My wife and I just started watching DVD's of season 1. (we didn't join in until the end of that season) It is the weirdest sensation going between this season and season 1. So much of it crosses over, you feel like you are watching the same season. Anywho, I guess we will be able to watch the rest of season 1 now.
Which NWA do you like the most? Obviously Dre was the Brains of the outfit with the producing. EZ was the self proclaimed $ man who supposedly fronted tons of jack, which he aquired from slanging rocks. Cube and Ren could just straight up ryhme while DJ yella threw down some dope beats.
I think their are 3 or 4 ground breaking song throughout rap's history and "G thang" has to be # 1 or 2. Snoop's mellow rhymes really opened up a whole new genre or rap. He wasn't just spitting on the mike, it was melodic and rhythmic.
To me the quinticental list goes something like this:
Jay-Z
NAS
Snoop
LL Cool J
Ice Cube
Ice-T
Biggie
Tupac
Chuck D
Kurtis Blow
Slick Rick
Ludacris
Eminem
Doug E Fresh
I know I'm forgetting a lot of Old School Stuff...
I think a little homage to NWA(I know ez & dre are there) but Ice Cube was the second best in the Quartet. MC Ren was better than Cube, EZ and Dre.
Speaking of Dre, he is a great producer and beat creator, not so good with the flow.
ODB is a joke. I don't even think he takes himself seriously. If it's anyone from WU it's gotta be Method Man. I like everyone on the list. It was close between Snoop and Biggie. 50 cent seems like a thugged out version of Brittany Spears. Too much vanity, not enough flow.
No sick days.
No personal days.
I accrue 2.25 hours of vacation per 40 hours worked.
...and I consider myself to have a good a job. Maybe just not the best benefits. We also are forced to take vacation when things shut down or we don't get paid.
Bodie Miller is a loud mouth drunk who can't keep his mouth shut. Maybe I was stretching with the free country stuff but WTF, they don't owe the NFL anything.
Ummm...no. Every pivotal call in the game went against Seattle. A team can over come one or two horrilbe calls, but when every drive is thwarted by bogus calls, it raises a red flag in my book. Did Seattle screw up? Plenty. Could they have won the game if just one of those plays goes their way? Absolutely. Pittsburgh played as poorly as I've seen a SB winner play. Seattle won nearly every statistical category except for bull sh-- calls going their way.
After reading through this entire thread I am starting to understand why I don't see eye to eye with many people at TSW. Last time I checked, this was a free country and former NFL QB's can do as they please. The ceremony was unspectacular as best. The SuperBowl has turned into a giant whore suckling the teat of the world for all the jack they can cram into their pockets. That being said, this is America and if you want to cheapen your event with parlor tricks and theatrics go right ahead.
Everyone seems to deify anyone and anything to do with the Superbowl. It's a freaking football game.
