QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Sep 6, 2007 -> 11:07 PM) I hate Timbaland, but he was involved with the new M.I.A. record and I heart it. not really. He only came for one track, come around, which was a bonus track. Switch and Diplo and mya herself were the producers.

when kanye actually raps he's probably the most modest rapper you will find. In this album alone see everything i am, big brother, and can't tell me nothing. Let alone roses, addiction, touch the sky on LR and all falls down, family business and never let me down. I find the negativity against him hilarious, when a rockstar is arrogant to the press it used to be funny, when a rap star does it he's just an arrogant thug. Meanwhile our rockstars are now boring ass suburbanites that just love their fans so much!! ANd they were treated badly in high school! Kanye's evolution has been really interesting, and he takes a lot of chances with beats in his album, as seen by the daft punk and can samples. And as funny as the kanye hate is in this thread, the JT hate in the other thread is equally embarrassing to read. OMG YOU CAN"T LIKE JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE. Kid's a lot more talented than most of the bulls*** I hear, and he makes enjoyable pop music in the likes of Michael Jackson did decades before. A good pop song is harder to make than people give credit for. ANd his collaborations with the neptunes and timbaland have added legitimacy to his vocal talents, that seemed wishy washy behind the casio beats in nsync.

life.

contreras is a very attractive offer for milledge./green

a -5% chance of winning...hizzah. wow. Didn't see this coming. If I was cleveland I'd be embarassed.

eh, we had some weird calls yesterday. Like when mcgee goes to call time out, doesn't get it, oh, and also, play clock had expired, refs don't call that either, then the pass for 20 yards. Then Chase's non fumble fumble. A silly pass interference penalty. Oh well, jeremy macklin's a stud and our two TE's are still friggen awesome. I just hope we can outscore everyone and never have to punt with the worlds worst punter™. Also pinkel still makes so many dumb game time decisions.

these call ups excite me to watch the white sox!!!

u of i got too many bulls*** calls that deeply affected the game to b**** about the interception.

real version leaked, i can't wait any longer...11 minutes until i d/l it.

i'm going to buy it as well...but we are throwing a kanye west drop party and i feel it won't be as special if it's not new.

QUOTE(29andPoplar @ Aug 30, 2007 -> 08:37 PM) Seemed like the proper thread to do this in, copied below is Flash Tizzle's response to my specific query about whether he'd be willing to compose a letter to White Sox personnel and ask for responses to the topic he brings up just about every day. That is, the amateur draft issues, dealing with Boras, finding players in Latin America, acquiring prospects etc. I think everyone knows the song by now. Here is the response - (note: the other thread was a game thread and was closed and moved). "Several times? I recall once, and that's several posts above. I'm interested in improving our minor league system, don't get me wrong, but not to the extent where I'd physically take time composing an email/letter and address it to Hahn, Williams, Reinsdorf, Wilder, whomever else. I'm not interested in simple answers. It just doesn't seem worth the time. The real questions I'd ask, such as what exactly are our scouts in Latin American doing, or pleaing for them to quit the ridiculous opposition to Boras, probably wouldn't get true responses. I'm interested in results. What we can see on the field. They can bulls*** me all they want about taking steps to improve international scouting and their philosophical approach to drafting, but until these changes are evident on the diamond, what does it matter? I also understand it may take time for changes to be seen. However, if we're looking to contend for any division titles, these changes need to occur sooner rather than later. We can't have every prospect promoted struggling; which seems to happen nearly every time." Ok Flash I get it, you're not interested in physically taking time composing an email/letter and address it to whomever, it isn't worth the time to you. But it is worth the time to you to post the same stuff over and over on a message board, hoping against hope that White Sox personnel will see your posts, scratch their heads, and say hey, we should change things, this guy on the message board is a genius. Basically, it is easier to complain on a message board vs. getting specific answers to questions, because, well, it feels good to complain. I tell you what, I will compose the letter(s), I will ask the tough questions, I will do my best to arrange an interview(s) with the appropriate White Sox personnel to get some answers. And I suspect some of the answers will surprise you, but those answers likely won't resonate with you because you have a propensity to think that whatever they say will be "BS". From my view, I will take the steps necessary to get answers. Don't mention it, it's my pleasure. And by the way, this is nothing personal. I just thought since you spent so much time addressing these issues every day on this board, you might be interested in stepping up to the plate so others on this site can hear some answers from those who actually have influence. And my apologes if you hadn't seen my 3 previous requests about this, they have always been in threads responding to your posts on this very topic but I do know threads get closed/moved etc. so I do understand if you didn't see my posts. it's a message board. It's where we post opinions. I think if you are going to have a problem with that you might not have much fun here.

the clean version of k-wests' graduation leaked. I'm debating whether to grab it.

on top of being one of my favorite actors for his work w/ wes anderson he's also a great writer. Poor guy. Hope he finds strength.

get out while you can.

spoon and wilco comin to columbia

the only majors that should be discouraged are journalism and psychology.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 09:14 PM) I will feel your pain next semester, but as of now, J2100 and J2000 stink together, so mucg pointless reading. enjoy it, me and my friends divvyed up the readings for the quizzes. I'd have to cram for tests but i enjoyed the four weeks of free time.. And avoid kathryn reed in the public safety beat.

working at the missourian is just as hellish as I imagined.

i love watching the freshman first reacting to Brother Jeb.

man i still love brand new... year 3 at m-i-z.

I thought the raconteurs were pretty bad considering who was in the band. I deleted that album. i went to lolla on sat. b/c of free tickets. I only wanted to see daft punk (friday) but i saw rhymefest (bad compared to 1st time) the roots (bad compared to first time...what's with all the 10 min. bass solos), Yeah Yeah Yeahs (loved it) and Spoon (3rd time now...i love spoon but live they just don't do it for me). also i officially won't go ever buy tickets to lolla.

put me in the camp to have enjoyed the last two games immensely. I still love hawk as awful as he can be some times, like last nights "JERRY JERRRYYY JERRYY OH WHAT A CATCh"

who wants to compete with a pitcher that gives up 10 runs a game

nonetheless i'll take the pop of today over 10 years ago. Kelly clarkson, nelly furtado, rihanna, Justin timberlake are so much more listenable to me than that boy band s*** that was happening then. Even some pop emo i can handle more than rap/rock. I'll take fall out boy over kid rock. And hell i like JT and kelly clarkson and quite a bit of nelly. Timbaland entering pop music was good for everyone.
