You're welcome Ty.

Quick question: would you like that someone made fun of you insinuating you're a pedophile when it isn't true or when it has never been proven true? I still think that the fact that many comedians have made fun of it in the past doesn't make it any less offensive.

I didnt say he did it because he likes and respects MJ, I said comedians making fun of MJ doesnt mean they dont respect him. We cant be too sensitive in this world, people make fun of people everyday. I'm sure you would laugh if anyone took the piss out of Eminems problems, I have. I laughed when Aries Spears and others called WS "n bomb light", it doesnt mean I like FP any less than I did before laughing at the joke. Because thats what they are, jokes. With the MJ line in Just Lose It, it was a joke, like Brakes said way back at the begining of this thread, it's entertainment. It's not like Em came out and said "I think MJ is a paedophile", he just made a comedic remark in a comedic rap song. I just can't agree with you. I think there are certain limits that shouldn't be surpassed. "Will Smith don't gotta cuss in his raps to sell records, well I do so **** him and **** you too", that's a joke. The moment when MJ loses his nose in the video, that's a joke. But when he is sitting on a bed with boys dancing around him... man, that can't be considered a joke. It's not only a comedy remark in one of his comedic rap songs. That's a personal attack. That's a big insult. I find it offensive, and MJ found it offensive, obviously: Jackson said he finds the video "offensive" and "demeaning," according to spokesperson Raymone Bain. "The entire video is inappropriate; it's not just one thing," Bain said. "He is very disappointed, he is very angry. It's one thing for there to be a spoof, it's another to be insensitive and disrespectful. It crossed the line." Source: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1492209/20041012/eminem.jhtml Was he supposed to laugh with it? I think you can't see how important and serious this is. Of course comedians can do/say what they want, but they will have to pay the consequences. Not everything should be allowed. This just can't be justified. Definitely, this is not what I call "entertainment".

That doesn't make it any better either. And I wouldn't call that just a joke, it's much more serious than that for me, a total lack of respect, especially because MJ was never declared guilty of those charges. Do you think Em did this because he likes and respects MJ? Excuse me, but that doesn't make any sense. My point is, when they say "Em's the greatest", who are they comparing him with if he's the only rapper they listen to? That's all. I just can't understand what people see in this clown, but oh well. To each his own.

BW, I got a question. You asked me if I'd criticize a comedian for making fun of someone. Does that mean I have to laugh with him? Does that mean I have to like everything that comedian says? For example, did you find funny the way Em dissed MJ in 'Just Lose It'? Come here little kiddies, On my lap Guess who's back with a brand new rap? And I don't mean rap as in a new case of child molestation accusation (HA-HA-HA-HA-HA) No worries, papa's got a brand new bag of toys What else could I possibly do to make noise? I done touched on everything, but little boys That's not a stab at Michael That's just a metaphor, I'm just psycho I go a little bit crazy sometimes I get a little bit out of control with my rhymes Personally, I found it pretty offensive and disrespectful. BTW, a personal opinion: when teenagers with no Hip Hop knowledge say things like "Eminem is the greatest rapper ever", I don't think they're saying that because they appreciate his skills as a rapper. It's just that he has catchy songs that people seem to love. They find his lyrics very cool because he swears a lot and attacks who he wants. They just love that style, Eminem's style, but from my point of view he's just looking for attention. Sorry, I had to share this. My next post will be "'Relapse' is not on the same level as 'The Slim Shady LP' & 'The Marshall Mathers LP'" :laugh:

Agreed!

Not sure if you guys have read this: http://www.jackiechan.com/blog/699269--My-Time-in-America--Opera-School-Reunion

I know what you mean, but when they say things like "Em is the best rapper of all time" or "Em is the only white guy that can rap", then the first word that comes to my mind is "overrated". Fatnaldo, good one :pound:

Haha! I just wanted to talk about Schumi's return. There won't be a Hamilton-Alonso debate this time, I promise :laugh: PS: I'm glad Massa is OK. I wish him all the best.

Jason Mraz - I'm Yours

Ok, fair enough. But, apply the same situation to football. Ask a young teenage kid who George Best (Zidane for some of them probably as well) is an he probably wouldnt know, ask him who C.Ronaldo is and he'd know, and would probably think he is the best player. Does that make CR7 overrated? I think with Eminem its more, some peoples lack of knowledge means they are ignorant to other artists, as opposed to overrating Em. Because for all we know, even if they had the full knowledge, they could still rank Em as the best ever. Just as a friend of mine (a rapper called Preest) who has a bigger knowledge of hip hop than me, but still ranks Em in his top 5 lyricists of all time. So I personally think its more about ignorance than overrating. I think C. Ronaldo is overrated, and he's playing on my team now. That doesn't mean he isn't a good player, of course, but he isn't definitely the best. You can be good and overrated. That's what happens with Eminem IMO. I've always said he's a great lyricist, but that doesn't mean the content of his songs isn't wack, or that many of them are just ridiculous. His stupid voice doesn't help either. A good rapper is more than a good lyricist. And he isn't CR7 anymore! Now he's CR9 :laugh:

A season that has already produced more than its fair share of thrills and spills just got even more exciting after it was confirmed on Wednesday that Michael Schumacher is to make a sensational comeback for Ferrari as temporary cover for the injured Felipe Massa. He's back: seven-time F1 world champion Michael Schumacher will replace Felipe Massa for Ferrari until the end of the season Photo: AP Provided the 40-year-old seven-time world champion can prove his fitness - and the German is a man who prides himself on his conditioning - he will line up against reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton for the very first time at the European Grand Prix in Valencia on Aug 23. The announcement, which will have Ferrari's hardcore tifosi drooling, came just 24 hours after the German driver's manager, Willi Weber, said he was "200 per cent sure" his client would not race in Valencia. That bold prediction was made to look rather foolish at about 6pm on Wednesday. "Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro intends to entrust Michael Schumacher with Felipe Massa's car until the Brazilian driver is able to race again," Ferrari announced on its website. "Michael Schumacher has shown his willingness and in the next few days he will undergo a specific programme of preparation at the end of which it will be possible to confirm his participation in the championship starting with the European Grand Prix." The question is: why? Schumacher, who most certainly does not need the money, said as recently as three weeks ago that he had no intention of making a comeback in a sport he bestrode like a colossus for 15 seasons. And as Weber pointed out, the most successful F1 driver of all time, a man with 91 grand prix wins to his name, is not one to settle for second best. "When Michael was racing he would get as close to perfection as possible," Weber said on Tuesday. "In this case, it would not be perfection; it would be a gamble - and that's not Michael's style." Schumacher clearly has other ideas. Although he said his decision was inspired by a sense of duty to a team for whom he still acts as an advisor following Massa's horrific crash during qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix last weekend, he admitted that he was also motivated by the challenge of competing against a new generation of drivers in a new machine. "It is true that the Formula One chapter has long been closed for me but for team loyalty reasons I can't ignore this unfortunate situation," Schumacher said of his close friend Massa, who is expected to miss the rest of the season despite his rapid recovery from a life-threatening skull fracture. "The most important thing first: thank God, all news concerning Felipe is positive, and I wish him all the best again. "This afternoon I met with team principal Stefano Domenicali and Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo and together we decided that I will prepare myself to take the place of Felipe. "As the competitor I am, I also very much look forward to facing this challenge." The subtext was clear; with Ferrari beginning to look as if they are capable of challenging for race wins for the first time this year, Schumacher clearly believes he can add to his incredible tally of victories. And with McLaren's Hamilton having notched his first victory of 2009 in Budapest last weekend, the mouth-watering prospect of their first-ever showdown awaits in Valencia, a race which produced a distinct lack of fireworks on its debut last year. And what effect might Schumi have on Jenson Button's world title bid? How ironic would it be if he cost his old technical director Ross Brawn, now spearheading Brawn GP's march to glory, the constructors' championship? The whole season has just been given a fresh twist - as if it needed it. First Schumacher must prove his fitness. Since retiring in 2006 he has occasionally taken part in motorcycle events and in February he suffered neck and back injuries in a bike accident. His spokeswoman Sabine Kehm warned on Tuesday that those injuries could affect his ability to drive an F1 car which places huge pressures on the neck because of the varying G-forces. However, when the German sets his sights on something, he has an enviable record of achieving it and with the four-week mid-season break stretching ahead of him, he has plenty of time to shed a few pounds. Massa's recovery from a life-threatening skull fracture, meanwhile, continues to go swimmingly. The Brazilian left intensive care and walked around his bed on Wednesday for the first time since his crash. His private doctor, Dino Altmann, also allayed fears over eye damage said he was certain Massa would be able to race again. Until then, it's Schumi-time. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/motorsport/formulaone/ferrari/5933916/Michael-Schumacher-returns-to-Formula-One-with-Ferrari.html

Yeah, bringin' back the old good times :laugh: The movies I was talking about aren't blockbusters, but oh well...

In my opinion, no. You ask a teenager with no Hip Hop knowledge who is Rakim and he doesn't know. You ask that teenager who is Eminem and he knows it, or maybe the only Rap album he owns is the '8 Mile' soundtrack. That teenager will say that Eminem is the best rapper ever, without even being able to name more than 5 rappers. Now change that teenager for millions, and you'll see the impact Em has made. Eminem is a showman. Why would I take him seriously?

Then I could say you think he isn't overrated because you like him :laugh: Eminem is probably the most popular MC in the world. He sells alot, while others as good as him don't get the recognition he gets.

Its all entertainment Ale! Would you criticise a comedian for making fun of someone? Yes, especially when that comedian himself is a joke. Eminem has made a career of this.

I think people overrate Em too much, even when he makes poor songs like this.

Oh yeah.. welcome back crybaby.

Happy B-day dude! I'll be listening to your album all day today :)

Happy Birthday "French" Prince!!! ;)

Exactly. His movies are monotone. They all look the same to me. When will we see Denzel in a comedy? I think people would like him more if he played different roles, different genres. I'm sure he could do a comedy if he wanted to, but he hasn't tried it yet.

Nice trailer. Looks promising. Is this movie based on the 'Fallout 3' game? Because it's identical... That's a bit exaggerated IMO. I like Denzel. I think he's an excellent actor, but I wouldn't consider him better than other great actors like Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson, Marlon Brando, Paul Newman or Tom Hanks, just to name a few. I don't consider him worse than them either. But while the actors I mentioned have given brilliant performances throughout their careers and have an incredible filmography full of unforgettable titles which are part of the history of cinema, I'd say Denzel's movies are, in general, mediocre. Again, don't get me wrong. Denzel is an excellent actor, but I wouldn't say he's the best ever. In fact, I believe the best actor ever doesn't exist. There are many candidates for that, and each of them is as good as the rest.

Now, I've seen it all... :boxedin: :boxedin: :boxedin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUgyzag6fUM
