Politics.

Rigging.

I should have won. lol

Congrats, Tosin.

Ebonyeyes:

Yes. A for the confidence though.

Maybe I should try my luck.

Are you from Tennessee? Because you're the only 10 I see! lol

Ebonyeyes:

A wonder why they keep rehashing the same tired lines? A+ for effort but F- for delivery

lol
When they tell you, they get an E.

When they text it to you, they get an F. lol

Ebonyeyes:

They are all reading from the same 1970s manual on how to toast a girl

I doubt it worked even then.

bosoms would definitely sway more male votes in your favour than your personality. think of bosoms as democrats and personality as republicans.

@hax
you are digging a bigger hole for yourself contradicting yourself on all levels (you even quoted something YOU wrote and gave a reply to it thinking i wrote it. ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!)

*shakes head*

even if someone wants to go out with you, it doesnt automatically means that there is going to be love blossoming, it just means that this person would like to get to know you a little more and is giving you a shot. . . . . . . . .  your actions and hers from that point will determine if you are compatible in that way and if love will blossom OR NOT.

O RLY?

What YOU think doesn't matter most times. what matters is if the person wants to go out with you in the first place. i'm not advising anyone to fxck and forget, but don't throw your heart around. don't go around falling in love with everyone. not until it's sure where the relationship is going, then you can let your guard down.

someone said that and was accused of not using his head. poor guy.
exactly. you've been given a shot. take it well. just don't become attached and be suicidal if she says no.
______________________________________________________________________

That's the section that's cracking you up, right?

I quoted part of my post as a response to part of your post. And commented on it. I thought speaking about myself in third person would give you a hint. But it apparently didn't.

Sarcasm is wasted on idiots.

take your time. sit down and explain to her why you don't want to get married so soon (no job, stuff like that).

marriage isn't something you rush into. . .

or you may find yourself rushing out of it in the future. lol

MRbrownJAY:

@hax
you are not making any sense by the minute, slow down. . . . . . . .

you can be aggressive and picky all you want, but i don't really care, i didn't feel like going into details. . . but it's alright.

if you happen to fall in love with someone who just want to be friend with you(still wondering how that can happen) then you have to use your head to realize that this love/romance is unattainable unless you want to knock her upside the head into submission. you have two option: accept the friendship or get as far away as you can from her.

Exactly. And if you didn't 'fall head over heels' before she said the dreaded words 'i wanna be friends', wouldn't that be nice? You 'like' a person. You think 'she's a nice girl, good looking, religious, caring, blablabla etc. I can work with that.' Then you go in and try to make her go out with you. But without getting attached. And it also helps when your judgement isn't clouded too.

even if someone wants to go out with you, it doesnt automatically means that there is going to be love blossoming, it just means that this person would like to get to know you a little more and is giving you a shot. . . . . . . . .  your actions and hers from that point will determine if you are compatible in that way and if love will blossom OR NOT.

some people can throw their heart around because they do not get sad/down like cry babies when the relationship doesnt work, they just move on to better pastures.

if you're like *shrug* after a relationship ends, then you were never really into it in the first place. don't you think so?

also many people mistake infatuation with love, two different thing. just because someone makes you feel special doesnt automatically mean that this is love.

thanks, capt. obvious.

"putting your guard up" while entering a relationship is another immature way of looking at love etc. you should give the person in front of you all the benefit of the doubts and go into this relationship wholeheartedly. IF she fukcs up then act upon and judge her for it but making her pay because some rat did you wrong in the past is childish and immature.

who's making anyone pay? all i'm trying to say is to be careful when entering relationships. be careful and watch out for signs that she could be the right one, that she won't fxck up so you won't have to 'act upon and judge her'. Get what I'm trying to say now?

Everyone can't think the same. Just because we don't agree doesn't mean i'm immature or not using my head. You should just have asked me to explain further instead. And from what you've posted, our arguments aren't all that different.

lmfao

your answer wouldn't matter at all. your ex seems to be ready for action. lmao

~Sauron~:

Refill-EP is Eminem at his very best.

Let's hope so.

I can bet it is not better than the Youtube video above.
Sauron's too Slim Shady-spoilt to listen to garbage lyrics these days. . . . . .

Do you ever bother to give any new artists a chance? How would you know? Have you listened to it yet? Give it a try and then form your own opinion and don't be a Stan.

Has anyone heard Rakim's new album, 7th seal?

Merry xmas, peeps.

On that list, I think eldee makes the most sense. and it turns out he's an arsenal fan too, so he gets my vote. lol

other than the fact that i'm seeing DBR's name for the first time, and i don't see tosin or rapjunkie post much either.

Merry xmas, peeps. Eat well, do something, have fun. Don't dull like me o!

MRbrownJAY:

@poster
pls disregards the posts from the many kids posting on NL advising you to "never love a woman" or "never give all your heart to someone". . . . . . . they have no F$%#@&g clue what they are talking about and they are the first one to fall when love comes knocking at their doors.

lovely generalization. lol

loving someone has nothing to do with your dilemma, loving someone UNAVAILABLE is the problem.

and now, being in love already makes it a bigger problem and harder to move on, right? how about loving someone who 'just wants to be friends'?

it doesnt matter how much you love her because if it doesnt go both ways then its pointless. accept defeat and move on with your life hoping to find the right one. . . . . . . . . . . .she definitely aint it.

dont be afraid to love like the other posters, just use your mind to judge and decide if what you are going through is right or wrong. if its wrong then separate and move on with your life

what YOU think doesn't matter most times. what matters is if the person wants to go out with you in the first place. i'm not advising anyone to fxck and forget, but don't throw your heart around. don't go around falling in love with everyone. not until it's sure where the relationship is going, then you can let your guard down.

Haven't bothered to listen to Refill. Is it any better than Relapse?

~Sauron~:

His power of lyricism shames any other mainstream rapper out there.

Not much to write home about these days,

If you want the REAL Refill, listen to the Pill track in my sig. Do yourself a favour and download his mixtape 'Pill - 4075 Refill'.

sd-6:
U're not supposed to love a girl no matter how perfect she is.

Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever.

real talk, homie!

and if it comes with a dose of HIV? don't cut your nose to spite your face.

a lady who doesn't have 'money' in her post is a liar, right? lol

shiiit.

poor kid. still sending romantic texts and calling you an angel and all that. lmao

shoot the kid down jor. somebody that wants to cause fight between you and your bf. what are you using him to do? lol

your babe's given you a present. some don't have babes to give them presents. be happy, wear it when you're going to see her, use it to whyne her jor! don't dull yourself!

All of you saying he's suddenly 'in lust' with a girl he's been friends with for 7 years are funny. lol

'love doesn't wait that long'? wtf?

isn't it when you want to quickly mount the babe that you act fast? romantic feelings come up when you're good friends with a female you think is acceptable. and it's a two way thing. one person doesn't kiss, two people do. if she didn't want it, she'd have pushed him away.

guy, ride on jor. you guys have to sit and talk about it. pretending it never happened won't work for too long. especially if she's unhappy with her relationship. because if she does have a steady bf who she really loves, i don't see why she has to come to another guy to confide in and be sleeping on the same bed with.

would you guys like to hear that your gf's sleeping on the same bed with another guy?

Drake feat Phonte & Elzhi - Think Good Thoughts

lol@Drake getting killed by both of them on his own sh!t.

[Drake:]
Yeah, 9th Wonder! Don't judge me man
They tend to say that us rappers are materialistic
They say we lack substance
Me, 'Te and El' bout to prove 'em wrong though

[Chorus: Drake]
Uh, we know what you're thinking love
You think we out smoking and drinking love
Pushing big whips, chains clinking love
But y'all don't really know me like you think you know me
We know how you speculate
Thinking we gon' hit your friend if you object to date
Claim we're early and be showing up extra late love
But y'all don't really know me like you think you know me

[Drake:]
Uh, El' be saying that I'm humble, I'm hella nice
For that I've been approached to sign to Roc-A-Fella twice
Haters tell you all the rumors they heard
And we laugh soon as you come and tell me like I'm Ellen Brice
My groove theory is that when you too cheery
They try to bring you down to the level they at
Well when they are all unhappy, then it gets a little sticky
That's why I am Little Nicky to these devils in rap
But, uh, they ain't thinking Drake get smart girl
Nah, they probably think I'll break your heart girl
Haha, I can't lie, you probably right about it
And if you give me the ass quick, I'll probably write about it
But I hate it when they judge me on how I sound
I mean I spit that influential shit from my town
I don't know why you sitting on the couch
When you see I got a bed, bring your ass here and lie down
You think taking your purse off
Will lead to me, you taking shirts off and then your skirt off
At least I got status because I could've been a local emcee
And you probably would've been worse off
So I'm a take this hat off, and I'm a hit it till I backs off
And then I'm back sorrowful
Cause you thinking you can predict what happen
You the reason I'm thinking I'm getting sick of rapping

[Phonte:]
You probably think I walk around with my gun tucked and
Swang dick to these hoes like nunchucks
Well, you can think what you want but
I think you've been watching too much BET: Uncut
You need to get real and check out my real life
I ain't a tip-trail, don't care what it smell like
But if you feel like putting all your notions aside
And talking to a real nigga, I'd gladly oblige
First name Phonte, I'd be pleased to date ya
College educated, got degrees in papers
But I'm from the South where if you ain't snapping
Or rapping bout trapping youse a freak of nature
Such an anomaly, speak so well
And talk so collegy, such an astonishing
Contrast to all the bullshit you've been following
On behalf of them, I offer my apologies
Maybe with me you'll unlearn
Putting all niggas in a box of concerns
Me, cause I ain't dumb, shit I'm well reared/red like sunburn
And after me you'll never leave no stone unturned, uh, c'mon

[Elzhi:]
They say you never judge a book by it's cover
Though you appear as materialistic, just like the others
So I followed your words to take 'em in
And I don't see what you saying so they coming off paper thin
That's when I felt that I would need to
Do more than just look you up and down to see if I could read you
And try to get inside your head only
Not just stick my fingers in your middle to get you to spread for me
So what I learned on my path to discover?
Your story took one ugly turn after another
I saw we wasn't on the same page
I would've gave you strong play but your words rubbed me the wrong way
So now I'm closing the case
You only out for the paperback that's written all over your face
No El' will never judge a book by it's cover
Until he seen what was in between and looked at what lies are under

"Even if you don't like me, you respect the god(God)" - same song, "Ain't I?"

Umm, some other shiit I can't remember 
Umm, I knew that. Still contradicting! How can you be made in your own image? That is, if he's God like he's been telling us, how can he then be made in God's image? 

Not really contradictory. More about mic skills than religion. You don't have to like someone to respect him.

He calls himself god MC, not God. They're two different things. So he can be made in God's image.

Right. That's what I think too or at least  want to think anyway. But how do you explain the whole J-hova(Jehova) thing? Don't tell me he simply means he's the "Jehovah" of rap. That just sounds funny on its own.

Wel that ^^ is the reason many people I know don't like him, they think he compares himself to God. Obviously, his logic of the word is lost on many.

He's not God. He's not Jehovah. He's' God MC'. Jay-Hova. They're not the same. That name came from him calling himself god MC and having Jay in his name. It might be a play on a name he shouldn't play with, but what can we do? Nas is God's Son. Are we to say he's jacking Jesus' swag? lol

A-40:

Thanks for schooling fellas on this Maison thing!! I think you should charge a fee. . I have had countless arguments on this issue. And the Jeezy paying Lebron i'm paying Dwyane Wade part as well most cats i know still swear its Jesus he said

lol. They say he meant 'Mason' not 'Maison', but he said the name of the fashion house immediately after, so i don't even get their argument.

eldee:

It's simple . . . he was talking about girls that move into NY in search of fame/fortune and then decide to get it the rough way.
That line was about these chics that slag all week and then decide to go to church on Sundays to think it'll erase everything.
'Life starts when the church ends' - Your mistakes of last week don't automatically go away just because you spend one day a week in church and go back to your regular life.
Just see how the rest of the verse points to this.


who sip the lite casually, then gradually become worse,
don’t bite the apple Eve,
caught up in the in crowd,
now you're in-style,
and in the winter gets cold en vogue with your skin out,
the city of sin is a pity on a whim.
good girls gone bad, the city's filled with them,
Mommy took a bus trip and now she got her bust out,
everybody ride her, just like a bus route,
Hail Mary to the city your a Virgin,
and Jesus can’t save you life starts when the church ends,
came here for school, graduated to the high life,
ball players, rap stars, addicted to the limelight

How can you not like this song?? This is as metaphorical as the word goes.
From referencing the 'The big apple' to the way he played with words at the begining of the third verse.

I do agree that going to church and forgetting God after is a waste of time. But there's no one God can't save. So they do have a point if they say he blasphemed. Where there's life, there's hope. It's not over until 'she' dies. He shouldn't have said that either way.

He literally painted a mental picture of his endz in the first verse . . . I feel like I'm from NY.

lol
Why does everyone say that? Do they ride you like the bus route? :p
All he did was name drop throughout. The Game's rubbing off on him. lol
D.O.A and Run This Town imo were much better tracks. Run This Town would have been as popular if Rihanna could fxcking sing.

chiogo:

Funny 'cause I was just listening to that song and wondering about those lyrics too. Listening to it again

As a Jigga fan, I'll like to believe that he was implying like the saying goes , "Heaven helps those who help themselves" in Empire State of Mind, whien he said the "Jesus can’t save your life starts when the church ends".

That's one way to look at it. Not that I see the connection though. lol

But then again, it isn't just this song. It's hard to ignore his outbursts in other songs which show his anti-Christianity.

Such as?

I think he's just cocky as hell. In "Ain't I", he contradicts his whole "I'm the God" favorite phrase when he goes "No, I'm not God but I was made in his mold". Let's just say he's confused.

i.e. he's made in God's image, like you and I and I?

God MC has nothing to do with him being a god or anything. Isn't it more about his mic skills? That's like saying Rakim Allah is also a god. :S

Or that Lil Wayne is a Martian.

eldee:

What can I say, I was there checking out the Forever Young(which by the way is the hottest song out there right now) video when I came across a couple of erm . . . anti-Jay-Z videos.

I thought 'Already Home' was much better. The singy-songy-ness of Forever Young makes it less, appealing. Still a great song though.

To eliminate any chances of me influencing decisions, I'll try not to put in my own view so early into the topic.

These are some of the lines that have helped to fuel the controversy.

Hail Mary to the city your a Virgin,
and Jesus can’t save you life starts when the church ends
Empire State of Mind

I really didn't understand it. It sounded out of place and completely unnecessary. Poor rapping saved only by Alicia Keys singing. So I don't see why I'd even bother defending it. lol

I used to say 'bleep mic skills,' and never prayed to God, I prayed to
Gotti
D'evils

That's about money and power, not religion. Gotti was a powerful mob boss. Reasonable Doubt was all Mafioso (unlike M.I. lol)That was 1996. He can't have been a Mason/Illuminati then. Who the fidduck was he then? lol

Ain't nobody fresher
I'm in Maison (huh) Martin Margiela
Run This Town

Fashion designer?

next?

punchlines don't make a rapper. punchlines = filler. or Fabolous would be the G.O.A.T. right after Big L.

tell a nice story, paint a picture, show emotion, flow on the beat, don't force your rhymes, and you have a winner.

not 'more ice than a mountain/ flow like a fountain/'

that is why 'Talk about it' and 'crowd mentality' will always make more sense than 'safe'.

'If you don't have a mind of your own
Don't be disappointed, this is fine, be a clone
Listen to me rhyme, I'm done trying to be mine all alone
And to make things connect like a spine to a bone
I've changed my mind, I'd rather be the same as
All these fake-ass entertainers
Make bad music just to rock in arenas
Use words like (no bad language on radio)
Cuz I tried hard to make a difference
Make the kind of music youth could use as reference
Everybody else say 'Let's dance'
Who am I to tell 'em otherwise? That's a job for reverends
So I'm ready now to join the movement
Together press for negative improvement
Everybody unite, to forever end the search for light'

you're right. 'hardcore' hip hop heads listen to Lil' Wayne. lmao

Even though. Dre produced MMLP, Eminem Show, Relapse, Get Rich Or Die Tryin', Massacre, Documentary, etc. I wonder what Lil Jon could have sold to beat all that.

why are the ladies catching feelings? everyone has their preferences.

i don't think i'd like to date an overweight woman, but it doesn't mean i discriminate them, but i don't find them as attractive as the slim ones. especially if the slim ones are 'endowed'. i'm naturally very picky. we men are driven by our eyes. if we don't find someone attractive, we won't approach them, no matter how nice and if she has a heart of gold. i'm guessing it's something we'd like to see in someone we actually find attractive, not someone weighing 100kg.

exactly, e-eyes.

if you're in a hurry, join a dating site. lol

thankfully there don't seem to be too many here. lol
