Joe Budden - A Loose Quarter
On Monday evening, two UB students suffered injuries that occurred within two minutes of each other.
When my family and I were living in our small apartment in Flatbush, Brooklyn, my father (and sometimes my mother) was always working late nights to support the family - even during the holiday season. My mother would stay in her bedroom to rest after her work shift and watch the NY1 news channel in her bedroom, while I lay in my full-sized bed watching Cartoon Network's Christmas specials.
Screenwriter John Gatins already has a solid resume. He wrote sports-themed essential Coach Carter (2005) and the Keanu Reeves-starring Hardball (2001). Now he can proudly add Flight to that list.

Kanye West's new song, "White Dress," seemed to come out of nowhere. It's a record off the soundtrack to super producer RZA's new martial arts film, The Man with the Iron Fists.

Big Sean - Detroit
Poetry. Black Music. Trash. The Black CNN. These monikers all refer to one thing: hip-hop.
Murder and music in the inner city
UB meal plans are an extremely deceptive thing.
The floodgates will open at Baird Point on Saturday at 5:30 p.m., and students will finally get to see J. Cole, Childish Gambino and French Montana perform at Fall Fest. Many students are excited and many are upset, but some don't even know how to feel about the lineup. Each artist has elements to his persona the average fan might not be aware of, which is why The Spectrum has you covered.
If you've ever been at a UB Orientation Session or a Student Association-backed event, chances are you heard the term "diversity" tossed around at least a dozen times. You're going to hear it dozens more if you're planning on staying enrolled at UB.
