Speaking about rapping and our own material, I was wondering if you guys would be interested in the revival of the 'Post Your Lines' thread in the Hip-Hop forum. Sort of like a cypher to just rap about anything, but no battling. I know it was closed due to the possible battles, but I brought the topic up with Hunter recently and there's a possibility it would come back with some enforced rules.

I would... I never understood why we got rid of it in the first place. I don't even think it constitutes as a personal attack either since none of us take it personal. Besides, you really shouldn't take anything personally on the internet anyways.

Most people actually do sadly enough. However, time to get over the whole Rap battle thing because it isn't coming back as far as I know.

We aren't talking about rap battling though, just a thread where we could keystyle.

But no one on the site took anything personally, so that's the only thing that matters.

Honestly, what's the difference with battling and for someone to make a joke about Umair's porn 'stache?

That is a great point. Maybe there should be a poll to see what the rest of the members think.

Well I was going to work today with my Wizards/Jordan jersey, and I ended up meeting Eddie Jordan's cousin, very surprising stuff.

I never argued against anything so don't ask me about it. I'm just making it clear that not everyone is going to take something as a joke because words online do not express true emotions and can be taken the wrong way. There may have not been any bad problems before, but you never know with future members, especially younger ones. That's likely the main reason behind the battles being banned from JBB.

Does anyone know where I can find either a 4XL or 5XL mens DC or Famous brand hoodie? I'm birthday shopping.

Fact is that you're going to have a hard time finding any famous brand name hoodie or clothing in general over 3XL unless it is custom made or retailed to specific shops.

For starters try visiting or calling your local Casual Male XL or Casual Male Big & Tall. They usually carry high quality (usually not flashy) hoodies, most notably for sports teams.

Here's an item I found from a Casual Male online shop.

I didn't feel like posting this in the Gear section, just want quick opinions.

What do you guys think of these shoes for 70 bucks? These are the new Goodyear Adidas.

Anything from Adidas is overpriced, but usually has high quality.

They're nasty to me. Pick up a pair of Air Max 95's in that colorway.

Air Max 95's are horrible looking. They're too busy. As for posting Youtube videos, maybe you'd like to check the other stickied thread that is specifically titled "Posting Youtube videos."

low top Air Forces>Any other casual sneaker

 

[umair]

^ You don't like high tops? I was going to get High Top All white Air Forces.

 

[B.e.]

I like em all but nothing beats a pair of low top forces, all whites are pointless to buy to.

I listen to alot of Dance music. Mainly hardstyle, house, hard house, electro, trance, hard trance, progressive etc.

Man, I really need a girlfriend

The majority of my friends have partners, its kind of depressing sitting there with 4 couples snuggled up watching a movie together and you're sitting there by yourself

I guess I just want somthing like that.

You mean low cut? Air forces are played out anyways.

I finally broke down and did it.........something I'd say that I never would do..............tempted by a friend who uses it (and it works for him)...THE DREAM just made a lavalife account..............something seems so weird about meeting people over the internet.........

Is that online dating?

I've got friends who've done it to mixed reviews. I don't think any of their relationships lasted, but don't feel freaked out, because they were all young, relatively good looking people. There was a time when people would have thought that sharing intimate information and day to day activities (like blogging, myspace, etc.) was a bit crazy, but now it's so commonplace that everyone does it. I'd say online dating's almost to that level of acceptance.

Anyway, I've got a court date tomorrow, so I just cut off my hair, which I was half-way through having my gf's sister dread, and it was looking nice too. They were a good medium between being too thin and too thick. I was starting to pull of what I always wanted to, dread locks without looking too Rastafarian. I shaved too, and I had them leave enough hair over my ears so they wouldn't tell they were pierced.

I have my good slacks, a button-down shirt, a sportcoat and my tie all set out on my couch right now. I feel like I'm ten years old and getting ready to go to church again.

My brother got picked up a day or so ago, having violated the terms of his plea agreement, and is officially in state now though. Not only did he get charged with misdemeanor drug posession but also every charge they threw at him the first time around, which wound up as a class C felony in the state of Tennessee. He has his first parole opportunity coming up soon though, and his lawyer said as long as he doesn't get in any trouble while on the inside, they'll likely release him on probation. I'm getting a tattoo in his honor. Half to remind me of how precious life is and how backwards government is, and half because I've just always sort of wanted a monumental event in my life to get a tattoo of. I hate tattoos that are just there for looks. I wanted one with purpose, and as twisted as that sounds to say with this in perspective, now I'll have a good purpose.

It's a great method of meeting people man, I dunno, most people probably see it as a 'geeky' type way of meeting people, but I actually prefer it much more than meeting people face to face for the first time. It's good because you dont have that approach anxiety that you do when trying to meet some one, and you dont have to f*** around with like pick up lines, buying drinks, trying to be a charmer etc. etc. You can just have a straight up conversation to the person, and find out what they're about. Then when it comes time to meeting them in person, you're both excited about meeting one another, and you already know quite alot about this person, so it makes it much easier to get along with.

I've met 2 girls off the internet now (from a Nightclub message board down here) and they have become very close friends of mine in everyday life.

 

[Karma]

Man, there was this gorgeous girl I was talking to today (she initiated the convo, I didn't even notice her at first) that I ended up swapping emails with. I hadn't asked her what age she was (I assumed she was 17-18-19 cause she looked that way), and it turns out she's actually 15(!).

The girl at work I mentioned a while back ended up being 3 years older than me and she was interested, and this one is 3 years younger and she's interested. Seems like I can't find anyone my age to be interested in

And NTC, what Dance artists do you listen to?

That's happened to me before. Actually, it was two couples, and I was in the middle. One on one side, and one on the other. God, that was awkward lol...I was like 12 at the time.

<div class="quote_poster">Karma Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">And NTC, what Dance artists do you listen to?</div>

I listen to alot of, but some of my favourites: The Prodigy, Benny Benassi, Nick Terranova, Austin Leeds, Erick Morillo, Michael Gray, S?bastien L?ger, Dave Seaman, Robbie Rivera, Steve Lawler, Danny Tenaglia, Sasha, Darude, Sander van Doorn, Paul van Dyk, Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Paul Oakenfold, Scot Project, Blutonium Boy, The Prophet, Activator

What about you, who do you listen to? If you want some reccomendations or somthing, I'll be happy to hook you up, I got a massive collection

</div>

Honestly, those are the only 2 that I've heard from that list, and neither of them are really Europop/Dance, they're more of trance/techno I believe. Darude is sick though..."Feel The Beat", "Next To You" and "Sandstorm" are all great songs. I want to hear more of his songs, any songs you reccomend?

As far as Eurodance goes, I listen to Akcent, Alexia, some ATC, Cascada, DHT, Daft Punk (not exactly Eurodance though), DJ Sammy, Eiffel 65, Elissa, Emjay, Fragma, JK, Joee (my favourite Dance artist...he's Canadian), Solid Base, The Underdog Project, Sash, and Sarina Paris. Most of these artists are (or used to be), pushed more so in Canada, so I'm not sure about thier exposure in Australia. But, you really need to check out Joee and Sarina Paris, both of them have a great collection of songs.
