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Now and days hip hop has been replaced by rap.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.

The Celtics Rally Back on The Knicks to Snag a Win
The Knicks put up 51 points in the first half. Only to be followed by a embarrassing 35 point second half which was why they lost 96-86 against the Celtics last night. New York seemed to be in control until the 4th quarter started where the team just went cold.
Carmelo Anthony was seven of ten from the field at one point, but ended up missing his last seven shots. Melo finished with 22 points and five rebounds. Ronnie Turiaf gave the Knicks a boost as he started the game, but the team as a whole just could not close out the game when it mattered most.
Kevin Garnett led the Celtics with 24 points and 11 rebounds. Paul Pierce also had a nice outing putting up 21 points and six rebounds. This is the third time the Celtics have beaten the Knicks this year and chances are they will probably win the last match up considering it is at Boston.
The Knicks continue to struggle post Carmelo trade as they are 7-9 since the trade. It looks like the Knicks will be limping into the playoffs and I do not seem them doing much damage unless they learn how to play in the fourth quarter.

Knicks Play Down to Competition; Can They Make Noise in the Playoffs?
The Knicks have been struggling against sorry teams, teams with a winning percentage under .500. Since acquiring Carmelo Anthony, the Knicks have lost to the Pacers and Cavaliers twice, and the Bucks, Pistons once. However the Knicks are doing about .500 against teams with winning records as they have beat the Heat, Grizzles twice, Jazz, and the Hawks.
Besides the obvious problem with the Knicks, lack of defense, the other major problem I see is lack of consistency. Amar'e Stoudemire and Melo need to get the troops together and stress the importance of every game from here on out. It seems the team plays when it wants to, against good teams, and takes some nights off against sorry teams.
The Knicks need to learn how to keep their energy level and effort level high regardless of the opponent, as they will not be a threat in the playoffs. With this streaky play, Someone needs to step up, Chauncey Billups maybe, and get the team going hard like Landry Fields does every night. Being undersized, there is not enough scrappy play by the Knicks to give them a chance in the playoffs.

Florida State Handles Notre Dame as They Advance to the Sweet 16
10th seed Florida State is not known for being a strong offensive team, however seven three-pointers in the first half was enough to help them beat the number two seed, the fighting Irish. The Seminoles gave Notre Dame an old-fashioned beatdown as the Seminole defense was too much resulting in a 71-57 final.
Four players finished in double figures, which is usually a good sign of ball movement, led by Benard James as he put up 14 points, 10 rebounds, and had three block shots. This blowout win came with Florida State's star player, Chris Singleton, only playing ten minutes and scoring no points.
This is the first time the Seminoles have made it to the sweet 16 since 1993. A big thanks has to go to the Coach Lenoard Hamliton and his commitment to Defense as the Noles held Notre Dame to 31.7 percent shooting from the field.
Some would say Florida State has an easy matchup against VCU in the sweet 16. However, I would not overlook them because they have been playing with a huge chip on their shoulders after many experts said they should not even be in the tournament. This should be a good one, as never have a 10 and 11 seed met in the Sweet 16.

Miguel Cabrera tries to Sober up as The Season comes near
Detriot Tigers slugger faces a DUI charge off the field, and prepares for the new season on the field. His eight year 153 million dollar contract shows the amount of faith the organization put into his one bat. Coach Jim Leyland says despite Cabrera's incident, Leyland believes he will have a great year.
And there is no reason to think Cabrera would have a bad year. The Venezuelan slugger is a stud. His 38 homeruns and 126 RBI's along with a .328 BA in 2010 were all top 3 in the triple crown categories in the AL. If a drinking Carbrera could post up these type numbers imagine him sober.
Reports in FT. Pierce, FL on his DUI charge said he was not cooperating with the officer and smelled of alcohol and spoke with a slur. According to the officers, he took a swig of Scotch right in front of them like Adam Sandler did as Paul Crew in The Longest Yard. I think that part of the story was hilarious and he is still able to go to work and make millions.
