The Ice T - Soulja Boy beef is legit!  Ice T is correct in stating the Soulja Boy killed hip-hop, although one could state that it was already dead or on life-support. Lee Priest/Trey Brewer dead  -vs- Paul Dillet's life support!

Stay Tuned!

At 36 years of age, Shaq is too old to be saying things like "Kobe couldn't do it without me". 

I've always liked and supported Shaq, but that was just f'n petty.

Having a kid at 16 brands you a whore for life. ;)  You're better off aborting it and saving face.  She and her boyfriend obviously do not know about what I call the "Insurance Policy".  Understandable, as it's kind of an advanced technique.
When you're about to bust, put it in her ass and let rip....BANG!  No kid.  This works and I swear by it.  Even if she's on the pill, the Insurance Policy is full proof.

disagree.  shaq was in the finals with orlando without Kobe.  He lost.
Together, they won 3 rings and lost the finals once.
Alone, kobe lost in the finals.

But only shaq managed to win in the finals alone, with the heat in 06.

Kobe pushed shaq out of town with all his talk about leading his team to the ring without shaq.  But he can't do it.  Maybe next year, yada yada.  But he had his stage to shine against a drama queen Celtics team who should have had their spirit broken in game 1.  Jordan would have won it in 5, we all know that.

Just because Gasol and Odom decided to shrink doesn't mean they aren't great players.

Jordan had a scrub named Cartwright would limped around and missed open layups.  He had horace Grant, whose confidence would get rattled and he'd throw up airballs. He had pippen who was very good, but very close to odom.  He had BJ armstrong, who was 6 foot nothing and could shoot but didn't have the posting power of Derek Fischer down there.

Kobe had a good team.  You put 1993 MJ in his place on the 08 lakers, and we both know Boston is sitll crying today...

Even in light of all the holes in the team game, L.A. had a very legitimate shot to win it in 5 games (they gave away Game 1 and should've stolen Game 2) and, at worse, should've come back to Boston up 3-2 in the series. 

Epic screw-up by Garnett of his Adidas commercial in the post-game interview.  He shouted "Anything is possible!", but the actual line should've been "Impossible is nothing".   hahahaha

  Most blacks are such pieces of shit racists. Observe how "Shaq" mentions how pathetic and weak the "white boys" are. Hey, you ugly monkey, it is the "white boys" who buy the tickets to watch you play which allows you to buy your expensive cars, to live in a mansion and to have legions of whores wanting to put out to you. If white people boycotted these black athletes every time they said something offensive or condescending about white people, they would finally realize who pays their paycheck and they stop.

  If you understood the I.F.B.B's judging procedure, you would comprehend that Yates has everything Ronnie has but with less flaws, such as superior musco-skeletal symmetry and conditioning. Unfortunately, your limited intellectual capabilities precludes you from understanding this, so you pic who's the best of the two based on fanboyism and not logical deliberation. Nothing wrong with that, but please don't try to pass your uneducated opinion as a statement of fact. ;)

I dunno.  Kobe is a cole MFer, but Michael was just *colder*.

Jordan looks like he'd slash a man's throat to win.  He just WANTED it.  Kobe looked scared before game 6.  "it's like the Elite 8... win 3 games... i'll take that".

Jordan would have been a MAN under that situation.  Kobe was a kid. 


And mike was a competitor.  After games, he'd be up all night playing cards.  He'd be in the weight room in the AM.  He'd hit a Hooters girl (many in Sarasota knew him well) and he'd be at pregame focused.  Jordan lived to compete.  Even got in trobule for gambling on golf, remember?  Jordan lived to compete.  Kobe is immensely talented, but mentally, he's only 90% to Jordan's 100%.  Maybe less.  Maybe 80%.

You know What man, u cant be mad at the soulja boys and MIMS etc, even though that shit has fuck all substance, its made em millioniares (Maybe) but its like me or you doing a drug deal, we deal it, get the cash and run, thats all there doing, in and out, they wont be relevant in 3 months.

 50 cent, Nelly, etc commercial rappers but they been in the game 6-7 yrs and still selling, Nelly may have dropped a bit cause lately his singles have sucked. Everyones like Nas is better, and all that comparision shit, Nas is a better lyricist then all of them but doesnt have the fan base nelly and 50 has, so what im trying to say is that if you market yourself well u can survive..but that soulja boy "superman" shit will make u money but kill ur career..same goes for Flo-rida

What the rap game has really come to is the commercial marketing of "Urban America". That 's what it boils down to, whether it be music, a look, or a stereotype, the higher ups have seen to it, that they will market, what "they" see as Urban (and it is thru a small prism of reality). A lot of these idiots going around claiming they are hard or Thugs, like  (Lil' Wayne) are the polar opposite...they are told and marketed that way.

Gen y ( hip hop fans ) spends hundreds of billions annually, and they will surpass baby boomes soon. Gen y actually spends their money, while other generations have a large portion that save it. Anyone who has not seen this, or refuses to accept this fact - will be left in the dust. Hip hop reaches every type of consumer out there in the 12 - 34 demo, and they will soon be the most powerful spending force on the earth.

You can make fun of rappers, but you cannot deny the power their audience has in the market place.

Will smith, well his not a product of this era, but he opened up other avenues for these guys.


Hip hop is the rock n roll of our era, and the spending power the fans posses is gigantic....think about it, the spending power of young adults in America. Savvy tycoons and investors picked up on this years ago. Chrysler did it with the 300, and now all the tanking car brands - (Pontiac), are trying to follow suit. The only problem is, they are trying to hard. Hip hop, and effective hip hop marketing - is promoting the lifestyle, not the brand.

All the most successful brands are doing it. Coke, Pepsi, Mcdonalds, Apple - you name it. Aside from marketing 101 - (giving consumers their wants and needs), you need to connect with them on a personnel level. You need to have a great product, and back it up with smart marketing. I'm not saying the companys that shoot for the older demo should use hip hop culture - ( that would be foolish), but the real money is in the youth of today, and THAT is why hip hop is so valuable. Anyone who sas otherwsie is a baffon, hip hop (and country, haha) generate gigantic dollars.

Apple is a perfect example of this.... They are by far the most powerful company when it comes to 1.) brand loyalty, and 2.) effectiveness of their marketing campaigns. While they don't have all their dollars tied up in hip hop, the culture and the genre is a huge part of there vibe.

If you don't buy into hip hop, you are behind in the times, period..
