Akron's Lebron James returning home?

As the result of the 2014 finals still loom in the minds of the Miami Heat fans, one major question remains in the balance this off season and the coming weeks: What will happen to Miami's Big Three? Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, and the superstar of all NBA superstar's, Lebron James, will make one of the biggest decisions of their sports careers. Anchoring this discussion is what and where will Lebron James choose to call his home next season. Will he remain in Miami and attempt to live up to his declaration of not 1, not, 2... well you get the point, or will he seek to finish his legacy elsewhere.

While the sports world waits on these decisions a simple instagram photo and its caption has caused quite a stir in an otherwise uneventful week of basketball news. Lebron's wife, Savannah James, posted a photo of the map of Ohio with the caption, "Home Sweet home!! The countdown is real! #330"

What could this caption mean? Is there a chance that Lebron could return his talents back to Cleveland. If anybody would know what decision Lebron is sure to make this offseason it would be his wife, right? Or possibly, just possibly, the media and everyone else (including myself) is reaching. In the meantime all we can do is wait and see.

HOW DOES SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN!

So earlier this week South Africa took a major "L"!
During Nelson Mandela's public tribute and ceremony earlier this week, a man believed to be an interpreter for the deaf, fooled thousands in attendance and around the world as watching from their television. A random man somehow got himself on stage, as many different politicians and close relatives to Nelson Mandela spoke, and pretended to interpret the different speakers words through fake sign language.

At one point during the airing a mini video playing on the side of the screen showed a legitimate interpreter properly signing during the speakers. As it has still not been determined how this random man managed to get past various security at this event, this writer can't help but wonder, "How funny is this going to be in this weeks episode of Saturday Night Live?" All that being said it's extremely disrespectful to the memory of Nelson Mandela as well as to deaf persons around the world.

All that being said here's the ridiculous video of the fake interpreter during the service.

Childish Gambino - Because The Internet Mixtape (Achmone's Review)

Childish Gambino formally known as Donald Glover appears to shed his Hollywood image with the debut of his second released studio album Because The Internet. I'm fresh off of the record and overall I have a mixed reaction. Usually if I don't favor an album entirely on the first run through (like Kanye West's Yeezus album) I'd give it another listen before giving my review. However, on Gambino's latest record I found myself forcing my ears to listen to the very end. The album starts with a solid record assisted by some distorted sounds and heavy percussion on the track 'Crawl' then the album begins to jump around into different styles. The following song "Worldstar" samples audio clips from the popular vlog site of the same name, which is infamous for offering its viewers user uploaded fights recorded on smartphones in the form of entertainment, that includes a heavy 808 assisted beat, but then fades out to the sounds of a trumpet. Although the album has some really good songs like, "Pink Toes ft. Jhene Aiko" & "Life: the Biggest Troll", it also has too many songs featuring Childish Gambino's unpleasant singing voice and lacks synchronization throughout the album. In other words

Though it is apparent that Childish Gambino is growing as an artist and exploring various genres. I would not recommend that he try all of those various styles in one LP. Although the production value of this album was not great throughout it does have it's moments like on the "Crawl" record previously mentions (plus Childish produced most of the album so he has to get some credit for that).

Overall, Because the Internet picks up where R.O.Y.A.L.T.Y. left off, but mid-way through flat-lines. To put it plan, Gambino tried a little too hard to make a piece of art rather than a cohesive piece of good music. I still respect the man for trying and I do believe that he is becoming his own artist but he's just not there yet. Gambino is still looking for his sound. All in all good second effort, but not good enough for heavy rotation.

Subject Matter: 2
Lyrics: 2
Flow: 4
Production: 2

Overall: 2.5/5 Mics. They can't all be winners.

A Global Icon Goes on to Glory

Rest in peace to a man who inspired a nation to fight for their civil liberties and led a revolution. He is known globally by these names:

Rolihlahla- Mandela's name given at birth (means troublemaker or one who pulls the branch)
Madiba- The name of Mandela's clan.
Tata- South African term meaning father and a word used by all South African admires of Mandela despite there age when referring to Mandela.
Khulu- "Great, Paramount, Grand"
Dalibhunga- Name given to Mandela after his rite of passage into manhood at age 16 (means creator or founder of the council)

However, he is most recognized and respected as NELSON MANDELA!

You're Cordially Invited to the "Lebron James & Tiago Splitter BlOCK PARTY!"

Sunday night was not the best game that superstar Lebron James has ever played. It wasn't full of record breaking stats or packed  with phenomenal plays that we used to see on our NBA Jams video games about ten gaming systems ago, but it's definitely one of those plays that we'll be talking about for years to come and reflection years after Lebron has left the game.

This is one of those Legacy defining plays. Courtesy of the NBA.
Check it out.
Holla!
