^With the 04 draft being weak< Frank Williams. They WON'T get Kobe. I forgot McDyess is free agent next year. Eisley is a good backup. Barbosa had a good game last night so there might be hope. Your right the Knicks is strap with big contracts but that wasn't new anyway. The Knicks will go to the playoffs no doubt. But, they won't go far into the playoffs.

Maybe the Suns knew what they were doing by trading Marbury because Barbosa scored 27 against the Bulls, but the Bulls won the game thou.

The Knicks made out like bandits. Starbury is the type of marquee player Knicks fans need. I don't think some of you guys seen Marbury play unselfish ball all of last season and I believe he's the 2nd best PG in the game right now. This deal puts them in the playoffs for sure. WTF the Suns were thinking? I know they want cap space but damn. McDyess 2nd stint in Phoenix he's a PF but the Suns franchise player is also PF wtf? The Suns should've gotten atleast Frank Williams instead of one of the PG's (Ward, Eisley) I think Frank can play.

I thought Immature was ok. I liked "I'll never lie again" Marques is Omarion's older brother thats why IMX(immature) was leeching off of B2K's push.

I Co-sign with Bruiser's comment. Anyway back to the subject, I got this off a rap site its a paraphase on Chuck D's take on the situation it which I agree with. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck D's Terrordome This moves me to the last point answering to the EMINEM debacle. In this game ain’t nobody an angel, however in any situation the rites of passage or the trail that got you there must be of some public record. This is beyond anything personal and it could be fair to accept it as such. In the past I’ve accepted EMINEM for skating over the crutch of ‘nigga-ism’ that so many young black folks are given like dog food to fuel their bites. Niggism was EMINEM’S kryptonite and he’s smart enough to know it. Always knew it, and in his quest to make it on the mike sniffed and licked the dog food. He might’ve spit it out, but never admitted going to the bowl. Thus a trust was based, but within a whole entirely different generation of hip hop cat early to mid nineties. It’s the ‘try anything goes for profit mentality’ that pardons EMINEM in the present generation and amerikkkan time. It’s the chaotic collective powerlessness of black folk 2003 that pardons EMINEM at this time. Although, from afar, I have liked EMINEM meeting him once in ATLANTA my evaluation is reversed to many of these cats. I know better to say I like somebody based on their art, movie, TV show or record. Saying I like somebody doesn’t mean I respect them, and this is beyond their skill or how much money they’ve got. I can’t say I respect EMINEM at all, I like DRE I can’t say I’ve respected him as much. Same with SNOOP, MASTER P, LUDA, R KELLY,THE SOURCE and many others. I happen to like them more than respect them, whereas they may feel more respect than like for me or my beliefs on things. And that’s fine I guess but like and respect are two different things. Respect only comes with integrity, and that’s not necessary to exist in today’s amerikkkan cultural world. I’ve always liked RUSSELL SIMMONS but my respect has never been there really fully. You either stand up for something or fall for anything and too often he’s stood four foot on kneepads. Doesn’t mean he’s not a nice guy. So this ain’t a thing of losing respect for EMINEM because I never had much of it anyway, and I’m not into a witch hunt thing of burying him, this rather is a test for black people in amerikkka. Blackfaces have been at the gate in this climate. SIMMONS, THE SOURCE and others have endorsed this attitude like a house slave watches the field yet eats from the kitchen. Blackfaces of these Negroes endorsing ‘nigga-ism’ are responsible for having the world look at us black people in America inferior to everyone else here. Negroes like this have used culture to, in essence, sell us back into slavery. Now after drinking from the same jug of ‘selling the integrity out’ they wanna point their crooked ass fingers at a white boy they’ve tried to sell this attitude to in the first place. FOURTEEN YEARS ago white corporations stood behind the façade of figuring out was this rap thing legit across the board, but really felt uncomfortable with the black movement of it all. As a world traveling rap outfit that dealt beyond the candy level of hip hop saying things that black men/artists weren’t supposed to say we dealt head to head with an international press on worldwide issues. Now the SOURCE, primarily David Mays and Benzino, wants to be concerned when they’ve profited off the dog food factory, and RUSSELL now says EMINEM should be forgiven for his rap sins. This is the same guy who led the campaign to toss GRIFF because of it affecting his white friend’s/business alliance’s feelings. Seriously they’re all full of sh*t, and cannot be trusted worth a damn. They’ve both endorsed this atmosphere and sound crazy taking either a pro or con side. EMINEM makes the most sense because he admits he fucked up, licking the dog food in the first place. And that still shouldn’t let him off the hook, but the rest of these assholes sound like fools. On top of this, with the acceptance of black men and women into the same NIGGAS and BITCHISMS that ushered into their nodding heads ten years back on a beat, what fight do we expect from slave minded folks? R KELLY is still king thus black women can’t even begin to address this because the BLACKman has shrunken either into a Negro slave, a nigger with no cause, or a rebel with a lobotomy. So OPRAH, ESSENCE and SISTER TO SISTER are only as strong as the man aside, and it’s flaccid as fuk.

This was last week news thou. Omarion the lead singer is in the hospital due some kind of illness that he needs surgery on his spine or something.

^and dont forget Frank Williams. He's starting play well now that he has minutes. So I expect that the Knicks trade Ward/Thomas pretty soon.

Yeah Shoop is gone as well, I think thats one of the reasons Jauron got fired because he was too loyal to Shoop. Shoop was way too conservative and sometimes horrible on play calling, like on the game on Sunday resulted from bad play calling on offense. I like Jauron, I thought he was a good coach but management didn't do its job by surrounding him with good enough talent. Hopefully, Jauron will coach again.

I could tell as soon as Moochie hit those two 3's in 4th to make 86-79, the Lakers was going give up the game. Overall, both the ABC games were pretty good, is Tom Tolbert gay or attracted to Shaq? This is 2nd time i've heard him mentioned that Shaq and how he gets aroused.

Im black and a rap fan so do you hate me? There isn't any outcry on the Em situation from other rappers except Benzino who just have it out for Em and others that associate with him. Im sure that most blacks don't go around ask for others to be "nice" to us because of slavery of our ancestors, we just want some respect like everyone else that all. You come off sounded like some kid that don't know nothing thats outside of his suburban surroundings.

"Because you let a Jew break up my crew ... get rid of that devil real simple; put a bullet in his temple..." Cube was referring to Eazy-E because Eazy was selling out the group to by letting Jerry Heller (jewish) being their manager. Eazy and Jerry basically screwing the rest of the group out of money. "Black Korea" was about how Koreans would set up their stores in black communities and didn't like or care about blacks but intrested in their money. Ask Cube now about those lyrics now, he'll say he was young and angry, basically what Em is saying about the tape.

Not to mention White People. Asians. Jews. Gays. And the list goes on... Naw, not jews because they usually own the record labels, don't want to rap bad about them or you end up getting dropped. But, I still feel that white rappers have more leeway as far as subject matter is concern. That they can get away with rapping about anything like raping their mothers and other shit like that a black rapper couldn't do so there is a double standard.

Anyone could make an arguement that black rappers do diss sistas as well, its funny that Benzino wants to throw on his cape and defend black women(he's not really defending them IMO) eventhough probably referred to black women as bitches on his records. As a black male I forgive Eminem for it people say alot of things that they don't mean. I doubt this will effect his sales since whites buy 80% of rap records anyway, he might not get any from black women thou.

I just hope it isn't no minstrel type shit.

And all this time I thought Mike was Catholic (sp?)

By CINDY ADAMS, BARRY BORTNICK and DAVID K. LI ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Email *Archives *Print *ReprintDecember 18, 2003 -- EXCLUSIVE The King of Pop is restyling himself Jacko X. Michael Jackson last night became a member of the Nation of Islam - and sources told The Post his religious changeover comes along with a shake-up of his personal staff. High-ranking members of the Nation of Islam have been working to bring Jackson into Rev. Louis Farrakhan's flock - and Jackson's conversion is now well-known in the NOI community. Exactly why Jackson converted wasn't clear to The Post's sources. But Fox News's Web site reported yesterday that Jackson's brother Jermaine, who converted to Islam in 1989, has been seeking to win favor with his more famous sibling, and has brought Farrakhan's chief of staff, Leonard F. Muhammad, into Jacko's inner circle as a "bodyguard." That's just one of many changes under way in Jackson's inner circle, sources said. Word of Jackson's religious conversion comes as prosecutors prepared to formally file charges against him in a California child-molestation case - and as authorities agreed to return Jackson's passport to him so he can travel to Great Britain this weekend. Jackson isn't expected to return until Jan. 6, lawyers said in court papers. Lawyers also agreed to put off Jackson's arraignment for five days, until Jan. 16. Jackson remains free on $3 million bail after he surrendered to authorities and was arrested on Nov. 20. Two days earlier, cops tore through Neverland, his amusement-park-style estate just outside Los Olivos, Calif., looking for evidence to back up molestation claims made by a 14-year-old boy. Although there's talk that some in Jackson's camp want to replace defense lawyer Mark Geragos, the high-priced Hollywood attorney appeared in firm control yesterday, and met privately in the afternoon with Santa Barbara County District Attorney Thomas Sneddon. Sneddon said he plans to file the charges personally this afternoon at the courthouse in Santa Maria, Calif. The King of Pop has vigorously denied the molestation claims. L.A. County social workers in February cleared Jackson of allegations he molested that boy. But former Santa Barbara County Sheriff Jim Thomas has said he believes the alleged Santa Barbara County molestation took place after the L.A. County probe. Yo, I didn't know Nation allowed homo's in.

The Bulls and Jay Williams are neogoiating (sp?) a buyout for his contract, so they can open up a roster spot. When Jay ready to play they'll be able get first crack to sign him.

Fuck Benzino, He has single handedly fucked up "The Source" creditbility. If he really wants to make a difference into whats wrong with rap he should go after label executives instead of Em. I hate when No name or failed rappers (Benzino) always want to feud with a top rapper to get attention.

I never seen him act before is he any good? He needs a side gig because Bad Boy is on its last legs.

Post Pictures? I wanted to post pictures but don't know how, Help?

NCJ I like the Jay-z quote btw. Anyway, I think Celtics made a trade if Davis get it together, lately he was playing unselfish ball before he got traded. The Bulls won last night with only 9 1/2 players, it would've been 10 but Eddie Robinson got hurt. Kendall Gill had a good game last night. Curry is out 2-4 Weeks with a bone bruise on his left knee. So the IL: Curry, Chandler, Pippen, Blount. Jay Williams is still on crutches, but he'll appear with the team on Saturday against the Cavs. Im starting to believe in Hinrich is a good player after all, and finally coming around offensively scoring.

The Neptunes Produced the Song, Raz.

thats what I did I tried to get a pic from yahoo and did the properties thing and it didn't work.

did i do this right? If so how do I keep the picture up.
