Good lord
I guess the term "star’ doesn’t mean anything anymore :/
Don't gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver or gold.
Case in point: Snooki is a "star"
And it really tells me where society is going next year when I hear that she’s being in the ball that drops for the new year or something or other. I don’t wish death upon anyone but I think someone did in this case.

They’re not the only ones you annoy.
As for Duffee: dude, a tired and beaten up Russow put your lights out with one punch late in the third round. You’re fighting the Reem next on short notice. If people doubt you, it’s because they’re not stupid.
We're all going to look stupid.
Especially if Duffee knocks The Reem out cold.
Weirder things have happened.
Ironically, I think Duffee is the best (MMA) opposition Overeem’s had in a while, besides Rogers.

“I send all that positivity out there, hoping it would come back to me. And it does. The fans will write and say ‘That quote made me feel better.’ And it works. It came back, like The Secret,” Baroni said. “Dana White called me today, texted me to say they were putting my fight on ION TV. Then he called me. ‘People are asking for you. The fans still care about you.’ Now I just need to prove to the world that I can still fight. I can and I want to do it in the UFC.”

We having this argument?
I stand by my theory that Drake is Wayne AND ESPECIALLY Nicki’s ghostwriter. I refuse to beleive that Wayne freestyles.
They made a video game about Yakuzas. It’s called Yakuza. And it’s about Yakuza
It's the other way around.
Wayne ghosts for Nikki- you can hear it clearly on Da Drought 3. Drake has 100% jacked a few Wayne lines from random freestyles and used them as hooks or in his song.
And you’re right that Wayne doesn’t “freestyle” how one would typically think. He listens to a beat over and over, and records pieces at a time. He never writes anything down, so technically its a freestyle- he’s said that this is to avoid someone publishing his lyrics post-mortem (like Kurt Cobain).
Drake is talented but he copies a lot of his style and flow from Lil’ Wayne. Wayne is the truth.

i know you’re walking away, but for some proof that Drake takes obscure Lil’ Wayne lines and incorporates them into his own sht- either listen to or look at the lyrics for “That’s My N****” by Lil’ Wayne and compare the beginning lines to the hook in “best i ever had.” Wayne’s was from 2002, Drake’s from 2009.

Almost nobody goes off the dome, especially main stream rappers.
eh, i disagree. A lot of them use the same phrases, but Eminem has incredible freestyles. Big L repeated a lot of his stuff, but even so a lot of his freestyles were amazing. Hell, my roommate is fantastic and he thinks of new stuff off the top of his head every time. Its possible, it just takes a lot of practice with wordplay.

It can be done, but most of it isn't off the dome.
Even rappers like Cassidy and Canibus who were known for free styling had entire verses or at least a bunch or punchlines written out for battles.
Are you ruling out mid-90's rappers?
Common, Black Thought (saw the Roots for the first time last night, goddamn), Mos Def. I don’t know about NOW per se but they freestyled about stuff right in front of them.

Don’t be fooled. I am a HUGE Common fan but I went to his show with Q-tip a couple years ago and he “Freestyled” and then the exact same freestyle was posted on youtube from their tour in a diff. city.
If you don't like the effect, don't produce the cause.
360Gamertag:Flipadelph1a
Yeah. This happens all the time and people don't realize it.
Freestyle doesn’t mean making shit up off the top of your head.
It just means kicking lyrics over a beat with no chorus or bridge.
Freestyling used to be an art. True freestyle artists would literally go off the top of the head and have people just point to or hold up a random object and use it in their flow. Its meaning has changed completely.
If you don't like the effect, don't produce the cause.

Meaning never changed, been the same since the 80's
Off the dome has always been part of it, but that isn’t what freestyle means.

Half of it was decent. The other half was garbage.
His recent album was better IMO. Regardless he is consistently inconsistent and overall average at best. Not awful. People just hate because he is overrated.
it wasn't meant to be an album so much as a showcase for all his abilities
to write r& b, commercial rap, and harder rap all in the same album. It also netted him an unheard of signing bonus from Young Money, at the level of which had never been seen for someone who had never released an actual record.

I agree.
Can’t stand listening to him anymore. Him being from Toronto doesn’t help either. But his EP was the shit. Sadly, I think he over saturated the market when he started doing hooks and verses’ on everyone’s shit and it made people tired of him.
I have no respect for Drake
I’m mad that I take a lunch break and I miss all this. Anyway, I’m sayin though Drake trying to go hard is “HA! Laughable, man!” But seeing Ms. Wicks like this…she may takeover Logan right now.

Hope you get a shot @ making some posters for the UFC
I really despise their posters they remind me of cheap bar posters that advertise free drink nights and things like that.
Your approach reminds me more of album design covers, which is how it should be, since MMA is an art not a cheap beverage.

No doubt she’s a gorgeous girl with a banging body, but as the main octagon girl whose job is basically sell the show by looking fantastic, she’s really got to put a little more work on that ass!

See,its so hard to read text when you have babes on the screen
Saw that pic of Arianny (I might have stared for a more than a few seconds) and then posted. Now I go back and read the text, and she states she’s going to work on the ass. I’m a visual creature.
It’s sorta genetic tho, having a phat ass. U can tone it up and kinda shape the muscle, but I think its mainly has to do with where your body stores excess fat.
you're right
but if you’re fairly lean it’s more about the size and shape of the muscle. She needs to do weightlifting exercises that target the glutes but won’t bulk up her thighs.
I wonder if any women have tried localized ’roids. Using ’roids would be better than butt implant imo. Of course, arianny seems to like the instant plastic surgery method.
Anabolic steroids don't work that way
I wonder if any women have tried localized ’roids. Using ’roids would be better than butt implant imo.
They are always systemic (i.e. whole body), never localized – the vast majority of injectable anabolic steroids are already injected deep IM (intermuscular) into the glutes (butt), quads (thigh) or (rarely) delts (shoulder at upper arm).
Not to mention that anabolic steroids, while generally safe in men (with proper dosing), cause a world of undesirable side effects in women.

thanks for the info
I had read somewhere that bodybuilders would inject steroids directly into muscle groups they where trying to target.
I assumed they knew what they were doing… silly me
Well...
there is a school of thought in some corners of the bodybuilding community that direct injection (especially of equipoise, a horse steroid) into smaller muscle groups has some added benefit over conventional use, but I don’t see how physiologically it could help, and I have never seen even any anecdotal evidence to support it.
There is a product called syntherol that no one ever seems to admit they’re using that does work locally, but it is not even an anabolic steroid, but rather a “site enhancement oil” that is very, very tricky to use without creating deformed looking muscles (and very easy to cause damage to the muscle tissue with).
In my experience it is really used only in secret for the most part (and very much looked down on) among bodybuilders and I suspect that this is what is responsible for any “direct injection” benefits anyone is claiming…
