Got about 2 hours to go here in NJ before New Years. I wish everyone here a wonderful New Year, and please be safe if you go out drinking!

Oh, and the other thing about Jay-Z is many of his greatest lines are ones he bit from other rappers. Here's 7min of him biting other rappers rhymes... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybEZF4Vbe3A

Not true. I remember all the way back on X-Mas day 2003 the Magic wore their black uni's at home vs. the Cavs, and I've seen many, many teams use their away/alternate jersey's at home since then.

LeBron's track record in the post-season has been amazing for his career. And you're a troll because you constantly hate on LBJ, troll threads about him, avoid facts and go off your misguided emotions.

Out of all the videos you could have posted, you posted THAT one? The one where Jay-Z got RIPPED in his own song? Royce Da 5'9 spit better verses in the original Renegade with Em. In Renegade Jay got ripped just like in this freestyle... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYfKMIdoJL0 I posted a few Canibus videos and that Big L one, and you posted Em blowing Jay away in his own song, but here is at least one song from each of the rappers I posted before that blow Jay's verses in Renegade out of the water... Nas/AZ: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCnqDvvZrcM Immortal Technique: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M72zVuBNpEA Big Pun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLdAIyC6hYc

1) Agree. 2) Disagree...I'd say Utah or OKC is more overrated. 3) Right now, I agree.

I love Rakim. Never was a big fan of KRS-One, always thought his rhyme scheme was too simple and his actually songs aren't very good. Rakim was a genius, though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3rPeVvte0U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JdvMypE6bw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWJLXU1rxSo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwUxHH1G6Do Listen to those. He may not have the swagger that Jay-Z has or the kind of music people can dance to, but lyrically he is absolutely unbelievable. His vocabulary, knowledge, flow, and metaphores is out of this world. I agree that Reasonable Doubt was a GREAT album, but as I said in my previous post, those other albums by those other rappers I listed are all better IMO (and all noted as classics, besides maybe Revolutionary Pt II because Technique is underground). I just think Jay doesn't have the raw talent to be considered a top 5 all-time rapper, and to me R.D isn't good enough to push him into that position.

He has a way better discography than any of those guys...WHAT?!? IMO, Illmatic, It Was Written, Stillmatic, Capital Punishment, Revolutionary Volume 2, Slim Shady/Marshall Mathers LP, The Eminem Show, All Eyez On Me, Ready to Die, Black on Both Sides, Doe or Die, Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous, The Big Picture, and Paid In Full are ALL better than any album Jay-Z has made (his best being Reasonable Doubt IMO). Jay does have a longer discography than most of them, mainly because 4 of them are dead, and a few of them are underground or haven't put out many albums. But, at their best they were/are all better than Jay-Z IMO. Jay does have great wordplay, but not better wordplay than Em, Big L, Biggie, Big Pun or AZ, and it's not even close. He doesn't come close to the rhyming abilities of those guys, Nas, Immortal Technique, Rakim or Canibus. His songs don't have as much deepness as Nas, Rakim, Canibus, Em, Mos Def or Immortal Technique. He doesn't have the flow of Biggie, Pun, Em, L or AZ. He doesn't have the creativeness of Nas or Em. He doesn't have any strong political idealogies like Mos Def or Technique. He doesn't have the punchlines that Technique, L or 'Bis do. He doesn't have as complex of a flow as most of those guys do. I never got the fascination with Jay-Z. I always really, really liked him, but he does nothing in particular that's so great which sets him apart from the pack like those guys do.

I used to lift in my room, and a lot of times I was the only person in the house when I had time to lift. Besides, it is perfectly safe to lift without a spotter as long as you keep the clamps off, so if you fail on a rep and get in that position, you can just slide the weights off. In that video the bar got caught on the pin that adjusts the rack (so it can go up and down), which is why that looked so bad. But I never had problems with that method. ^^Cali- Drugs and laziness are why.

Jay is a very good rapper, but lyrically he isn't on the level of the all-time greats IMO. From a lyrical standpoint he isn't on the level of Nas, Big L, Em, Immortal Technique, Biggie, Canibus, Rakim, Pac, AZ, Mos Def, etc...

You've never done it so you have no idea if it's whack. Alcohol is whack...comparably addictive physically, you get a lot more sick, a lot less euphoria, a hangover, and it is far more dangerous to drive on or be around people in general. It's also more damaging to the body and mind, and is the only drug you can actually die from the withdrawals. But, because it's socially acceptable and a product of big business, everyone turns their head. Heroin isn't anything like what people think it is...take a few pain killers and it's virtually the exact same thing.

If the Cavs wanted to win more than 1 game in December they should have entered the WNBA... ROFL LMAO HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! Troll.

Haha yeah that sucked. I was going for 290 right after I took the video of me doing 285, and it was just bad lol.

I'd like to see him enter, but honestly I don't think he's an awfully creative dunker, and he's lost a tiny bit of the hops he had a few years ago. It'd probably be best fot himself if he stayed away from it, but the dunk contest desperately needs star power. Ever since the dunk contest where Josh Smith jumped over Kenyon and Amare finished the alley-oop off Nash's head, the contest has been brutal to watch. I miss the J-Rich and Desmond Mason duels -_-

Heroin. 7:30 virus stamp from good ole Newark.

1. Nas 2. Big L 3. Eminem 4. Immortal Technique 5. Big Pun 6. 2Pac 7. Rakim 8. AZ 9. Biggie 10. Canibus

Now I can only bench about 205-210, but back in my senior year of high school (end of 2008) I was able to bench 315. I started doing mad drugs and lost a lot of strength and muscle, and since then I haven't gotten consistently back into lifting. Below is me benching 285 when I was a high school junior... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjpn7NE5hnE

Just coagulated blood and leftover dope solution...YUMMM HUNNY.

Melo isn't worth all that. He is a great player, but that kind of deal should only be made for a LeBron caliber player, not Melo. I don't get how the Nuggets think they can be this stingy when they don't have a ton of leverage. Melo needs to get traded to get his contract extension before the new CBA, and the Nuggets will get nothing in return if they stay this bone-headed. They both have major stake in this situation's resolution, so both parties need to make some compromises.

How so? Paul is better than Rose (more efficient from the field, 3 and FT line, a much better passer who averages less turnovers, a better rebounder, and better defender), Manu is much better than this year's Brandon Roy, Pierce is slightly better than Gay, Griffin is better than Love, Bogut is more well rounded and a much better defender than Bynum, Arenas is better than Jameer, Brown is better than Thorton, Lamar is better than Wallace, Blair and Kenyon are a wash, and Chandler and Okafor are about a wash. By my count, the individual matchups are 6-2-2 in favor of Team A. Besides the individual matchups, Team is A is better defensively and has more balance offensively.

[expletive] my arms are a wreck. I've shot 3 bags of dope today and on this last shot it took me 20min to find a vein. It feels like my arms are on fire and I'm starting to bruise. The dope is mad good, though, so it was worth it and I don't feel the pain :glasses:

Team A. Better offensive balance and a stronger defense.

I wouldn't until the offseason. Right now Anthony is the only Center on the roster with anything that resembles athleticism, making him a valuable asset against teams with quick big men and/or great team ball movement that forces the Center to make fast rotations. However, if they could somehow acquire a quick Center in the offseason that has some size and rebounding ability, then I wouldn't hesitate to trade Anthony. Against teams with big men who have size and strong rebounding ability, Anthony gets exposed and becomes a liability, and if the Heat can find a legit starting Center then he'd be useless. In that case, I'd roll the dice on a raw project like Thabeet and get a chance to unlock his potential. But relying on him right now, without him proving anything on the NBA level yet, would be too much of a risk.

Simple answer...for the majority of the season they've had midgets play the frontcourt positions, and after the trade they have less talent than they had before.
