The Pistons stole game one, everyone's shocked but not me 'cause I think this year's NBA Finals is gonna be the best since the Bulls vs. Jazz in the late '90s. It seemed that Shaq and Kobe were the only Lakers that scored last night 'cause of that furocious D. People say that the mailman Karl Malone is too old at 40 but I beg to differ 'cause I think that he's capable of steppin' up and having a big game since he's hungry for that ring, Gary Payton should pound that ball into Malone at the paint as well as Shaq 'cause Malone has been proven to be a dominant inside player, but they need Shaq to box out Rasheed Wallace and Ben Wallace so the guards could get better shots. The Pistons are ready to shock the world 'cause they're playing more aggressive, but I'm ready to see the Lakers match that intensity so that way the series goes seven games. I feel bad that former Bull Horace Grant is injured for the Lakers, people overlook him but he has been a very physical inside player in his career like Charles Oakley and Dennis Rodman and he played well when Malone was on the injured list, but then he got hurt! :tear: It ain't no big deal for him 'cause he has more rings than the entire Pistons roster! :rock: I can't wait 'till game two!

Nice analysis Jim! It's gonna be one hell of a game seven, I hope that it goes to overtime! :rock:

Well at least Petey Pablo released 2 albums on Jive records, how many albums did Tra-Knox release, none.

I say Tampa Bay 'cause they're playing at home and they're reppin' the US!

Happy B-Day! I hope ur doin' somethin' fun right now! :afro: :peace:

Well in the US it ain't that much better but at least there's props given to Kanye West by a great story in Vibe magazine and they consider Chicken and Beer to be mediocre, but Jay-Z has been gettin' more props and a lot of peopole are sad that he's retiring, but I'm glad that he is 'cause The Black Album shows that his skills are detierating and what's so great about "99 Problems"(the lyrics make no sense and that video is depressing, the only thing that's a'ight is the beat by Rick Rubin, the REAL hip-hop legend, if it wasn't for him, there wouldn't be Jay-Z)!! :cussing: It looks like no matter where you go, the state of hip-hop is down, Kanye is underrated! :tear:

Well since I live by the boardwalk, I like to chill at the boardwalk, so I like the 1st few dates in getting to know the girl by hanging out there, talking, playing games to win her a prize, then go down to the beach and watch the sunset 'cause I'm a romantic guy! :thumb:

It doesn't make any sense, Petey Pablo is kinda wack, and those artists you mentioned are the best that's out right now, so I don't get it either.

Ain't Alicia Keys on J Records, she gets good promotion, but I don't think the rappers Busta Rhymes and Wyclef Jean did that well with their albums on J Records. :dunno:

I think Shaq said a couple years ago that he wasn't gonna rap again until his NBA career is over 'cause he doesn't have any time to do shows since he plays basketball all the time, but I don't think that he'll rap again 'cause he said recently that he wants to be a policeman when he retires from the NBA, he's like Will though 'cause he's multitalented. I don't think any other NBA players should try rappin' 'cause they suck at it! Slick Rick's gonna be in a videogame? That's dope!

[quote=Hero1,Jun 3 2004, 10:40 PM]i really cant think of a label that supports ol skool rap artists at the moment..which is probably why will hasnt signed with anyone yet...[/quote] That's so true man. Even Def Jam hasn't been giving LL and Slick Rick the respect they deserve over the recent years it seems and DMX admitted how Def Jam has been scamming artists over contracts when he was in The Bassment wit Big Tigger on BET last year. A lot of record labels are more concerned over making money than respecting their artists!

I give much props to Prince and DevilsJim for beating me and Joe, y'all stepped it up, the battle could have one either way 'cause it was a tough one, good luck in the finals! I was feeling the other battle too, I thought that was gonna end up a tie it was so tight, much props to BadBoys and Wild Wild Willenium for winning that battle as well as DJSilverTiger and FrshPrnceCharming for putting up a tough fight! There are no losers here 'cause everyone's flow was tight! I'll be back in the next battle, you can mark that down already 'cause this is ill! Peace! :rock: :peace:

Hey is the voting period almost up? I'm excited to see who won! We started this battle round about a week ago! :dunno:

Dope Remixes, they make the song sound better!

[quote=mfuqua23,Jun 2 2004, 06:33 PM][/quote] Word. I swear I would have beeen better growin up in the 80s. I'd fit wit all the rappers like Will and 2pac and alll those really good ones, that no one pays attention 2 now. I can't wait 4 Will's album.[/quote] I feel the same way too 'cause my rap style is a lot like the ol' school rappers and nothin' like these wack rappers today are talkin' about. I personally don't know where I'd fit in if I tried to get a record deal 'cause I already know they'd try to change my image. Hip-hop, hell, music in general has been going down the toilet more and more every year, all you gotta do is have a nice ass and you have a record deal! :cussing:

Happy B -Day Y'all! :rock:

[quote=bigted,May 4 2004, 06:40 PM]My picks are: #1-Miami wins tonight #2-Pistons sweep Nets #3-Pacers beat Heat in 7 #4-Lakers over Spurs in 6 #5-Wolves over Kings in 7 #6-Pistons over Pacers in 6 #7-Lakers over Wolves in 5 #8-Lakers beat Pistons in 7(Bad Boys vs. Showtime in Finals all over again)[/quote] As y'all can see my picks came out pretty damn good! :dancingcool: Maybe I should get a job on ESPN.

Do y'all think the Pistons stand a chance in the Finals against the Lakers? I think it'll be a great series but unfortunately the Lakers'll win again! At least Karl Malone will get his ring, I feel bad for Reggie Miller though after the Bulls beat the Pacers all those years.

Cool shirt, I think I'll buy one! :dancingcool:

That's off the hook! :thumb: :rock: I wish that I knew about the show 'cause I would have tried to go since I don't live that far from New York. That's great to hear about Will performing again, I hope he does a tour this summer!

Will should be a guest on the Dave Chapelle Show on comedy central! :dancingcool:

SNL has been a bunch of bull**** lately like a lot of things on the pop scene so that's not a good look for Will to host this crappy show!

When I bought the album and I first listened to the song I was like "Damn, Will's really comin' strong wit his rhymes" but as I heard the rest of the album it was mostly love songs except for "Act Like You Know","Block Party", and "As The Beat Goes", and "Nod Ya Head"(they're party tracks). The tracks though were tight and it was an experiment by putting Tra-Knox on the entire album, so I give Will credit for doing something different, but if he had more tracks on that album like "Born To Reign" and less songs with Tra-Knox on it, the album would have been a multiplatinum hit like "Big Willie Style"(that album had a lot of balance). I enjoyed the album though, if this new album has more aggressive tracks(plus more Jazzy Jeff and less Tra-Knox) then it'll be a huge hit!

Once again it's my turn at the plate, I'm just set to burn cats off the stage You'll get overexerted for my rap flame, No one feels your act today I'm raining all over your wack parade, if you bust on my appeal you'll pass away My innovation will surpass your claim of the title, I'm motivated to break the rivals Since I gotta carry the team on my back, they'll compare me to Hakeem & Shaq When I finally put the mic down, don't hold ya breath for my end any time now I'm set to make the ol' school cats proud, 'cause their legacy through me is found Yeah prince u say u got a crown, but u can't even entertain even if u were a clown I'm gonna earn the respect of this post, when I burn ya like breakfast toast Last time when I battled solo I was robbed of takin' the throne So now I'm packin' knowledge up since I'm capable of breakin' y'all clones True dat sound alike, y'all cats shout rhymes, but y'all haven't found time To apply to improve, if you rhyme true to you, you'll have a shot Until then your a have not, your analyzin' every word I happen to jot When your in a matter of shock, I believe y'all have a bad case of rappers block I could read through your wack plot, a damn disgrace being jabbed out the spot By my upper hook, Like Nas I make y'all look, I steal your pride away like a crook I could go on all day spittin', Don't even start callin' me fake Prince 'Cause with one shot I could break you and Jim simultaneously Step up to the plate only if you can swing with me It's like pitchin' blind to a silver slugger, my rappin' skills kill brothers So you better make sure you run for cover This is my olympics so I'm burstin' towards the gold medal When spittin' like Talib Kweli and De La Soul I'm a "soul rebel" Since I'm fulfillin' the goals like the 'Jersey Devils

I'll post my verse in a little while 'cause I have to get off the computer now, but don't worry I'll post it soon! :peace:
