Agent Risktaker

Soulja Slim lost his life last year to a hitman in an apparent record label rivalry. Now, the slain New Orleans rapper has been posthumously named as a prime suspect in another gruesome murder. While investigating the murder of James 'Soulja Slim' Tapp, who died by an assailants gunfire on his mother's lawn on November 26, 2003, detectives found an ominous link that implicated the rapper in a murder of Robert Lee Paige Jr. that took place in September 2003. The thirty year old New Orleans man was shot and tossed into a City Park lagoon -- his body weighted down with cinder blocks. And apparently, Slim is being looked into as a possible suspect in other shootings. "We had a known credible witness who came in and gave us circumstances of the murder which substantiated information that, through our investigation, only we had," Scott said. "There would be no other reason for a person to come in and name Soulja Slim as a perpetrator after the fact. There would be nothing for that person to gain," said Third District Capt. James Scott. Slim's family and friends are outraged by the accusation, saying Tapp was on the verge of stardom and was in the process of promoting his album. "That's just their way of closing their books," said Tapp's manager, Anthony "Antman" Murray. "Nothin' on the street was serious enough for him to bother with like that. Nothing that crucial...He wasn't on that type of time. He was on artist-type time." Meanwhile, they also have to contend with another blow. The DA's office has concluded that it would not charge the suspected hit man, Garelle Smith, in the murder of Slim because "the evidence was insufficient to prove the crime." Speculation is still swirling as to who could have been behind the murder of Slim, some naming Master P and No Limit as the culprits. "It could have been jealousy, it could have been a lot of things," he said. "You hear so much, you don't know what to believe. But the streets talk, and with the following that Slim had, the truth is going to come out," remarks Slim's producer, KLC. credit - SOHH There's already alot of songs flying around between some of Master P's crew and Juvenile's crew so this thing is just waiting to blow up.

"Me & My Brother" by Ying Yang Twins is a good album, too. Not for masterpieces, but for several catchy songs. "Get Low," "Shake it like a Saltshaker," "Naggin," "What's Happening" are all decent songs.

Is there a difference between Dawn of the and Night of the Living? No.

That guy was awesome. Too bad he got killed at the end by that cop guy.

PARIS - Lance Armstrong rode into history Sunday, winning a record sixth Tour de France and cementing his place as one of the greatest athletes of all time. Never in its 101-year history has the Tour had a winner like Armstrong — who just eight years ago was given less than a 50 percent chance of overcoming testicular cancer that spread to his lungs and brain. His streak of six straight crowns has helped reinvigorate the greatest race in cycling, steering it into the 21st century. And the Tour, as much a part of French summers as languid meals over chilled rose, molded Armstrong into a sporting superstar. "It might take years. I don't know. It hasn't sunk in yet. But six, standing on the top step on the podium on the Champs-Elysees is really special," he said. The ride into Paris and its famous tree-lined boulevard was a lap of honor Armstrong savored with a glass of champagne in the saddle. Even Jan Ullrich, his main adversary in previous years, gulped down a glass offered by Armstrong's team manager through his car window. "The last laps there, I thought, 'Ah, I want to get this over with,'" Armstrong said. "But then I thought to myself, 'You know, you might want to do a few more laps, because you may not ever do it again.' And you can't take it for granted." President Bush (news - web sites) called soon after his fellow Texan crossed the finish line. "You're awesome," Bush told him. With the Arc de Triomphe in the background, Armstrong put his yellow bicycle cap over his heart during the raising of the American flag and playing of "The Star-Spangled Banner." It might be his last time on the podium, at least for a while. Armstrong has said he might skip the sport's showcase event next year. Belgian rider Tom Boonen won the final sprint, with Armstrong cruising safely behind with the trailing pack to claim his title. Armstrong's winning margin over second-placed Andreas Kloden was 6 minutes, 19 seconds, with Italian Ivan Basso in third (6:40). Ullrich was fourth (8:50), his worst finish. Armstrong opened a new page for the Tour in 1999, just one year after the race faced its worst doping scandal, ejecting the Festina team after police caught one of its employees with a stash of drugs. Armstrong's victories and his inspiring comeback from cancer have drawn new fans to a race that has been won five times by four other riders. His professionalism, attention to detail, grueling training regimens and tactics have raised the bar for other riders hoping to win the three-week cycling marathon. Eye-catching in the bright yellow race leader's jersey he works so hard for, Armstrong donned a golden cycling helmet for a relaxed roll past sun-baked fields of wheat and applauding spectators into Paris from Montereau in the southeast. He joked and chatted with teammates who wore special blue jerseys with yellow stripes. They stretched in a line across the road with their leader for motorcycle-riding photographers to record the moment. The team was the muscle behind Armstrong's win, leading him in grueling mountain climbs, shielding him from crashes and wind, and keeping him stoked with drinks and food. With five solo stage wins and a team time-trial victory with his U.S. Postal Service squad, this was Armstrong's best Tour. But it was also one in which he was forced to defend himself against claims he might be taking performance-enhancing drugs. Repeatedly pointing out he has never failed a test, Armstrong attributes his success to hard training and says the accusations only fuel his motivation. Last week, he chased down Filippo Simeoni, an Italian rider who has testified about drug use within cycling, when he tried to surge ahead of the pack to win a stage. Armstrong's team also chased down Simeoni several times when he rode at the front Sunday. Before the Tour, Armstrong sued authors of a book who implied, without offering proof, that he used drugs. "They want to create pressure that cracks you," Armstrong said. "So, internally I say, 'OK, I will never crack because of that. This will not crack me.'" Armstrong built his lead from Day 1, placing second in the third-fastest debut time trial in Tour history. That performance silenced doubts that Armstrong, at 32, was past his prime. Even more so than in other Tours that he dominated, he finished off rivals in the mountains — with three victories in the Alps, including a time trial on the legendary climb to L'Alpe d'Huez, and another in the Pyrenees. He also took the final time trial on Saturday, even though he his overall lead was so big he didn't need the win. "We never had a sense of crisis, only the stress of the rain and the crashes in the first week," Armstrong said. "I was surprised that some of the rivals were not better. Some of them just completely disappeared." Basque rider Iban Mayo peaked too early when he beat Armstrong in the warm-up Dauphine Libere race three weeks before the Tour. Mayo crashed in the Tour's rain-soaked, nervous first week, racing toward a treacherous stretch of cobblestones that Armstrong crossed safely. Mayo finally abandoned the race after the Pyrenees, his morale shot after two disappointing rides in the mountains where he'd hoped to win in front of Basque fans. Former Armstrong teammates Roberto Heras, left trailing in the mountains, and American Tyler Hamilton, badly bruised in a crash, also went home. "The little guys, the pure climbers — Mayo, Tyler — the first week is very hard on them, always fighting for position, the wind. A lot of acceleration through villages at the finish. This becomes a problem for them after 10 days," Armstrong said. "That's the beauty of the Tour. If the race was 10 or 12 days long, they'd be much better. You have to do it all." Ullrich, the 1997 champion and a five-time runner-up, never recovered from seeing Armstrong zoom into the distance for two straight days in the Pyrenees. The only rider to stay with Armstrong there was Basso, a 26-year-old with the makings of a future winner. He came out of the Alps, where Armstrong for the first time in his career won three consecutive stages, in second place overall. But Kloden, the German champion and Ullrich's teammate, outdid the soft-spoken Basso in the final time trial, placing third behind Armstrong and Ullrich. That ride propelled Kloden, who did not complete last year's Tour, into second spot on the podium, pushing Basso back to third. "I never would have predicted Kloden before the Tour. But you could see he was really strong and skinny in the first week," Armstrong said. Armstrong still hasn't decided whether he will back next year to compete in the race he loves above all others, for which he trains relentlessly, leaving his three children in Texas, with former wife Kristin, while he pounds the roads in Europe. "I don't know what I'll do next summer. I suspect I'll be here. It's too big of a race. My only hesitance is I think the people and the event perhaps need a change, new faces, a new winner," he said. "If I'm here, I race to win." Seven victories would be like owning seven sports cars, nice but not necessary. Armstrong says he's interested in trying other races — the Tour of Italy, Classics, and beating the one-hour cycling world record held by Britain's Chris Boardman. After more than 1,900 miles of racing, riders mostly took it easy on the 101-mile final stage, until they reached the crowd-lined Champs-Elysees. Some took souvenir photos of themselves as they rode, and Armstrong even stopped by the side of the road momentarily to adjust his saddle. He also chatted to Belgian rider Axel Merckx, whose father, Eddy, is one of the five-time champions Armstrong passed. The others are Frenchmen Bernard Hinault and Jacques Anquetil, and Spaniard Miguel Indurain. Victory in France has brought Armstrong fame, wealth and softened some of the brashness he displayed as a young rider. He's picked up rudimentary French and says his love of the Tour won't end when he eventually retires. "I'll definitely watch the Tour on TV, always," he said.

Can anyone explain what Smurf knows that can dethrone 50 Cent?

They've all sucked since the beginning. The Crow 2, The Crow: Stairway to Heaven, The Crow 3, Wings of the Crow; all of them. It gets old using the same storyline over and over, which is what Crow is based around. It's not a film that should've ever had a sequel.

Anything from Otep or whatever that band Tristy likes is called Milkshake Stacy's Mom

Just to get everyone hyped for Halo 2, and it's certainly working.

It's pretty old, but David Banner's "Mississippi: The Album." Choose me and Cadillac on 22's are awesome.

Hopefully my candle light viduals will pay off and we'll have no rock shit. :thumbsup: I'm hoping for alot of West Coast rap. Possibly some Tupac, Snoop, Dr. Dre, etc.

He's going to be starring in Meet the Fockers, too. I loved De Niro in The Fan, by the way. Awesome movie.

GTA ripoff and a bad one at that.

I can't decide. De Niro was amazing in Taxi Driver, but Pacino was just as good in Scarface. De Niro, I guess.

Even worse. Let's wait for an official word.

I Love the 90's was a huge letdown for me and I'm not sure if it's because the 90's sucked or if VH1 just can't do shit right nowadays.

One of the biggest reasons that some families don't support the war in Iraq has nothing to do with whether or not it's justified. It has to do with their precious child going off to war, which they weren't expecting. People use the navy and army to pay for college, without fully grasping the concept that they will be shipped off if a war starts.

Not sure if you can count this as a source, but this is where Fahrenheit Fact got the quote from: http://www.sptimes.com/2004/05/14/Floridia...ut_up_or_.shtml

"Disney mouthpieces also said Miramax was informed nearly a year ago that the company wouldn't distribute Fahrenheit 9/11. Miramax apparently hoped Disney would change its corporate mind. Moore apparently was convinced that would happen, or else Miramax would use another distribution outlet for Fahrenheit 9/11 to reach theaters, which is what it did with the controversial Dogma in 1999. That film, with its satire of Roman Catholicism, also was disavowed by Disney."

There shouldn't of been any controversy in the first place, since Disney told Miramax and Michael Moore about a year before the movie was finished that they wouldn't let it be released under their name/company. They both simply ignored Disney, thinking they'd change their minds once the film was finished.

Taken from http://fahrenheit_fact.blogspot.com/. Here are several glaring ones: There's plenty more on the website. It's defiantly an eye-opener and just goes to show that Michael Moore is a god at spinning the facts to his favor.

So you'd rather me base my opinion off nothing? I have to watch something before I know if I like it or not. Nice try, though. :thumbsup:

I'd like to bust in on her halfway through a song. On a Monday, I am waiting.. On Tuesday, I am.... No Ashlee, your voice is shit. Make it sound better. JUST SURRENDER TO ME JUST SURR-- *Jerry Rice busts in and kills her*

How much are they giving, though.
