Apples Worth 1 Trillion
This week Apple's net worth reached over $1,000,000,000,000 USD. Yes, I'm aware that's a lot of zeros. But what'd Apple have to do to get there?
From the iPhone 1 to Air Pods to the early Mac's and phone chargers that break in a month. Here's what Apple has done. There keyboards have a patented "butterfly design," that are less functional then the traditional style. They break easier, dust accumulates easier, and other varies negatives. Now phone's with dongles and no audio jacks has made it more of a clutter. Yes, I'm also aware that other phone companies do the same but Apple persuaded or influenced the rest of the market to follow. Now on the plus side, Apple has also developed amazing tech and have nice devices. They're user friendly, fast, up-to-date, and their familiarity is amazing. Let us know what you think about apple!

Rod$ta – Bases Loaded
Rod$ta’s new 14 song project titled “Bases Loaded” is the refreshing sound the Hip-Hop/Rap community needed as a hiatus from the current popular flows we’ve been receiving. With trap music heavily taking over and slurred lyrics becoming the norm, it’s hard for the average rap listener to appreciate the genre much anymore. Of course hardcore fans are still getting the same energy they’ve been looking for, but all this does is create hive-mind tendencies circling the current “mumble rap” theme. “Bases Loaded” has a personal touch to it, including some aspects like real conversations. This project delivers a wide range of sounds and production. A futuristic xylophone type beat can be heard on the song “Drive” and trap elements are well delivered on the track “Be Some”. Personally, this project is exactly the kind of thing I’ve been looking for, for months. The sound is crisp, the production is fluid and most of all we hear an interesting range, which keeps the project from ever sounding boring.
You can listen to this project on iTunes and Apple Music here.

Travis Scott – ASTROWORLD
Finally, the highly anticipated Travis Scott album "ASTROWORLD" has been released! Many fans have been waiting on this album for 2 years, and so far it has lived up to its hype. Every track is different than the last, and each track is somewhat refreshing. There's a plethora of sounds on this project ranging from rock elements to electronic transitions. A number of beat switches are on this thing as well. Notable beat switches can be heard on "STARGAZING" and "SICKO MODE". One issue I found with this album is the incredibly large feature list. Every feature fits the album very well and fits into their respective songs well also, but the feature list is definitely monstrous on this album. The feature list includes: Frank Ocean, Drake, Swae Lee, Kid Cudi, James Blake, Stevie Wonder, Juice WRLD, Sheck Wes, Pharrell Williams, The Weeknd, Tame Impala, 21 Savage, Thundercat, John Mayer, Gunna, NAV, Don Toliver, Quavo and Takeoff. If you're unaware, that's more features than there are tracks on the album. 19 features on ASTROWORLD with 17 songs. Now a few of the features have very small parts and a lot of them are on the same songs, but still; there are a lot of features for sure. Overall I enjoyed the new sound Travis is demonstrating on this album
I give this album a 9 / 10. Really my only complaint about this album is the monstrous feature list.

Mac Miller - Swimming
Mac Miller continues his path towards a more melodic sound rather than his upbeat rap sound that he developed early into his career. In this album Mac opens up his mind a bit and lets out some emotion and gives some insight into his personal issues. Similar to his previous album, he continues the soft flows and groovy beats. There are a lot of different instruments used in the production of this album. I was impressed with the spectrum of sounds used. In "What's The Use" we have some 70's disco elements and in "Hurt Feelings" we have some keyboard synth which really sets a vibe for the album. Of the albums that dropped this week ASTROWORLD is the hype album and Swimming is definitely the late night chill album.
I personally loved this album and couldn't find much about it I disliked. Mac really delivered on his verses and I enjoyed everything he had to say. I give this album a 9 / 10. The only thing that I would have liked more is if Mac had an ode to his old style somewhere on the album, but most of the flows all resemble his new style.

Man Dumps Port-A-Potty contents in 7-Eleven
A Florida man dumped a bucket of human waste inside a 7-Eleven convenience store Wednesday as an act of revenge on a manager who had kicked him out months prior, police said. Damian Simms, 41, walked into the St. Petersburg shop at around 1:30 a.m. and emptied the bucket containing human feces and urine onto the floor and some splashed onto merchandise, The Smoking Gun reported. Simms was reportedly mad at the manager for having him kicked out of the store in May, according to the crime website. Police said Simms filled the bucket with waste from a port-a-potty. Simms was charged with trespass and criminal mischief and was being held at the Pinellas County Jail on $300 bond, according to The Smoking Gun. He is barred from contacting the store or the manager. The Smoking Gun reported Simms had a long criminal history, which includes convictions for burglary, weapons possession, grand theft, animal cruelty, drunk driving and carrying a concealed weapon.
