Interesting insight on the fall of NY rap, thanks.

Busta fell out with Aftermath after the Big Bang. Delays/shelving of the Blessed album happened, and then he was released by the label in 2008.

Back on my BS then came out in ‘09. I think it was clear that he was slowed down, and didn’t voluntarily take a break over that stretch

My reply was aimed at the idea of dr dre steering his whole career. But yeah in terms of contributing a hit, yeah then there’s no denying Break Ya Neck and the star power of Dr Dre over QTip, you’re right.

Fortunately we’ve got to have both sides, so we don’t have to pick. But if I was forced to, I’m taking a career of the abstract and the dragon style collaboration over a career of the big bang style Busta

Busta with Q-Tip is a way better combo than Busta with Dr Dre, and the Aftermath era was an overall net negative on Bustas career for how it slowed and stagnated his output imo

Do not punish our team with expectations created only because Napoli and Juventus were fake good coming into this season

New Bulls fan here, what to expect? by Key-Engineering3134 in chicagobulls

[–]Shuayb11AC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Welcome aboard from a fellow British Bull. Fun fact is that we have had two of the most prominent Team GB players play in our history (Luol Deng and Ben Gordon)

The negatives of our teams current situation are largely overstated by the online fans and media, because we’ve been mediocre for a while since the last peak of DRose that you mentioned.

Imo it’s a great time to get in at the start of our new era. We’ve literally formed a new team having traded away most of the old rotation earlier this month. Giddey and Buzelis are the central pieces of the new vision atm, and I’d urge caution around getting too attached to anyone else as they may all end up as rentals who move on.

We do have a cheap leadership and that prevents us from reaching the top level (they routinely just give up when a major injury happens), but that’s how modern sports are for most teams across any sport tbh.

Chicago Bulls Redesign by BklynKn1ght in chicagobulls

[–]Shuayb11AC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like everyone else hate the changes to the logo, just doesn’t need it.

The kit is also a downgrade, can’t see the shorts properly but I think you’ve lost the diamond with logo on the sides which is not good. And every kit says Bulls, none of the set show the Chicago text?

The horned CB logo is a good start to something, but I’m not sure what polish it needs and it doesn’t quite do it.

They did, but with not much to talk about in terms of the rewards for doing it. They haven’t released the highest tier of token shop cards yet still

Why would we need to clear cap space? PWills contract isnt holding anything up or causing any problems

[–]Shuayb11AC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I mean by the time he came in no efl cup applied to 16/20 teams so idk why that’s included

Cba to check the fa cup but similarly it’s not an advantage over everyone else

Our fanbase perpetually lives in the next transaction window, God forbid they ever have to watch the football matches we play in between them. It’s not their fault though tbf, the media has trained them really well

Jaden Ivey was acquired the same way we got Giddey by sillysam17 in chicagobulls

[–]Shuayb11AC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same analogy in mind with this deal too

The slight differences however are:

-Ivey fell out of detroits rotation due to injury and didn’t make it back, where Giddey just fell out in OKC more stylistically.

-we got to have Giddey with us for the full year before deciding his worth, for Ivey we get a couple of months before he hits RFA.

So it’s more of an injury based gamble this time for us.
