Students were required to submit an essay describing their goals for college and future plans.

Asher Roth - Asleep in the Bread Aisle

Rating:4.7 out of 5
Review: Asher Roth debut album "Asleep in the Bread Aisle" is a very good album indeed. Asher popped onto the scene with the debut single from the album "I Love College" which became the anthem of every college student. "Asleep in the Bread Aisle" was released on a very special day unlike all albums that are released on Tuesday. The album was released on a Monday. This being the release date being the day of all pot heads 4/20. This was because Asher being a weed smoker. The album fall heavily on a Rock type Hip-Hop style. Having a true sound of its own. Asher brings features from some of the best as Cee-Lo, Jazza Pha, and Busta Rhymes. Just to name a few of the major artist. Each song is different from the last, but all have a easy listening, mellow feel that is influenced by chronic smoke. This album is high recommended to any weed smoker, and person of curiousity.

Drake Signs To Universal Motown

XXL reports:

The bidding war is over. XXLMag.com has learned from reliable sources that red-hot rapper Drake has just signed a deal with Universal Motown. Word is that Interscope and Atlantic Records also put deals on the table for Drizzy.

The Toronto rapper reached a deafening buzz in the last few months with the release of So Far Gone, his third mixtape featuring appearances from Lil Wayne, Bun B, Trey Songz and Lloyd, among others. The mixtape has also produced a few fan-favorites, including “Successful” and “Best I Ever Had,” which is presently gaining momentum at radio stations, including New York’s Hot 97. Still high off touring alongside mentor Lil Wayne on his I Am Music tour, Drake recently embarked on his own So Far Gone tour—hitting markets like Chicago, Westchester, NY and more recently Atlanta.

The signing ironically comes months after the rapper addressed being passed over by Universal Motown on “Say What’s Real,” another standout track on which he spits over Kanye West’s “Say You Will” on So Far Gone.

“I’ve always been something that these labels can’t buy, especially if they try to take a piece of my soul/And Sylvia be tellin Tez, ‘Damn, Drake fly’/And he just be like, ’silly motherfucka, I know’/That was yo bad/How could you pass up on him/He just take them records and he gas up on em’/Wayne will probably put a million cash up on him/Surprised nobody ever put yo ass up on him,” Drake spat in reference to a conversation between Cortez Bryant, Wayne’s manager and Sylvia Rhone, Universal Motown’s president.

The signing comes a few months after Kid CuDi inked a deal with Motown. At press time, Universal reps had no comments on the signing.

2009 MET Costume Gala

Rihanna made a triumphant return to the red carpet at last night's Costume Institute Gala at NYC's Metropolitan Museum of Art following her recent tabloid trauma with Chris Brown. Unfortunately, her Dolce & Gabbana cropped pant suit was a complete disaster.

Ooh La La Beyonce!
