I think eating smelly food is disrespectful to other commuters.
The golden rule is; NO SMELLY FOOD.
One man's aroma is another man's ewww.
Not everyone wants to smell your McDiddy's 1/4 pounder. . . For heaven's sake, it's the underground.

platinumnk:
Dont like goat meat not beans lol

long story!

You don't like a type of meat?? Are you vegan in diguise??

ThiefOfHearts:
Most likely not though he has made it clear that he doesnt care about the whining of the fairweather fans. He rather lose those who wnat him to stay on one track and i definitely agree with him.

I think he'll leav ethe vocoder thing alone or use it on like one or two tracks. IMO he should do more collaborations like Homecoming, it still tickles me that people think the song is about a girl

Homecoming?? Metaphorical masterpiece!!!
Creativity at it's very best.

chiogo:
LMFAO. . I believe the word I used was "unnecessary" not 'big'. .heck, I'm sure I use more big words than Kanye
Unnecessary as in they make no sense all in his bid to sound 'smart'. I tire for you oo Eldee. . .don't make me come back here. who get time for kanye?

And sorry, you didn't prove anything. If Jay-z was 'below-par', maybe kanye infected him or he just didn't feel like wasting bars, his pocket is too full to be stressed, lmao. .i crack myself up. You're also trying to tell us Lil' wayne did better than jigga? haba! I'm sure you don't hate him that much. And pls, post kanye's full verse.

Reasons for Jay-Z Underpeforming on 'Swagger Like Us' Accordin to NL Jay-Z fans.
- It was his lyrics that were below-par, his delivery was on-point
- 'Maybe Kanye infected him with wackness'
- He's got too many lines in the pockets of his rocawear jeans, he's saving them for the future

So now if attitude is unecessary what should he use?? 'Ego'?? 'Pride'??
What's with you 'hiphop heads' and people that speak with the elaborated code in rap songs??

@A-40
Hov's lines wrong?? Jockin/Jacking/Checking: Chiogo/A-40/AZLyrics.com and you want to use that to escape
I laugh in Ondo-Yoruba
The New-era line is what?? Top-draw?? Why does Javalove come to mind here??

Abeg . . . it's half two here, I need to sleep
Do anything you like with 'My swagger's Mick Jagger' . . . see how hard you can crush it

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=256465.msg3693245#msg3693245 date=1238977577]Why did you not post Kanye's verse Mr Oga you posted two lines muchacho why are you shy to post the rest?  
A popular catch phrase my pitch black ass!! how many rappers have you seen use that phrase before and incase you did not catch what he was implying in the first stanza he meant his nutsack and his cash

@chiogo
I think the name of the track is Go Hard.I tire for eldee that Kanye line didn't even make sense.My attitude is tattooed that means its permanent? jeez are all tattoos permanent sef   [/quote]I threatened to breakdown Jay-Z's verse and I did . . . pulled his 'roc jeans' down, and voila, B.S.
You post Kanye's lines let's see if Hov's lines on that track were anywhere near

My dayz . . . don't tell me you never heard of the most infamous racist gag of all time??
Maybe when next Jay-Z says 'form is temporary, class is permanent' you'll start worshipping him all over again.

@Chiogo
Damn!!! 'Attitude' is now a big word??

Oh now, you guys are stuttering??
'It's not even about the lyrics although I liked jigga's lyrics plus you got some errors in the lyrics'  . . . Kidding

But anyways . . . when I talked about copying and pasting, it was sooo obvious that I wasn't talking about the delivery
That would have been me shooting myself in the foot seeing that y'all love to hate Kanye's vocorder
I hope I managed to remove any doubts bout who was the below-par performer on that track??
Cus if I hear any arguments I'll prove it that T.I's verse beat Hov too.

chiogo:
LOLZ, He definitely said "jocking my fresh" not "checking my fresh"
How is jigga's a popular catch phrase and not kanye's? What's so fresh-out-the-box about kanye's line? Dude probably took that from Jordin Sparks' "tattoo". . .

Jockin', Checking . . . Big difference!!!
Aiite, bout the Kanye line . . . one's a direct quote, one's a creative manipulation . . . geddit??

@Sauron
All these 'Biggie walked on water' thingy . . . that's just one album
When you place a rapper as the greatest based on one album, that's OVERRATING!!!

All these Jay-Z pple sef . . . let me copy-paste this verse

Got a bop like this
Can't wear skinny jeans cause my knots don't fit
No one on the corner got a pocket like this
So I rock Roc jeans cause my knots so thick
Irrelevant intro

You can learn how to dress just for checking my fresh
Checking-checking my fresh, checking-checking my fresh
Erm . . . this is obviously just another verse-filler

Follow my steps is the road to success
Where the niggas know you're thorough when the girls say yes (yes!)
Yeah good line here

("No one on the corner" But I can't teach 'em my swag
You can pay for school but you can't buy class
Popular catchphrase . . . don't count

("No one on the corner" School of hard knocks I'm a grad
And that all-blue Yankee is my graduation cap
Erm . . . OK

It's Hooooo-vahhhhh
Dippin-dippin Rovers, whippin with the soda
Hooooo-vahhhhh
Did you even have any doubt after doubt it was over?
Wasted studio time (10 secs)

That's the verse broken down . . . now put compare that with Kanye's
My attitude is tattooed
That mean it's permanent, so I guess we should address it, huh?

@Sauron
This is exactly what I was saying
You rate him Greatest Of All Time because of what you think he'ld have done not what he did
You assumed he'll drop a Ready to Die level album every leapyear
You assumed he'll still produce albums that will suit the changing generations of hiphop listeners
You placed him on the G.O.A.T list based on ASSUMPTIONS!!!

And you tell me that's not an overrated rapper??

@A-40
It's you . . . Jay-Z's your Elvis
Don't push me . . . I'll copy-paste Hov's verse on that track, even T.I's verse was better

ThiefOfHearts:
lol not a fan of Life After death eh?

Agreed on Kanye. Yea he's an arrogant lunatic but in the hiphop world he has just about every right to be and I admire him esp since he's so damn creative.

His last album was kind of extreme though . . .but this dude has what 3 albums in 4 years . . .he's good
Do you reckon his next one will be vocorder too??

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=256465.msg3693005#msg3693005 date=1238970079]Are u fucking kidding me?? How can Biggie be overrated??
He came out in a period when Dr Dre/Snoop and Deathrow Records were shitting on the industry. The East Coast could only stand and admire.
They needed a touch bearer and Biggie delivered with the most classic rap album ever.
With his looks and appearance, you have to admit he had to work extra hard to get there. I cannot say the same about 'Pac or Kanye.[/quote]Yeah . . . as I said before, he deserves that . . . he stood up for the East Coast, dropped a great rap-album
That's why he's the UNTOUCHABLE?? He dropped a classic so he should be G.O.A.T?? C'mon

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=256465.msg3693005#msg3693005 date=1238970079]I could say that about Dr. Dre too. Biggie woulda been too successful without his demise.
Look at all his collabo. . . . . .With Michael Jackson, R.Kelly, Da Brat, 112, Faith Evans, etc.
He could flip with any soundtrack and turn it to gold. Rap music lost a prodigious talent on March 9th.[/quote]Yeah, he'ld have been successful, but G.O.A.T successful?? Nah!!
We all know the 'Rags to Riches' story only sells once, the 'Look at me now, I'm rich' maybe twice . . . and c'est fini, everyone gets bored.
Biggie would have made maybe one more good album, and then lost relevance
Hiphop fans get bored easily . . . Nas proved that
And you mentioned Dre . . . how many Top 5 lists is Dre sure of holding down??

My point is, death boosts your street cred exponentially, death during a beef astronomically, B.I.G might have gained a little from the whole thing . . . even Diddy knows
Forget the shooter, hiphop fans respect who got shot . . . I wonder what woulda happened if Nas got shot immediately after Illmatic

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=256465.msg3692887#msg3692887 date=1238966710]With this his R and B thing i think he is falling off slightly and his recent efforts have kinda tilted him from under-rated to over rated in my books he is closer to that these days.He also needs to cut out the sampling thing[/quote]C'mon, it's just a phase . . . he's a mama's boy that lost the woman that started his career
Nas backed-out of the biggest beef in hiphop history . . . and released an album that had references to Anne Jones in almost every track, because he lost his mum.
Let's just say, people have different ways of reacting to situations, Kanye's just happened to be the way every sane producer would.
Besides Heartless was really good, it's still my ringtone
Kanye's hiphop's future . . . BTW you saw him tear Jay-Z apart on Swagger Like Us, didn't you??
That's a sign of improvement, compared to Diamonds Are Forever Remix

[quote author=kay_pumpin link=topic=256465.msg3692819#msg3692819 date=1238965202]Maybe you are my run-away twin brother that i have been looking for.
Just maybe,
I couldn't have said it better .

Kanye is a creative rapper and i love his "attitude" i.e swagga.[/quote]Believe it or not, some people refuse to appreciate good music cus they want to be 'hiphop heads'
His swagga's so on-point,  'Ralph Lauren was boring before I wore 'em'

presido1:
Pls i noticed almost everybody hate ikokore, Which food is that and what is it prepared from.

Nah . . . she didn't mention the disgusting part
Raw yam is grated into a toothpaste-ish state

Okro, Okra whatever the name is . . . puke

@TOH
C'mon, it has to be Ready to Die

His first-person description of the Rags To Riches story is next only to Nas

Kanye is prolly the most underrated rapper of our time
I don't get ths thing about 'hiphop heads' discriminating against people that speak middle-class English
He's prolly the only rapper I'll be able to relate one-on-one with, if we met this evening

Besides, his bravery is out-of-this world . . . started the whole respectable gentleman thingy in hiphop
For once rappers didn't have to put the whole costume up to drop bars, his creativity?? damn . . . another day's topic

Yeah . . . Ikokore is the most irritating mixture ever served in a plate!!!!

My mum's Edo (Ishan to be specific), they've got this Banga soup thing . . .it's awful!!!

Notorious B.I.G

I'm not saying he's anything less than what he is, but c'mon . . .
This dude was/is the luckiest rapper ever, one 5-star album, one other album and voila, he gets a post-humous movie, collections of artistes swapping collabos on his songs, and Diddy milking millions from his 'legacy'.

Ever imagined what would have happened if he lived long enough to release 8-10 albums like Hov and Nas??
Or have you ever imagined the level Eminem woulda been placed if we were only to judge him on his best two albums??

I'm very sure of one thing though, if he'd been alive today, he'd prolly be one of the 'legends' that only come on TV to frown about the 'state of modern hiphop'.

Kokoroko: Keffè Ft Timaya

Does she know how to do a bad song??

OMO IBO:
sir, are you insinuatin she is bleeping for tracks?

Nah. . . I'm just pointing out the fact that she's got every other thing she needs to make it in the Nigerian music industry.
Hell she already has a religious fanbase. . . even outside Nigeria.
There's nothing a lil OJB can't fix in the studio.

Who says having a good voice is really needed to hit in the industry??
How do people like Cherish and Cassie ever make it to the studio??
This is prolly the diva pple have been crying for. . .

I think her song (Dance) with Ruggedman was aiite.
And Naija lo wa speaks for itself.

Na for small things African countries like to dey show power.
I was reading bout how an Asian country came and got hold of a lease to hundreds of hectares of land in an African country for 99 years. . . paying ZILCH!!! No judge dusted his law books then.
Now to adopt a child from an orphanage is WWIII.

Heard sumone saying Grime emcees are wanna-bes. . .
Come on, these boys are not like Jay-z and 50 that sit sum posh mansion in Hollywood while they growl 'Brooklyn we go hard' on TV.
These blokes are SE boys that have been there and are still there.
Yeah, they might not be top-draw lyrically, but their narratives are honestly first-person perspective.

Erm Dayo
Have you seen Fab4 or Carrick in action?
They'll run when they need to and send that long pass once VP or Tevez needs the ball.

But this Utaka dude is a winger, He needs to run and cross.
If he can't do that, an Eboue will take his place.

tayoccu:
there's nothing about it on arsenal.com, but it won't be a bad idea to have the dude in our squad

There's an April Fool note at the end of that article.
Besides, it's goal.com, everyday is April Fool's day to them.

The part I don't get here is when people come here to say 'Nigeria does not repay it's heroes'.
For God's sake, what else do they expect from us? To keep playing them when they're off form?
Do you know how much George Weah would have sacrificed to play for the Super Eagles?
What of Becks that left Galaxy where he's more or less a god, to Milan so Capello would consider giving him 20 minutes sub appearances?

Nigeria does not owe anyone(save Okwaraji's family)
It's simple, play well for ur club and you'll be honoured with a call-up. When you lose it, au revoir.
Playing for your national team is a whole page on a player's CV, ask Owen.

C'mon, boxers never get two shots at the title challenge, do they??
I think he should just retire now . . . he should know better

Damn . . . the Modify thingy

Anyways, on the fifth line, I meant . . . Becks was shagging Rebecca Loos while he was still bending free-kicks at Real Madrid

My point is, sex has been proven time and again to be good physical and mental exercise . . .
Maybe other factors like alcohol and fame . . .but def not sex

Taribo should go find a day job
What kind of stupid logic is this?? Sex = Injuries?? C'mon

Ashley Cole is famous for his sexapades and is one of the best LBs in the EPL
What of Ronaldo?? The rapist and prostitute shagger is the best player in the world.
David was playing well in Real while he was busy bending in free-kicks in real

How big was Martins in Inter sef?? His only competition was an aged Christian Vieri.
And Agali?? C'mon, dude had a few good matches, Celestine was just too old to play RB, with the influx of pacy wingers like Ronaldo, Hleb, SWP, Stelios, who would leave an out-of-pace RB like Babayaro in his team.

Nigerians and their poor research skills. . . just check out the opinionated write-up by this Wale dude.

And what's wrong with the media doing it's job and reporting news?? Abeg, these people should stop using The Sun and Daily Star as a benchmark for UK newspapers.
Tell me when[i] The Times[/i] or Independent have ever put Beckham's escapades on their frontpage.

@TKB
Grew up there. . . Ibara and Onikolobo.
Best place to live on earth. . . schooled at Lawson Nursery and Primary in Kuto.

We had only two TV channels, OGTV and NTA 12, the thought of watching live EPL matches was as distant as the chances of living on Mars.
It was either World Soccer or transistor radio.

@Ibime
Na you know,
I watched the same Telematch Dayokanu watched, I can't be that young

@Bawolomo
I see where you're coming from, but c'mon, it's the real world

Yeah, it's true that most of the harm drugusers suffer is from the impure version that's sold by these drugdealers.
Do you know bout that popular case of the B'day girl?? the ecstacy she took was only about 50% pure.
If we let the specialised bodies, say the NHS sell 'em, it'll be less harmful for recreational drug-users

Also, most of the shootings in drug-raids will be avoided easily if we legalise drugs.

But thing is, in the ideal society, people will take these drugs as prescribed, let the NHS help them to stop and never let it get to kids.
But no, this is not the ideal society, drugs will reach the wrong hands, the black market will still be there to top-up prescriptions, people will never be reasonable enough to attempt to quit.

NHS stop-smoking service is funded by tax-payers' money, still sum pple have been 'quittng' for 20 years . . . how do we know it will not follow the same path??

Ibime:
Chelsea Autoglass kit was 1997 - 1999. How then could you have been an Arsenal fan in primary 6 when you were in primary 6 in 1970?  

If you were an Arsenal fan in primary 6, you would NEVER wear a Chelsea shirt in 1997.

_{Ibime don come again o! Exposing everybody nyash!}  

Lol . . . Primary 6 in 1970?? Nah . . . my school didn't even exist then
Anyways, I was in Primary 6 in 1998, got my Autoglass Winter 1997.
I'm a 1998/99 fan, and that wasn't even deep then, cos I saw only about 4 matches a year, before TV Africa and Supersport.

@topic
Funny enough, I joined Arsenal only to prove that I was a non-conformist
My dad and my cousins were Chelsea fans . . . infact my first football kit was Autoglass
We'll go and holidays in the UK and my dad will practically instruct me to wear that rag . . .

How did I follow Arsenal then?? There was this popular magazine then . . . World Soccer, they had results and team sheets of all the leagues in the last ten pages. . . My dad had a subscription, so I used to follow Arsenal there, only time I saw matches were the holidays.

Though the main reason was so I could get the teamlist for my table soccer team(Buttons from our shirts and 'biro covers')
We'd draw team formations on our tables from the teamlists and play our own versions of the Champion's League
Arsenal always won of course
I beat everyone in Lawson's Primary 6

Those were the days . . . I even remember when Miss Lawson(Now Iyalode of Egbaland) caught us, we were in the uncompleted blocks after school

@dayo
I remember Telematch on OGTV . . . after the Circus, you no even too old sef

dayokanu:
Kanu's best days were outside the EPL when he was 6th in FIFA ranking, Yobo became so dull the moment he stepped into Everton,
What happened to the Bull from Brugge that was the toast of all Europe went to Everton and became crap.
Aghahowa, Martins, Utaka

Kanu simply couldn't match the level of the EPL after the heart operaton, and consdering the fact that Bergkamp and Henry were there forging an amazing strike team, he didn't stand any chance.

Yobo?? toast of Europe before Everton?? This dude became the bedrock of a team that qualified for the UCL.
His best times were definitely at Everton, where he learnt how to use his brain rather than his pace to defend

Aghahowa was just too old to prove himself . . . he was already too poor for Nigeria, even the competition at Wgan buried him.

Martins still scores whenever he's not injured, did you see him against Arsenal?? He made Gallas look like Lahm

dayokanu:
Drogba's best days were arguably in Marseille when He won Sharon's version of European footballer of the year.
You claimed they go to Carling cup squads and I told you of how Eboue has been crap for like ages and he still plays for the 1st team, Berbasulk has been crap for like 7 months and he still plays strolling all over. Rio has been crap for the better part of two years, Its Vidic excellence that is rubbing off him and protecting him and Rio still plays  , What of Malouda? He has been crap for the better part of 2 seasons and he still plays. right?

Assou Ekotto?? why not Owosu Abeyie?

Eboue has proven time and again that he's a EPL-class RB. The only reason he's been playing is the injury to key players in tha position
Drogba became African Footballer of the Year only when he came to the EPL, hell . . . the EPL made him world-class

And about Rio, if a patnership wins me both the League andthe UCL, there's no way I'm changing it
If the excellence is rubbing off on him to win trophies, then let it continue

You can't deny it, the EPL is what the Serie A was to Europe in the early 90s
