Derek Jeter to receive honorary doctorate from Siena College (News)

READ HERE: http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/yankees/2012/04/derek-jeter-to-receive-honorary-doctorate-from-siena-college

As a life long Yankees fan, and a student at Siena College, this is really cool. You can read about this in the link above.

Coachella 2012 (Videos)

WATCH HERE: http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/snoop-dogg-dr-dre-andamp-tupac-hologram-the-weeknd-frank-ocean-andamp-santigold-perform-at-coachella-2012-news.1792.html

OK, I'm sure you all know the main reason why I'm posting this. For Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's set. But, while most people only focused on (hologram) 2Pac's appearance, I actually saw the whole concert online and it was amazing as a whole, and better than most concerts I've seen in person. They performed all of their classics, guests Wiz Khalifa, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem and 50 Cent all killed it as well and there was a dope tribute to Nate Dogg as well. All in all, it's amazing, so don't just see 2Pac's part; you'll be missing out on a hell of a show.

Oh yeah, and there are other sets in the link as well, so if you want to see those too you can.

Blizzy Don - Hello, Goodbye (Mixtape)

DOWNLOAD LINK: http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/official-blizzy-don-hello-goodbye-mixtape.49515.html

Check out the latest mixtape from my homie Blizzy Don, it's called Hello, Goodbye! This is the latest of a substantial amount of mixtapes he's released. He's one of my favorite rappers that I know, and the two of us have a couple projects we are planning on dropping this summer! No details will be revealed on this post, just know they'll be epic so be on the lookout!

Features on the tape include Uncle Sterlz, Savage Slim and Benny Blanko, with Nales, among others, on a couple of beats.

Check it out!!

J-Pegs - The Blue Album (Free Album)

DOWNLOAD LINK: http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/j-pegs-the-blue-album-mixtape.34811.html

Check out my free album I released back in November of 2011! I call it a "free album" instead of just a "mixtape" because a lot of thought went into the process of recording this project, and it's way more coherent than a mixtape. Plus, it's all original beats, which was a first for me at the time. Guest appearances include Kid Retro, Wonton and Uncle Sterlz, while beats come from MPir3, General Beatz, Blue Jones, Jee Juh, Slim.H, and more!

Check it out!!!!

J-Pegs - The Mad Rapper (prod. by DJ Azzey) (Mixtape)

DOWNLOAD LINK: http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/j-pegs-the-mad-rapper-mixtape.49477.html

Check out this mixtape I released about a month ago, it's a collaboration between me and a producer from India named DJ Azzey who made all the beats... the result is a tape that doesn't sound like the average mixtapes you hear every day. Guest appearances include Taariq Abdus Salaam, Uncle Sterlz, Blizzy Don, Mr. R.A.G.E. and OneM1nd.

You Gotta Watch This! Game of Thrones Edition

This is a segment on my blog I like to call You Gotta Watch This! It showcases TV shows I'm feeling at the moment, and since there's a new episode on tonight, what better way to kick off the segment than the HBO phenomenon that is Game of Thrones?

What can be said about this show that hasn't already been said? The storyline is intriguing and unpredictable, the characters are unique, though they may die without warning (not saying who, no spoilers!) and the acting is done to a degree of believability worthy of the big screen. Thankfully, it's not up there because this show, based off the series of novels of the same name, has far too many details to cut it down from a season of episodes each an hour long into a movie that would be about two hours total. This isn't a run-of-the-mill fantasy show, either, where very few can understand. There may be a lot going on, but the pace by which everything happens is just so that it can be followed quite easily, leaving the viewers on the edge of their seats, and probably the reason why it's HBO's biggest show since The Sopranos.

Bottom line, the show is gripping, it's unpredictable, and that's what makes the show so good. If you've never seen it, the trailer to the first season is above, and bottom line, YOU GOTTA WATCH THIS!
