CB DISS DRAKE
Big Sean & Meek Mill React To Chris Brown's Drake Diss
Big Sean and Meek Mill provide their take on Chris Brown's "I Don't Like" freestyle.
Chris Brown's "I Don't Like Freestyle" had the internet buzzing earlier this week because of the R&B singer'sdisses hurled at Drake, stemming from their altercation last month.
Hot 97's Miss Info was in Los Angeles this week, conducting interviews leading up to Sunday's (July 1) BET Awards. During her interviews, Info asked both Big Seanand Meek Mill their takes on the situation.
"It's all in fun, that's the entertainment in Hip Hop, I feel like," opined Big Sean.
Sean vouched for Brown's credibility. "Chris Brown, people don't know about Chris Brown. He a real dude. He a tough guy, too. He ain't soft. He be like, reppin...he go hard."
"He the most turnt up dude I know. He be rappin', singin', dancin', hoopin', drawin', painting...acting," joked Sean.
Big Sean concluded that the situation wasn't anything too serious. "I can't even judge, really. To me - Chris is my homie - it ain't really affecting me too much. This is entertainment, I just want to see what's going on."
Meek Mill, on the other hand, was more cautious. "I just think they need to leave that alone," said the Philly native. "Leave that to the guys that ain't getting the money, that need that."
Meek continued, removing himself from involvement, though he was present for the altercation. "It never was nothing deep with me anyway, before the media just wanted to take it to another level.
"I'm coming from that, I don't really do that anymore. ...I've been in jail around people that been all that. You don't want your life to be derailed over media or a small situation," added Meek.
Eminem Reveals Slaughterhouse Album Release Date & Talks Beastie Boys
In a recent interview with DJ Whoo Kid on Shade 45, Em provided a hard date for his latest signees. "The album's coming out August 28. I'm actually finishing up one of the songs for it today, as we speak."
"I rap their verses for them," joked Em. "I present it for them like, 'Yo, here's how you guys should say this, here's what you should say,' and then that's pretty much how you do it."
Eminem also spoke on the passing of the Beastie Boys' Adam "MCA" Yauch, explaining their impact on Hip Hop. "It's really sad. It's really a shame. The Beastie Boys mean so much, have always meant so much since they came out, and mean so much to Hip Hop. All three of those guys. It's really, I don't know man, it's really sad."
"When License To Ill Came Out, that shit changed rap," he added.
Em offered his condolences to the Beastie Boys, as well as Yauch's family, expressing their impact on him. "My thoughts and prayers go out to the whole group, and Adam's family, and everybody. It's just a really sad situation. Those guys and LL made me want to rap. When I saw the Beastie Boys for the first time, you know, 'Fight For Your Right to Party,' when I seen that video...it made me realize that it was possible. Just seeing that and being like, 'whoa, holy shit!' They were killin' it."

SECURE EURO DONE
Spain 4 Italy 0: Silva, Alba, Torres and Mata the heroes as La Roja create history in Kiev
Sensational Spain trampled all over those boring jibes and marched straight into the history books with a magnificent Euro 2012 final victory over Italy in Kiev.
First-half goals from David Silva and Jordi Alba and late efforts from substitutes Fernando Torres and Juan Mata confirmed La Roja as the first team to record three successive major tournament victories, including a World Cup, with the biggest ever win in a European Championship final.

And they did it with the most awesome display of passing power, which made a mockery of all those who had questioned them beforehand.
It was all too much for Mario Balotelli, who marched straight down the tunnel at the end and angrily shrugged away efforts from Italian officials to get him to stay, before returning for the presentation ceremony.
Yet the thing was, Italy were not disgraced and would have held out hopes of a comeback until Cesare Prandelli's final replacement Thiago Motta was stretchered off within four minutes of his arrival, leaving his team-mates to battle through the final half hour with 10 men.
Ultimately though, Spain's display was a fitting end to the best European Championships in almost three decades.
Four players in particular, Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Andres Iniesta and Xavi deserve a special mention after starting all three finals, in Vienna, Johannesburg and now Ukraine.
But, as 'Ole' rang around this magnificent stadium, it was a night to glory in tiki-taka - and the players who put it into practice.

ALBA NOW OFFICIAL TO BACA
Barcelona agrees 14 million euro deal to sign Alba
The Catalans confirm they have reached an agreement with Los Che over the transfer of the Spain international this summer, with the fullback ready to sign a five-year contract.
Alba will undergo a medical next week, and sign a five-year deal upon successful completion of his physical examination.
"Barcelona announce that today an agreement with Valencia has been reached for the transfer of Jordi Alba, pending a medical examination the player will undergo in Barcelona next week," an official statement reads.
"The cost of the transfer will be 14 million euros and the player will sign a contract for the next five seasons."
Alba, 25, is a product of the Barcelona youth academy, but failed to break into the first team at Camp Nou and left the club in 2005.
He will now return to his boyhood outfit after spells with Cornella, Gimnastic and Valencia.

SPAIN CHAMPION EURO 2012
Spain 4 Italy 0: Silva, Alba, Torres and Mata the heroes as La Roja create history in Kiev
Spain shrugged off their boring tag to create a unique slice of history by becoming the first team to defend the European Championship crown after beating Italy 4-0 in Kiev.
David Silva finished off a brilliant move to give his side a 14th-minute lead. Then Jordi Alba raced onto Xavi's exquisite return pass to slide a second past Gianluigi Buffon just before the break.
Fernando Torres came off the bench to crown a remarkable two months for the Chelsea striker. Just weeks after lifting the Champions League trophy, he scored with a few minutes remaining to end the tournament as top scorer.

And there was more to come as Torres' Chelsea team-mate Juan Mata scored with two minutes left to seal a memorable night for the all-conquering Spaniards.
In truth it was more than the Italians could handle - Cesare Prandelli's side looked tired and failed to create sufficient chances to haul themselves back into the game.

RONEY USA T
Wayne Rooney endured a miserable Euro 2012 – the pressure, Steven Gerrard tells us, became too much for the Manchester United star to handle.
Banned for England's opening two games, Rooney failed to live up to the hype on his return to Roy Hodgson's side, scoring just one goal in two very lacklustre displays.
A Champions League, and multiple Barclays Premier League winner, Rooney is unlikely to hold this summer's championships in high esteem.
Centre of attention: Rooney is snapped partying with Ireland, Cole, Wright-Phillips and Knight in LA
Perhaps that would go some way to explaining his partying antics in Los Angeles after he was granted an extended break by United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
On holiday with wife Coleen, Rooney hit a vodka party on Saturday. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, the England ace was surrounded by some rather familiar faces.
The United striker was snapped hanging out with fellow England team-mate Ashley Cole, also enjoying a summer break across the Pond. Bolton defender Zat Knight, Queens Park Rangers midfielder Shaun Wright-Phillips and Aston Villa's Stephen Ireland also joined in on the party.
Time to party: Rooney poses with American rapper Trey Songz
Posing for pictures with rap stars Timbaland and Trey Songz, Rooney and Co were attending the BET Awards Summer Pool Soiree.
Rooney was then pictured out in Hollywood with Coleen, as he continued to put his Euro woes behind him.
Earlier, England captain Gerrard came out in support of his England team-mate following a disappointing Euro 2012 campaign. He said: 'At this level one of the biggest things is playing without expectation or fear.
Out of touch: Rooney failed to live up to the hype on his return to Roy Hodgson's side

LAST MOMENT OF EURO 2012
Silva will cost £80m in gold if Madrid are to move for City star
David Silva will cost Real Madrid an astonishing £80million if they want to pry him from the grip of Manchester City.
The club believe the prohibitive price tag will dissuade the Spanish predators from their pursuit of City's star player.
Star: David Silva (right) is a Real Madrid target
Spanish reports suggest Madrid boss Jose Mourinho would be able to spend up to £45m on the player as he tries to consolidate his La Liga winning squad.
The Sunday Mirror report that he is also willing to offer Karim Benzema or Gonzalo Higuain to sweeten the deal for Roberto Mancini.
Rivalry: Silva sees off Portugal on the way to the Euro 2012 fina
RVP's Arsenal future could hinge on two Emirates enemies... rivals Spurs and Adebayor
Robin van Persie's potential move to Manchester City could be dependent on decisions made by Arsenal's rivals Tottenham and hated former player Emmanuel Adebayor.
Roberto Mancini wants to bring the Gunners' Dutch striker to Manchester City for £20million but has been told he must offload one of the big wage earners at the club.
Signing: Will Robin van Persie move to Manchester City?
Adebayor, whom Arsenal fans intensely dislike, spent the season on loan at White Hart Lane and if Tottenham push forward and pick up the striker - who earns £170,000-a-week at City - they will be able to make their bid.
Andre Villas-Boas, who is set to become the new Tottenham manager, has told Tottenham's board to continue the pursuit of Adebayor, report The Sunday Mirror.
Hinged: Emmanuel Adebayor could make way for Van Persie at City
Spurs cannot afford to pay Adebayor his current wage so they are attempting to get him on a free transfer, pay him a lump sum to account for a percentage of his City salary and then put him on a similar wage to the club's other top earners.
Aiming high: Andre Villas-Boas
Edin Dzeko is another player who could leave to open the door to Van Persie, although a potential move to Bayern Munich appears to have failed.
It's the making of Mario! City's problem boy helping to usher in a brave, new era for Italy
off, torso rippling and the colour of his skin proudly exposed, Mario Balotelli seemed keen to make a point in Warsaw's National Stadium on Thursday.
Was it a riposte to the Gazzetta dello Sport cartoonist who had depicted him as King Kong prior to the England match? Was it a final, definitive answer to Italian fans who had racially insulted him and displayed banners saying 'No to a multi-ethnic national team' two years ago in a friendly match against Romania?
Sitting comfortably: Mario Balotelli takes a break during training
Middle man: Balotelli is always centre of attention
Balotelli may have been unwilling to explain his behaviour following the glorious second goal that ultimately finished Germany's Euro 2012 challenge but what is clear is that a 21-year-old footballer, Ghanaian by ethnicity but Italian by birth and adopted by white Italian parents, is ushering in a new era for the Azzurri at the European Championship.
Seasoned Italian correspondents cannot remember a black Italian ever having had such an impact on the nation's popular culture. For while Andrea Pirlo is the outfield leader of this entertaining team and goalkeeper and captain Gianluigi Buffon the vocal driving force, its vitality and future is represented by Balotelli.
Cesare Prandelli, the man who has guided what many considered a mediocre team to the brink of a glorious victory in today's final against Spain in Kiev, is now reaping the rewards of investing so much faith in a player who might have been considered too volatile to integrate into a squad playing tournament football.
The coach praises the job Roberto Mancini has done with Balotelli at Manchester City, but his compatriot had been reduced to declaring the striker 'finished' after his red card against Arsenal as recently as April.

A tough week for Beckham got even tougher with LA Galaxy star involved in 'handbags' against rivals
David Beckham showed he was still disappointed at being left out of Stuart Pearce's Team GB Olympic football squad as he got involved in some pushing and shoving for LA Galaxy against rivals San Jose Earthquakes.
The former England captain caused a stir when he kicked the ball from the touchline and it hit opponent Sam Cronin who lay on the floor 20 yards away.

Bizarre: David Beckham was involved in some uncharacteristic incidents
After the 'California Clasico' ended, he got involved in a hot-headed argument with players from both sides and, bizarrely, the San Jose mascot.
Beckham had been snubbed by Pearce who opted to select Ryan Giggs, Micah Richards and Craig Bellamy as his three over-23 players in the 18-man squad for the Games.
But he reminded the manager just what he could have brought to the Team GB Olympic football side as he scored a trademark free-kick for LA Galaxy.

Ten moments that shaped the EURO

The final of UEFA EURO 2012 will take place tomorrow, with Spain and Italy aiming to write a new chapter in the competition’s illustrious history. Ahead of the big match, FIFA.com looks at some of the moments that have illuminated past European Championships and made the tournament what it is today.
1. Ponedelnik seals landmark triumph The inaugural European Championship in 1960 provided the USSR with their only success in a major championship, and Viktor Ponedelnik was the Soviets’ match-winner. The 23-year-old struck seven minutes from the end of extra-time to seal a 2-1 win over Yugoslavia in Paris, although he was honest enough to admit that the star of the tournament had been team-mate Lev Yashin. As he later reflected: “I was lucky and honoured to play alongside this goalkeeper, the greatest of them all.”
2. Shesternyov’s fateful call Portugal may have considered their recent semi-final defeat cruel, but the ordeal of losing on penalties is nothing compared to the way in which the USSR were eliminated in 1968. Locked at 0-0 with Italyafter 120 gruelling minutes, it was left to the Soviet skipper, Albert Shesternyov, to call heads or tails to decide whether his team advanced to the final. Sadly for the man nicknamed ‘Ivan the Terrible’, he predicted wrongly and Gli Azzurri went on to win the trophy, with Yugoslavia again the losing finalists. Shootouts were introduced two years later.
3. Panenka’s inspirational impudence If ever there was an example of how penalties - far from being ‘a lottery’ - are a test of skill and nerve, this was it. Faced with the biggest kick of his nation’s footballing history, a penalty that could win the European Championship for Czechoslovakia and sink world champions Germany, Antonin Panenka took a long run-up, sped up towards the ball, slowed at the last second and deftly chipped the ball beyond the committed Sepp Maier. Pele later described it as the work of “either a genius or a madman”.
4. Platini weaves his spell No one player has made a bigger impact on a European Championship than Michel Platini in 1984. Nine goals in five matches, including two ‘perfect’ hat-tricks – right foot, left foot and header – against Belgium and Yugoslavia, illustrate his impact, although the most important of his strikes came in the semi-final against Portugal. In a match widely regarded as the competition’s greatest ever, and with the score at 2-2, Platoche struck a dramatic 119th-minute winner to set up a final with Spain – and paved the way to France’s first European crown.
5. Marco's magic momentWhile Platini remains the highest scorer in EURO history, few quibble with the assertion that the tournament’s best goal belongs to another of the game’s greats. Marco van Basten had already illuminated the 1988 edition, but it was in the final against USSR that he provided a moment of pure inspiration, scoring a trophy-winning volley from a seemingly impossible angle. “It was in the second half and I was a little tired,” he told UEFA.com recently. “The ball came from Arnold Muhren and I was thinking, 'Ok, I can stop it and do things with all these defensive players or I could do it the more easy way, take a risk and shoot.” His decision secured the Netherlands their first major championship.
6. Vilfort’s courage spurs Danes Denmark’s EURO 1992 triumph was rightly described as a fairy tale, but it also had a poignant subplot. Midfielder Kim Vilfort had learned ahead of the tournament that his seven-year-old daughter, Line, was terminally ill with leukaemia, and twice pulled out of the squad only to be persuaded by his family to reconsider. The Brondby star missed the Danes’ third group game to be at Line’s bedside, but returned for the semi-final win over the Dutch and famously went on to score the title-clinching goal in the final against Germany. When Line tragically passed away just weeks later, she died knowing that her father was a national hero.
7. Gazza’s glory goal England and Scotland, the oldest rivalry in international football, had never fought it out at a major championship before EURO 1996. And ultimately the pair’s Wembley showdown was decided inside a few dramatic second-half minutes. The excitement began when David Seaman saved Gary McAllister’s penalty, keeping the hosts 1-0 in front, and culminated in a truly magnificent goal from Paul Gascoigne. Racing on to a pass at the left-hand edge of the penalty area, the midfielder lifted the ball brilliantly over Colin Hendry’s head before volleying unstoppably beyond his then Rangers team-mate, Andy Goram.
8. Trezeguet’s clinching kick Although EURO 1996 had been settled by a golden goal, Oliver Bierhoff’s decisive strike had hardly been a thing of beauty. Four years later, it was a different story, with David Trezeguet sweeping left-footed finish into the roof of the net to cap a memorable comeback in a gripping final. “At first I was happy for my team-mates; then I was happy for my family; and then I was happy for me,” Trezeguet recently reflected. “We had dreamt of being champions of the world and Europe.” Thanks to the swing of the substitute’s left boot, that dream became a reality.
9. Otto’s boys' unforgettable upset No-one saw this one coming. Greece, available at odds of up to 250-1 before the tournament kicked off, pulled off the biggest shock in the history of the European Championship in 2004. Having advanced from their section at the expense of Spain and Russia, Otto Rehhagel’s side beat France, Czech Republic and, finally, hosts Portugal – all by one goal to nil – to lift the trophy. "The Greeks have made football history,” reflected Rehhagel in the aftermath. “It's a sensation.”
10. Zizou’s brilliance undoes England With the 90 minutes up at the Estadio Da Luz in 2004, England – despite a missed penalty from David Beckham - looked to be on the verge of a famous win. But Zinedine Zidane had other ideas. Not content with equalising in the first minute of injury time with a beautifully struck free-kick, the Franceplaymaker delivered a crushing blow to the Three Lions with a match-winning penalty three minutes later. He later described the encounter as “certainly one of the best games I have ever played in.
