VIBE Magazine’s relaunch includes Drake on one cover, and Chris Brown on the other. VIBE’s blog entry for Drake is called “Everybody Loves Drake” because Chris Brown’s is called Everybody Hates Chris, which is pretty clever.

New Jersey is Ready To Legalize Medical Weed
New Jersey is said to be ready to legalize marijuana by the end of the year. Pop the top for the details.
According to NORML, the following states have medical marijuana laws in place already Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, , Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington. With no East Coast state representation for legal weed, New Jersey would be a powerful step towards getting the East Coastback in the game. Incoming NJ Governor and Republican Chris Christie says he’ll support the bill if it has “enough restrictions.”
All my people back home roll up!

Fight Of The Decade Between Floyd Mayweather Jr And Manny Pacquiao Almost Finalized
UK Mirror Reports
Floyd Mayweather Junior's superfight with Manny Pacquiao is close to being sealed.
A source close to the negotiations claims that world pound-for-pound king Mayweather is edging nearer to agreeing terms.
The date of March 13 has already been pencilled into the fight diary and the Las Vegas casinos, New Orleans and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones are falling over themselves to stage the showdown which will be the richest fight in history.
Both sides have agreed to a gagging order to reduce the chance of the negotiations being derailed by mud-slinging and talks are said to be progressing well.

He's Back : Allen Iverson Accepts Philadelphia 76ers Contract Offer
ESPN Reports:
Allen Iverson informed the Philadelphia 76ers Wednesday morning that he will accept their one-year, non-guaranteed offer.
The contract is for a pro-rated veteran's minimum of $1.3 million.
"In light of the recent injury to Lou Williams, which will sideline him for close to eight weeks, we felt that Allen was the best available free agent guard to help us at this time," team president Ed Stefanski said.
Team officials met face-to-face with Iverson and his representatives for nearly two hours Monday.
Iverson announced his retirement last week after an ill-fated stint with the Memphis Grizzlies. The 10-time All-Star was NBA MVP in 2001 when he led the Sixers to the NBA Finals.

Video: Pac Div Talk Debut Album, Grown Kid Syndrome
via MTV
Pac Div have been gradually building buzz for the past couple of years. Their 2009 mixtape, Church League Champions, has spawned videos for the singles “Mayor” and “Whiplash/Young Black Male,” which receive play on MTV. They hope to continue that success with their 2010 album, Grown Kid Syndrome, and further establish their sound.
“We want to bring our own sound into the game,” Like said. “It’s not about having big-time producers on every single track or ‘insert favorite singer here, there.’ It’s not about celebrity status with us. It’s just, like, making good music, and Church League kind of embodies that.”
But the group did in fact work with a big-name producer, Pharrell Williams. They recorded four songs with the Neptunes hitmaker because his energy fit where they wanted to take things. “Working with Pharrell, it’s just the energy he brings,” Mibbs explained. “He has a lot of good ideas as far as hooks, and even his beats are amazing. It just fits that whole mode, that everyman-type feel. That’s what Pharrell gives us.”
Pac Div said they are 75 percent done with the project, and the other 25 percent is reaching out to other artists to be on the record. They maintain, however, that their goal is introducing Pac Div.
“We don’t want to talk prematurely, but we’ve got surprises,” Like said. “We really just want to introduce our sound. Like when you hear your first classic album, it was all in-house. It wasn’t a whole all-star cast of producers.”
