Ron Artest coming to Cleveland?

[Spursfan092120]

..Ron has no idea where he's going..he's just ing with people.

[Allanon]

We ain't gonna get any news, that bas .

[Spursfan092120]

lets not get carried away.....comparing that emotional to Pac goes to far regardless.

True...but Ron is horrible.

[Spursfan092120]

Record deal...$100,000 for 6 years...I think..couldn't quite understand what he was saying.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I know..it's horrible. I have a studio at my house and I had a small independent hip hop label. I record these guys because it makes me some money..but it sucks to see what hip hop has turned in to.

It's one thing to see some guy you never heard of suck.....but it get more pissed off every time Eminem comes out with a new song. How the do you go from the Marshall Mathers LP to doing a song with in Jessica Simpson. It's painful to see the joke that Eminem has become.

[Kobe™]

Ron was radio and Radio guy brought up going to L.A. as an option he jokingly said OK, then he retracted from going on with ball talk.

I hope Em changes around...I don't think that was really Jessica though..I think he was making fun of her. I will say "My Mom" wasn't horrible though, on the new album.

Either way the song sucked. He went from angry, genuine rap to sellout phony rap that 14 year old girls like to hear. "Mockingbird" was horrible. I get a headache listening to that song.

yeah..I know...I miss Slim Shady...I hope he brings that back...until then, I'll be listening to old tracks of Biggie and Pac.

Underground rap is the these days. Immortal Technique in particular.

I'm not an over-the-top Eminem fan, but it tends to happen either with success and/or complacency.

For example, Common used to be raw lyrically and less predictable....now he's a softer, wacker version of what he was 1995 and up because he's more marketable now and thus more successful.

I rhyme and vowed the same would never happen to me regardless of the cir stances, but their are many artists who peak and then fall off to either try and conform for one last shot at s om or simply to keep up with the trends....or those that experience success and lose the hunger.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

They conform because that's where the money's at. Plain and simple. They are selling out. I can't imagine Eminem would rather sing "Crack a Bottle" than "Under the Influence", it's easy to tell because of the emotion in his early CD's he doesn't have in his current music.

[R4R]

Either way, Eminem is still a musical genius when it comes to lyrics...but yeah, it's been couple years and I still listen to Em's old hits regularly.

And I hope ronron stays for the year in houston. Love his post-game interviews.

[NewJerSpur]

Yup and the industry is much more "hit-driven" than it was before people knew how to market rap. Now there's a lame formula like in almost every other genre which limits how much can actually get out there at the moment.

[Ditty]

with the whole kobe vs artest thing i cant see artest coming to LA

im sorry to say this about clevland but there kissing ass to keep lebron in town the more i hear these rumors about landing someone the more i want lebron to leave and danny ferry and co. to pay a huge luxary tax

rashard is going to tear the cavs a new one espiaclly if varejo who i hope goes to dallas was the closest guy to stoping rashard

[Kobe™]

hiphop is down the gutter in the shi*thole.

I miss "Just Don't Give A "...gonna have to pull that one up real quick.

I've been listening to hip-hop a long long time and they all sell out. Except for maybe Chuck D, KRS-1, De La, and Aceleyone. Of course Chuck D, KRS-1, and De La can live on past accomplishments, while Aceleyone never really got paid. Anything Common did after Resurrection except for that joint he did with De La and a couple others pretty much suck.

You sleeping check him out

Hip hop is almost extinct. The they have been churning out the past 20 years is not hip hop.

There's some good in there, but I agree most stuff after the mid 90's is trash.

Apparently the Knicks have just signed Artest according to his Twitter account.
