Please if your registered to vote, make sure you excercise your right.  Our predecessors have fought long and hard so that African-Americans and women could have the opportunity to cast a legit vote in the USA.  This election has been a tight race, and will impact our lives on many levels if we don’t vote, and if we don’t vote correctly!!  Let’s make the right choice!!  #VOTE #VOTE #VOTE

VIA Washington (CNN) — President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney are neck-and-neck in national polls, while Obama has an edge in crucial battleground states that will decide todays’s election.

The dynamic sets up a possible outcome that has happened rarely in American politics and could undermine the credibility of the victor — Romney beats Obama in the overall vote, but the president gets reelected by winning the decisive Electoral College.

It would be the fifth time in history that the candidate who got the most overall support didn’t win the election, and the first time that an incumbent president prevailed without capturing the popular vote.

Floyd Mayweather and his father have a notoriously icy relationship so its got to sting that 50 just hired Floyd Sr. dad to train his boxer Andre Dirrell.

Floyd Sr. tells The Examiner he has nothing to do with Floyd and 50’s beef,

“That’s 50 and Floyd and I’m Floyd Sr. I don’t know nothing about it.”

“Whatever happens I’m pretty sure we’re going to talk one day. He’s not pressed to talk to me. He got out of jail. I ain’t heard from him. I haven’t seen him. It’s on him. That’s my son, That’s the way he want to be fine! Because he could not have done none of this without me, it ain’t no nobody did it. His daddy did it. I been training my son since he was a baby. He won the National golden gloves when he was 16 years old.”

Meek Mill Addresses Hurricane Sandy’s Impact on His Album Release

Posted on by

Meek Mill was expecting a big rollout for his album, but Mother Nature had other plans. The “Amen” rapper is speaking out about Hurricane Sandy’s impact on his release week.

 Meek’s MMG debut Dreams and Nightmares was released to stores on Tuesday, a day after Sandy tore through the East Coast, leaving destruction in her path. Although he wanted to celebrate the long-awaited moment, his priorities quickly shifted.

“This storm has been crazy,” said the 25-year-old MC in a statement. “This is my first release, and I’m supposed to be so happy for it. But the same day my album came out, I was more worried about how my family was holding out and a tree falling on my house.”

The largest storm to hit the East Coast in almost a century shut down many stores in the Tri-State area, but Meek wasn’t concerned about the potential loss of sales. “My focus wasn’t on stores being closed,” explained the Philly native. “I had a packed house, filled with my family, making sure they were good during this storm.”

He knows his fans will go out and support the album when they’re able to. “I made a great album and it will sustain itself. Real people do real shit; my fans will buy the album when they are able to.”

Despite the grim circumstances, Dreams and Nightmares is expected to debut in the top 5 on next week’s charts with 170-200,000 copies sold based on preliminary estimates. The 14-track set includes the Drake-assisted single “Amen” and “Young & Gettin’ It” featuring Kirko Bangz, plus appearances from Rick Ross, Wale, Nas, Mary J. Blige, Trey Songz, and more.
