R.E.S.P.E.C.T - Aretha Franklin

King without a crown - Matisyahu

I hope Chelsea fans can see that Mourinho was a teeny-weeny bit over-rated. . .

Good performance and i must admit Essien was a beast so y'all play Barca in the Semi's

Same Ol G - Ginuwine

Where are all the Scousers? well y'all are pretty few to be honest but what happened where was that Champions League fire y'all usually played with on UCL nights?

This beyond Walking Alone y'all have been marooned    where is bgees? 

Over-reliance on Gerrard and Torres cost y'all big time looking back maybe you should have kept Keane at least the Blues would have had an extra man to worry about

Good Grief!!! Lets have a minute naah scratch that four minutes of silence for Bayern Munchen i can only hope poor old DK has not caught a stroke or cerebral palsy
I remember pleading with Bayern to save some goals for the next round when they where demolishing Sporting Lisbon

Change the world - Bone Thugs and Harmony ( I've missed this song!! Bone Thug at its best)

Drips?? The track is too filthy.
I like Sing For The Moment, Till I Collapse, Say Goodbye Hollywood and Superman.[/quote]Hehehehe aren't we all?

Yeah pardon me my memory bank is rusty Sing for the Moment and Say goodbye Hollywood where dope tunes that was Eminem at his optimum

@A-40

I simply chose to ignore Sauron since it's obvious he's clowning . . . how can someone who ain't joking compare 50 Cent and 2pac in terms of popularity You're right on the Bob Marley/Michael Jackson/Beatles analogy . . . comparing 50 Cent to 2pac going by popularity is worse than comparing Jim Iyke with Denzel Washington.

Go to Botswana and mention 50 Cent . . . they'll most prolly think you're talking about currency . . . I wonder why I don't get to see Sauron's posts in the Jokes Section . . . 

Lol me i can't ignore this one!! if every genre where asked to pick an icon i mean just one person to represent what their music genre stands for 2Pac would definitely represent rap this is someone that died almost 13 years ago and is still relevant in today's discourse if Fiddy was killed tomorrow nobody would be talking about him on Friday trust me never mind 13 years time

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=259402.msg3706913#msg3706913 date=1239207205]The Eminem Show was better than 'The Slim Shady' album.
Besides, 8 mile soundtrack has one of the best rhyme structures Eminem has ever spewed.
Tracks like 'Lose Yourself', 'Love U', 'Run Rabbit Run' and '8 Mile Road'.[/quote]Eminem Show was arguably Eminem's best album he ran outta gas after that!! songs like Drips,Cleaning out my closet,White America,Square Dance,Soldier,Say what you say,My Dad's gone Crazy,When the music stops i don't think there where too many tracks you could skip on that album

The track is just so-so it would be popular since its Eminem but not necessarily good

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=256465.msg3705137#msg3705137 date=1239190034]Every known rapper has paid respects to Pac and Biggie. No big deal there.
What makes Biggie more monumental was the fact that he became the King of NY with one album.
That was the same year Warren G, Dre/Snoop and Nas came out with their joints and Biggie Smalls just blew all of em outta the water.[/quote]Its a sign of his greatness he is rap's version of Elvis only more talented.I love Biggie to death but i don't think becoming the King of NY after his first album necessarily makes him at par with 2Pac i still rate 2Pac slightly higher because he simply had more material

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=256465.msg3705137#msg3705137 date=1239190034]Fiddy is known world wide. he has sold over 5 million albums in India alone(the first rapper to do so).[/quote]His Hip-Pop cuts across all continents i agree but still doesn't make him half as popular as Pac

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=256465.msg3705137#msg3705137 date=1239190034]T.O.S. is a G-unit album. 'Curtis' was the album that stood pound for pound with Kanye's graduation.[/quote]So 50 Cent is a member of what group? as far as i am concerned that is his latest effort and guess what it didn't sell up to 300,000 copies?

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=256465.msg3705137#msg3705137 date=1239190034]Kanye is stuck at 2 million copies. 50 is on 7 mil and counting. [/quote]When would you stop giving us bad data on Nairaland? Graduation as at last count sold approx. . 3million in the U.S alone while you are busy quoting 7mil for 50 cent's worldwide sales.Why not tell us how many copies Curtis sold in the US

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=256465.msg3705137#msg3705137 date=1239190034]Of course, they would know Pac.
However, large population of the urban kids in Botswana n Switzerland would know more about 50 cent than 2Pac.
I am willing to bet they would even know Lil Wayne more than Fiddy n Pac.[/quote]Pac is the most popular rap act that ever lived its an insult for you to compare him with upstarts like Fiddy and Wayne.You should compare his popularity to the likes of Bob Marley,Michael Jackson,Beatles,U2

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=256465.msg3703580#msg3703580 date=1239147262]The words might have been spewed to fit a rap pattern.
Cats in Botswana and Switzerland will know 50 cent not 2Pac.
When 'Pac was kicking it, there was no internet in that part of the world.[/quote]Spewed to fit a rap pattern? I would show you a million and one songs with similar artistes trying to fit rap patterns giving props to Pac he was the face of rap
Cats would know 50Cent before 2pac? Good Grief!! Please save your clowning skills the Ringling Bros are still hiring 2pac was a worldwide cult figure as far back as 1995-1996 Bleep internet there was cable tv

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=256465.msg3703580#msg3703580 date=1239147262]Says who?? 'Curtis' has sold 7 million copies already. Are u high on Cohiba??[/quote]How many did Terminate on Sight sell?

What about NWA?? KRS-ONE?? Rakim?? Biggie?? Kool G Rap??[/quote]Did you miss the around the world part? or did tonight's match play tricks with your eyes? NWA,KRS-One,Rakim,Kool G Rap go to some hood in Botswana or a dairy farm in Switzerland and mention these names and lets see how many responses you would get.He put a face to rap music around the world all 5 cats you mentioned are not responsible for the world's interest in rap today 2pac is the biggest reason
Even Fiddy said it. I want them to love me like they love Pac note he did not mention Rakim,NWA,KRS-One or even Biggie

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=256465.msg3703521#msg3703521 date=1239145952]Who cares?? It's all about money for Fiddy.
He puts shit out and he expects it to sell. He is in the game for the dough.[/quote]Fiddy's music doesn't sell these days.Kanye ain't no pauper either he is also in the game for the dough its not an excuse for Fiddy to be this whack

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=256465.msg3703366#msg3703366 date=1239143496]His subject matter was too political. . . . .
We heard enough of that from KRS-1 and Public Enemy. He didn't add anything new to the rap game.[/quote]Too political?? His Momma was a black panther his step-father a jailbird what else was he supposed to rap about? Bringing something new to the rap game? he is one of the reasons why rap is so popular around the world 2Pac was bigger than just rap when would you peeps realize that?

muchos gracias hombre 

We had a big game today.Quarter finals of the Champions League and we drew with Spanish side Villareal 1-1 on the road so they coming to our ground next week! The winner gets through to the Semi's

JeSoul:
One has to wonder much longer Steve Kerr will last in Phx, he has destroyed that team kpatakpata.

Its been blunder after blunder i tell ya.Suns fans would be very happy to see him go his management skills have been piss poor i would expect better from a 5th grader

JeSoul:
They might as well start making vacation plans. Their hopes were slim before, now they are non-existent

The earlier they admit they have an ageing roster and try to change things the better

JeSoul:
I happen to think this might be bad for the lakers. Integrating a major player 2 games into the playoffs who hasn't played in months has in the past proven to mess up team chemistry and balance and has sometimes been fatal. We'll see.

Try telling that to Phil Jackson he says they lost because they where not big and strong enough he would integrate Bynum by force and by fire

eyonigger:
The score for today is 2-2, I have watched it on future TV.

Jeez are you a clairvoyant?

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=256465.msg3703220#msg3703220 date=1239141589]Interesting debate. . . . . . .

All i can say is. . . .2Pac is overrated!!!
His posthumous albums helped him in many ways than 2pac himself woulda expected.
No one is saying 2Pac ain't legendary but i think he gets more credits than he deserves(I'm being honest here).

@ A-40,

Kanye is a mediocre rapper. . . . .I don't care if he's a ladies man or not but he is extremely overrated.
His lyrics are synonymous to a kid in the 4th grade. He can be catchy when he wants to be but after 'College Dropout' he has been wack.
Eldee like the pop and the mild stylez Kanye deploys in his records but that does not wash with me.[/quote]Naah i don't think 2pac is over-rated his subject matter is just so damned varied one minute he is rapping about riding on his enemies and the next he is talking about single parents before you hit the rewind button he is talking about social injustice and stuff he was the complete rapper who kept it real throughout he didn't spit the abstract shit most so-called lyricists rap about he lived what he spat compared to 99% of rappers that ever flowed on a mic

As for Kanye he is good i won't call him mediocre when people like 50Cent are still around lol but yeah he is over-rated i agree with that intoto

This is armaggedon bloody hell what is going on here?

eldee:
Now you're doing a Jackal over one word?? Jocking/Checking . . . release 'em straws bruv
What superlative have I used on him?? Most creative?? He shows improvement?? He's brave?? Dude . . .

He made his hit's with samples . . . so that's why he should hang on the cross upside-down??
It's called SIGNATURE STYLE!!! If sampling has given us great songs like Ether, Mo MoneyMo Problems, even Jay-Z's latest single . . .
Sampling is what he does . . . if he keeps dropping hits, then it's okay with me, and the Grammys too

Personally, I think he's an overrated rapper too . . . but a much too underrated artiste

You coined the song "Homecoming" a metaphorical masterpiece,Creativity at its best come on bruv i don't even have the time to start bringing out others but Good grief 

Now lets talk about samples because it seems the page that defines originality in your dictionary has been torn off and used to wrap the LaLa you have been puffing on are you sure you are not Kanye's lawyer?
How can someone's signature style be sampling? haba how low would you lower your standards to defend Kanye? he has practically made a career out of sampling old tunes and believe it or not that would be his legacy unlike true greats like Tupac and B.I.G its one thing when you have one or two songs that sample old tunes in your album and its another thing when 3 out of 4 of your hit tracks on an album (Late Registration) are sampled

Creativity and Originality are like siamese twins you can't separate them without having complications

PS: Don't get it twisted i love Kanye probably more than you sef but overall he is kinda over-rated

eldee:
A-40 tried to question Kanye's creativity, that's why I went all out on him . . . you attacked consistency, I went on to prove how flawed your argument was . . . Ibime's thinks Kanye's wack because he speaks plain English . . . that's exactly what I like about him, so no qualms.

Don't take yourself too seriously!! your defence for Kanye was not good enough

It was a gritty performance we started very poorly but got stronger as the game went on even though Villareal pushed us hard towards the end

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=247928.msg3703081#msg3703081 date=1239139622]United were favourites before the game kicked off. . . . .
Who the tie favours does not mean a thang. . . . . .It is what happens on the pitch that counts.
All i know is. . . . . .United are more than capable of beating Porto in Portugal.[/quote]Yeah its obvious y'all underestimated them but its not looking good homie Porto are uber-hard to beat at home besides what makes you so sure you would even get a draw not to talk of a win? i see cracks all over this Utd team i blame Villa for giving y'all some optimism sef!! Lisandro and Lucho Gonzalez are beasts at the Dragao and your chase for goals just might do you in.You guys had us fooled you are very beatable

Cristalz:
  The way y'all are going on, I actually thought you won

@Eldee

  Sure Villareal won't take y'all to the cleaners next game? Lovely performance from Cesc though, and Ade's goal was almost as brilliant as Macheda's

Dearie this is as good as a win i definitely won't swap results with you guys that's for sure

This result na serious casala ooh no matter how you Mancs paint it where is eyonigger by the way? that dude was spot on with his predictions.Utd where rattled from start to finish and we all know now that if you take the game to Utd you would get joy this tie is not beyond y'all but Porto are favorites now whether y'all like it or not

Adebayor and Cesc really have mad chemistry Debosky i don't know what you would say now about Ade he has really proved all that have doubted him wrong.I have to give it to the boys though we pulled a result out of the fire and we are finally starting to play with heart going one goal down early and losing two players early would have been enough to rattle any team but not this Arsenal and as much as this tie is not done and dusted yet i am hard pressed to see how Villareal would survive the armoury at the Emiraati!! The only sore point is we now have yellow card trouble and all three cards where unnecessary so Fab,Nasri and Ade are kinda walking a tight rope for the Semi's if we make it there

FBS:
The rules now are nothing but a joke. Imagine scoring more points does not give you the title but winning more races will. i.e If you win say 5 GPs then you are likely to take the title even if someone else has more points than you. me think that is strange.

The BM car's diffuser as I understand is illegally creating downforce and you know what that means. A hearing on that is due in Paris this month.

Its crazy and ironically those rules may favor Hamilton because i am sure the FIA wants to avoid last year's debacle but the rule makes no sense they might as well stop using points and strictly use races won

Yeah it gives the car more thrust apparently

Spurs fans now is the time to start crying because Ginobili is out for the season

@lailai
Bynum could be back before this week runs out

Jordan,Stockton and Robinson all entered the HOF today!!

I forgot to add Bad Intentions - Dr Dre ft Knoc-Turn-al
Go Crazy - Young Jeezy ft Jay-Z

Can things get worse for Bayern

Lucio injured,
van Buyten has to attend to family issues in Belgium.
Altintop and Borowski doubtful,
Lahm and Ribery picked up knocks yesterday and we are battling to get them fit,
Toni is trying to gain match fitness,
Klose definitely out for at least 3 weeks more


Maybe I need to get dressed for the game

See you next year

JeSoul:
don't count on it though . . . the hounds that mauled Vick are calling for Plaxico's blood.

  That's the gospel truth!

I think Plaxico's case is different i think with a plea bargain or something he might be let off the hook he seems to have a good legal team i am almost sure something would be worked out but who knows

even the redbull car was fantastic especially at the corners.
whats up with the maclaren mercedes cars? looks like their gear 6 no dey work?

Brawn Mercedes means business.

But what sort of rule is that? stop a race midway? what if rain started right on the first lap?

Honestly F1 these days is not the sport i grew up watching and loving,these days its just so complicated with crazy rules and stuff

Those Brawn cars look like they got rocket engines in them

What is the argument here about we all know Man Utd is the home of Woworious and Wowinchi players

This match should go Utd's way the key for Porto is keeping the score down and getting an away goal
