Re: OT: D12 to the Lakers!!! - 9 months ago

Bynum was only half-healthy for their two recent championships. He played admirably considering his poor-health, but he was in no way the deciding factor in either series. This last year was his healthiest season, and we see how far the Lakers got with him. And don't bother saying that Kobe wasn't giving him his touches, because the problem with Bynum was NEVER on the offensive end. He is a m

Re: New Midnite Album ~ Anthology - 1 year ago

Midnite is one of the things in life that I am most thankful for. However, I have given up trying to convince my friends that don't like them to like them. They are just one of those groups that some people don't want to live without, and others cannot understand what all the hype is about. And that's ok!! I know there are plenty of artists that others love and whom I just can't get into. To

Re: SNWMF 2011 Welcomes The Expanders - 2 years ago

Quotemulligan i see that girl singer isn't in the picture. she sure pissed off (i think it was) roy shirley last time they played. Good to see them back tho. You are referring to Persephonie. She is a good friend of the band who was filling in on backup vocals for us that year. You must have mis-interpreted something you saw on stage, because she and Roy actually got along very well! Tha

Re: More Lakers Magic?! - 2 years ago

In a league comprised of the best basketball players in the world, you can't win two championships in a row based on luck. I can understand not liking a team, but it's absurd to say the back-to-back NBA champions suck. I hate Boston, but I would never say that they suck. Tell any professional basketball writer or commentator that the Lakers suck and they will tell you that you're crazy. It'

Re: More Lakers Magic?! - 2 years ago

All I know is that The Lakers are not much fun to watch this year. I can't really figure out why they are suddenly so mediocre, but it's really frustrating to sit through these games. On the other hand, I'm loving the other L.A. team this year. Sure, they can't win a game, but it's not so disappointing when they lose, and Blake Griffin is currently my favorite player in the league.

Re: Does a jamaican backing band make difference? - 3 years ago

check this link: the band is a mix of white and latino musicians from L.A. (ironically named "The Black Emeralds". pretty hard to find a jamaican band that sounds like this today, in my opinion. the DJ is Jah Faith from Trinidad, and the singer at the top is Sangie Davis.

Man, Courtney Melody sounded great! Just like 20 years ago. But I was bummed at how short his time on stage was. Not sure what happened there.

my favorite that I haven't seen here is "Full Cup" with Ras L. Maybe Vaughn's best rap/chanting style release.
