Live Tour unfolded over the course of some 3 hours on Friday night.On paper, F.O.R.C.E. (which stands for Frequencies of Real Creative Energy) indeed looked like it was the best of the package tours making the rounds this year in honor of the 50th anniversary of hip Hop.

The Roots set up shop first and then played house band basically the rest of the evening, setting the table for each new MC to take the stage.Of course, th...

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Erling Haaland scored a second-half hat trick as Manchester City extended its perfect start to the English Premier League with a 5-1 home victory over Fulham on Saturday.Two days after being named UEFA player of the year, Haaland’s treble helped City pull away from a Fulham team that drew at Arsenal last weekend and knocked Tottenham out of the League Cup in midweek.City took a first-half lead through Julian Alvarez before Tim Ream equalized for Fulham. The game then turned on a disputed goal for the hosts just before halftime that had Fulham fuming as it left the field for the break.Nathan Ake’s headed goal was allowed to stand even though Manuel Akanji stood in an offside position and in goalkeeper Bernd Leno’s field of vision as he jumped over the ball. City, and notably Haaland, made that goal less of a talking point with a dominant display after the break to secure another win for absent manager Pep Guardiola, who continues to recupe...
