    Dr Dre’s “The Chronic” Inducted To Library Of Congress

    Dr. Dre’s Classic First Solo Album “The Chronic” just received a very high honor.

    The national recording registry made the announcement Wednesday that the album was among this year’s group of music  ” worthy of preservation.”

    The librarian of Congress described induction into the National Recording Registry as a representation of the evolving American soundscape. She emphasized the registry’s role in capturing historical moments through voices and sounds. This year, they received over 800 nominations for culturally significant recordings. The Library of Congress remains dedicated to preserving the diverse sounds that have influenced our culture.

    Joining  The Chronic are some other big-name artist and their musical contributions.

    Whitney Houston’s “I will always love you single,” Tina Turner’s ” Private Dancer album, and Selena’s “Ven Conmigo album” are some of the other honorees.

    Dr. Dre has had a very successful career spanning almost four decades and continues to contribute to hip-hop. Even more, the mogul was announced as the top-earning musician of the decade. What makes this is special is the fact Dre hasn’t put out a solo album since 2001.

    Tokyo 2020 Olympics Postponed Until 2021

    Tokyo 2020 Olympics Postponed Until 2021

    Tokyo 2020 Olympics Postponed as Coronavirus Spreads Due to the global pandemic caused by the coronavirus, various aspects of daily life have been affected, including schools and major sports events. Joining this list is the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, which has been postponed.

    Japan’s Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, and the President of the International Olympics Committee (IOC), Thomas Bach, held meetings and decided to postpone the Olympics. The risk of hosting such a large international event in the current situation is significant, as it could contribute to the rapid spread of the disease.

    Tokyo 2020 Olympics Postponed-1

    It is now expected that the 2020 Tokyo Olympics will take place in 2021. Although a specific date has not been set, the aim is to hold the Olympics no later than the end of the following summer.

    This decision is a wise one, considering that countries like Canada and Australia had already expressed their intention not to participate in this year’s Olympics if they were not postponed. After consulting the athletes, the IOC determined that postponement was necessary for the safety of everyone involved, even though the athletes may not have been enthusiastic about the change.

    Final Thoughts

    It is unfortunate to see a major event like the Olympics postponed. But it would have been quite hazardous to have a gathering with people from all over the world. This could have had the potential to spread the virus significantly. Hopefully, though, things will have calmed down by this time next year, and everyone can get back to enjoying sports of all kinds.

    What do you guys think though?

    Were you surprised to hear that the 2020 Tokyo Olympics had been postponed, or was this something that you saw coming? Do you agree with Japan and the IOC’s decision to move the Olympics? And when do you expect the games to return?

    Joel Embiid Donates $500K To COVID-19 Relief Efforts

    Embiid’s charitable ways changes the mind of 76ers’ owner.

    The Process is giving his support to people in need during these troubling times. The Philadelphia 76ers’ All-Star center Joel Embiid, is donating $500K to COVID-19 medical relief efforts and to employees of the Sixers’ organization.

    https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js

    On Monday, NBC Sports reported that Philadelphia 76ers’ and New Jersey Devils’ employees were asked to take a 20% pay cut due to coronavirus prevention regulations. Sixers and Devils CEO Scott O’Neil released a statement regarding the pay cut on Monday:

    “As we navigate this evolving COVID-19 environment, we are mindful of the long-term impact the suspension of live events and games will have on our organization and industry. To ensure we can continue to support and operate our businesses during these uncertain times without reducing our workforce, we are asking our full-time, salaried employees to temporarily reduce their pay by up to 20 percent and move to a four-day week. In addition to supporting our people, we are committed to playing an ongoing role in funding efforts to help the most impacted residents in our home cities. In the coming days, we will enter into additional partnerships in Philadelphia, Camden and Newark to assist our neighbors with food and resource distribution during this public health crisis.”

    Charitable Acts Cause Change Of Heart

    After news broke that the Embiid was supporting Sixers’ employees, the team owner had a change of heart. Owner of the Philadelphia 76ers’ and New Jersey Devils, Josh Harris, retracts the decision to cut the pay of the organizations’ employees. The Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment company released this statement on March 24.2020.

    https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js

    Joel Embiid went to Twitter to give his input on the owner’s decision to reverse their irresponsible decision.

    Final Thoughts

    Joel Embiid showed us how we should react in troubling times like we face today. We should be trying to find ways to support others instead of fending for our own gain. Donating money is one way to help stop the coronavirus, but not everyone is financially capable. The best way to truly stop this outbreak is to stay home and away from other people. Prevent spreading the virus and hopefully it will soon pass over.

    What are your thoughts on the charitable acts of Joel Embiid?

    Boosie Told To Stop Live steaming “Porn”

    Boosie Badazz’s Got a DM From Instagram after he Live streamed “Porn.”

    Boosie is just one of many celebrities who have been trying to provide entertainment during this “coronavirus” quarratine. However, as Boosie does, he kept it a little too real by streaming naked women during his live session.

    The rapper has been very active on social media while the entire world practices social distancing. Over the weekend, Boosie went live on what he dubbed “quarratine titty day.” Fans were encouraged to show the man some boobs, but things didn’t go as planned at first.

    One fan got on the live and was laying in her bed, Boosie says “it quarratine titty day” trying to get the woman to show her breast. Almost immediately after making his statement, you can hear a child’s voice say “hi,” and the camera cuts to a little girl lying in bed with the woman.

    #boosie be wylin 😂😂

    A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akadmiks) on

    Boosie abruptly hangs up with the woman and starts ranting,  yelling, “oh no f**kig kids,” he continues, “I’m trying to see some titties, and all I see is kids teeth.”

    That wasn’t the Louisiana rappers only strikeout in his attempt to see some titties. Another woman got on the live from what appeared to be a grocery store. The woman is wearing a mask, and after Boosie makes his request for some reason, the fan starts doing the Stanky leg.

    Nawww boosie a different breed 😂😂😂 via @theshaderoom

    A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akadmiks) on

    In true Boosie Badazz fashion, the rapper says, ” I don’t wanna see your knees, ole fat ass knees” and hangs up on the dancing lady.

    Eventually, though, the rapper found some women who were willing to participate and show their breast—prompting Instagram to slide in Boosie DM’s and let him know that his behavior was unacceptable.

    Of course, Boosie had a reply and went on Live again to let the world know.

    As the quarantine continues, you can be sure this isn’t the last we heard from Badazz. Besides, you can pass the time by checking out artists like D-nice for more family-friendly entertainment.

    What do you guys think about Boosie Badazz’s  Instagram live confrontation? Was the social media platform right for checking his behavior? Or should the rapper get a pass because he may be stir crazy from being on quarantine?

We are now at the point where the government wants everyone to stay indoors to help prevent further spread of the virus has encouraged people not to go outside. Now Pokemon can pop up almost anywhere the actual issues are obtaining poke balls. To get a poke ball in Pokemon go. You have to travel to a poke stop, spin it, and hope to collect poke balls.

    Harvey Weinstein tests positive for coronavirus

    It’s reported that the disgraced movie mogul, Harvey Weinstein, is now dealing with more than than just legal battles. Just less than two weeks since 68-year-old Weinstein’s conviction of sexual assault and rape, he’s now facing additional health concerns.

    As of yesterday morning, officials of the New York State Correctional Officers and Police Benevolent Association (NYSCOPBA) have reported that Weinstein has tested positive for the coronavirus. The Niagara Gazette was the first to report the news following speculation.

    Last Wednesday, Weinstein was transferred to Wende Correctional Facility from Rikers Island, where he will be serving his 23-year-sentence. It’s unclear how he obtained the virus, whether at Rikers or Wende.

    Before Weinstein’s conviction, he was admitted to New York City’s Bellevue hospital on two occasions for high blood pressure and chest pains.

    However, Officials have stated that they believe he was ill with the deadly virus before his transfer last week.

    Also, Michael Powers, President of the NYSCOPBA, said he learned of the diagnosis Sunday morning. Powers said he is concerned with the safety of correctional officers, and several staff are now quarantined. Weinstein is now serving his stay at the facility in isolation until more details develop.

    Since the news, two other prisoners have reportedly tested positive for the coronavirus. Wende Correctional Facility is a maximum-security prison that holds the capacity of 961 inmates. Close quarters is breeding ground for COVID-19. With the nation on lockdown, no official statements have been made on how the prison will handle the disease.

    The news of Weinstein’s diagnosis comes in the wake of several other celebrities and public figures testing positive for the coronavirus. If they can get it, you can too! Furthermore, wash your hands and keep your distance! Stay safe out there.
