    Posted

    maybe he's not but he definately changed since he's hanging out with scientologists.

    So you telling me you've never changed the way you speak or act because of your friends mannerisms? Or started using different terms because some of your friends use them? Thats all thats happened to Will, just because his friends happen to be Scientologists, it doesnt make it any different.

  10. As Bolt breaks another record, is he near a limit?

    I agree! Bolt and only Bolt will be the one to shave time off the record. I find it amazing that Gay ran the fastest any American has ever one and it still wasn't good enough to beat Bolt

    Exactly, when I was watching I thought, how do you run 9.71 and lose? How demoralising can that be? He was only 2 thousands off of the WR at the time. Bolt is in a different league, 9.58 is insane, but I think he can go faster, which is even more insane. That dude jogs faster than most run.

    A Message from Lydia via Facebook Event

    Music is very important to me.

    Not Just mine, but all music. Thats why i'm elated to be able to present to you a slice of what's to come from me musically. A slice of my amazing journey, and the first record from a project that i will be releasing shortly.

    I hope and pray for the day that my music will be heard and loved by the vast masses, but even if that day never comes i'll always create and share music with whomever is willing to listen :-) Not for the fame, but because i love this. This part right here, the sharing part. It makes my heart so glad to be able to share this precious gift with you all.

    I present to you "Summer Vacation" i wrote this song one early morning sitting on my bed with the sun pouring in serving as the ultimate inspiration. I think its such a beautiful love story, told in an unconventional way. Im proud of this record that the BeatBanggahz and i have created, and its an honor to share it with you. Please....forward it to all of your friends, listen close and enjoy every second of it because it came straight from my heart.

    To me its more than just a song, its my work, my art, my labor of love. In a time when music isn't really valued i hope that you see the value in this record.

    Thank you so much, God Bless You! Enjoy!!

    yours truly, That "ROCK -N- B" chick,

    Lydia Caesar

    Downloaded it today.

    This dudes flow is so infectious it hardly matters to me what he's actually saying. Imma have to listen and try and ignore the flow to see if the lyrics have any substance. But I swear, he could rap in a foreign language and I'd be amazed by his flow

    Quick question: would you like that someone made fun of you insinuating you're a pedophile when it isn't true or when it has never been proven true?

    I still think that the fact that many comedians have made fun of it in the past doesn't make it any less offensive.

    I'm not saying I'd be happy about it, but it wouldnt bother me, because I know its not true, but then again, I've also never put myself in a situation where it could be insinuated.

    Whether he did anything or not, MJ made it very easy for people to make the accusations.

    I just can't agree with you. I think there are certain limits that shouldn't be surpassed.

    "Will Smith don't gotta cuss in his raps to sell records, well I do so **** him and **** you too", that's a joke. The moment when MJ loses his nose in the video, that's a joke. But when he is sitting on a bed with boys dancing around him... man, that can't be considered a joke. It's not only a comedy remark in one of his comedic rap songs. That's a personal attack. That's a big insult.

    I find it offensive, and MJ found it offensive, obviously:

    Jackson said he finds the video "offensive" and "demeaning," according to spokesperson Raymone Bain. "The entire video is inappropriate; it's not just one thing," Bain said. "He is very disappointed, he is very angry. It's one thing for there to be a spoof, it's another to be insensitive and disrespectful. It crossed the line."

    Was he supposed to laugh with it?

    I think you can't see how important and serious this is. Of course comedians can do/say what they want, but they will have to pay the consequences. Not everything should be allowed. This just can't be justified.

    Definitely, this is not what I call "entertainment".

    Dude as much as I love MJ and as much as I'm adament he didnt molest any of those kids, I found it funny. Even you have to admit that the stuff MJ has done over the years has made him an easy target for jokes like that. Just openly saying you've let someone elses little boy sleep in the same bed as you will raise suspicions because it's not the right thing to do. So you cant be surprised when someone makes fun of it.

    But, of the things that have been done and said about MJ, a little skit in an Eminem video is the least offensive. For me anyway.

    Chris Rock:

    That could be percieved as more offensive, but, I still laughed, and so did most of the crowd when he said it, a crowd that was probably full/contained a host of MJ fans.

    We wont agree, it's not my intention to change your opinion. But sometimes people take something that is said as a joke to heart, when all it really is, is a joke.

    That doesn't make it any better either. And I wouldn't call that just a joke, it's much more serious than that for me, a total lack of respect, especially because MJ was never declared guilty of those charges.

    Do you think Em did this because he likes and respects MJ? Excuse me, but that doesn't make any sense.

    I didnt say he did it because he likes and respects MJ, I said comedians making fun of MJ doesnt mean they dont respect him. We cant be too sensitive in this world, people make fun of people everyday. I'm sure you would laugh if anyone took the piss out of Eminems problems, I have. I laughed when Aries Spears and others called WS "n bomb light", it doesnt mean I like FP any less than I did before laughing at the joke. Because thats what they are, jokes.

    With the MJ line in Just Lose It, it was a joke, like Brakes said way back at the begining of this thread, it's entertainment. It's not like Em came out and said "I think MJ is a paedophile", he just made a comedic remark in a comedic rap song.

    My point is, when they say "Em's the greatest", who are they comparing him with if he's the only rapper they listen to? That's all.

    I just can't understand what people see in this clown, but oh well. To each his own.

    I understand your point, but, there is no definitive proof either way that they wouldnt still rank him best ever if they did know other rappers. Thats my point. Someones lack of knowledge doesnt mean they are overrating the person they do like. It just means they cant give a true assessment. Its the same with anything. And I'm not claiming they would still rank him the best either, because you cant tell.

    I'll tell what I see in him, and as I've always said, its when he's at his peak. For me, his flow is bananas, even when the arabic/annoying voice is used, once again, at his peak, i found his lyrics and complexity to his rhyme scheme second to none. His versatility is his content is pretty special, and he's made complex and intelligent rhymes go to the top of the charts, within an era when the beat is seen as the main component to a great song. For me, his only criticism is that he doesnt always deliver the very high standard his early career set for himself. I've never denied he's fell off, I've never denied his comedic tracks sometimes let him down, but for me, at his peak, he was one of a kind.

    I didnt say you had to like every thing a comedian says or does, I just said would you criticise a comedian for making fun of someone, coz thats all Eminem is doing.

    And yes, i might get some hate for this, but I did find it funny in Just Lose It, I've also laughed at numerous MJ jokes over the years, but thats all they are, jokes. There wont be many people that hasn't laughed or told an MJ joke (at least not anyone I know), but it doesnt affect mine or their fanship or respect for him. I've made fun of my friends and family over the years too, like anyone else has, that doesnt mean I love them any less.

    Yes I agree, a lot of teenagers are narrowminded and like Eminem for those reasons. I did myself when I was younger, then I learnt the history, but I still think he is one of the more creative emcees of our time. Like I said, some having a lack of knowledge doesnt mean their opinion is wrong or make who they think is the best ever overrated, because you cant assume that their opinion would change if they had the knowledge, mine didnt.

    I think I've said this before on this forum; Em peaked too early on in his career, which means anything after the first 3 albums is looked on as a dissapointment. If his career/releases had happened in reverse I believe peoples perception of him, who have the knowledge, would be different. At his peak, for me, he is one of the best lyrically, its just a shame his peak happened on his first 3 albums, instead of growing over his career. But from a personal stand point, with Relapse and this track, I see the old Shady returning. To each their own... but, his flow is mindboggling for me at times.
