  1. Growing up in Yonkers, DMX was THAT DUDE. Everybody had a story involving him, even tangentially. I was in the barbershop when some dude rushed in and said X was filming a video(Where the Hood At?) around the corner. Everybody was siked to go. I was too, until I remembered I was white and would be unwelcome in the School Street projects.

    I'll always love DMX and the Ruff Ryders movement in general.

  2. American Football: 1 hour clock, 3-4 hour game duration, 11 minutes of activity.

    Football: 90 minute clock, 105-115 minute game duration, 90-100 minutes of activity.

    American football: referee blows the play dead every few seconds, followed by a lot of waiting around and discussing where the running back's knee touched down.

    Football: referee whistles occasionally, fouled team quickly kicks ball into play, game continues quickly.

    American football: 34 headings in nfl.com's "digest" of its rulebook

    Football: 17 laws

    American football: helmet, mouthguard, shoulder pads, hip pads, thigh pads, knee pads, cup, etc.

    Football: shinguards, optional cup.

    Premature American football deaths: brain injuries

    Premature football deaths: booze

    American football: tournament winner calls themselves "World Champions"

    Football: you have to actually play teams from other nations to call yourself that.

    Unless you were arguing in favor of baseball (takes forever, even fussier) or basketball (shooters always look for a foul, constant whining, team given most fouls typically wins.)

    LOL. One post and he's got the dark green tip.

    Lotta' frustrated nerds who got shoved in lockers by jocks were really feeling that comment.

    Soccer's cool with me though.

  4. "cockroach symbolizes mainstream media, he tries to take it in and throws up

    he's blind because he doesn't realize hes becoming mainstream

    kills himself because he realized he became mainstream

    ...

    OFWGKTA"

    pretty sick analysis of the yonkers music video.

    Did he ever explain why he chose the name 'Yonkers' for the song?

    Edit: Nevermind, he said he 'really, really, really, loves New York'.

  5. Watching season 3 right now. The whole scene where Cutty mans up and tells Avon he's done gets me every time, especially how Avon still respects him after he walks out.

    Great scene when Cutty comes to Avon, proverbial hat in hand, for ten grand. And Avon just looks at Slim like, "Shit, break my man off with 15 stacks." like it's no problem.
