Drake is celebrating two big accomplishments this week.

His "Views" album moved an impressive 1.04 million equivalent album units for the week ending May 5. The number for traditional sales came in at 852,000, which will be good enough to overtake Beyonce's "Lemonade" disc for number one on the Billboard 200 chart.

Drizzy is probably even more proud of the fact that his song "One Dance" featuring WizKid and Kyla has pushed past Desiigner's "Panda" to claim the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100, giving the Toronto native his first number one single as a lead artist, according to Billboard.

Impressive...

Portland's own Sourmouth is back with his third video from his upcoming "A Million Little Pieces" album and this time, he tackles the subject of a "Basic Bitch". Not intended to offend the ladies, Sourmouth takes aim at that specific demographic and goes into great detail in the release. The instrumental has a ragtime feel to it as it features samples from that time era. The PDX rhymer refers to his clever wit to put a humorous twist on the subject, even taking a stab at Caitlyn Jenner mid-song. As with his two previous videos, Mr. Federal mans the camera lens as he continues honing his director / editor skills. "A Million Little Pieces" is slated to release on June 1st and is available for pre-order via iTunes.

Ja Rule is finding out the hard way that the internet has no mercy. The New York rapper is trending worldwide after tweeting that Michael Jordan gets paid every time his infamous crying meme gets posted.

"This why I love America while we all laughing at the Jordan crying face he gets a 1$ every time it gets post. Jokes on us!!!" Ja wrote on Monday, May 9th.

What's bananas is that he got the idea that you could get paid for getting photoshopped from a website called TMZComedy.

Ja quickly deleted the tweet, but it was too late. Check out a sample of the hilarious reactions below.

Dolo - Wake Em Up

Born Darius Kwmane Berry in the cold streets of Louisville Kentucky on May 13^th, 1992, Dolo grew up in the west end of Louisville were its very drug and crime infested. He made his first recording in an actual studio at the age of ten years old on the end of one of his fathers, Kwmane Berry records. As a child Dolo looked up to his father who was heavily involved in the rap game as a local artist. Rap readily became an outlet for the young child to express his feelings and actions. Dolo was also the oldest child of his mother, Lynn Berry’s three children. On his matriculation through life many times he had to play as an authoritative figure for his younger siblings. With everything Dolo had to face in life, rapping became the outlet for him to express himself. Even as a student in school at each grade level his teachers noticed that he was exceptionally well in writing and poetry. His peers began to notice him in his high school days because he used to engage in many freestyle battles before and after school where he would have to uphold his reputation of being the nicest MC around. Rapping came very natural for the aspiring artist in High School he formed a rap group with two of his closest friends and they were called the “Blue Boyz”. The group came together and made a wide range of songs but never seemed to push themselves to become known to the world. This group of friends continued to make songs for about 4 years making a bunch of great songs to end up just making hits for their own ears to acknowledge. 

After he graduated high school he moved to Raleigh, North Carolina to attend Shaw University on a Track and Field scholarship.  Where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in political science in May of 2014. During his college years he focused on his schooling and placed his rapping career in the backseat. To only resurface his dreams of becoming a major rap artist and now once again he is a force to reckon with!

During the conversation Russell also revealed that "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!)" wasn't the label's choice for the Beastie Boys' first single, as he explained that the radio took it and made it a huge hit.

Lord Jamar digs into bullying, in particularly the online bullying following singer Kehlani's attempted suicide after her ex-boyfriend, PartyNextDoor posted a photo of them in bed together when fans assumed she was still with Kyrie Irving. Later, Irving revealed that she wasn't with the basketball player, and from the immediate backlash on social media and numerous amounts of negative comments, the singer said she attempted to take her own life.

It appears that a boxing match between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor could actually happen.

Last week there was a report published The Sun that said a fight between the two was imminent. It was generally dismissed as a rumor by most, but Floyd has confirmed the bout is a possibility.

"It's possible...it was a name that was shot at me," Floyd told Fighhype following the Amir Khan/ Canelo Alvarez fight in Vegas Saturday, May 7. "The rumors that y'all been hearing is the rumors that I started. It may not be a rumor. Keep y'all fingers crossed. It may be a boxer versus an MMA fighter." 

Floyd added that it would take at least $100 million to get him to come out of retirement. A win would up his record to 50-0, breaking the record he shares with Rocky Marciano for the most victories without a loss.

On Sunday morning, May 8, McGregor shared what could be a poster for the match on his Twitter page.

— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 8, 2016

Conor is under contract with the UFC. He can't fight outside of the organization without their blessing.

UFC President Dana White dismissed the Sun report as being "completely fiction, this is like bottom-feeder ... stuff."

"We're his promoter. We'd have to make the fight," White told the Los Angeles Times on Friday.

At the end of the day this will come down to how much money could be generated. The UFC could possibly work out a deal with Mayweather Promotions that would allow the bout to take place.

Mystic Mac is 19-3 as a professional mixed martial artist. The 27-year old reportedly has a boxing background dating back to when he was 12 and incorporates it into his mma training.

Most experts don't believe McGregor has a chance to beat Mayweather in a boxing match. Check out commentary from Max Kellerman and Adrien Broner below and let us know your thoughts on the potential fight.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Canelo Alvarez got on his knees to check on Amir Khan after knocking him unconscious with a big right hand in the sixth round of their title fight.

"I invited him to come into the ring," Alvarez said. "Right now I will put the gloves on again."

It's a fight both Golovkin and boxing fans have been waiting for to happen, though the weight could be an issue. Alvarez wants the bout to be less than the 160-pound middleweight limit, while Golovkin, who holds his own piece of the middleweight crown, vows to fight at his best weight.

"I am old school," Golovkin said just before the fight. "Middleweight is 160. I respect the sport of boxing."

Against Khan, Alvarez needed only one big right hand to turn a close fight into a smashing knockout that left the British challenger out cold on his back in the middle of the ring.

Struggling with Khan's speed, Alvarez unleashed a long right hand that send Khan backward on the canvas, where referee Kenny Bayless didn't even bother to count him out at 2:37 of the sixth round.

Alvarez retained his piece of the middleweight title, but it was not without some nervous moments for his fans who packed the new T-Mobile Arena on the Las Vegas Strip. Khan was more than holding his own in a tactical fight when the right hand suddenly ended it.

"People have known me only for my power," Alvarez said. "I have many more qualities in the ring and I showed that. I think people saw more of me."

Khan, a 6-1 underdog, had vowed to use his speed to confound Alvarez and his plan seemed to be working. He fought in spurts, landing combinations and seemingly frustrating Alvarez with his movement.

But a right hand that came out of nowhere landed flush against Khan's chin, and he was out before he hit the canvas.

"I was getting in the ring with a big guy," Khan said. "Unfortunately, I didn't make it to the end."

Khan was taken to the hospital after the fight, but promoter Oscar De La Hoya said he appeared to be fine and that the move was precautionary. Khan's head snapped back when he hit the canvas and he appeared out for several minutes before being revived.

Im okay everyone  thats boxing for you, congrats to @Canelo monster punch, much love to all the fans! #CaneloKhan pic.twitter.com/oQcqZQrsLl

Alvarez was making the first defense of the WBC title he won from Miguel Cotto in November, though the fight was fought at a catch weight of 155 pounds. The WBC has said it will take the title from Alvarez if he does not begin talks for a fight with Golovkin within 15 days.

"I don't fear anyone," Alvarez said. "We don't come to play in this sport."

Khan, for one, believes it's a fight that has to happen, and soon.

"I think it's time that Canelo steps in the ring with Triple G," Khan said.

A pro-Alvarez crowd of 16,540 filled the new arena on the Las Vegas Strip for his first fight on the Mexican holiday weekend that Floyd Mayweather Jr. usually fought on. They came expecting to see Alvarez (47-1-1, 33 knockouts) put on a show, though he had trouble with Khan's speed and movement in the early rounds.

Alvarez chased after Khan (31-4) from the first round on, trying to cut the ring off and corner him on the ropes. He was largely unsuccessful, and Khan answered with combinations to the head, though they seemed to have little effect on the red-haired Mexican champion.

Alvarez was up on two ringside judges' scorecards when the fight ended, while Khan was leading by one point on the third. Ringside punch stats showed Khan landing 48 of 166 punches to 64 of 170 for Alvarez.

Khan, who spent years unsuccessfully chasing bouts with Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, had to put on weight for Alvarez but was still the smaller fighter.

"I'm a natural 147-pounder and this challenge came and it was hard to turn down," Khan said. "My natural weight is 147 and I will probably go back down to that."

Khan's trainer, Virgil Hunter, joined in the chorus of those who want to see Alvarez and Golovkin fight soon.

"He's got to stop hiding behind the flag and fight the fight that we all want to see," Hunter said of Alvarez.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Donald Trump will go to trial in a class-action lawsuit against him and his now-defunct Trump University after the presidential election but before the inauguration, setting the stage for a president-elect to take the witness stand if he wins the White House.

U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel on Friday scheduled trial for Nov. 28 in the suit that alleges people who paid up to $35,000 for real estate seminars got defrauded. The likely Republican nominee planned to attend most, if not all, of the trial and would testify, Trump attorney Daniel Petrocelli said.

"He has very, very strong feelings about this case," Petrocelli told reporters.

Petrocelli asked for a trial after Inauguration Day on Jan. 20, but the judge raised concerns about distractions if Trump wins the election. The attorney said the period between the election and swearing-in is extremely hectic for a president-elect but that it was preferable to holding a trial during the campaign.

The lawsuit is one of three that accuse Trump University of fleecing students with unfulfilled promises to teach secrets of success in real estate.

The San Diego suit says Trump University, which no longer operates and was not accredited as a school, gave seminars and classes across the country that were like infomercials, constantly pressuring students to buy more and, in the end, failing to deliver.

Trump, who appears on a list of defense witnesses for the trial, has repeatedly pointed to a 98 percent satisfaction rate on internal surveys. But the lawsuit says students were asked to rate the product when they believed they still had more instruction to come and were reluctant to openly criticize their teachers on surveys that were not anonymous.

Curiel, a judicial appointee of President Barack Obama, has been eager to get to trial and had planned for it this summer before Trump's surge in the primaries. The case was filed in 2010, making it the second-oldest on his docket.

Still, he expressed concern about a trial during the campaign, partly out of concern for jurors' safety.

"Will they be able to stay clear of the media frenzy?" he asked. "Ultimately that's my Number 1 concern."

Since the early 1980s, Trump personally has been sued at least 150 times in federal court, records show. Only a handful of those cases are pending, with the ones involving Trump University — two in California and one in New York — being the most significant.

Trump has railed against the judge in the San Diego case, calling him hostile and suggesting his positions may be the result of Trump's stance on border security. The likely GOP nominee has noted Curiel's ethnicity.

Trump said of the judge at an Arkansas rally in February: "I believe he happens to be Spanish, which is fine. He's Hispanic — which is fine."

Petrocelli said he would not ask for the judge to be removed from the case, despite Trump's views.

"He's got very strong views about everything and he expressed his own views," Petrocelli said.

Jury selection may begin shortly before Nov. 28, and the trial was expected to last a month or longer, the judge said.
