Over the past couple of weeks a lot of different things have come up in the news from issues with North Korea to Rick Ross losing his damn mind and rapping about drugging women and having sex with them.

Men’s Fashions That Turn Women Off
Fellas/Gents if you will, we’ve all been there. We at one time or another have worn stuff that may have cost us a chance at a female. I’m sure we were even offenders with the fashion police, or we had our own “wanted” posters up. Ladies this is for you.

WTF am I Listening to? 10 Dumbest Rap Songs Ever Made
Now, I’m sure many of you over the years have heard good music, music that was aiight, and songs that were, “Serious, he was really paid to make that”? Rap music has changed almost dramatically over the years as lyrics, content, and message have been replaced by buffoonery, nonsense, and silliness. Although some do have catchy hooks and beats, still you wonder, “what…is…this”?? Some artists as a whole have made a career out of solid tracks but have had a hiccup or two along the way.
