2011 Audi A8

For 2011 Audi has made some dope enhancements to the A8 such as, the car comes with full LED headlamps which can adjust direction and throw on the basis of the navigation system, a new MMI including handwriting recognition, an updated 4.2-liter FSI V8 engine with 372 horse power and an eight-speed Tiptronic gearbox. The A8 also have better fuel efficiency, with the company claiming 15 percent better fuel efficiency then the V8. Check inside for more pics and to learn about the dope upgrade to Audi's navigation system!!



Another dope feature is the 3D Navigation!! The sedan comes with an 8-inch LCD screen that shows you land marks in 3D, thanks to a collaboration with the Google Earth and terrain-mapping functionality. The new system will use a UMTS modem for transferring data to the navigation system for downloading the maps. The data is then used to make an online search through a multimedia interface through which a user can search for "Cabinet maker" which displays the results. The mounted computer then matches the street data with the Google Earth 3D terrain model and provides route guidance through the map. Talk about life-like real-time support!

Death of Chicago Teen, Derrion Albert, caught on Tape & Nas writes an open letter

In attempt to identify more people involved, Fox has released video of a brawl in Chicago last Thursday that left 16 yr old honor student, Derrion Albert, beat to death.

I can't lie this tape is pretty disturbing as I can't help but to think of the stupid things we used to fight over as teens and I'm sure this fight was over something just as stupid! Parents have lost a son and as of now 3 black teens lives will be changed forever as they are charged w/ 1st degree murder for Derrion's death! It's time we take initiative and try to mentor and talk some sense into these youngins as much as possible!! My prayers are with the Albert family and their friends!!

Check out the open letter Nas wrote to the teens of Chicago below!

Dear Young Warriors fighting the wrong wars! Killing each other is definitely played out. Being hurt from the lost of a love one was never cool. Dear Young Warriors fighting the wrong war! I know that feeling , that frustration with life and needing to take it out on someone, any one. But….

We chose the dumbest things to go the hardest for. I remember seeing deaths over 8 ball jackets, fila’s , and name plate chains. Deaths over “he say she say”!!!!! “I’m from This block or I’m from that block”, or “my moms n pops is f*cked up now the whole world gotta pay”!!!

I remember feeling like I was the hardest “n*gga” breathin. And I couldn’t wait to prove it. But let’s think. What r we really proving?? And proving what to who?? Everybody knows Chicago breeds the strongest of the strong but I just feel, me, being ya brother from another state feels your pain as if I grew up with you in ya very own household.

You have the ability and mind power to change they way we are looked at. Look who’s watching us young warriors, look who’s throwin us in jail constantly, look at the ignorance in the world. Look at the racist dogs who love to see us down. Lovin to bury us in the ground or in jail were we continue this worthless war on one another. Young warriors…. We are WASTING more and more time. We gotta get on our jobs and take over the world. Cuz This movie left the theaters years ago, Juice, Menace, boys n the hood , blood n blood out, Belly!

When we see each other why do we see hatred? Why were we born in a storm, born soldiers, WARRIORS….and instead of building each other up we are at war with each other.. May the soul of this young person find peace with the almighty. I’m with you young warriors. You’re me and I’m you. But trust me! you are fighting the wrong war.

-Nas

D Wade signs with Jordan Brand

Michael Jackson was the best to ever do it!!

Man this clip is a prime example of what nobody will ever be able to emulate!! Michael Jackson was not only the best entertainer to ever grace a stage, but the most famous person to grace this earth!! With that fame came a lot of stress with the media, rumors, those with alternative motives etc. Therefore instead of grieving over Michael Jackson's death, I choose to celebrate his life cause I know he is in a better place now!! Besides, youtube clips like this of his perfect dance performances including the world famous moonwalk will make sure Michael Jackson lives on forever! My heart and prayers go out to the Jackson Family and all of MJ's friends!! R.I.P. Michael Jackson, the none before it none to come, best entertainer ever!!!
