Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:18:06 GMT

Hip-hop and R&B music are powerful forces, even within the vast tapestry of America's musical genres. The catchy hooks and emotionally charged lyrics have woven seamlessly into the U.S. cultural narrative, encapsulating moments that resonate with millions. The current charts, showcasing popular tracks such as Doja Cat's "Paint the Town Red" and Luke Combs' rendition of Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" are either squarely in the category or borrow from the genre, featuring smooth intros that ease listeners into the groove.The nation has always had a rich musical history, with diverse beats marking different eras. But there are certain tracks and moments, like Billie Eilish's stirring "What Was I Made For?" from "Barbie" that become indelibly etched in the collective consciousness. But not every listener can keep track of every hit, so the question often arises: "What's that song?" It could very well be "Bipolar," a heartfelt song of lost loves by Peso Pluma, Jasiel Nuñez, and Junior H....

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Billy Napier navigated a sea of family, friends and fans waiting to congratulate him on his most significant victory as Florida’s head coach. He shook hands, doled out hugs and even posed for pictures.He was in no hurry to get through the adulation, either.“We’ll celebrate tonight, I promise you,” Napier said.Trevor Etienne ran for a career-high 172 yards and a touchdown, Montrell Johnson scored twice and Florida upset No. 11 Tennessee 29-16 on Saturday night to extend the Volunteers’ losing streak in Gainesville to 10.The victory was the first in a rivalry for Napier, who last year became the first coach in school history to lose to Tennessee, LSU, Georgia and Florida State in the same season. Getting that initial one under his belt should quell outside noise about Napier’s long-term viability with the Gators (2-1, 1-0 Southeastern Conference).“It validates your plan, what you’re selling to a degree,” Napier said. “That...

Sweet 16: BC High hopes to solidify return to prominence

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:18:06 GMT

BC High coach Ed Mantie is hoping the third time’s a charm again.After back-to-back sub.-500 seasons to start his coaching career at BC High, Mantie and the Eagles are flying high thus far. An impressive 44-7 win at Reading following a solid 28-21 win over LaSalle (RI) has given the folks on Morrissey Boulevard reason for optimism.“I wouldn’t say we are surprised, but the start certainly validates what we are trying to do here,” said Mantie. “It’s tough to change things, you have to try and get the kids to buy into the new culture. It does seem like the third year is the sweet spot, the kids have a deeper understanding for our system and they are seeing success.”Despite a slow start to the Mantie regime, he refused to let the mounting losses weigh too heavily on him. He felt the Eagles were making small strides and that began to manifest itself over the second half of the 2022 season when they went 4-2 after an 0-5 start.“I never got discouraged, I knew it was goin...

Orioles clinch playoff berth for first time since 2016

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:18:06 GMT

The Orioles have spent much of Brandon Hyde’s tenure being looked down upon. They’ve spent almost six months craning their necks upward.Sunday, the Orioles clinched their first playoff berth since 2016, the culmination of a rebuilding process that fully launched in the winter of 2018 when Mike Elias was brought in as executive vice president and general manager and hired Hyde as manager to steward a club designed to struggle.They inherited the worst team in the majors, an organization with bad contracts and bad infrastructure. In each of Hyde’s first three years, Baltimore finished with one of baseball’s five worst records, twice losing at least 108 games as his lineups and pitching staffs were littered with overmatched players.The tide unexpectedly began to turn in 2022, when a team projected for another year as a bottom-feeder instead finished as the best team in the American League to miss the playoffs. With the Texas Rangers’ loss Sunday, the Oriol...
