Keith Sweat isn't hip hop........he is R&B.

Re: Off Topic 2013

I'll throw this out here too.

I've got an epic 12 hour finals studying cram session coming today. I need music.

Give me your favorite hip hop albums.

I know, as Adam pointed out on Twitter, that hip hop doesn't seem like the best study music, but I like to keep the tone of the room light when I study. I could put on quiet folk all day, and I have enough to do that, but I prefer this.

Who doesn't love Touch The Sky while reading about the Industrial Revolution?

A Tribe Called Quest would work for background music while studying.

Of course Jay-Z's Dynasty Intro and Where I'm From on repeat is the obvious answer.

All of them are Asian too, by the look of things.

Obviously they are the real people on this site, not the 5 guys who aren't turning 23 or 43.

I mean, TheMatrix31; what kind of name is that? Spam isn't fooling anybody. Somehow this is Mo's fault for not doing his job as a mod.

Re: Off Topic 2013

In truth, Dayman, I'm more partial to trip hop than rap, and it's great to study to.

--Morcheeba --first three albums (Who Can You Trust? / Big Calm / Charango)

--The Sneaker Pimps (Becoming X / Bloodsport)

--Portishead (Dummy)

--Puracane (Things You Should Leave Alone)

Here's a good sample of Puracane from the above mentioned album:

Welp,


Hardee's new fresh baked hamburger buns are game changers. I wish I could eat fast food more, but Hardee's is hands down my favorite now.

Guess I'll take a trip to Carl's Jr sometime soon then.

Re: Off Topic 2013

I am far from a hip hop fan, but some guys around here listen to a few groups that I can remember. I think they are older groups though. The Dayton Family, Three Six Mafia, MGJ and Eightball ( I think ) , Bone Thugs, Keith Sweat and some guy named Tevin Campbell are the ones I can think off at the moment.

They are on constant repeat and aren't too bad. May be up your alley.

Re: Off Topic 2013

Man, sure are a lot of 23 year-olds on OS as of today...

Yeah, something definitely fishy. That bar at the bottom of the main forum page doesn't necessarily list all of the birthdays for the day. Go to "Calendar" under "quck link" and you'll see that there are a whopping 677 birthdays today

March 12th, 1990 must have been a wild day in south east Asia.

A new study undertaken by researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago and the University of Texas at Austin finds that teens rated as good-looking in high school got higher grades and were ultimately more likely to graduate college and get bigger paychecks as adults.

Well into adulthood, “people’s personal appearance has powerful effects on their life chances,” sociologists Rachel A. Gordon and Robert Crosnoe wrote in a briefing paper prepared for the Council on Contemporary Families. “Our research shows that the critical period in which inequality on the basis of looks establishes itself is in high school.”

It seems unfair that the good-looking kids also do better in other areas of life.

But there's also good news for the unattractive kids; they do less destructive fun stuff:

Does all this mean that the least attractive teens were flunking? Nope: Researchers found that they were less likely to be sexually active or drink heavily, which “neutralized” the negative effects on their grades of having poorer mental health and fewer friends, Gordon and Crosnoe wrote.

So the good-looking kids have the advantage of getting better grades. But the unattractive ones have the advantage of not having as much sex or partying. Something for everyone.

I heard some people talking about this earlier, I thought thought they were joking. But nope, it is an actual article.
