Joe Budden Answers Drake"s "No Shopping" Diss With "Afraid"

Joe Budden Answers Drake"s "No Shopping" Diss With "Afraid"

Drake seems to be answering the call from Joe Budden"s two previous diss tracks, and a series of trolling tweets from the New Jersey spitter. After premiering his song "No Shopping" featuring French Montana on OVO Sound Radio earlier this evening, the saga continues as Budden wasted no time to strike back at Drake with released his third diss track titled "Afraid" attacking the 6 G*d in perfect timing.

The image of the single"s cover depicts an inferno with smoke billowing from the building that Drake sits atop on his Views album cover. Also, the track samples Drake"s "The Resistance" off his debut album Thank Me Later, and flips Drake"s sung chorus. Budden also takes the time to shout out Complex in the song, and delivers bars like "This kinda standard that you couldn"t meet/This from your views you probably couldn"t see."

This is starting to heat up, and at least this summer Drake doesn"t have to wait for four days to get a response. Rather, he got less than four hours to hear from his newfound troll ready for battle. Listen to "Afraid" below.

Mystery poster campaign calls for martial law in Pakistan

Police Seeking to Enact Martial Law

(NBC NEWS) Posters calling on Pakistans powerful army chief to impose martial law are mysteriously popping up across the country, raising eyebrows in the notoriously coup-prone and nuclear-armed nation.

Talking about leaving is outdated, for Gods sake just come [take over] now! declared the posters reported to be appearing in major cities including Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Sargodha, Faisalabad, Quetta and Karachi.

The banners were first seen on on Monday. They feature the mustachioed face of popular Gen. Raheel Sharif, who is set to step down in November after three years as army chief.

According to the posters, the campaign is sponsored by Move On Pakistan, a political party.

Journalists across the country also received mysterious text messages urging a military takeover during the holy month of Ramadan, which ended July 6.

Baton Rouge police shooting updates: Authorities say 1 suspect killed, may be others

Reports of Multiple Officers Shot in Baton Rouge, Louisiana (Early Reports)

Life had just begun to slowly return to normalcy for Tanya Sterling, the cousin of Alton Sterling, after his funeral on Friday at Southern University in Baton Rouge, La.

Then, on Sunday, she heard the news from her mother of the police shooting. More officers shot dead, this time, not far from her home.

She was shocked, angry and saddened.

"It seems like after Alton"s death, so much has been going on dealing withpolice and killing other police officers. So much chaos. So much is happening," said Sterling, 25.

"I hate that it was my cousin who passed. I hate that it was him who died and for all this to have happened. I wish that none of this happened."

Alton Sterlingwas sellingCDs in front of a convenience store inBaton Rouge on July 5 when police responded to reports of an armed man threatening people. During the confrontation, police fatally shot the 37-year-old father of five.

At her cousin"s funeral, one of the prayers Tanya Sterling had offered was "for peace in protesting," she said.

It was unclear who the latest shooting"s suspects were or whether they were involved in any of the sometimes heated protests in the city.

Still, Sterling said, she was again making prayers on Sunday morning. "Peaceful protesting, please," she said. "Peaceful protesting."

Pokemon Go down: How to try and fix app when it"s not working

POKEMON GO - LIVE - update Server is down

Pokmon Go is down almost all the time. But here are some tips for trying to get it back up.

The hugely successful game has struggled since it was launched under the pressure of its massive popularity.

Catch all of our latest Pokemon Go coverage

That hasn"t been helped by reported intentional attacks on the game"s servers, which have seen malicious people send huge amounts of requests in an attempt to bring down the game.

Developer Niantic has promised to make the game more stable, and has stopped it being rolled out across the world until it is fixed. But neither seems to have fixed the game yet.

Sometimes it will be down entirely, and if you try these tips and find the app doesn"t load properly repeatedly, then it might be worth giving up for a while.

But here are some things worth trying.

1)Get your timing right

There are certain times when it"s impossible to get on, and others when it"s far better. They seem mostly to correlate with when people in the US are playing, and presumably putting more load on the servers. That means that you"ll find it far easier, in the UK and Europe, to play in the morning and early afternoon local time; once 3 or 4 o"clock comes around, and people in the US start having their lunch breaks, the game becomes mostly inaccessible.

Try WiFi when you can. The problems are mostly with Niantic"s servers, it seems, and so the speed of your connection shouldn"t theoretically matter. But anecdotally it does seem easier to get on when on WiFi, presumably because all-important delays are avoided.

3) Know when to close the app

If the game doesn"t load quickly, it probably won"t load. The two initial loading screens can hang and go slowly when the game isn"t working properly, but they"ll usually load in less than a minute. It seems that if the game is taking an unusual amount of time to get through them, you"re probably not going to get through. In those situations it"s best to close the game entirely, by shutting it from the multitasking screen on your phone and then try again.

And conversely, if you"re on, you"re on. If you manage to make it through to two important screens, then there"s far less chance you"ll be kicked off. At times of high demand, you"ll find some things load slowly Pokstops might be inaccessible, and Pokmon might not appear but the game will keep you online and so it"s worth just leaving it open.

4) Know your icons

The spinning Pokball in the top left corner mostly means that the game isn"t working, not that it is. This icon is meant to be a loading message, meaning the same as the whirring circles you"ll get on other apps. But since the game doesn"t actually have to load much when it"s working, the fact you"re seeing it is probably a bad sign. If it starts popping up a lot, hold on, because your game is probably about to break down. (Not that there"s anything you can do.)

If it does stop working, check the journal to see how much of your activity has been saved. Clicking on the Pokball at the bottom of the screen will let you bring up the journal, which has a full timeline of everything you"ve been up to. From there you can see where your activity stopped saving and whether or not you missed out on that last Pokmon.
