Shit, the HS I went to didn't have a shot clock neither, but c'mon you got to play the game especially when your a 2-8 team.

^ Come on!!!! If Em manipulating Pac's voice to have him give shout outs to Em and G-Unit isn't exploiting? I don't know what is. Its one thing aftermath/shady/G-Unit making guest appearances like Pac is a fellow member. The only reason why Pac's mom gave Em to go ahead to produce the album because he did it for free, which i'll give Em credit for that. But I still say Em is exploiting Pac.

I refuse to listen to the album, because of Eminem exploiting Pac is sickens me and also Em's is garbage as producer.

I didn't see a thread on this which is kind of surprising. Anyway, I did get a chance to see it, and Ricky is all hippied out now with the beard and shit. He said that football made him unhappy and he didn't want face the public because he smoked herb. He's not homeless, he lives in a modest house, He doesn't feel the need to apologize to his teammates or fans. Mike Wallace was basically ridiculing him for quitting and walking away from millions. He's happy with himself and money doesn't drive him. Ricky also brought up a good point about when was it ok for him retire, was it ok for him to retire after his body is all banged up, at the end of the interview Wallace predicted and Bet that Ricky will be back to play football because Ricky would eventually need the money. -My 2 copper Lincoln's: Good for Ricky, if thats what he wants to do, so be it. I think the media gives him somewhat unfair treatment. It was okPat Tillman walk away from millions to do what was best for him, but its wrong Ricky to do the same thing.

I like the belt, I feel gold jewelry is old and played out, with silver its shines better gets some begets on that belt and people will get blind by it, Cena should've gotten a battery controlled spinner instead manually spinning the belt.

Thats messed up. Im glad his pops got clean. I remembered Agee Jr running a basketball camp at the college I used to go to a couple of years ago.

Kobe thought he had street cred when he played at the Rucker for one summer.

To me Aesop comes off trying too hard to be abstract, I wouldn't consider him a rapper. Im not a fan of so called "Suburban Rap" as a whole.

Whats the fascination with Aesop Rock? That dude is garbage.

I feel guilt looking at kiddie porn. But she is attractive thou.

Bulls win in a blowout which is different for them. I've notice all of their 3 wins came on a Wednesday. Its good Chandler has been playing well of late despite being unskilled.

I wish that I seen Lil Jon on Rap City, and Tigger got him in the booth to bust a freestyle which I've been told that it consist of Lil Jon saying: OK, YEAH. His verse on "Lovers and Friends" was really funny as hell. SHAWTY!!!

And it'll win. Unfortnately, and Nas "Street Disciple" probably won't get nominated. I think Nelly and LL shouldn't even be nominated, The Roots should've defintely should a got a nod.

For the record: Lil Jon is not a rapper, he even says it himself in interviews. He producer that does the "Call and Response" Dj method. Im not a big fan of crunk music but I can tolerate it when im at a club.

Im not feeling Cam like I used to, he started changing after he went platinum, he got lazy with his lyrics but usually the production carries him now.

^Not necessarily, as long as Jay doesn't screw artists (which have been Def Jam's reputation lately) he should get props for. I wonder what Dame Dash is going to do now that the ROC is not 100% his anymore.

I hate when people use Hip Hop as a scapegoat for their problems. Wilborn is talking out of his asshole on this one.

I think the Bulls need to start holding Skiles accountable for the loses now.

I've read alot Technique's Quotables, I think dude has some skills, too bad he won't have an album in stores.

I don't have the double album yet, but i've heard this is close to a 5 mic album. Only song i've heard was the "Bridging the Gap" song with his pops that is blues player. Any thoughts?

"White Tee's" by Dem Franchise Boyz "Knuck If ya Buck" Crime Mob "Lose It" Eminem

I've been mentioning Royce for the longest on this board and people tend to ignore me, but its good that some of ya'll dig Royce. As for the Nas album I would give it a 4.5 Mics and I think the Disc 1 is better than Disc 2 because Disc 2 has more filler than 1.

I haven't heard "The New Danger" but most rap heads say that its more of Blackjack Johnson album.

^ Yea, I like this album it would've been better if it was a single album. American Way, These Our Heroes, Just a Moment, Reason, and Virgo, are my favorite tracks. I also like how each song especially on the 2nd disc has some continunity to them. The Production is great all around IMO, like you said Answer, Salaam Remi, L.E.S, Q-tip, and Nas himself did a good job. I don't think most people of TSM would like because the album doesn't really have any commercial tracks to get them into the album.

I liked Fat Albert as a kid, so I might check it out.
