Posted by Sabrina B. @gametimegirl As if on cue, LeBron James and his dunce of a marketing agent have proclaimed that his plummeting Q Scores have something to do with race. “It’s always, you know, a race factor,†the noted sociologist/sneaker salesman himself told CNN interviewer Soledad O’Brien. “It definitely played a role in some of the stuff coming out of the media, things that were written for sure,†said Maverick Carter, the rising star who conceived of “The Decision.â€
NFL ticket prices on the rise – you can’t even fill seats and teams are getting blacked out on tv – Stop it!

I just got an email from my attorney saying they’re getting the exact number of what I’m owned and things will be taken care of. ” The whole disagreement between Wayne and Bangladesh started over the track ‘A Millie’ which appeared on his 2008 album ‘Tha Carter III.’ Bangladesh alleged that the popularity of the track propelled the album to sell over three million copies domestically. Proving that there are no hard feelings, Bangladesh plans to put together more beats for Wayne. “[Young Money president] Mack Maine reached out to me not too long ago telling me Wayne wants some beats,” he says. “It’s specific beats that he wants.

I really never had too much of…
