[akajae]

[IATT]

Rap from the earliest of days. Basically up until like 94-95. All those super OGS and founding father type dudes.

Nah exaggerations based off being misled by analytics is different from backing up your player. It also makes them look foolish constantly praising and slurping that player who was routinely come up short when it matters. It's almost like they know he hears the critics (which are legit) so he overcompensates and says outlandish **** to make him feel better. Intelligent folks see right thru that bs. And what makes him an above average gm? The lin contract? Signing then cutting melo for no reason? Dudes been getting a pass for too long..

bro u sound real emotional rn lmao

 

[IATT]

referring to 80s and 90s rap

aint gotta be born in the 30s or 40s to know about the temptations, sam cooke, motown or sinatra

aint gotta be born in the 60s or 70s to know about prince or MJ

 

[getback]

A lot of this sh*t still knocks.

I Was spit balling years but fine.

The dudes like Rakim, EPMD, RUN DMC, those dudes. All the dudes who started rapping first. I'm not gonna sit here and go back and forth about it. I felt like it was obvious the kind of people I was referring to.

I just can't rock with it. ME.

 

[storm2006]

B Sox it’s gonna be a long week. How many days until actual hoops again

trust, I know. I don't agree with that guy.

Also not sure how dudes were rapping off beat and about nothing like today's rappers aren't

 

[pmatic]

I gave up arguing musical preferences about 10 years ago and my life is better for it.

 

[IATT]

would think dudes would give a little more respect to 80s rap when you just had NWA do as well as it did

and especially with all this mumble dumb shhh that comes out now

Like 2.5 long days

Thursday at 5:30AM vs Australia

 

[moonman818]

A lot of people listening to a lot of garbage **** just to stay unwashed

 

[IATT]

yea.. there is a difference between arguing preference and just sayin dumb sh

for example, i prefer prince over MJ and i believe him to be the far better musician

however, to dimension what MJ did or to say MJ's music doesnt hold up in comparison to say chris brown's because MJ's music came out 30-40 years ago would just be dumb

 

[antidope]

Who said that? Not Me. You win though. Back to basketball

 

[wavycrocket]

Everybody should listen to that new Thug tho. Album absolute fire

 

[tay1]

A lot of people listening to a lot of garbage **** just to stay unwashed

[tay1]

That’s awful for both east and west coasters. I’m working from home this week so I might make it work.

Definitely not watching live. Will record and watch whenever I wake up. The one after is very do-able though.

Man, I got so much on my mind these days that I can barely sleep so I legit might be up. Plus I got customers, suppliers, coworkers, etc that I’m accountable for in almost every timezone so I just sleep when I can but I’m constantly checking e-mail and getting naps, moreso than sleep, in

This writer must have asked like two random players for these polls.

In his one where he asked who was going to be the most successful rookie the dude had Cam Reddish at 1 and DeAndre Hunter at 3. Zion and RJ weren’t even in the top 5.
