?
Whoever they are, they can hold their head high knowing they leave Houston with a 9-4 record and a good chance of making the playoffs as a Wildcard team.

Rushing through the Texans.
With a game against the Houston Texans offense that's capable of running the ball well but chooses to throw, what kind of game will Terrell Suggs have?
The Texans pass the ball very efficiently as they are currently ranked 10th in league averaging 242.5 passing yard a game and 7th in total offense. Quarterback Matt Schaub has done a good job of pushing the ball down the field without tossing frivolous interceptions.

Dr. Dre - Kush featuring Snoop Dogg and Akon
Dr. Dre has a different ghostwriter, nicer car and a more wrinkles on his face but has kept the formula for making his masterful beats about the same. In this video, he puts the scene on freeze similar to how the rap game has been for the past 11 years since the release of his last album, 2001.
Snoop Dogg and Akon play their usual roles as weed smoker and chorus man respectively. The beat makes this song so refreshing and worth listening to, which shouldn't be surprise since it's a Dr. Dre song.

Ravens and Steelers throw accusations along with fists.
Both teams of Sunday Night Football's slugfest are accusing their opponents of purposely trying to injure their teammates.
Two days ago, Ed Reed claimed in an interview that Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward attempted to deliver a few brutal hits to defenseless players on the Ravens defense. The statement was likely contemptuously driven by news that the league fined fellow teammates Haloti Ngata and Jameel McClain $15,000 and $40,000 respectively.
McClain gave tight end Heath Miller a concussion with a neck-wrenching hit on a play in which Miller never actually had the ball in his possession. Haloti Ngata came screaming through the offensive line to sack Ben Roethilisberger, breaking his nose in the process.
The Steelers believe Ravens guard Chris Chester tried to injure their linebacker James Harrison on a false start penalty against the Ravens that led to a scuffle between players of both teams.
All this publicized bickering between the two organizations proves the physical game we witnessed last Sunday ran deeper than just jerseys and pads. These men put their hearts and souls out on the field and this week their emotions are erupting in a volcanic fashion for the media to capture and broadcast.
However, both teams need to move past what occured five days ago. Baltimore, specifically, must travel to Houston to play the underachieving (5-7) Texans and could be unpleasantly shocked if distracted.
In Houston's two most recent losses to the Jets and Philadelphia (two of the league's better teams), the loss margins did not exceed 10 points.
