Lakers beat the Denver Nuggets 105-103 in an excellent game 1. Based off today’s game this will obviously be a tough series, but it can potentially be the best series since the Bulls vs. Celtics in round 1. Big ups to Trevor Ariza for that last minute steal resulting in the victory.
Lakers Take Game 1!

19 05 2009
It’s been almost five years since Eminem released his last studio album Encore. The album stuck to Eminem’s traditional formula, but came off overly comical and was hailed as a disappointment by fans. Following Encore, Em when on a four year hiatus; releasing a greatest hits album and a Shady Records compilation. Aside from those, Marshall has been absent from appearances in the media and on wax. The anticipation then built for his next project Relapse, which is a head trip of stories of child molestation, murdering female celebrities, and drug addicted Mother’s. To fulfill everyone’s needs for a new album, Eminem collaborates with Dr. Dre for thorough production, and limited guest appearances.
