Tech N9ne is a underground American rapper from Kansas City, Missouri, or as he would say KC MO. The electrifying stage rapper with performances similar to a rock show filled with energy, is on the verge of releasing the most higly anticipated album of his 20 plus year career, All 6's and 7's.
Tech has a huge fan base throughout the world due to his excessive touring, 200 shows a year, and as he would say shaking hands and kissing babies. This underground artist has recieved no help from the industry as he is all about his independent dollars having his own record label Strange Music. However, mainstream artist like Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes, B.O.B., and T-Pain are showing Tech some love in being apart of All 6's of 7's. Other features on the album are Twista, Yela Wolf, and Strange Music regulars like Irv Da Phenom, Krizz Kaliko, and Kutt Calhoun.
Tech N9ne is so muiscly gifted with the way he makes his flows resembles a beat in the song. He is definitely beyond his time with his fast rhymes and complexity. I think this album will show a lot of mainstream music listeners who Tech N9ne is and have no option but to show respect for the Kansas City king.
Tech has promised his fans this album for a long time and is due to come out on June 7 which ironically when written in numeral form is 6/7. The first song to leak off the album is called F.A.N.S., which is an acronym for forever accepting nines soul. The song is dedicated to his fans and shows his love for his supporters. The album will be a classic and cannot await its arrival. Click on F.A.N.S. to check out the track.

Will The Knicks Make Noise in The Playoffs?
With the NBA playoffs right around the corner, now is the time when teams want to start getting on a roll to help build confidence before the playoffs. the Knicks big trade for Carmelo Anthony during the all-star break appeared to have some negatives. However, with the playoffs around the corners, Knick nation is getting to see all the positives.
The Knicks led by Melo are on a seven game winning streak, tied for highest in the NBA with the Bulls who they play Tuesday, all of this minus Amar'e Stoudemire who has a bad ankle but may play Tuesday, according to the Knick coaching staff.
With all this momentum going into the playoffs, can the Knicks win a series or two and make some noise? Amar'e will be back before the playoffs so i do not believe they need to worry about his status.Melo is showing the Knicks along with Chauncey Billups, what they can bring to the team in this years playoffs. Billups is a deadly shooter and one of the best free throw shooters in the game,which is imperative to have in the playoffs. As for Melo, he is showing off to his fellow New Yorkers that he is clutch, being the player with the most game winning shots under 10 seconds since 2003 with 16. That means he has more than Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, and Ray Allen.
Now although we have defensive issues, Melo has stepped it up late on the Defensive side of the ball. After nailing a game winning shot against the Pacers last night, Melo also blocks Danny Granger's last second shot to end the game.
I think the Knicks can make a run deep into the playoffs because they can score lights out. Being one of the best scoring teams in the league, you put pressure on the opponent of not having a bad night offensively. If the Knicks played the Heat or Celtics and they had a bad night or two shooting we can easily take a couple of games and build enough confidence to take the series. The Knicks will need to play Defense, especially in late game situations, to put away close games.
The small rotation Mike D'Antoni likes to play I think will give a lot of teams tough defensive assignments come playoff time. He puts Amar'e at center with Melo and Landry Fields as the forwards, and Tony Douglas and Billups as the guards. It gives us more opportunity to run with two point guards on the floor, and gives Melo the speed advantage being defended by power forwards. Although I feel a title is not likely this year, they can definitely win a playoff series or two.

Butler lost because they could not score
Butler lost their second straight national championship game, this one to Connecticut 53-41. Butler Defense was solid, but they could not make a shot if their lives depended on it.
Butler shot 12 for 64 from the field a staggering low 18.8 percent, which is the worst in any title game. They only had two points in the point. If you have basically no points in the paint and are shooting 18.8 percent, there is no way you can win. I say the fact that they only lost by 12 speaks volumes to the Butler Defense that did a good job.
It must be difficult for the Bulldogs to have their worst shooting night in the most important game of the season. Foward Matt Howard shot one of 13 from the floor, and other Butler star Shelvin Mack struggled as well shooting four of 11. Only Mack had more then 10 points for the Bulldogs finishing with 13.
You cannot plan when the ball is not going in the hoop. You have to be confident and keep playing hard, which Butler did. However, sometimes it is just not your day and for Butler this was the case in the biggest game of the year.

Better Year: The Red Sox or The Yankees?
With the first weekend of Major League Baseball in the books, the Red Sox were swept by the AL champion Rangers, and the Yankees took 2 of 3 against the Tigers. The season is 162 games long, so I would not look into the first weekend too deep, but there are definitely signs that tell me that Boston will be left out of the playoffs, again.
Watching the Ranger series, the Red Sox have major pitching issues. Everyone talked about the Yankees not getting Cliff Lee in the off season saying how weak the Yankee pitching staff is, but is the Red Sox who have more pitching issues then the Yankees. The Red Sox pitching has allowed 11 home runs in the first three games. Imagine what the Yankee line up could put up in a three game series against Boston? The bullpen is horrendous and did not get anything done the past series. Maybe its just the first week and they need to warm up, but the bullpen will not improve unless the Sox make multiple mid season trades.
Although the Yankees will have some pitching issues, they have a lineup that has been putting up good numbers. Imagine the year Mark Texeria could have with a good April and May. He is known for bad starts, but this year he already has three home runs and seven RBIs in four games.
They also have this guy that's a closer, Oh yeah Mariano Rivera, also known as the sandman, he is pretty good.
The main reason I feel the Yankees will have a better year then the Red Sox is the shaky play of Josh Beckett and Dice-K last year. Beckett is coming off injuries and his ERA last year was a career high 5.69. With both these pitchers, I feel every game will be like rolling dice, one day you may get a one or two run outing, and other days your going to get a five or six-run disaster.
And personally, the additions of Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzales are good moves for the Sox. However, the Yankees already have Curtis Granderson and Texeria to match up to them, so my question is who match ups to Alex Rodriguez and Robinson Cano on the Red Sox? No one.

They Reminisce Over You
They Reminisce Over You is a Hip Hop classic to the fullest extent from Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth. Being a Hip Hop head, I can say this song is one that anyone can listen to and just fall in love with the jazzy beat and soulful feel that is giving through the lyrics of C.L. Smooth.
Pete Rock is without a doubt one of the best producers to ever produce. The funky feel he puts into the track just enhances the smooth flow and voice of C.L. Smooth. I feel this song is a top 10 hip hop song of all time. The song was featured on the popular PS2 game, NBA Street Vol. 2.
Now and days hip hop has been replaced by rap. Rap is all about money, women, jewelery, cars, and any other materialistic items you can think of. The message this song carries helps uplift the listeners spirit especially when you relate to C.L.'s lyrics, which most should. I'm not giving away the message because I want you readers to listen to the song and enjoy the moment that song has given me day in and day out. The video also helps the listener envision his words and get a better feel for the message as images paint the scene of his words. Heres the link, check it out: They Reminisce Over You

My Love For Chicken!
I am a very picky eater and get heat for it all the time. I do not eat vegetables, most red meat including steak, or anything healthy like salads. Fruit is as healthy as I'm getting when it comes to eating. However, chicken should be my middle name because I got a lot in me.
There are so many different forms of chicken to eat its wonderful. Chicken fingers, nuggets, whole chicken, fried or grilled, chicken wings, chicken wraps, I could go on forever. Chicken is something I enjoy on a daily basis and my passion for chicken is deep.
My favorite chicken dish though, this decision is very close and hard to make, is the small pieces of chicken one would get if you go to a Spanish restaurant. In Spanish it is called chicaron de pollo, which means little chicken. Talk about flavor. when its fresh out the fryer and mixed with seasoning, the sizziling chicken explodes in your mouth as you chew on it only to be splashed with more flavor from within the chicken. Mix it with some yellow or white rice and you got yourself a date with destiny.
The one thing I cannot stand when im eating chicken is when it is not cooked right. now I know how to cook chicken and usually perfer cooking my chicken, but there are instances when someone else cooks it and my expectations are not met. No one likes raw chicken with a lot red and chicken that is not seasoned properly. Sorry if I made you hungry, I know I am!

VCU Runs over Number three seed Purdue and is Sweet 16 Bound
The 11th seed VCU has been running teams over in the tournament ever since skeptics have been questioning their invitation to the tournament. Things were no different against Big Ten's Purdue as they crushed them 94-76.
Virginia Commonwealth was led by Bradford Burgess as he put up 23 points and eight rebounds and a block shot. The depth of the Rams was too much for the Boilermakers to handle as they were in control throughout the whole game.
Joey Rodriguez help out the Rams as well putting up 12 points along with 11 assists and most importantly no turnovers. The Rams shot about 57 percent from the field which was enough offense to hold off Big Ten Player of the Year in JaJuan Johnson.
Johnson still had a nice outing in his final collegiate game putting up 25 points and 14 rebounds. Up next for the VCU Rams is the 10th seed Florida State Seminoles. Both teams upsetting their other opponents, so which one of these low seeds will be in the elite eight? Tune in Friday night at 10:00 pm on TBS to find out who advances.
