WWE: Monday Night Raw Recap of August 25th, 2014

image cred: wwe.com

If you can get Hall of Famers on Raw, don't you think you should make them do something other than sit around and talk about John Cena. Night of Champions is next month and Hogan knows Cena is going to win, Cena knows Cena is going to win, even I know Cena is going to win! Despite every "Cena Sucks" chant, he will prevail. Or Maybe this is just wishful thinking. The only time I'm on Brock's side is when Heyman is screaming in my face that I'm on Brock's side.  

Other highlights from last night...Kane and Rollins delivered a powerful eulogy at Dean Ambrose's funeral. Reigns comes out and beats Rollins with the podium. Later that night, Reigns wins their match by disqualification. The Bella Twins are hard to watch. I really love crazy heel Nikki but Brie is so bad it ruins everything. BRING BACK STEPH!Cena vs Bray Wyatt turned into a six man tag match delivering quite the beat down to the Wyatt Family. 

The Goldust/Stardust heel turn may have been my favorite part of Raw and that's sad. Hopefully next week I'll have something good to write about.

50 Cent Praises Eminem As One of The Best Rappers To Ever Do In The Premiere Episode of Music Choice's New Show 'Chronicles'

50 Cent was never one to hold his tongue; so it was no surprise how real he kept it when he was asked to give an honest view of the Hip Hop game for Music Choice's new show Chronicles. The G-Unit head honcho is the first musical artist to be featured on the show which is set to air on August 26 at 8pmest. In this interview, 50 praises his good friend Eminem as one of the greatest rappers to ever step foot in the Hip Hop game and should be respected regardless of his race.

50 Cent speaks on the raw and unique talent that Eminem posses in the Chronicles episode:

The one Grammy I have is for "Crack a Bottle." I couldn't even have that without Em. You know, and that's why I have so much value for him, not just in my career, just in my life. He's one of my best friends because I can trust that he's gonna be honest with his constructive criticism when it's time to listen to the music before it goes out.
Hip-hop is black music, without question. And unfortunately for some people, it's tough to accept that you've got a white artist that does it better than black artists. It is what it is. You could get whoever you feel like is the best black artist and stand them face to face in a room with Em, and he'll eat that n---- alive.Right now, if you had 'em prepare themselves in whatever way they would have to prepare themselves to come battle, and I bet you, I bet everything I have - that that n----'s meatloaf.

As a White man holding a dominate spot in the Hip Hop game, the Shady Aftermath co-founder has held his own within the predominantly Black genre since the late 1990s. His sick flow and lyrical uniqueness has earned him tons of respect from Hip Hop fans and it was dope for 50 cent to publicly recognize Eminem's dedication to the game.

Check out a clip from 50 cent's interview on Chronicles here.

Does Remy Ma ever sleep? Ever since she was released from her six-year prison stay, Remy has been grinding non-stop by slaying remixes and keeping it real in media. Recently, the raptresses sat down with MTV to share some exciting news. Remy confirmed with the network that she will be releasing her I'm Around mixtape sometime within the next week (late August/early September).

The "Conceited" rapper speaks on her experiences while in prison through the lyrics on her new mixtape.

It's kind of impossible, after being in prison for six and a half years and being home for 19 days, to not talk about what I'm going through right now. It's very hard not to bring up what I went through. In the future, I don't want to dwell on the past. I don't want to dwell on the past now, but that was a large part of my life so it has affected me in a lot of ways. It will show in my music.

Remy also briefly spoke on plans to release an album shortly after the mixtape is released; so be on the lookout for some sick ish because the ruler is back!

A night of partying and getting wasted went terribly wrong for former Death Row Records CEO, Suge Knight, as he was shot multiple times at an unofficial pre-VMAs party hosted by Chris Brown. According to TMZ, shots were fired around 1:30am in the early hours of August 24 at 1OAK in Los Angles, CA which turned out to have hit the super-producer six times.

TMZ reports that eyewitnesses and Suge's family claimed he walked out of the club on his own and was then spotted by a police officer who took the producer to his car until the ambulance arrived. The 49- year-old was rushed straight to the hospital by an ambulance where he underwent emergency surgery.

Chris Brown took to Twitter to express his disappointment in the horrific incident that unfortunately occurred at his party.

@chrisbrown: It's disappointing that we as a society can't have fun or enjoy ourselves without any altercations sometimes. Miss me with the bullsh-t!!!

The former Death Row CEO is currently hospitalized in the ICU but is expected to recover.

Female Little League Pitcher Mo'ne Davis, Making Headlines

13 year old Mo'ne Davis has already broken major ground for kid baseball players. Just last week, Davis became the first female pitcher to throw a shutout in the Little League World Series game. She has been the sixth female baseball player to get a hit in the tournament. 

Mo'ne Davis is the first Little League player to ever make the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine. After her teams win in the LLWS, Davis made headlines after being the first female to win a game with a two-hit shutout against South Nashville last week. 

Not only is Davis talented in baseball, but she excellences on the basketball court according to her coach Debra Brady. 

"She's a phenomenal pitcher, but I think her best sport is basketball. In a year or so, she will be doing the same unbelievable things in basketball. She was head and shoulders above any kid I ever coached at that level."

Although the loss against Nevada placed her team, Philadelphia Taney Dragons in the elimination round, Mo'ne Davis continues to surprise us with her positive attitude which means great things are heading her way.
