Listen to Kid Cudi and Eminem’s new collaboration “The Adventures of Moon Man and Slim Shady”

Image
Kid Cudi  is slowly but surely making his way back to the forefront. Just last April, he delivered  two new tracks  — “ Leader Of The Delinquents ,” and the Travis Scott-assisted “ The Scotts ,” which got a creative premiere via Travis Scott’s “concert” on Fortnite. In addition, “The Scotts” also helped to earn Cudi  his first number one debut  on the Billboard Hot 100. Now, he looks to keep that momentum going with another massive collaboration, this time with none other than reigning rap god  Eminem . Titled “The Adventures of Moon Man and Slim Shady,” the single looks to have been in the works as early as May, when  Kid Cudi  sent the Detroit legend a  fairly cryptic tweet . The big announcement was then made by  Cudi ’s daughter Vada via Instagram:

'I absolutely experienced racism in and out of tennis,' says former Wimbledon finalist Mal Washington

Image
MaliVai Washington  is a "little sad." That's because he holds a 24-year record that he never expected to possess for so long -- he's the last African-American man to reach a grand slam final. On July 7, 1996, Washington strode onto Centre Court beside Dutchman Richard Krajicek for the biggest match of his career: the  Wimbledon  final. It was the first time two unseeded players had reached this final, which was also disrupted by an infamous streaker appearance just before the coin toss. The match itself was over in 94 minutes with Krajicek needing only three sets to dismiss his opponent. But the feeling of being there on that day, on the cusp of history, lingers on for Washington. "It's distressing. It's unfortunate and a little sad," Washington told CNN Sport as he reflected on that 24-year record and that it's also 45 years since a Black American last won Wimbledon. "I'm surprised that we don't have more Am...

If you have this blood type, studies show you’re at higher risk for the coronavirus

Image
The roulette wheel that decides who lives and dies from the coronavirus is weighted by the type of blood coursing through the veins of victims, gifting some with innate resistance and dooming others to misery and torment. Infectious disease specialists say the worldwide pandemic is especially cruel to people with type A blood, which apparently lacks certain compounds that help fight off the disease. A study published June 17 in the New England Journal of Medicine found that people with type A blood have a higher risk of contracting the disease and suffering complications. The analysis, conducted by an international team of scientists, also showed that people with type O blood were at least partially protected from the virus.

'Extraordinary People': Jyoti is 12lbs and 24 inches but that doesn't stop her from living life to the fullest

Image
Jyoti Amge might be short but she lives larger-than-life. Weighing12lbs and measuring 24 inches, Jyoti is known as the world's shortest woman. Her parents, Ranjana and Kisan Amge, were told by doctors that Jyoti's condition was due to lack of hormones in her body. Ranjana recalled that when she was pregnant with Jyoti, the doctors feared something might have happened to her as they were unable to see her during the sonography. Jyoti was born after Ranjana had an emergency C-section but doctors were sure she would not live more than a couple of hours. Beating all the odds, Jyoti survived and is now living her best life. Right from traveling to different countries to acting, Jyoti has never let her height come in between things. There are times when she wishes people don't see her as a baby as she is 26 years old but despite this, she manages to greet everyone with a big smile on her face. One of the problems that she faces is finding the right type of dress. Bei...

AGA And Reed Exhibitions Confirm G2E 2020’s Cancellation

Image
An official statement released by the American Gaming Association (AGA) and partner Reed Exhibitions has announced the cancellation of this year’s Global Gaming Expo (G2E), at least as a ‘in-person’ event. As a result of the continuing devastation arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, the suspension, which comes after 20 years of activity, was put directly on the organisers. G2E was expected to take place from 5 to 8 October 2020 but will now be held at the Sands Expo and Convention Center from 4 to 7 October 2021. Bill Miller, the President and CEO of AGA explained: “In light of continued uncertainty around a viable marketplace at a physical G2E show, global travel restrictions, and currently unknown guidance on large public gatherings this fall, we have come to the unfortunate conclusion that we simply cannot hold an in-person G2E this year.” However, the organisers said they are committed to promoting cultural , educational and networking opportunities for the global gaming ...

SpaceX to build new Mars-bound Falcon rocket in Los Angeles

Image
SpaceX plans a rocket and spaceship facility at the Port of Los Angeles that will help advance  founder Elon Musk ’s goal of making missions to Mars by 2022. The private space company plans to build a system called “BFR” — short for Big Falcon Rocket — at the facility. BFR will only be movable by barge or ship, necessitating a port location. SpaceX is headquartered in a Los Angeles suburb and the company already uses the port in other missions. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti gave the news at his annual State of the City address Monday. “This is a vehicle that holds the promise of taking humanity deeper into the cosmos than ever before," Garcetti said in the speech. "And this isn’t just about reaching into the heavens. It’s about creating jobs right here on Earth.” The facility could create as many as 700 jobs, according to SpaceX. Musk presented plans for BFR last fall, saying the new rocket would replace others known as Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy and Dragon. Th...

WWE WrestleMania 34 Results: Why Roman Reigns Should Have Defeated Brock Lesnar

Image
WWE WrestleMania 34 did not end with Roman Reigns standing tall as the new Universal Champion. Some diehard fans, in particular those who cannot stand Reigns, won't like to hear this, but WWE did not make the smart choice at WrestleMania 34. It was time for "The Beast" to drop the Universal Championship, and Reigns was the right man for the job. Let's start with Lesnar, who held the Universal title for more than a year because he's considered to be  WWE's biggest draw  but during his title reign had done little to prove that's actually the case. According to  WWE's Key Performance Indicators , Raw's TV ratings increased exactly 0% by the end of 2017, at which point Lesnar had held the title for nearly nine months. Likewise, the average WWE Network subscriber count dropped by more than 200,000 from Q2 (when Lesnar won the title) to Q4, while average live event attendance was at 4,900 in Q3, the lowest during any quarter over the last three ye...

Apple CEO Tim Cook is creeped out by ads that follow him around the internet

Image
Late last month,  Apple CEO Tim Cook commented on the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica scandal . When asked what he would do if he were Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Cook replied, "I wouldn’t be in this situation." He later stated, "We could make a ton of money if our customer was our product. We've elected not to do that." Zuckerberg hit back  calling the Apple executive's comments "extremely glib." On Friday, Cook was interviewed on MSNBC and said that online ads that follow users around the internet are creepy. He said, "To me it's creepy when I look at something and all of a sudden it's chasing me all the way across the web. I don't like that." The CEO also called privacy a "human right," and said that he is concerned with the way advertisers and others can gain access to personal data. Cook said during the interview that when  Apple  repatriates the $300 billion it holds overseas, it will pay $38 ...

Drake Drops Energetic New Single 'Nice For What'

Image
As he promised only a day ago, Drake has shared a new single just in time for those looking for something to soundtrack their weekend. The hip-hop star’s single “Nice For What” arrived just an hour before Saturday morning, coming late in the evening for a new music Friday release, but when you’re Drake, you don’t need to stick to the same timetables as everyone else. “Nice For What” is Drake’s third new single of 2018, and it could easily wind up being another showstopper on the charts for the musician. An upbeat, summer party-ready backs another perfect delivery from the biggest artist in hip-hop, and a chopped and screwed Lauryn Hill vocal sample helps the track stand out from much of the rest of his discography. It’s pitched perfectly, and Drake and producer Murda Beatz took some chances and allowed “Nice For What” to be slightly strange, but that only makes the song that much more alluring and interesting, and it shows that Drake isn’t afraid to try new things. Drake has f...

There are eight cases of the bacterial disease in four New Jersey counties, a spokeswoman from the Department of Health told  Newsweek . Officials are investigating a Panera Bread in Phillipsburg, New Jersey. "The state lab is conducting tests to see if the strain of E. coli bacteria (there are many) matches. The CDC will then conduct confirmatory tests. The NJ Department of Health is still awaiting lab tests to determine if these cases are linked at all. As more information becomes available, we will provide that to the public," said spokeswoman Donna Leusner. Sarah Perramant, a public health epidemiologist in Warren County told  NJ.com  that officials were investigating “local Panera Breads” in Phillipsburg, New Jersey. "The Warren County Health Department and state Health Department are investigating a cluster of E. coli cases" potentially from "local Panera Breads," Perramant said. Perramant said they have not determined the Panera Bre...
