Highly Anticipated

Right now, all over the world, boxing fans and hip hop fans are playing the waiting game. People everywhere are waiting for two titans of their respective industries to give them what they want. For boxing fans, there are appetizers like Pacquio-De La Hoya and Pacquio-Margarito to stave off hunger; but in the end this still leaves them feeling empty with anticipation of the main course. For hip hop fans, new artists like Kid Cudi, Wale and B.o.B. have emerged to fill a void that, for the last ten years, has only been getting bigger.

In the boxing world there is one fight everybody wants to see, Mayweather-Pacquio. This fight has been building for years and in 2010 fight fans nearly had their white whale. Then for curious reasons (Mayweather is a scared bitch), the fight didn't happen. Pacquio went on to mow through other opponents and Mayweather went lord knows where but I can only assume it was somewhere with a blanky and a night light. To this day just mumbling the words "Pacquio-Mayweather" gives fight fans goosebumps. On a similar note, uttering the word "detox" can elicit emotional trauma amongst fans of rap music. Detox is of course the highly anticipated third studio album from hip hop mogul Dr. Dre. Andre Young's first two studio albums, The Chronic and 2001, were met with widespread praise from critics and a borderline dangerous obsession from the public. For the last ten years Dr. Dre has been producing music for other artists but has failed to give hip hop fans (me) that third album they so desperately desire.

Fortunately for music fans a few songs from Detox have leaked and a 2011 release date seems much more likely than any sort of meeting between Mayweather that fucking pussyajsd;lfkjsdalf oh sorry I sneezed, than any sort of meeting between Mayweather and Pacquio. For now both groups of fans remain in purgatory forced to wait it out until their day comes. Hopefully they both come soon. In the meantime below is a video that brings these two worlds together. It is a video hyping Pacquio's most recent fight (in which he absolutely pasted Sugar Shane Mosely of course) set to a song from Dre's Detox album. Watch. Listen. Enjoy.

If I know one thing about hip hop its Fuck Tha Police! If I know two things about hip hop its that my friend Chris knows everything there is to know about it. The kid has an unbridled passion for rap music and is always on top of what you should be listening to. He has managed to turn this into a semi-career and you can check out his blog http://rawtracks.wordpress.com/ and at the very least he will show you a couple songs you'll like that you never would have known about. If you have Facebook or Twitter (cut to you nodding your head) you can follow him @rawtracks on twitter or check in for quick updates on facebook at www.facebook.com/rawtracksmusic.
