Waka Flocka: Get Me The F**K Off Atlantic!

Waka Flocka is the trap's MVP. He follows politics.

Waka Flocka Flame is a busy man. He's prepping up for the Flockaveli 2 album. But one thing that's delaying the release, Atlantic Records. He's been vocal about the label delaying his album release.

He's temped to buy out his contact.







He's released three mixtapes this year and is temped to release a EP called Flockaveli 1.5 for free on the social nets.

He even teased the stans with the single Blue or Red which was produced by his production team Metro Boomin' and Southside of the 808 Mafia.



Waka's really following the U.S. presidential elections. He's  shown interest in the campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Waka is very active in politics. Seeing that Trump is running for the president, Waka had thought about running for president too.

When the Republicans went through a month of searching for the next House Speaker, he thought it would be cool to be the Speaker of the House. They ended up choosing Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) for their speaker.

Waka also appeared on a local news agitator doing the weather. He was doing a charity concert for flood victims. A South Carolina news channel allowed the entertainer get a crack at the weather.

Earlier this year, MSNBC had Waka on to discuss the University of Oklahoma's fraternity shouting NIGGER in a musical chant.

Waka was beefing with Gucci Mane. Gucci was pissed that his mom, Miss Mizay took control over 1017 Brick Squad when the rapper got caught in a federal case. Gowop is serving a 3.5 year bid in federal time out in Terre Haute, Indiana. They recently just settled their feud.

Students Fight Racism At MIZZOU!

The MIZZOU Tigers football team threatened to boycott games. They backed the resignation of the University of Missouri's president after accusations of ineptness. The university is facing criticism over allegations of racism.

The University of Missouri had a massive protest this weekend. It involved allegations of racist activity on the campus and the staff isn't doing enough to stop it.

MIZZOU president Tim Wolfe was being called to resign.

Today, Wolfe resigned. The chancellor of MIZZOU also announced he's stepping down.

Wolfe faced pressure to resign because of how he's handled a number of issues -- most prominently, racial tensions on campus.

Over the weekend, more than 30 black players on the MIZZOU football team announced they would not practice or participate in any team activities until Wolfe resigned. Some graduate students and faculty staged a walkout on Monday, similarly pressing for Wolfe to step down. On Sunday, state lawmakers joined the calls.

The MIZZOU Tigers football team warned the president that if he doesn't exit stage right, they will forfeit games.

The controversy was brought to the junk food media's attention. The Black students had enough of the inept actions of the facility. The protests begin after a feces smeared Swastika was found on campus. The person who committed the act wasn't caught and it mounted no recommendations from the president to combat this.

The last major incident that happened at MIZZOU was covered back in 2010. Two students placed cotton balls around the Black Cultural Center. They were apprehended and charged with littering.

The students were upset that these two weren't charged with a hate crime.

Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) and Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) both issued statements condemning the allegations of racism on campus. They pledge to do whatever it takes to help MIZZOU through its turmoil.

MIZZOU even reached the White House. Press Secretary Josh Ernest praised the protesters for rallying together to demand fundamental changes at the university.

"I think this also illustrates something that the president talked a lot about in the context of - his campaign, that a few people speaking up and speaking out can have a profound impact on the communities where we live and work", said Ernest during this morning's briefing.

This stuff is happening over at Yale, Stanford and it's spreading.

Any thoughts on the developments in Columbia, MO?

The Curtain Closes On Michael Sam!

Michael Sam quits football. The curtain falls on the first openly gay football player. He can now say he's a washed up celebrity. 

I guess the fame has passed. The world was hoping for a miracle. Unfortunately, Michael Sam didn't offer that. His surprising admission that he is openly gay and he wanted to join the NFL gotten so much attention in 2013. 

The sports community was wondering if the league was ready to have an openly gay player.

It didn't happen. 

Michael Sam was the player of the year. He was the defensive back for the University of Missouri (MIZZOU) Tigers. He was drafted for the St. Louis Rams. He was picked 267 out of the 350 picks. He was quickly cut after he failed to maintain a successful catching records.  He won a ESPY award for his courage.

He would soon get a pick on the Dallas Cowboys reserve squad. It didn't last but less than seven months.

He would end up on reality television. The washed up celebrity show Dancing With The Stars had him on the recent season. He was cut in the fourth week after failing to match to other competitors.

Then apparently he ended up playing for the Canadian Football League. He was drafted for the Montreal Alouettes. He signed a two year contract with the team. But after few months on the team he gave it up for no apparent reason.

I am guessing he and his boyfriend are broken up as well. He was planning on marrying Vito Cammisano his longtime partner. 

Sam claims that he's giving up on football. He said that he's been treated for mental issues. 

Any thoughts on this?

Was Michael Sam the "great hype" or just a giant hype?

MIZZOU: 2 students arrested in cotton ball incident

Zachary Tucker, left, and Sean Fitzgerald were arrested Tuesday night on suspicion of second-degree tampering.

COLUMBIA — An anonymous tip led to the arrest Tuesday night of two MU students in connection with last Friday's scattering of cotton balls in front of the MU's Gaines/Oldham Black Culture Center.

Sean D. Fitzgerald, 19, and Zachary E. Tucker, 21, were arrested on suspicion of second-degree tampering. Police are pursuing the charge as a hate crime, making it a felony.

Statement by MU Chancellor Brady Deaton released Wednesday regarding the arrests:

Based on the information available to me, and in accordance with the University of Missouri’s Student Conduct Code (as outlined in the Collected Rules and Regulations, Chapter 200), I have determined it is in the best interest of the university community to temporarily suspend those students, Sean D. Fitzgerald and Zachary E. Tucker, who have been arrested for their alleged involvement in the incident that occurred on Feb. 26 at the front entrance of the Gaines/Oldham Black Culture Center, pending the outcome of the formal student conduct process. The Boone County Prosecutor will make a determination related to any criminal prosecution.

I commend MUPD Chief Jack Watring and his officers for their rapid and effective response during this difficult time. I also wish to thank the Legion of Black Collegians for the leadership they have demonstrated and to all those who attended and spoke out at LBC’s town hall meeting. My colleagues and I in the MU administration have listened carefully to all that was expressed and join all of you as we work together in support of our Mizzou family.
