I can’t believe that I used to casually listen to this song as a kid when my parents played it, ignored most of it to only grow up to be 30 and now obsessed with the song entirely lol The beat is a masterpiece and the mark’s unique voice just adds a different kind of richness to this song imo.

On tik-tok I read a comment and it read:

“This song is a cookout song, a party song, a break up song, a vibe song, a spring cleaning song, a reception song all in one!”

I couldn’t imagine many people hearing this and just pleading for it to get skipped. I played it at work closing on my shift and the energy from the track itself gave me a second wind frfr. This is undeniably one of the 90s top 5 songs ever.

Describe what this song does for you musically when you play it? I can’t be the only one that feels this way 😅🤣

I got an accessory I want to add to a created fighter in def jam that I made in blender and FFS I’ve been at this for hours. I don’t know what to look for because ChatGPT is as smart as the useless information it finds on google. Help?

If we being real, the gameplay isn’t the worst and the graphics for that time was crazy. Still really not that bad for a game made in the early 2000s. By far the customization is at its peak with this title as well as the music. (If you are a true fan rap/hip hop of course) not to mention, to me the fighting styles were actually pretty dope and this title had a more innovative approach to environmental damage that incorporated the Essence of hip-hop. As a 10-11 year old rap fan I really enjoyed the thought of scratching on a turntable and sending someone across the map.

Now the only real cons about this game is the lack of a roster and the removal of blazing moves. I feel like they could have found a way to modernize the blazing moves back then and they could have did what they’ve done in the past and base fighters off of real life entertainers or artists that may have not made the game. (Rappers were wising up but they still weren’t that smart back in the day lol) Plus, they could have found ways to add extra attacks while inflicting environmental damage; ~ Ex. [insert uppercut, kick or grapple after blow back from turntable effect]

All in all, I wouldn’t mind them keeping this format in The new one. Just bring back blazing moves and I guarantee most detractors would change their minds About the game.

What’s yall thoughts on Def Jam Icon? Let me know in the comments.

I won’t say who cause I’ll be posting the character presentation later. (Kinda wanna see who in the comments will actually know who I’m talking about lowkey) But, his backstory reveals “he fights using a mixture of judo and Muay Thai, with a variety of nice throws, palm strikes, elbows, and knees. He has a strong chin and uses his defense to counter and reverse his opponents' moves.”

With that tidbit of info; what are you choosing? :

WR/KB/SF or WR/KB/MA

In my opinion, I think they both are pretty effective but the first option feels more candid to how he fought in Def Jam Vendetta. The second option gives a good speed boost but the character initially isn’t an agile fighter and doesn’t really dish out the crazy kicks the martial arts style has to offer. (Both are honestly cheesy and would piss people off online lol)

Yall help a 🥷 out bruh lmao I really am struggling to choose… 😂😂 give me your input in the comments

I always use to ponder on the thought of it as a kid and I still think idea would be cool. How they would do it does a play a part though cause while it sounds cool, depending on how they go about executing could hit or miss.

What yall think? if you were interested in doing so, explain what your blazing move would be. If you are against it or skeptical, expand on that.

So I’m trying to edit a created character on def jam ffny. I’m trying to wrap bandages around his feet to make him look like a mma fighter. The game is based out of 2004 and rampage Jackson was an mma fighter before he went big in the ufc, so I thought that would be cool to add that on.

I didn’t take into consideration how hard it is to identify on bare skin where I want to wrap the desired texture onto the feet of my character lol. I’ve tried changing him into pants and redumping but now I can’t even see his foot textures anymore.

To anyone that’s good at retexturing or editing them:

How would yall go about this process? Is there any tutorials I could watch? Any help would suffice

It updated but I am not sure if it’s converted. I look on the about page in the help tab and it still isn’t any indication that it’s a nightly version. Should I just download it and install it from the webpage itself or is there an easier way to do this? I’m kinda new to emulation and would appreciate any answers from anyone

So I’m looking for builds, custom names and if you wanna go the extra mile you can comment pictures of rappers outfits you think would suit the fighter.

I’ve made a few but why not ask a community full of possible good ideas?

So I just learned about the competitive scene behind this game a couple years back and I’ve picked this game back up recently after not having access to it for 13 years and I’m still able to get thru matches on hard difficulty in about 1-2 minutes most of the time. I just never been the greatest with parrying punches/kicks. Also i wanna learn how to “block cancel” with attacks. Any tips overall that anyone wants to share?

Why not make/join a subreddit dedicated for old $B music or something rather than using this subreddit, which is for actual fans of ALL their music?

Fandom here has become this echo chamber of complaints on things they can easily change. If you don’t like the new them then SAY THAT AND STOP LISTENING TO THEM. Don’t “well I’m happy for them getting sober but I want their old music back” which really means “since I can’t grow up and stop depending on artists that don’t know me from a can of paint to help me cope with my shitty life, I’ll just bitch and moan until it feels like I’m heard and get my favorite degenerate drug addict artists back”

A lot of yall don’t realize how much you have normalized your own personal toxic traits to the point Yall regularly bash their new selves because it doesn’t represent yall anymore. Stop acting like crabs in a bucket and move on in yall lives. Go do something good in life. Go help somebody. Help YOURSELF even. Just please stop with the infernal complaining because it will never go back to how it was.

Drug Addicted suicide boys are gone forever. The kind of music yall once loved is now in the past and it’s there for a reason. NOW MOVE ON AND GROW UP.

So I made a pair of greaves with the extra spell points enchant and it activates during full moon. Now to my knowledge, it should raise my amount of magicka. Well even after repairing my item, the effect doesn’t pop up in my spell book anymore (meaning my magicka doesn’t increase above its original amount after that) I’m wondering if I messed something up when making this item or not. What’s yall suggestions? Any help?

I want producers who specialize in making melodies and samples. We could use some exclusive loops and of course in the server we can find people to work with and create music.

The server I’m apart of is called music network and we are looking to get traction. To start getting our names out there and produce quality music. We mainly produce hip-hop (all sub genres included), pop, electronic and club music (jersey club, dancehall, edm etc)

If interested, comment below your links of portfolio and dm me.

I downloaded it for a build I already been playing with prior to installing the mod. Could that be an issue? After further research on making spells I’d really love to be able to test out some of the higher costing ones I’ve made but I need more magicka for that and the mod isn’t working for me.

Has anyone else experienced this problem too? How could I fix it?

I don’t know how to make spells and I don’t understand the math that it takes. Help? Dumb it down for me?

I’m looking to make another source of income out of this and I honestly would like a small team of people to bounce ideas with or share loops with. An opportunity to help each other do business and make good music to see a profit from. Of course I could do it all myself, but it never hurts to have other influences from other like-minded individuals.

Post any loops you wanna share in the comments or interest in the idea

I’ve been struggling with this for months and I don’t wanna keep messing with settings I don’t understand and mess something up. Doesn’t matter what value I set it to, it remains the same. Why is that? How would I fix that?

Context: Apparently in game 5 dirk ended up getting sick and didn’t play so bron and wade mimicked him coughing in the tunnel on their way to the locker room. Dirk in the video confronted d-wade about it face to face on what looks to be a podcast.

___________________________________________

I scroll on over to the comment section and of course, I happen to find multiple comments that I found distasteful. (Some are replies to comments)there were a few people with ball knowledge luckily that actually came to dirk’s defense as well. Here’s the run down of one of the threads that sparked this post initially:

“ they glorify LeBron beating the 72 - 9 Warriors but never give Dirk his flowers for beating the first and only young super team (11’ Miami Heat)”

Then one of the more ludicrous comments caught my eye:

“Dirk definitely got his flowers. I didn’t think you could win a chip with Dirk as your best player. Pretty sure I wasn’t alone in that. It doesn’t put him in the goat conversations but it changes how he was viewed, forever.”

I view Dirk’s NBA career a bit differently; I think Dirk Nowitzki was the prototype for the modern day “stretch big” we all know and see today.He changed the game for the Power Forwards and Centers in the regards of spacing the floor out and emphasizing the skill to shoot from long range. Now you’re average NBA Big shoots from 34 feet out with ease. Dirk also wheeled the mavericks to top 5 in the western conference for a decade. **In 2003-04 he got them to a 52-30 record with arguably the most clunky and awkward lineup ever in history…(imo)

The Lineup Consisted of:

PG - Steve Nash

SG- Micheal Finley (at his decline)

SF- Antoine Walker (bad spacer, took poor shots, and bad defensively)

PF- Dirk Nowitzki

C- Shawn Bradley (a traffic cone)

The last 3 of the 8 man rotation:

6 - Josh Howard ( inconsistent scorer and was more reliable defensively)

7 - Eduardo Najera ( great value Anderson Varejão)

8 - Danny Fortson (who ever that is..)

**He took that team to the playoffs…**they lost, yes but the mere fact they even managed to win over 50 games in make the bracket was astonishing in itself to me. In another point, he’s averaged over 20 ppg for a decade as well.

Along with beating the Miami Heat in the 2011 NBA Finals. Mind you, The 2011 Mavericks relied on team unity with Dirk leading a balanced roster, while the Heat were powered by their superstar trio. In the end, Dallas’s teamwork outshone Miami’s star power. No one thought that old team stood a chance against the heat but to no avail; He still put a fork in them with a broken finger. (Not to mention a key player in Caron Butler missed the playoffs after injuring his patellar tendon plus the spark plug they had in Rodrigue Beaubois broke a bone in foot and didn’t play in the playoffs either.)

In short, Curry and Dirk are responsible for the NBAs current landscape today! Dirk Nowitzki is a HOF Player who deserves his spot in those goat conversations.

What’s yall thoughts on this? Do this man not have an argument for being considered “a goat” in NBA history? Is he not worthy as a “Top 75 Player”?
