They've finally added the 90s x-men cartoon to netflix instant. I knew it was just a matter of time. I have a feeling I'm going to have a good nostalgic(?) Day.

Oh, you kids and your "nostalgia."

:p

Shut up whilst I ride my skateboard over your lawn.

Hey McFly...

Those boards don't work over lawn!

@Karate Kid - What the...?
Reminds me of this:


OHMSS definitely lacks some of the things Bond is famous for, but it is one of the better stories really. Lazenby is no Connery but I don't mind his portrayal. It is very close between him and Moore for me - it's hard to tell with only one movie. I'm sure I am in the minority with Craig at number one; no need to justify Connery as a choice.

Craig's efforts are light on the gadgets but keep enough of the sensational action sequences to still feel like Bond movies to me. I think he is truest to Connery's original portrayal but seems even tougher and more capable. I don't necessarily like the complete lack of gadgets, but I'd rather that than invisible BMWs.

For an off-topic forum, there sure it a lot of call to stay on-topic. <_<

OK then, prepare for sacrilege!

1. Craig - Steve McQueen's British love child.
2. Connery - The original and the (second) best.
3. Brosnan - They should have nabbed him before Remington Steele.
4. Lazenby - Wasn't fired.
5. Moore - Better as The Saint.
6. Dalton - Good actor but not Bond...

KRS-One, Ghetto Boyz, Busta Rhymes, and House of Pain are pretty great. Gotta get some Kurtis Blow and Afrika Bambaataa and the Zulu Nation in there, too, though. Snoop and Dre and Ice Cube as well. Bel Biv Devoe? <_<

Generally for "newer" stuff I go for guys like Ludacris, Wildchild, Madlib/Quasimoto, Heiroglyphics, Deltron 3030/Del the Funky Homosapien, Jurassic 5, Dr. Octagynecologist/Kool Keith, Lootpack, Wu-Tang Clan... I also admit to a soft spot for Kanye West and DMX.

I'm sure there's more than that, but that's all that are coming to me. I love the underground stuff, it's just way better than the popular rap/hip-hop they put on the radio.

Hmm... Hit and miss. Definitely J5, Del/Deltron, Hiero, KRS, Keith.

Also check these out if you haven't already: A Tribe Called Quest, Mos Def, Abdominal/Format, Blackalicious, Lyrics Born, Quannum, Mighty Underdogs, Chali 2na, Panacea, Binary Star, DJ Shadow :)

RE Will Smith - he was quite a talented lyricist but his skills were average compared to those of DJ Jazzy Jeff. Unfortunately their most well known songs were just a platform for Smith's ridiculous story raps. I also don't rate anything made after their first 3 albums; they started relying on repetitive hooks and lame r&b sounding shite.*

Listen to The Magnificent Jazzy Jeff for a showcase of Jazzy's skill, including his "Transformer scratch" from their 1989 debut album made while the pair were still in high school. The songs with "Jeff" in the title are the best ;)

 

* I tell a lie, Who Stole the DJ? is pretty good.
