I can score alot in Madden if I play rookie mode. I just wanna try out an AFL even though Kurt Warner's probably sucked. I'm just a big sport videogame fan.

Rapper Ras Kass has been released from Corcoran State Prison in California, after serving almost 2 yearsfor a third DUI conviction.

The rapper was released on December 21, 2004.

In January of 2003, Ras Kass was supposed to surrender to California authorities to serve a mandatory 9 months for the conviction.

Instead of surrendering, the rapper went on the run to protest what he labeled a “slave” deal with Priority Records.

His flight sparked conversation in Hip-Hop circles of his whereabouts. In May of 2003, he finally surrendered to authorities, after spending 5 months on the run.

Ras Kass’ highly anticipated CD Goldyn Chyld was never released by Priority, as was the case with his anticipated album Van Gogh, which was shelved due to rampant internet bootlegging.

In May, lawyers representing Ras Kass filed a civil complaint in the Los Angeles County Superior Court against Priority Records.

The rapper’s lawsuit alleged that Priority breached their agreement, by distributing two of the four albums Ras Kass recorded over a period of 9 years.

“I want what is fair; all I want is to create great music, have the proper team behind me, and be the artist that I am,” Ras Kass said in a previous statement. “I am prepared to do what it takes in order to be released from this ugly situation.”

Litigation in the case continues.

Wel I'm a big fan of Ras Kass, so I'm very happy about this. I hope he gets off of Priority records soon and makes one hell of an album. He definately is one of the best in the west.

I'd actualy like to try out a game based on the AFL. It could be fun with all the scoring that goes down in that league.

I just wanna know, what do you guys think is Canibus' best album? i have The Brainstream and i also have Lost Lyrics Mixtape.

Rip the Jacker, but MicClub is good too.

I actually like Game, but Yukmouth did beat him and is also a better raper. I'm undecided bout the Budden beef though. I also rather see Crooked I blow before Game though, he's the best that the wet coast has to offer now.

I really like Tech-N9ne, he's one of my favorite rappers. I can't wait fr his new cd. I love Anghellic, but Absolute Power could have been a little better.

Canibus - Beasts from the East

Canibus brings the sickest drama,

fierce enough to pierce the thickest armor

I smack bitches who try to suck dick through a condom

Playing with the mic is something I wont do

my only concern when I approach you, is to roast you

I smoke you and whoever you standing close to

and make every man in your crew deny that he knows you

defeating, niggas like Segal Steven,

putting Emcees in, positions to prevent 'em from breathing

I'll make you question any and everything you've ever believed in

by peeping your deepest secrets like psychic readers,

What's the matter with ya'll, I splatter ya'll

against the mutha fuckin wall with these raw lyrics I catapult

None of ya'll got the balls big enough to battle,

I go On & On like Erika Badu

a hundred times nicer than the best there is

twice as African as KRS is, who wanna test this

Fuck yall you dont impress me and no one can test me

An Emcee so ill, I got AIDS scared to catch me

All that shit you poppin will stop, when I put you in a headlock,

and apply pressure until I crush your mutha fuckin noggin

I grab mics and push niggas to the left

so fast their hearts end up on the right side of their chests

My hypothesis, is that nobody can see this

lyrical genius, I got it sown like a seamstress

But if you want to battle, I'm down,

If you got nine lives, I'll take eight of them off your hands right now

Step up and get your neck cut from ear to ear

If you survive, then you can cover your scar with a beard

I'm the illest from Queens to the new Jerusalem briddicks

anyone who aint feeling my shidick can suck my didick

You need to quit it, if you aint spitten

more than 50 bars per minute cause you aint in lyrical fitness

kickin' boring raps with metaphors that's wack

all of ya'll mutha fuckas need NordicTrack

to get ya weight up, fuckin with Canibus you get ate up

get beat down and sprayed up, just for bringing my name up

been rockin longer than niggas twice my age

back in the days before Bob Marley was rockin a fade

before Honest Abe signed the paper that freed slaves

before Neanderthals was drawing on walls in caves

I existed, in the garden of Eden gettin lifted

stickin dick to Eve before she was Adams mistress

Before Christ created Christmas, I been in lyrical fitness

The Canibus is spitten till' he's spitless

50 bars of total sickness, you wont forget this

I'm puttin' every wack Emcee alive on my shit list

verbally vicious, tele-connectically gifted

took you a minute, to exhibit that I'm sick wit it

Now you tell me who you think is damaging shit

going once, going twice

Sold to that nigga name Canibus

Me and Mr.Cheeks, A-Plus, and Funk Doctor

hopping out the Hue helicopter to suey chop ya

Nas - Verse 1 - Nazareth Savage

I had bad chicks that blow cum bubbles like bubblegum

Plus they ass lick, summer house be sippin' rum

Layin' lazy in the recliner, couple days

In my ashtray, smoke signals from the haze

I stick my finger through it, the ring of smoke broke

That symbolize weak guys, pop the strong link off

The infrastructure caves in, amazin'

I ain't have to read The Art of War to slay men

Serve niggaz, bird niggaz speakin' reckless

When their momma love the kid's records I made

You gutless, you don't know struggle

Throw a couple slugs at you, hell grabs you

Nail stabs a hand of the Nasirine

I carried the cross to help you afford that plasma screen

Gave you chumps a path to walk, hold my hand

I'ma guide you like the OG, but don't talk, don't get it confused

'Cause none'a y'all can fit in my shoes

Y'all made of chemicals, artificial actions

God'll forgive you bastards

Only if you repent to the Nazareth Savage

Immortal Technique - Verse 1 - Obnoxious

I'm obnoxious, motherfucker can't you tell

run through Little Havannah yelling: 'Viva Fidel'

jerking off at the sheets when I stay at hotels

drinking bacardi at AA meetings, smoking a L

I'm broke as hell my attitude is no good

like working for white people after watching rosewood

swallow mecenary, I don't care how I get richer

like American companies that did business with Hitler

get the picture nigga, I'm the best of both worlds

without the hidden camera, and the 12 year old girl

at stage at your basics, you aren't half the man that I am

I throw your gang sign up, and then I'll spit on my hand

give me a hundred grand, give me your watch, give me your chain

that's your girl, bitch get over here, give me some brain

I'll bust of on her face, and right after the segment

she'll propably rub it in her pussy, trying to get herself pregnant

I said it I meant it, that's the way I deal with enemies

like pro lifers, that support the death penalty

and don't talk about war, when niggaz know that your pus

a fucking hipocrit draft charger like George Bush

don't push me nigga, cuz I'm close to the edge

and I'll jump of with a rope that's wrapped around your head

send a death feedaz to my ex on valentines day

the safety's off nigga, so get the fuck out my way

December 20, 2004 - Rumors, rumors everywhere, and everyone is talking about one thing, EA's attempt to take over the world...or at least the world of video games.

Last week, Electronic Arts, the NFL, and Players Inc. sent shockwaves throughout the gaming industry as they announced an unprecedented five-year exclusivity partnership. But it looks like Electronic Arts had even bigger plans as they also had talks about an exclusive arrangement with the NBA. Sources have told me, however, that the NBA has rejected EA's initial offer.

One of the reasons is that the NBA Live series simply doesn't have a stranglehold on the market the way Madden has for years, so by signing an exclusive deal with EA, the NBA would actually be losing money. There are simply too many NBA video game properties that sell big units for the deal to make sense, from the ESPN NBA series to NBA Ballers to 989's games that are set to hit both the PS2 and PSP.

Sources aren't quite as clear in terms of potential dealings with Major League Baseball as a few publishers were worried a deal was already in place for EA to step in and take over like they did with the NFL. But after the EA/NFL deal went down, at least one publisher was able to re-up their MLB contract for three more games, so it looks like a false alarm as the only exclusive EA was able to lockup for the time being was the NFL.

In other EA news, they were able to purchase 20% of Ubisoft on Monday. What does that have to do with sports games, you might ask. Well, Ubisoft is developing the And1 street hoops game to compete with NBA Street V3. Whether or not this puts an end to the game's development, we'll have to wait and see.

I thought 2004 was okay. ANother good year for underground rap fans IMO. K-os, MF Doom, and Masta Ace really had great albums. In the mainstream it wasn't as good, but Nas, Xzibit, Kanye, Ghostface, Mos Def, and Kweli came through. Encore was really bad and I hope Em does beter next time around. I hope for better next year.

Reggie has always been one of my most favorite players. This really sucks. RIP Reggie.

Weird, I just got finished listening to this cd. It's one of my favorite cds this past year. I rank it behind Illmatic and Stillmatic though.

Pharoahe's one of my favorites. But that one song isn't Orange Alert, it's Agent Orange, which is a very good song. Just get the songs Jimmy put down along with checking out Internall Afairs and his O.C. albums.

MOP - Ante Up

Well I'll answer this from a hip-hop fan's perspective. A rapper must write his own rhymes because lyrics are a very important part of the music. You should be writing what you really feel and think. It's not like the ghostwriter can read your thoughts. Rappers that write ther own shit try their hardest to make sure peopl like their lyrics. They work their ass off to come their best, get their message across, or their own story. While someone like Dr. Dre or Puffy just sit back and pay someone to do it. If someone is spitting some great metaphores and punchlines you might think he is real nice, but then if i find out he had a ghostwriter I'd lose respect for that rapper and would wonder why the ghostwriter ain't got no deal. Puffy didn't write "I'll be Missing You" which I find very sad. If your talkin bout your best friend who just died how can you not write it yourself, those aren't his words, they're Sauce Money's. Now in rap, flow and delivery are also important and that is why some people might not care. Like Dr. Dre is very good at rapping, but he doesn't write his own shit which puts him lower on my list of rapping greats. One part of rapping is having the talent to write and not having that talent means to me that your lesser of an mc.

Some of these probably have been mentioned already, but whatever

BTW, don't get Loyal to the Game, shit has been butchered.

Nas - Street's Disciple

I'm one of the biggest lego fans ever. I used to have hundered of models and shit. I got rid of most my old legos though, but I still got some nice ones.

That fight was fuckin crazy. I don't blame Artest for defending himself though. He was trying to stay out of all of it when some idiot from the crowd threw a beer at him, I'd be pist too. I'm just wondering why Jackson got into the fight, plus Jackson and Artest did beat up the wrong fan so some shit could happen there. Also Jermaine O'Neal decked some guy good while Fred Jones I think got attacked by some fatass. The brawl has to be the craziest in sports ever. And people say us Philly fans are the worse.

Yeah this shit is true. This sucks I'm a huge Wu-Tang fan. But with all the drugs he did it can't be much of surprise he died early in his life. Still though I can't believe he is dead still. I always enjoyed listening to his music, I really like his album Return to the 36 Chambers. RIP ODB.

OMG! G-Unit is replacing Treach on Loyal to the Game and they're leaving Kadafi off As Soon as I get Home. They shouldn't be fucking around with the original songs. BTW, Immortal Technique kicks ass.

K-Os: Joyful Rebellion

I think this album will suck and Pac is one of my favorites. I think Nate Dogg is the only one who should be on the album since Pac and Him were friends, but I'm pist cause Nate is replacing Tech-N9ne on the song "Thugs Get Lone Too". I guess we're just gonna have to wait and see.

I am not a big fan of 213's album. They should of released the album when they were all in their primes back in the Deathrow Days. And I just don't like Nelly.

Yeah this shit never happened, and I'm glad with Chino being a favorite of mine. Ayway, Chino seems to get shot or die every six months.
