Why should he return? Why? Isn't he like one back bump from being the next Chris Reeves.

The three best I can think of by an artist set up music label:
Bad Boy: Netting Combs around 450 Million dollars.
Roc-a-fella: Is making near 1 billion in total sells a year.
Aftermath: Over 50 million records sold.
No Limit and Cash Money might be crap rap, but they are rich business. Master P having over 400 million dollars and Baby around 250 million.

I was Demolition and I owned that game, I even did the Decapation a few times too. But for the Rumble, Warrior was the best, so bad ass to play as.

It is in Hartford, I believe it is a SD PPV too, so I will pass. Even though I could go to this one.

Rob, they can't look without a warrant or you agreeing. So you can keep an uzi and you have nothing to worry about, unless they have a valid reason like you dumping something that looks like drugs into the car in their face.

Drums and I am a DJ so of course the turntables(if you want to count that, most non hip-hop fans don't).

Mine is over three years olds:
1.5Ghz, 256 MB Ram, DVD-Rom, CD-RW, 70 gigs of Hard drive, and this PC is STILL TOO slow for shit I have. Paintshop 8 almost crashes it each time I use it. Metal of Honor and Sim City can only be played after I reboot the damn machine.
The one I am buying soon enough:
3.5 GHz P4, 1gig of Ram, DVD-RW, CD-RW, 80 gigs of Ram, and it will be either a Dell or a Gateway. Fuck HP

An Idea just popped into my head. How about getting a chat room, on this server or off of it(which would be better) then force all chat threads(RAW/SD/PPVs/TNAs/Heat/ect.) on to those rooms and not onto the board, thus saving on connections, thus making the place run faster durring peak times. Like if this was done durring WMXX, the board wouldn't have died when 500 people popped on to say YEA BENOIT IS GOD~!
Programs start from Free to about 300 bucks, so atleast wouldn't hurt to look.

195 sucks ass. Between New Haven and NYC it is just so fucking slow as hell to drive, more like a parking lot.
The Marriot[15] isn't much better either, some times its faster to drive on the post road.

Last game in Madden I played I scored 48 alone in INTs and Punt Returns. it is too easy, to make any stats build on offense, you have to run into a defender and force a tackle.
Madden is just too easy to go long for a touch down. Play with either a Vick like player or a Moss like player, no team can stop you.

Well, the BET Awards didn't happen yet, so he didn't do anything. The last major black award show was Soul Train where he did You Saved Me(corrected).

Lets see:
Cosby thinks ALL inner-city kids are thugs who can't speak and are either going to sing-sing or a wood box. This isn't true, there are two kinds of people in the inner city. One is a group that tries to make their life better by hard work and education. And those that do not give a fuck and want the easy way out. People, people, lets not label all blacks on this level.
Talking black is just a fucking retarded thing to say. Urban-minority slang in Cali is an offical language dubbed ebonics. MTV had a whole show on the different speeches of people in areas of this country. Not every black person says "blood", "Dawg", or "(word)-izzle". Not everyone who is black speaks the same as they do in Cali. And let me guess, a person is speaking black saying "yo, this bitch is thick. Trick is pro like Rio. Felt like skeeting all over her ass". So speaking white is this: "I can't believe how good this girl looked. She did have a lot of sex with a lot of men as if she was some prono star. I felt like lusting after her and finishing on to her very good looking body". That is a joke. There isn't a race way of talking.
Now for slang and the on and off stwich. Everyone has it, not everyone uses it. Just because some moron doesn't turn theirs off, doesn't mean the whole race is that way....aw fuck it.
This could turn into another one of those "Race threads and labeling white posters racist again". Lets NOT go there.

I think he did the same song he did at the Soul Train awards. The song was called "Heven helped Me"
-
Depending on the bar, the songs to go for:
Hip-Hop/RnB/Rap place: Will Smith - Summertime, Biz - Just A Friend, Michael Jackson
Rock and all its heavier/softer sub-genre's: AC/DC will NEVER fail, Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park for having easier to remember Lyrics.
Pop: Queen, The Jacksons, AC/DC, and Nsync ALL favorites

I wouldn't be suprised if all but Dylan and Fred get signed up into solo projects.

Car is dead on. Both are stealing in a sense. The person should go to them and tell they got the check twice. Once you get a single paycheck, both deals are done. The second you get another, it is fraud if you cash it, unless you cash it as soon as you get it and then turn around and give them money back so they don't contact legal. Major comps like Pitney Bowes has done this, small mom and pop stores done this, the IRS has done this, it is human error. But it is illegal to profit off the mistakes of someone in payroll.

"Rage Against the Machine is a regge group beccause the lead singer has dreds".
"Run DMC is a rock group because they had a few songs with riffs in them."
I can say dumb shit too with the slightest bit of truth squashed by bullshit. KoRn is nothing more than a nu-metal band. Not to say that all nu-metal is bad, but they are a nu-metal band. KoRn helped spawn groups like Linkin Park, not follow the lead of Nirvana.

Papacita and TSA both need to get nods in this.

Fine.....

11 to 16 year old girls buy more CDs than ANY other group out there. Hence the sells of Backstreet, Nsync, Britney, Christina, and O-Town.
Da Band is a rather stupid name.
National TV does not equal buys(look at Judgement Day for an example). People who watch the show might not go out and buy something. If they had a third Video(the Wyclef track) they would have broke a million. Not many sells for new artist comes off of Two singles. Some people generally go by the three song rule. Still 800K is a hell of a lot of sells.
-
Outkast is the second biggest selling act of last year, behind 50 Cent. BOTH are crossover artist. Eminem is the king of crossover rap, and 50 Cent hanging around him aided in his sells.
Outkast sold on the song "Hey Ya". That is the song to sell so much, white people love Andre, they don't really give a shit about Big Boi. This is the reason Vh1 kept playing "Hey Ya" over "The Way You Move".
As for not strong first albums, Jay Z doubled his sells of his first CD reasonable doubt AFTER his second CD was out. Nobody wasn't bumbing him until he dropped "Who You Wit" and Nas didn't sell a million until his THIRD CD dropped, he rerelased the album to get its sells like that.
LL Cool J and Run DMC both are MAJOR rap acts didn't sell a million on either of their first two CDs.
Now on the Rap/Hip Hop/RnB thing:
RnB is one of the older styles of music out there, older than rock and roll. Umtempo blues with a edgier jazz sound was played in black clubs in the 40s and 50s. Soon white people started to really like the sound and do it as well. When TV came out, they dubbed it Rock and Roll. But it was Country Rock(Elvis and the like) and RnB Rock(Chuck Berry and Early Motown). The RnB we know it started in the 60s from two styles, Motown Pop and Deep Soul. Soul music is now the style of ALL current ballads and Mary J's tracks. Motown like Pop is currently like Beyounce. Anyways: These two styles of RnB also had a third style called Funk music spring in the 70s of rock music with soul style. The mixture of Funk music with Urban culture lead to the music genre of Rap. Rap music today is one of the biggest(if not , the biggest) selling genres out there.
Hip Hop isn't really a genre it is a urban culture. The whole style of dress, slang, tagging, music, and cars are all elements of Hip Hop. ALOT of people (MAINLY MTV and BET) use Hip Hop and Rap interchangeably. But they aren't the same. Rap music is part of Hip Hop. Modern Urban RnB music is part of it. But the two are different beast. Jagged Edge and 112 are RnB groups that are heavily into the Hip Hop Style(growing up in it) but are not rap groups.
Next problem people have these days: Selling Gold is great for a new artist. Selling that many is a real good thing. People these days are ready to scream an ablum failed if it doesn't get diamond. Jacko's last CD "only" sold 2.5 million, which most artist cream for. Mariah last CD two sold a few million a piece(Rainbow 3 million and Glitter2.2 million) but these three CDs are consider bombs. No other CD is going to be selling 58 million any time soon(only done once with Jacko's Thriller). Da Band sold 800K which is quite good.

Compare RAP to RAP since Pop sells will generally top any other kind of sells.
Eminem is white, he sold half on that the other half on Dre. He said he himself.
Biggie was called the future of Rap and was giving the Jesus push by Puffy. Puff wasn't dumb with this one, and it came out to be a hot CD so its 4 million sold is worth it(really 2 and another 2 after he was killed). His second CD was great and sold well(mainly because he was killed two weeks before it was to drop).
Mase was Puffy's next golden boy. He also had a great CD with alot of hype going into it.
112 is an RnB group, their firist CD was good but they didn't get the full hype the album could do.
Da Band had two singles relased with limited air play in Puffy's home market. That isn't going to help sells. Plus it wasn't a crossover album. Rap albums that crossover sell like crazy(Jay Z, Nelly, ect ect). When it is a strickly a minoritiy ubran market getting sells, it won't have the X millions you expect.
Look at Lil Jon's CD, it didn't really sell until his crossover hit.
As for using Britney( one of the biggest selling females of all time), Avril(who had a whole year of crap and gaa-gaa over her), Norah Jones(who gets blown as one of the greatest out now), and Eminem (who is the rap version of Elvis) it doesn't help your point well, try with other acts first.

Not every artist is like Jay-Z or Prince and drop a new CD every 9 months like a knocked up whore.
As for the show:
The first CD wasn't bad, I heard it and it does have 5 good tracks on it, selling over gold for a first CD is great. Joe Budden is supposed to be the future of rap and only sold 300K. The problems were shown on the show. They just didn't expect what will come with the fame. It was sad and funny at the same time.
Da Band members go as follows:
Ness - Will have a major career overtime, he has talent and drive.
Babs - Teamed with Ness, she will shine. By herself, her career will match Mc
Lyte. And if you don't know who that is, that further proves my point.
Sara - In a few years, will have a career, still on Bad Boy, just when she is focused and ready for it.
Chopper - Will get picked up by No Limit or Cash Money and will have an ok career.
Fred - His career is OVER!
Dylon - If he doesn't go to jail, he could suprise everyone with a career but at the same time could have his career over as of last night.
As for others talked about in this thread:
O-Town split over many issues, one being management(EVERYONE wants to leave Lou Perlman). Kelly Clarkson is working on a new CD. Justin would have sold if his CD didn't come out almost a year after he was a hot seller. Clay out sold Ruban for the fact his was out first and his target group is almost grown up pop music.
first album you ever bought.
