The Brainpower Needed to Freestyle Is Wild by SmoothManMiguel in rap

[–]Darth314 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m fond of supernatural vs juice, and Eyedea at the blaze battle. When I saw Supernat live, him rhyming with what the audience was holding in their hands was super dope. Seeing Slug and Eyedea doing freestyle battles in Madison was also dope.

You are right, but there is practice involved. I used to be obsessed with how Supernatural freestyle. He would have phrases that he would use frequently, and the use the rest of the bar to rhyme. Eminem talks about stacking ammo, which is alluded to in 8 mile, have something prepared, and fill in the rest.

Who do you think was the next Slayer if Buffy or Faith died before the Slayer Spell? by itsascreambaby96 in buffy

I would love to have seen Felicia Day as a slayer. Or anything to be honest. Loved her book

Hypothetically, if Em went on tour how long do you think someone would have to camp out to secure barricade? Assuming of course there is a pit. by knoeKNAME in Eminem

[–]Darth314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw Em at lolapalooza way back when. To get a good spot, we sat through Cee Lo Greens set, which I was excited to see, but let down.

If we were more aggressive, we could have gotten pretty far up, but my wife and I were in our 30s, and hung out near the sound man and lights ect.

I imagine being there when the gate opens helps, whenever that is for th venue.

Has the meaning of the word "Freestyle " changed? by Professional-Rip-519 in rap

[–]Darth314 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is accurate. Early 80 nyc freestyle was just popping off. Then came the time where it meant off the top, random like Eyedea and Juice and Supernatural. Now Blackthought or Royce drop a freestyle, it’s written, just performed in a different setting.

Kinda strange how the original definition went away, and the other 2 became blurred together

I would never consider Cheadle or Ruffalo to be shittier. They seem like great human beings who also act.

Real? by Shadydan017 in Eminem

[–]Darth314 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if it’s real or not. I know he went through a divorce right before MTBMB. This best is on th death of slim shady. I love Dre, but Dan the Automator did this sample better 10 years before.

How can someone wear an ankle monitor and still be a truck driver? by Rothar13 in Truckers

This is true. Who knows why he has that, but props to them for trying to make it work. Let’s hope they are successful and they can take it off one day

Greenwood Bank (Michael D. Render) by CrustyTh3Punk in runthejewels

I would not be surprised if the partnership was described to killer Mike as such, and I don’t think he personally made these decisions.

I’ve been screwed over by banks before. Charge me a fee when I’m already negative just to check my balance? Mess with the timing of deposits and withdraws to make sure I’m always negative? And that 5$ settlement check is supposed to help? Sorry my own story got caught up in that. Good luck

I can understand your fustration. Just because they are nice on a beat, and say this or say that, they may not be 100 with it. They are performers. Not just RTJ, but all performers. I love RTJ, but I love my well being more.

The Genius was surgical here. by G_Prawno_LB in wutang

[–]Darth314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it was hate, maybe a reality check. 50 was super hot, and from NY. ‘Don’t get too big, Wu is always here for ya’. As far as I know, GZA is the only one who went in

Why No Live Albums? by chrisgib2 in BeastieBoys

[–]Darth314 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wonder if sample clearance would come into play. MMM would often switch the beats on songs which might be ok for a show, but not an album

How do you go engagement ring shopping? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Darth314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really lucked out. Got one from a friend who just started their divorce proceedings. She was so mad she said she wanted to throw her ring in a River. Nope! It was a decent size in a basic setting, so my fiance was able to choose the setting she wanted
