2 things regarding Wayne- 1) He got extremely rich, popular, went to jail, and took up skateboarding to the extreme....all things that can take away from your love of the music, and dedication to pushing your own boundaries. It seems like he's settled on a certain style that he knows gets radio play and will bring him in money, and he's basically recycling a thousand times over. 2) He was never that talented to begin with. When his old stuff came out it was pretty different from what was coming out at the time, specifically in regards to flow and voice. Now that people have become saturated with his music, it simply doesn't hit us like it used to. That is where lyrical talent comes in. When you are one of the elite rappers, you can successfully create new concepts, go in new directions, and talk about new things while keeping true to yourself and style. That is how guys like Jay and Nas have remained so consistent over 20 years. Talent will always prevail.

The Korean word means "50", it's pronounced 'shwin' and it used to be integrated in my old avatar: http://i.imgur.com/RMs81.jpg The writing in the lower right corner is in Farsi.

I love reading Flash's college football posts lol

I don't care who wins, just want a good game to watch while sittin on my ass.

I agree, his older stuff is a bit boring nowadays.. I guess its just the style of punchline rap has gotten too repetitive. WIth the amount of music he's put out over the years.. I think it's taken its toll on everyone including me.

'Greetings from St. Kitts & Nevis' Kinda rusty. First drawing since 'Bahian Angel' (2008): http://i.imgur.com/7arXU.jpg Started this more than a month ago (before the London Olympics). Not having much time these days. Been staying up till like 5 AM almost every day to finish this by August 23rd (Kobe's birthday). Have slept a combined 10 hours or so over the last couple of weeks.

This one > rest, IMO: http://i.imgur.com/KBd62.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Vh13e.jpg Back in the beginning of the '07-'08 season, I printed and laminated all and then shipped it to LA. Photographer Henry (Chen) promised to bring them to a Clippers game @ STAPLES.....

Thanks! There's more where that came from: http://i.imgur.com/dXsNS.jpg

We have dropped all affiliations over time, for many reasons I really won't bother getting into (has to do with our hack a few years ago, and about 200 total spam PM's over the last year). However, I have planned on adding new affiliates for a while. As of now, though, I don't have a page set up for affiliates, nor do I have requirements (ex. how long a board has been up and running). The requirements are specifically placed to assure us that we aren't touching base with a site that has broken away from another affiliate of ours, one that encourages spamming, has a history of ripping ideas/images/names, etc. It brings me to my sole question, though: what relationship do you guys have with HN? I noticed a handful of members came from there. I removed it from both the FB and Twitter accounts within two minutes, lol.
