In case you are interested, I am in a super weird John Maus phase tonight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfFCb1y0WfA

But please @ me if you want to talk about MF Doom from above. My lord and savior.

Man...I loved DOOM so so much. He’s frustrating because he does some incredible things with multi syllabic rhymes but then sometimes he forces weird phrases for the sake of rhyme and sometimes he writes with too many syllables for the meter and it’s sloppy, just because he wanted more rhyming syllables. However in the end it’s worth it because he’s thought of some absolutely amazing rhymes throughout the years. He is a decent producer and has a good ear for picking beats, working with Madlib (my fav producer), Danger Mouse, and the guys who did Viktor Vaughn are all great producers.

Favorite DOOM album? (I gotta go with Madvillain)

Definitely Viktor Vaughn is Vaudeville Villain.

Even his “instrumental” albums are good.

His social anxiety for live shows and his tendency to do stuff just to show he can both can get frustrating. He also writes most of his guests’ lyrics too because he is a control freak (unless it is a legend like Raekwon or Ghostface). All that being said I adore the man.

We can probably have a whole MC discussion in the pop culture thread. My daughter who is about to turn three is currently really into Rakim.

So I did a ton of research during season 1, kept a running tally on my prospective teams percentages, minutes and such after every draft pick and probably overthought things at times.

This time around, I've spent almost no time researching outside of the first two rounds, picked off instinct and don't have any of my teams set up so I really wouldn't be surprised at a fall to mediocrity.

Ha yeah similar situation for me - mainly because I’m much busier at work than the first time around and just don’t have the time.

CJJJJJJJJJJ!

I've been watching too much basketball to end up with a backcourt including CJ and Lillard. Putting the teams together I am liking the fit with Dumars and Cooper on all teams. Just need those 19-20 rosters

I didn't notice that but just looked at your team. That looks like a fun squad.

Brilliant.

Wow @ Ben drafting Cousins.

That’s a bold strategy Cotton, let’s see if it pays off.

For serious though, I get it. He was on my board too for the same reason I drafted Josh Smith. He does a lot of ****, even if some of it is actual ****

At this point, given what he needed, I am not sure how many other options there were.

Well that too.

But I like it regardless of need.

Love the Brad Daugherty pick, JP

Thanks, man. I needed an efficient low-post scorer. His Def/OReb are bad, but at least he also passes well. I'd had my eye on him for a few rds, kinda surprised he was there.

A lot of fun guys went undrafted S1. good find

My Derek Harper/Michael Jordan/Brad Daugherty ATBA teams always struggled to get over the hump and for that I will always blame Brad.

Easy to blame Brad. He does some things well, but some things so badly. I just need him to score and pass a little, Rebs and Def are covered by Zo/Rodman/Boerwinkle.
