Ordained Review
If you dont have a open mind you will like Ordained. But if you do have a open mind you'll love it. This tape is very different from a lot of music thats out there. But the track i cant stop playing 360 Degrees. Its a great track with a lay back feel. I give Ordained 8 out of 10 so go ahead and bump it threw the subs.

The Air Jordan 5 “Olympic” Is Going For Gold
Jordan Brand ditches the traditional Olympic look.
Fans of gold sneakers are in luck, because Jordan Brand has designed a version of the Air Jordan 5 prominently featuring metallic gold on the tongue. The Air Jordan 5 hasn’t been getting too much love in 2016, so it’s good to see at least one pair is on the way this year.
Officially called the Air Jordan 5 Retro “Olympic,” Jordan Brand differentiates this Olympic sneaker from its many others by staying monochromatic. No traces of blue or red appear, as the upper is predominantly white with a black midsole. The tongue is a a metallic gold, with gold also appearing as an accent on the midsole. Despite disappearing from a few future retros, the blue icy sole is still present on this Air Jordan 5.
The release date for the Air Jordan 5 “Olympic” is set for August 13, and will retail for $190. What’s your take on these?

Prince Had Wanted To Be A Mentor For Chris Brown
An unearthed interview from last year reveals that Prince had tried to reach out out to Chris Brown.
In late 2014, Rolling Stone held an in-depth interview with Prince at his Paisley Park estate that had never seen the light of day until now. In the wake of Prince's shocking death last month, that interview has inspired Rolling Stone to publish a "lost cover story" on the late musical icon.
At the time, Prince affirmed that he was celibate and that he often went extended periods of time without food or water (seemingly more extreme than the current lifestyle of Young Thug). He also revealed that he had reached out to be a mentor to Chris Brown.
Prince brought up Brown after being asked to comment on the death of Michael Jackson. "I don't want to talk about it," Prince had initially responded. "I'm too close to it," he said, before relating Jackson's downfall to that of other star musicians:
"He is just one of many who have gone through that door -- Amy Winehouse and folks. We're all connected, right, we're all brothers and sisters, and the minute we lock that in, we wouldn't let anybody in our family fall. That's why I called Chris Brown. All of us need to be able to reach out and just fix stuff. There's nothing that's unforgivable."
Brown's infamous assault of then-girlfriend Rihanna transpired in March 2009, less than four months before Jackson's death. Of course, Brown has had his own struggles since the damning assault case, and Prince never specifically mentioned why he chose to reach out to the R&B singer
Kanye West Makes Statement By Wearing Colored Eye Contacts At 2016 Met Gala
Kanye West made quite the statement Monday night by wearing colored contacts at the biggest fashion event of the year.
As you might saw on our twitter last night, the biggest fashion event of the year was held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City last night for the 2016 Met Gala, and boy were the stars in attendance. From your favorite athletes to artists, the event was represented well by the hip-hop & urban culture, with Beyonce, Future, Nas, Wiz Khalifa, Nicki Minaj, The Weeknd, Ciara, and Kanye West among many others all stepping on the red carpet.
This year’s theme of the event was “Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology,” which saw every person in attendance showing off their ridiculously priced designer outfits & personal styles. However, the one who arguably made the biggest splash of the night was ironically dressed the simplest, and that being Kanye West, who caught everyone’s attention with ripped jeans & colored contacts.
Rocking his favorite designer BALMAIN, Kanye tossed on a bedazzled jacket, a pair of ripped jeans, and threw in what looks to be blue contacts in his eyes, making a statement that when he was asked about the contacts on the red carpet, he simply replied "Vibes" in true Kanye fashion.
50 Cent Faces Backlash After Making Fun Of Teen With Disorder
50 Cent is in some hot water after making fun of a disabled teen at the airport.
It appears 50 Cent in some hot water at the moment after he made fun of a disabled employee at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport this past weekend. In a now deleted IG post, 50 was at CVG airport to promote his Effen vodka when he ran into 19-year-old Andrew Farrell, and started to harass him for the way he looked. Fif can be heard saying in the Youtube clip (below),
"What kind of shit you think he took before he got to work today? He high as a motherfucker right here in the airport," 50 says. "Pupils dilated and everything, looking like... the new generation is fucking crazy."
Well it turns out the kid has dealt with social anxiety his whole life, and in an interview with Local 12 Cincinnati, Andrew's stepfather, Ken, called out 50 Cent for his actions that day. "It hurts to watch that, it's painful. You come up and you start talking to a kid you know nothing about. That's not fair. That's a slap in the face," he said. "Here's a guy who people look up to, and he's going to act like that?"
While many students and fans have bashed the G-Unit leader, including one of Andrew’s fellow classmates (see below), Andrew’s parents have also asked for a public apology, which has yet to come, but I'm sure will.
I think this is just a coincidental case that Fif would’ve honestly avoided if he had known what we now know. But nonetheless it happened, and an apology should be necessary

OVO Releases Full Credits To Drake's "VIEWS"
OVO releases the "VIEWS" digital booklet, including the album's full credits.
Drake revealed the featureless VIEWS tracklist last Wednesday (Apr. 27). In the early evening before he ended up releasing the album on Apple Music while he was on the air for a rescheduled episode of OVO Sound Radio, Drake announced most of the VIEWS features by using memes inspired by his own album artwork. He soon shared a fairly extensive production list, which was later added to by Noah "40" Shebib. OVO has now released the entire list of VIEWS credits, listing the names of everyone involved in the recording of Drake's fourth studio album.
The liner notes are placed carefully across various images of Drake and friends in front of curated Toronto scenes, as part of a slideshow on the OVO blog with a similar layout to a digital booklet. On the first page after the cover art, Drake dedicates the album to Megan Flores, a young girl currently undergoing cancer treatment, whom Drake visited with Rihanna in March while in Miami for an "Anti" tour date:
"This body of work is dedicated to Megan Flores. I pray for your well being every day."
Digging into the full writing credits, there's not a whole lot of revelatory information, but there are a few names in there worth noting. OVO/Reps Up affiliate Baka Not Nice is given a vocal credit for "Hype," as is Irish singer James Vincent McMorrow. Jeremih has background vocals on "With You," the breezy R&B collab featuring PartyNextDoor. On the standout "Still Here," D. Carter is given a writing credit -- did Dwayne Carter, aka Lil Wayne, help Drizzy with some of those bars?
