ROFL! "You likened a model student 'toking on a Saturday night' to a surgeon having a martini while not on call..." NO I DIDN'T! It's in print, bitch!

Unscripted. It's choreographed... the outcome is decided... but those crazy bastards whup the shit out of each other. I agree with Frank Shamrock - "If anyone is gonna drop me on my head, they have to earn it."

WTF! :( :( :cry:

Sounds familiar! You know.... another group I like is The Coup... They tend to be pretty political (Boots Riley is a socialist). Boots spends most of his year teaching... and makes music or tours when he feels like it.

I kinda avoided Lupe for a touch... but kick push is dope. I was trying to find Summer Girls by Dino (approx '89) but couldn't really find it in video form on it's own... I did however run across this little pop gem ultimix which is very summery: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRhLB6k7H9U

Nice breakdown... Now... you could add to that even more by splitting your "lyrics" category into "lyrical content" and "lyrical delivery." BTW: an oft overlooked lyricist - Treach from Naughty by Nature - the dude could turn a phrase.

I'm too lazy to read that big-ass list! :p

I've got mad skateboard skills. My signature trick is the double-ulna-hyperextention with a backside radius shatter!

I gotta get off my hiney and edge that out for ya warflower! It would be fun to do a Beatking logo design... I'm no ground-up artist though. I'm so-so with image manipulation. Anyhoo... this is the track that sold me on Cat Power. And Rainbow, if you read this... that is GOOD MUSIC and HIP-HOP... now GET OFF MY LAWN!

Er... This is How We Do It? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhwjAaDKFRU

That would be Cat Power. Fell in love with her voice on the "I've Been Thinkin" track on Handsome Boy Modeling School's "White People" album. Original image:

A few others I did recently using "stock" photos:

Took a swing... the image was difficult for me because of the defined boarders and such... If you like, I could add a border... or erase the edges some to give it the rough edged look my sig has. Maybe I'll crack at it again if you don't like it. :p

Goof! Past tense... was. The original intention has been bastardized. In the clip he states that he believes that "art and information" should be shared freely. And I can totally agree that people should not profit off of the works of others.

"As long as they aren't doing it to make a profit... I would oppose that" Uh... yeah. Isn't that what copyright was supposed to be about? Not letting someone else PROFIT from your work?

Anything particular in mind?

Nein! I am nowhere near as talented as that guy. It's Aesop Rock. I mess around n stuff... make some beats here and there, rhyme if the right mood arises... but it's not something I would/will actively pursue. Maybe when school is all done, I might throw some things together. Not now though.

:p

Lol... Guess we'll find out if he's more about the message than the money, eh?

It's my photoshop work... :mellow: Started life as this image:

My new sig image! What you all think? If any of you have any pics you would like jazzed up, post them up, and I'll see what I can come up with!

What American accent do you have? (Best version so far) My Results: Midland ("Midland" is not necessarily the same thing as "Midwest") The default, lowest-common-denominator American accent that newscasters try to imitate. Since it's a neutral accent, just because you have a Midland accent doesn't mean you're from the Midland.

I grew up on the Nickelodeon's version.

The statue of Liberty's legs are backwards!

You hope it explodes in the lab... then you laugh.
