Wasn't insulting you. But yeah, if you want my opinion, I can't pick up your flow from it. The meaning is difficult to decifer without your aid, and yes I am an avid listener of hip hop, so it is not a foreign language to me per se. Put it on a beat and I can give a better opinion.

Good luck with it! I love the piano, I just hated learning it. Parents pushed me to finish all my grades, so I finished them after 11 years and never touched the piano again. It's sad because I'd love to play, but I can't stand to sit down to do it. I hope you enjoy it enough to just keep practising. Perfect practice makes perfect so my teacher always used to say. Oh and if you're doing grades, make sure you buy a few books you like to sightread from. Sightreading is something I failed at constantly, but is the skill I'd most like to have.

I am an optimist without the use of the quiz about world issues.

We have one of those where I live, except ours dispenses butter, teddy bears, orange juice and the occasional ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã10 note. He tried to sign a cheque as "Jesus Christ" so my mother who was serving him at the time said, "No, your name's Mr Perry." He insisted that he was Jesus Christ so mum said "If you're Jesus Christ, I'm the virgin Mary - just call me mother." He was unimpressed by this and called her a harridan. Hahah! What's with crazy people and Jesus? Oh and just for amusement's sake, we have a wizard as well. He chases kids and his dog has mental fits. Yes, he wears that cape, come rain come shine. And those are PVC trousers.

Mmhmm Shrek 3 for me too. And Rise of the Silver Surfer. Wow those were awful on another level. Plus (insert any chick flick here). Seriously, I hate love stories. Heartless but true.

Text battle forums. Sounds Gangsta.

Jesus. He gave me a pound coin and a Dairy Milk bar. He's a local crazy.

When I see George Galloway I think of cats.

I saw California Love on a Love songs compilation cd. My top 10 however would be as follows. A delightful selection of Reggae, Ragga and 80s Hip Hop: 1. Morgan Heritage - Down By The River 2. Sanchez - Live it Up 3. Turbulence - Dusty a Dirt 4. Whodini - Friends 5. Dana Dane - Nightmares 6. Slick Rick - Children's Story 7. Sizzla - Thanks and Praise 8. Blackstreet - Don't Leave 9. Kurtis Blow - The Breaks 10. Bounty Killer & Lukie D - Kill Another Sound

Lol

Why are all the reasons numbered 1?

Will be good when I get some time. E-mail = [email protected]

I had a dream I rode a magic carpet and attacked a flying bear with a fire extinguisher.

Lol. Aspergers. Lol. http://benc.livejournal.com/45403.html

This thread is just weird. I'm female myself, and rest assured, if I ever met you in real life, I'd run a mile.

It's slang, get over it. Any part of the world, any country, you will get slang. Come to London and ask why is a "car" referred to as a "whip"? Or in Nottingham, why is a "friend" referred to as "mush"? No point blaming rap.

If you've been to New York, the London is basically the equivalent. Minus the hispanics and replace them with Indians/Pakistanis/Bengalis. Just stay away from Lewisham, Brixton, Hayes, Stratford, Hackney, Finsbury, Tottenham, Acton, Wood Green, Feltham, Mitcham, Highbury, Clapham, Kilburn and Harlesden. Stay away from anywhere where the locals say "north wheezey" (north west). Chavs and gangs around those parts of those areas. Not saying the whole area is like that, but Lewisham is the hypest place at the moment. Boys even started to wear red and blue in flippin Brixton, (yes I live there...) Taking the piss doesn't mean taking a piss. It just means "making fun of". Slang is abundant, and unfortunately most people fall victim to it. I only speak for the people I know however. I'll give a quick translation of common slang words. Man Dem = Men/Boys Innit = Isn't it? Buff = Good looking, doesn't mean muscley. Shank = Knife Skeen/Seen = An expression to mean "I understand what you're saying" Murked = Someone or something that has been destroyed. Cotch = relax Wasteman/wastegash= loser (male/female) Bait = obvious Long = Time consuming Safe = Can mean "good" or as a greeting. On road = Around or from the street Bare = a lot or very. E.g. It's bare hot = it's very hot. BRRRAAAP = a term showing excitement. Butters = ugly Brass = broke, no money Boid = When someone has been insulted or openly ignored. I could go on for days. I'll stop there though. I was brought up on slang. Luckily for the boards I do not type the way I speak. For food I'd suggest a Carribbean restaurant. Yeah English food, I don't much appreciate it. Be prepared for a nation of binge drinkers. Oh and if you smoke, don't be prepared to inside public places. To get around London, if you're under 16, get a travel card, not sure if you can apply for an oyster card for under 18s. Oyster card is a "cheaper" method of travel via tubes and buses, but is still a complete rip off. Yeah, and bring a lot of money. Things are so expensive in central. Unless you shop exclusively at Lidl. God I'm gonna stop now before this doesn't end.

I'd say some talented artists that wouldn't go amiss would be: Lupe Fiasco K-Os Easy-E Common Talib Kweli If people want to listen to hip hop without the gangsta rap, I'd suggest the 80s. (One of my most favourite genres!) Slick Rick Dana Dane Kurtis Blow Triple Threat Whodini Kool Moe Dee A Tribe Called Quest Too Short LL Cool J U.T.F.O Grandmaster Flash (Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff... hey, at least you can laugh..)

Ha, another Daddy's girl. Despite his racism towards caucasians. My dad is the best. So laid back, yet so clever. My mum's a psychopath. Literally. Doesn't mean I don't love her, but boy, wouldn't want to live with her.

Richard Prior. Without a doubt. He makes me want to wet myself with laughter. There's a few others I love, but Rickard Prior takes me back to my childhood. He's timeless.

Yep, and I still have no idea who he is. But if it makes people happy to tell them, let them be.

I much prefer to call rather than text. I use so many damn minutes it's unbelievable, brain damage here I come. Texting comes in handy when I can't call, however I do spell like a complete and utter [developmentally delayed] just so that it stays within 1 text.

Hmm, I don't know how this works, but my memory is not photographic I don't think seeing as I don't remember everything. When it comes to exams, I don't learn words, just pages, then when I come to the exam I read off the page in my memory and recite everything word for word off that page in my head. I used to get accused of cheating constantly. My IQ the last time I tested was just over 100 though (110 or something like that.)

I wouldn't really say that was moaning, just a guy who wants to play tennis with you. That example I would classify more as failed persuasion. If it's really bugging you explain the reasons why you don't want to and leave it at that?
