And my point is that you do not know what Nas is ding on the Business Side so your review should not be based on mere a**umption.
2 sides to every story Rob.
Nas hasn't even addressed the issue of the exclusivity of the verse.
If it was such a big deal/ paid so much money for it HHP could/ would sue since it would be within his legal right.

No sir. A review that was not. A rant, yes.
A review that only mentions 4 of the songs on a 13 track album?

I haven't disagreed with a review more since The Source gave Doggystyle just 4mics.

The whole thing is based on a**umptions made about a business transaction between 2 artists. Who is to say Jabba did not know he was getting an old verse?
When we were talking of the HIPHOCALYPSE mixtape vol.2 Akir was going to give us a verse we already knew was used elsewhere and there was full disclosure.
Unless you have seen the contract relating to the Nas verse used you cannot make a**umptions and base HALF the review on that a**umption. More review than rant really.

I enjoy My generation too for what it is. Fine it has 2 pop artists on it but thats the whole point. These are the voices of this generation. Weazy even had a bareable verse and Nas came correct over triumphant production.

Lausse.

Shame about HHP story. Beware gimmickry though...
Industry rule #4080.

On a more positive note: Nas & Jr Gong - "Friends" = official! Who is the vocalist in those first few seconds? Anyone know?

I wonder what the script for the Thor movie is going to be like. I doubt they will be able to sell the idea of him being a you know...Norse GOD to the christian west PG13ers.

I guess they could run it with the story from the Ultimates where you're not really sure if he is immortal or just a psychopath with delusions of grandeur.

That hammer made a big hole in New Mexico though...

How do you feel about Tom Hiddleston as Loki?:

(was I the only one thinking it would be Bruce Banner at the bottom of that crater?)

I agree with a lot of your points. The lack of focus is evident. I think Favreau (sp) was trying to please as many people as he could.

Rumour has it they had the Dark Knight and Avatar in their sights i.t.o. filmmaking achievements and box office. HA! This is nothing revolutionary. Just a good popcorn flick thats about it.

Pros: R8 Droptop, Scarlett Jo, Avengers initiative!!!!
Cons: Cheese all over the script, Limited character development, Multiple Subplots none of which really engaged me...

6/10.

Man, Nas airing out dirty laundry on "Strong Will Continue":

"How am I supposed to stay comfy when I pay child support, alamony monthly... Only like a woman who's a rider, but only hoes want me..."

I have no horse in the playoffs now that the Nuggets went out & Sixers didn't even make the playoffs.

I guess I can root for "Anyone but L.A./ Boston/ Cleveland) which means Phx & Orlando. Kinda liking Orlando more.
Go Magic?
