QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 15, 2008 -> 01:04 PM) What the heck does that mean? Pretty much every episode is a cliffhanger so couldn't they say the finale started 8 episodes ago and part 9 is tonight? But season finale cliffhangers offer 1.5 times as much WTF as intra-season ones!

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Sep 15, 2007 -> 12:26 PM) I've got it too. "Bouncin' Off The Walls" is easily my favorite track on the Talent Fest CD. Talk about a great PNS beat. I also love the Undaground Solution track "Sandbox". Funny, I just googled it and it's as if it didn't exist! Like three results on the entire intarweb. Must rip this for the world!

I will peep them. I purchased Vakill's album because of a gushing Reader article and was sorely disappointed, then DLed the first one thinking it'd be better, and while the similes were clever (if a bit stylistically outdated-sounding), I didn't really get into the music. The beats were well-produced from a sound quality standpoint but nothing grabbed me. Thanks for the calm response. I was a little buzzed/ornery last night, hence my Kanye-esque tone. BTW, I purchased the Talent Fest CD when it came out based on hearing "Bouncin' Off The Walls" on WHPK. Do I get any oldschool props for that?

Re: Molemen: Those guys fell the f__k off and were never that great, only solid and prolific. The beats on Vakill's last album were lifeless. Re: Finding Forever: Every song is pretty memorable, has a really organic feel. I think it will stand up well. It's aimed at the mainstream (which is fine) so it's kind of absurd to compare it to a backpacker classic like Resurrection. Re: Graduation: Just listened to it on headphones for the first time on a LONG CTA trip home. The beats and production are glossy and amazing. HJ, on "Big Brother" he says "No ID my mentor" on every chorus. As for lyrics, I think what people (including myself) like about Ye is that it's just raw uncensored personality put into verse. Yeah right now it's as much about the life of a celebrity as anything else but that's what he is now--a Chicago kid turned into a huge celeb--so it's "real" in a weird way. I'd rather hear ANYONE putting their raw unfiltered expression on a rap than some contrived bulls***.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Sep 14, 2007 -> 03:38 PM) You still living in Uptown? Emotionally, yeah!

Penicillin on Wax has great beats and memorable, if crude, lyrics. His album with Kool Keith as Ultra, Big Time, has actually stood the test of time pretty well. At the very least he's provided vocal samples for hardcore techno artists (e.g. "Step to me if you're ready/You get chopped with a motherf***in' machete") for decades to come.

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Jun 12, 2007 -> 04:13 PM) Link here. bad link.

Good to hear but WTF took them so long? I've watched the once (somewhat) bustling commercial strip of Halsted St. shrivel up while USCF turned into a suburban-style tailgater's paradise. Truly depressing. The mayor and the whole rest of the city gets the Urbanism thing, why does Daley's team and 'hood not?

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 03:14 PM) CG SOHey dawg, how long you had your sig?

I can't get into chicks I've seen go from little girls to "women". Feel like a dirty old uncle.

Screw being excited about the wild card race, the sox are playing crappy baseball and the wild card is a joke. If my Illini are crappy in basketball next year you gonna tell me that we still have a shot at the Big 10 championship cause of the conference tournament?

you guys are a bunch of dorks

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jul 19, 2006 -> 03:00 PM) The rules do not apply to cops. duh. they can go through lights and drive the wrong way on one way streets too. oh and carry guns. seriously, it's not as if they enforce the cellphone while driving ban.

QUOTE(iamshack @ Jul 17, 2006 -> 02:39 PM) I just don't think the Cubs would ever deal us one of their star players (or even fallen stars such as Prior) simply because of the manner in which it would upset their fans.Plus Zambrano acts like a big annoying baby. Man it's a good thing I'm not a GM, eh?
