dude Outkast-loving non-hip hop heads have always very half-assedly pretended to give a shit about Big Boi

― Al (sitcom), Sunday, 20 November 2005 03:43 (twenty years ago)

(see any review w/ ten paragraphs about Andre 3k and a couple vague superlatives about BB being "the fastest mouth in the south" or some shit)

― Al (sitcom), Sunday, 20 November 2005 03:45 (twenty years ago)

true

Many fans knew Dre (who sings in his nasal whine more than he raps) as the soulful, sensitive and more tuneful member of the duo, but Big Boi comes on strong, showing a lot more range and depth than he has in the past. (In wanting to step outside of his Flavor-Flav role, he may well have been the one pushing for the double -disc format.)

Flavor-Flav role

― deej.. (deej..), Sunday, 20 November 2005 03:47 (twenty years ago)

Still I assumed ILM prided itself on being hipper than that.

― deej.. (deej..), Sunday, 20 November 2005 03:47 (twenty years ago)

so it's good, though? I can't even remember who's on the label/comp besides Bubba.

― Al (sitcom), Sunday, 20 November 2005 03:49 (twenty years ago)

oh right Killer Mike and Sleepy Brown duh

― Al (sitcom), Sunday, 20 November 2005 03:59 (twenty years ago)

"Lovin This" by Konkrete is pretty exceptional.

― deej.. (deej..), Sunday, 20 November 2005 04:02 (twenty years ago)

I sorta slept through vol. 1. I think I listened to it maybe twice. Which may have been wrong! But I like vol 2 a lot. A whole lot.

― deej.. (deej..), Sunday, 20 November 2005 04:03 (twenty years ago)

what is the deal w/ that, vol. 1 was just a mixtape but vol. 2 is an official retail release?

― Al (sitcom), Sunday, 20 November 2005 04:06 (twenty years ago)

Yeah apparently, or at least Amazon lists Vol. 2 as dropping Tuesday. Vol. 1 was with DJ Drama & Aphiliates, and a few of the songs are repeated for Vol. 2 (like "808")

― deej.. (deej..), Sunday, 20 November 2005 04:23 (twenty years ago)

Vol 2 is many many times > than Vol 1.

And I so don't get tired of hearing "808" on both versions since it is teh bonk3rz!

I only listened to it once, but there's some amazing diva-style R&B at the end by some newbies that totally rocks in Chaka Khan-styled rock awesomeness

― Whiney G. Weingarten (whineyg), Sunday, 20 November 2005 04:26 (twenty years ago)

Yeah whats weird to me is that it still has that wide-ranging rock crit touchpoint influence thing going on (although obv. less pronounced than say "Love Below," and much better for it) despite the absence of Andre.

― deej.. (deej..), Sunday, 20 November 2005 04:27 (twenty years ago)

I started downloading this when it leaked. Its decent.

Dungeon Family was the last good thing though, and that was years back.

― hydrallus (hydraulis2), Sunday, 20 November 2005 06:00 (twenty years ago)

Ugh. Copy protected? Fuck that, I'm off to soulseek. ATT'N VIRGIN: If you treat me like a thief, I am goddamn jolly well going to act like one.

On a less ANGRY GRR note, I really dug "Kryptonite." Is there anything else as good on the album?

― telephone thing, Sunday, 20 November 2005 06:10 (twenty years ago)

Yeah I think the whole thing is pretty great as sprawling mixtape style goes, check out "Lovin This" which I think is particularly excellent.

― deej.. (deej..), Sunday, 20 November 2005 06:16 (twenty years ago)

Also exciting, recently reunited goodie mob!?

― deej.. (deej..), Sunday, 20 November 2005 07:01 (twenty years ago)

No one around here gets mixtapes unless they're from Houston. Maybe an official release will be around. I'm waiting for the Purple Ribbon All-Stars album, I love that single (is it "Kryptonite" or "I'm On It"?).

― Erick Dampier is better than Shaq (miloaukerman), Sunday, 20 November 2005 07:04 (twenty years ago)

This is an official release, they're carrying it on Amazon. I think those are the same song.

― deej.. (deej..), Sunday, 20 November 2005 07:14 (twenty years ago)

Full title is "Kryptonite (I'm On It)."

― telephone thing, Sunday, 20 November 2005 07:15 (twenty years ago)

The pun in the title was totally lost on me until I heard them sing it.

― Whiney G. Weingarten (whineyg), Sunday, 20 November 2005 08:06 (twenty years ago)

I think it was just "Kryptonite" for a long time and then MTV said they wouldn't air it with that title so they changed it to "I'm On It" for them.

― Al (sitcom), Sunday, 20 November 2005 15:27 (twenty years ago)

i actually like the cheeseball rnb dude a lot, tho he's so saadiq jr. that raphael needs to go on maury

― deej.. (deej..), Sunday, 20 November 2005 17:40 (twenty years ago)

I'm pretty sure he only likes "Laffy Taffy"

― 'Twan (miccio), Sunday, 20 November 2005 22:57 (twenty years ago)

"My Chrome" is great and gives me hope for the new Killer Mike album.

― s>c>, Sunday, 20 November 2005 23:31 (twenty years ago)

anthony otm

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 20 November 2005 23:37 (twenty years ago)

this could be the first year in forever and a day when exactly no rap makes it into my top 10, if a. "welcome to jamrock" doesnt count and since i'm not chuck eddy of course it doesnt and b. i dont include "still tippin" on account of it being nearly two years old despite breaking this year.

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 20 November 2005 23:39 (twenty years ago)

he didn't say racist, he said you were old. cuz the kids are feeling slim thug. not as much as fall out boy, though.

― 'Twan (miccio), Monday, 21 November 2005 00:14 (twenty years ago)

Dude I like obscure house music too!

― deej.. (deej..), Monday, 21 November 2005 00:16 (twenty years ago)

Or do you hate that now? I can never keep track.

― deej.. (deej..), Monday, 21 November 2005 00:17 (twenty years ago)

Strongo do you have no love even for "Pimpin' All Over The World"? Or "I Gotta Stay Fly"?

Cos I've been totally clueless about rap this year but these are still in my top ten I think.

('tis all about obscure breaksy d&b, yeah?)

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 21 November 2005 00:18 (twenty years ago)

I did like your Aguayo review!

― deej.. (deej..), Monday, 21 November 2005 00:21 (twenty years ago)

i did forget "stay fly." mea culpa.

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Monday, 21 November 2005 00:50 (twenty years ago)

yeah i've liked but not loved a lot of rap this year, but i'm half ready to say fuck my rap dude rep and shut that shit out of my year end lists

― Al (sitcom), Monday, 21 November 2005 00:51 (twenty years ago)

anyway, i DO like this record. parts of it are quite good. ("808" woo, scar tracks woo, goodie mob reunion woo.) some of it is pretty awful. (the janelle monae tracks, wtf.) and some of it is kinda mediocre. ("kryptonite," the bubba track, "my chrome" did absolutely nothing for me all year.)

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Monday, 21 November 2005 00:54 (twenty years ago)

haha i think my fave track is the two minute dedication at the beginning

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Monday, 21 November 2005 00:57 (twenty years ago)

My fave 05 singles ("sugar" and "toma") are from 04 albums. Though I like plenty of sing-song pop-rap.

― 'Twan (miccio), Monday, 21 November 2005 01:12 (twenty years ago)

Anthony what do you think of the Pitbull tracks on the YYT and Twista albums? those are 2 of my favorite songs of the year and i wasn't that crazy about the dude before.

― Al (sitcom), Monday, 21 November 2005 01:14 (twenty years ago)

I haven't heard the Twista one but "Shake" doesn't do anything for me. I just got MI STILL AMI in the mail (along with Crunk Hits!) but haven't listened to it yet. I think all those guest appearances are on it, in some form.

― 'Twan (miccio), Monday, 21 November 2005 01:17 (twenty years ago)

check the Twista one, "Hit The Floor", man. it's got the squeaky sirens from "Play" but on a fast beat!

All About Your Period

One of the biggest changes for girls that comes along with puberty is menstruation. Menstruation is more commonly known as getting your period. In some cultures, the start of menstruation is celebrated publicly in a time of great rejoicing; other cultures choose to be more private about it. Some girls can't wait for their first period to come, while others may dread it or feel neutral about it. No matter how you feel, it's an important event in your life and part of the normal process of becoming a woman.
When will I get my first period?

There really isn't any way you can tell which day or week you'll get your first period. It usually starts a year after the female growth spurt begins. For most girls in America this is between ages 9 and 15. There also isn't really any way you can make your first period come sooner or keep it from happening.
What causes a period and what happens?

Each month or so, the inside of your uterus gets thicker with blood and tissues to prepare for a fertilized egg. These blood and tissues contain nutrients in case the egg becomes fertilized. When an egg becomes fertilized, a woman becomes pregnant. If the egg is not fertilized, the blood and tissues are shed. This is the period.
How often will my period come?

How often you get your period can differ from one female to another. Your period, or monthly cycle, occurs approximately once a month. However, some women get their period every 21 days, while others menstruate every 35 days. The average length of a period is 3 to 7 days. In the beginning, your period may come irregularly and may last for just a couple days or for 2 weeks. It is important to keep track of when your period begins and whether your blood flow tends to be heavy or light. In most cases, the flow is heavier in the beginning and gets lighter each following day. Since each person's body is different, it is essential to know what is normal for your body.
What else can I expect?

You'll need to use feminine products like pads or tampons to absorb the blood. Pads are worn outside the body in your underwear, and tampons are worn inside the body. Talk to your mom, older sister, or a trusted adult about which is best for you. You may also notice that the color of the blood flow changes during your period—sometimes it's a dark red, and sometimes it's a bright red. This usually depends on how heavy the flow is and where in your cycle you are. If you notice a change in your period, talk to your parent or a doctor.
What is PMS?

PMS stands for premenstrual syndrome. Some women experience PMS around the time of their period. PMS symptoms may include headaches; moodiness; bloating; breast tenderness; and feeling sad, irritable, emotional, or tired. There are a few medicines that may ease PMS symptoms, but make sure you talk with your parent, school nurse, or your doctor before taking anything. You can make some changes to your diet that may help ease your PMS symptoms. Cutting back on salty foods, chocolates, and drinks with caffeine may lessen PMS symptoms. Many women experience cramps before or during their periods. The severity of cramps also differs from one woman to another. If you are feeling a great deal of discomfort with PMS or cramps, think about talking to your mom, your doctor, or a school nurse about what you are experiencing.
How long will this go on?

You'll probably keep getting your period until you're anywhere from 45 to 55, when it will stop. This is called menopause. In the 30 to 40 years you will be getting your period, it's important to pay attention to your body and know what's normal for you so that you can be aware if anything unusual happens.
