Him being white probably has something to do with it, but he's one of the most talented and unique rappers ever so at least it's earned.

This basically.
Being black is like having your arms tied behind your back and being a woman is like being gagged so you can't speak. Yet somehow the combo is a degree of magnitude worse.

The shit black women go through would break other women. It'd have them on xanga expressing their feelings and uploading videos of them crying about how hard life is.
if someone says that they used to box, don't fuck with them
just seen a man get lit up like denzel in training day with the hands
you know its real when they don't even fall over after the combo - they just take a knee. like their spiritual self is forced to reflect on what the body just absorbed

Boxing is fun shit man, the boxing club I use to be a member of was legit. Granted it never produced champions and other bullshit 95% of these clubs claim. Some of the dudes in there *wipes brow*...I'd rather run up on a squad of cops. I got better odds.

I guess so if we're just counting his old stuff. Almost the whole list surprised me. As popular as Biggie is, he's not in the top 10. I would think he would be right there with 2Pac. I didn't think Nelly was popular enough to get top 10 status, and I like DMX, but also surprised for the same reasons. 50 Cent and Jay-Z are expected and I love that Bone Thugs and Outkast are in the top 10. I was thinking Snoop would beat out the doctor. I still see Beastie Boys as incredibly weird for the same reasons mentioned, plus I don't remember them getting much radio play or video play on Rap City, 106, and other Hip-Hop shows.
I'm upset at myself for not investing more time in boxing versus basketball and football. Had more fun sparring than I ever did in most seasons of hoops...
One of my oldhead chiefs at my old unit in Texas was the master roshi of the shit though. 47 years old handing out work to people of all ages and colors. I thought I could fuck with him just by being faster - led him while southpaw then step out back to my other foot (a guaranteed kill for the uninitiated :wow
but this dude saw straight through my jutsu with a smile and waltzed right into my kitchen the instant I moved my foot.... That moment when you realize someone is 3 feet closer to you than they should be and the duel is already over.
Didn't even touch me. Pat me on the back and let me walk out of the ring with the mark of the devourer on my chest... fear-tainted for life.
I got two words for you: crossover appeal.

Respect. I took Muay Thai my senior year when I moved back to the US but didn't stick with it since I went off to FL right after.

Got two of those in my gym
They taught me how to be a switch hitter which became a nightmare for their competitive team

Biggie would have made it. Life after death sold 10 million. But, besides the singles, ready to die was not going to sell a ton. He just died too soon.

I understand, had a Nightfall wipe earlier.

I am just numb to the shootings now. I don't even like reading about them. I don't know if I am just growing heartless, or it is just fucking old seeing the same arguments over and over again.
I think I will just go in my cone of silence and enjoy some of the ignorance that majority seems to love.

No one likes reading them, but I feel we have a responsibility to stay aware at least. I'm not saying delve deep every round, but know what's happening.

Feel the same way, its disheartening to see the same old same old and nothing changing. Few folks are trying to spread the word but its just that, a few folks.
That Berkeley shooting thread has me all types of upset right now.
That stream, bullshit streamer aside, makes it pretty clear that this is an unjust shooting, if that crowd is any indication.
However, the fact that some nigga just made up a story to the HuffPost and is laughing about the shit on Twitter?
Yo, fuck this shit.

The Beastie Boys had:
Crossover Appeal
Hipster Quirkyness
Longevity (Licensed to Ill was released in 1986 and they were pretty much touring and working until the death of Adam Yauch)
So it makes sense that they are on the list. They made their money back in the day, it was just a lot of money.

Even ignoring Roy's statement on the position of women in hip-hop, J. Cole has always done great numbers for himself. Born Sinner outsold Yeezus first week, too. Cole just has freak-of-nature success on the regular, and this year in particular is a horrible one for album sales.
1) Crossover Appeal
2) Painting a picture here; the Beastie Boys only put on 2 rap albums during the entire time 106 and Park was around.

Didn't feel it was necessary to make a thread about this but I need to vent about something BCGAF... got some shit on my mind and I want to hear the perspective from you guys. (Long read but I want to get this off my chest)
Basically an old buddy of mine had a cousin I recently found out about. Cute filipino girl. I decided to follow her on instagram which led to her following me back.
That led to both of us liking each other's pictures, which led to me DMing her, to getting her number to us texting each other. This was a week ago and the conversation was really good that whole time! We found out we both had a lot in common and despite our 3 year age difference she impressed me with her maturity. Very intelligent girl on top of being cute so her intelligence killed off the hesitance I had since I felt she was a little young for me.
As good as things seemed, the catch was that she is currently without a car (she's 18 and i'm 21) and she lives in San Diego while i'm currently staying at my brother's place in Riverside. She comes down to visit her cousin a lot so seeing her wasn't an issue. We also had a lot of mutual friends, surprisingly.
I found out through my buddy (her cousin) that she thought I was cute so I thought things were looking up since I'd been too busy to date (i'd also been dateless and a little lonely lol) this past year after getting out of a 3 year relationship back in january. We talked about meeting since she was coming to visit my buddy and her friends and family down here for the holidays so I was really looking forward to tuesday night this week.
So, after a quick almost 2 weeks flew by, I finally got to meet her. Before I left, my other buddy who's dating her best friend down here called me saying that he overheard her and his gf talking about this being a "test" because apparently I was too good to be true so far so she wanted to make sure I wasn't some kind of creep or something when we met in real life. She wanted to see if I really was the gentlemen I made myself seem in our conversations. I understood that since things really did feel natural between us and I wanted her to see that I really am what I claim to be. So I met up with her, her best friend and her best friend's bf in downtown and it was an okay time. I smiled and kept things very casual for our first time together. Not a single bit of awkwardness for the night, plus I made her laugh but I felt like I made everyone else in our group laugh way more than she did... I was definitely myself and I believe I have a pretty likable personality. I've had experience before with dating girls so it wasn't like I was new to it.
Everyone got a little hungry later on so we decided to head out to grab some food at a local mexican restaurant. On the drive there, she drove with me while my buddy was with his gf in their own car. We spoke about some things, and our convo in the car felt very natural. No awkward silence. Then I told her I was having a good time and that we should go on a date soon. That's when she said "...Yeah. Well, to be honest... I'm not sure if this could work out because I live 2 hours away... and I have no idea where this could go...". She had a real hesitant voice. I told her things could work out and the drive wasn't so bad but we should go with the flow on this anyways. She goes "...I guess you're right but I still don't know what i'm doing with this. Also could you not call it a date please? I feel uncomfortable with that term since we just officially met and I want to take things slow and using that term sounds like we're moving fast." I was totally understanding and told her that we'll just "hangout" as friends sometime. She seemed down but I could sense some kind of concern by the look on her face. She did like how I always opened the door for her and commented on that so I thought that was a good sign.
Fast forward to a mellow rest-of-the-evening, my buddy took her and his gf home since she's staying at his gf's house while she's in town. I went my separate way back to my apartment and gave me sort of a half-assed hug goodbye. lol I couldn't help shake this feeling that she wasn't feeling me so I decided to ask my buddy if I passed the "test". He said I definitely did in his opinion but that didn't assure me for some reason. I decided to text her so I sent her a text saying "hey! hope you had a good time tonight. it was a pleasure meeting you." which she responded with "Yeah it was chill hanging out with everyone! Haha imma knock out, goodnight!"
Now, i'm not sure what I think about all of this. I met a great girl who I thought I had a great night with but i'm not sure if she feels the same after meeting me. Am I over thinking things and being too doubtful? Should I still go on with us "hanging out"? It's been on my mind right now because i'm not sure if she's feeling me and I thought about asking her but I think it's a little too soon to assume things after 2 weeks of knowing each other. What do y'all think?
