I might need 1 or 2 more people to help us right crap, if your interested. Trying to make it like a forum just to talk sports, with no rules.

Thanks for the offer.

What are you trying to do with the website? I used to run a couple of sports blogs that did alright, never had enough content coming up to keep it running since it was just me, otherwise it went pretty well. I can run everything on the back end and make the site visually aesthetic, since it frankly isn't right now (no offense).

Yea, we took down everything that was up and re-doing the site again. It looked a lot better this morning/afternoon. I'll hit you up if I have any questions about running it.

I'm not going to say much on this and hell, I'm not going to read the threads on the Current Affairs or the General Board because I have a feeling I already know what the majority of the posts are like. Zimmerman, in my opinion, is a murderer. The self-defense claim seems like bull to me. However, I honestly don't give a :censored:

if he killed him due to race. All the activists and celebrities bring that subject into it just to make it a national story, which to me is a letdown of Americans that we only pay attention to a crime story when race is an issue when so many black people (and other minorities) are killed every year. The story is Zimmerman killed a 17-year-old and is possibly getting away with it and the reason for the last part may not be race, but because his father is a retired judge. Should race matter in our views on this story? No, but we continue to make it matter. I say :censored:

hate crimes. I think everyone should be punished the same way for a crime regardless of motives.

On to a lighter subject..

..anyways, I recently decided to finally sit down and listen to Kanye's latest albums. Not sure why it took me so long to give My beautiful dark twisted fantasy a shot. I'm loving it is so far... though I think he over did it with the guest appearances.

Kanye has some songs that I really like in MBDTF, and in Watch the Throne, but man, I just feel like he fudges his songs with so much extra crap. Like a lot of them could easily be 1-2 minutes shorter.

And the songs that I really want to listen to (for example, N***** in Paris, or Gotta Have It) are way too short.

It's frustrating, lol, I can't really enjoy his songs to the fullest, cuz they either end too soon or they drag on forever with filler.

Lupe is where it's at.

Not anymore, all his stuff from the past couple of years have been absolute garbage

Huh???

Lasers was a bit of a sell-out, but there were some nice songs on there...

This might be my all-time favorite Lupe song, think it came out just before Lasers:

And Food & Liquor and The Cool were nice as hell too.

lol, IDK man, I definitely disagree, I think Lupe's awesome.

I understand your frustration... but for those long songs you can alter them in Movie Maker. For example, Runaway lasts 9 minutes, 5 of those with no lyrics at the end. I just cut it off and made the song fade as it finishes.

Love that track and yes it came out just before Lasers. Everything he's done since Lasers has just been unlistenable to me. F&L and The Cool are 2 of my favorite albums of all time, I can listen to that any day of the week and still remember most of the lyrics from those albums.

I loved Lupe to death, but he's taken a weird turn artistically as of recent and it's just not a smart move. I really hope he goes back to a more F&L feel for F&L II.

I think before Lasers was released, he was on record that he didn't like the album and a lot had to do with his label.

Yeah and that was cool, I didn't mind that because at least he said he didn't like it (even though why release it if you don't like it? I know it was petitioned to be released but still, if it wasn't good why do it?), but if that album had Go To Sleep, I'm Beaming on it I would've liked the album far more.

Since then he's just been releasing garbage, and it's really disappointing for me since I was a huge fan.

therealbig3 · Post #195 » by **therealbig3** » Mon Mar 26, 2012 10:27 am

I still liked Lasers though, thought he sold out a little on some of them, and I guess it's because the record company pressured him to, so whatever.

Liked Letting Go, Words I Never Said, and Show Goes On a lot. Shining Down was a single that was released before Lasers that was pretty awesome too.

Haven't listened to his post-Lasers stuff really (just waiting for F&L 2), what songs are you talking about exactly?

therealbig3 · Post #196 » by **therealbig3** » Mon Mar 26, 2012 10:28 am

And didn't his record company basically say "do it like this or no album"? I guess he wanted to at least put some good stuff out there, even though it had to be mixed in with some crap. And at the end of the day, I guess he just wasn't a fan of it.

I wouldn't be surprised that he is and I wouldn't be surprised that he wouldn't be deserving to start by then as well.

The 2 single most overrated quarterbacks in the league, maybe overrated players period and they both play for the Jets and will likely create a quarterback controversy before their bye week.
