What Makes Michael Phelps So Damn Cool?

As you all may know, Michael Phelps broke the record and has obtained the most gold medals in a single Olympic competition.

Go Mikey!

But, what really makes Michey "The Flying Fish" Phelps cool is his "hype music". According to The New York Times Phelps likes to listen to Young Jeezy, Jay-Z and Rick Ross to liven him up before his swimming events.

Here's the quote:

"Before a race, he tunes out the world by listening to artists like Young Jeezy, Jay-Z and Rick Ross. The music transforms him. His goofy grin dissolves into a glower, his eyes turn cold as ice. The hip-hop beats have a hypnotic effect on Phelps, who sometimes, after a race, is unable to recall the songs that locked him into his groove."


Yeah, Phelps, let them know that Hip-Hop doesn't just cause young kids to sell drugs and commit crimes!


Now with that million contract from Speedo, you'll really be ballin' with these guys. Hey, you don't even have to buy the jewelery because you have eight new pieces of bling you can wear out to the club when you're popping those bottles of Dom P.

Former Waitress Brings Class Action Suit Against Jay-Z and the 40/40 Club

A former employee at the Manhattan location of the popular 40/40 nightclub, partially owned by rapper Jay-Z filed a class-action lawsuit against the sports bar and nightclub.

The former claims that she was paid below minimum wage, was forced to work for tips, had to pay for her breaks and spilled drinks and was not paid overtime.

This isn't looking good for Jigga and the 40/40. I'm curious to see how this one plays out, because the results of this occurrence could have a trickle-down effect that will spill-over to similar situations at other night clubs in the city.
