HUGE snub to Eminem, especially since you would want a seasoned battle rapper. Also, if we forge enough documents to get Canada to claim Vanilla Ice or Sisqo as one of their own, I think we can write them off the list for challengers

I did not forget about Eminem, much like the rest of the country Forgot about Dre. Detroit is going to represent as it's own country. The lineup-

Eminem
Violet J
Shaggy 2 Dope (both of the Insane Clown Posse)
Everlast
MC Breed (at least in spirit, RIP)

Ted Nugent, the Motorcity Madman, will be head coach, and The Bushman (local night jock on 98 WJLB) will be the trainer. This team will dominate, if they don't simply fight amongest each other.

I forgot to mention, X-Clan can represent Egypt. Their always rapping about the Red, Black and Green, and taking it back to the motherland.

Violet J? Is that like Violent J's wife or sister?

I think Ice Court Basketball has potential. But rather than dribbling the ball, allow only one spiked shoe, the other one can be used as a glide. If you push off more than once it is traveling.

The IOC is rampantly anti-American due to them being bailed out by the USOC who demanded a cut of future earnings and now makes a fortune off of every Olympics. This pisses off the smaller countries who think they would get some of the money, which is a farce, since the IOC elite would just keep it and are pissed off they even needed help from the gauche and brash Americans who tried to jail them for their established corruption and end the bribes.

So unless the rap battle is a true last man standing where the sheer force of your words causes your opponent to explode expect the judges to choose Belize as the winner.

They would probably also force you to battle in BOTH official languages of the Olympics, English and French which would give a certain advantage to French Canadians and Switzerland. And even then, someone like Ke$ha is more likely to be sent, because rapping about being roofies and binge drinking is true hip hop.

Good point, Laxdude. For the US to have any chance of beating MC Solaar, I vote we make it full contact and send the following 5-

Big Lurch
C-Murder
R- Truth
Mike Tyson (rapped with Cannibus on a moderatly popular hit)
Spice 1 (simply because I would like to find out, once and for all, if he was just a "studio gangsta")

I think Violet J is just me passivly-agressing the ICP.

If it's full contact, then I nominate Suge Knight. Nothing psyches out the competition like being hung off the balcony of their Olympic Village suite

I have not listened yet but I know for fact "Necro" was not mentioned, despite being the greatest rapper alive and actually actively still making music that people listen to, Necro would win any rap battle and if he lost he kidnap then duct tape and dismember the competition so he still wins.

For a bunch of white boys y'all know too much about hip hop and rap. You should be Huey Lewis fans like I am.

Salwin didnt Big Luch smoke too much PCP, kill his girlfriend and eat her LUNGS then take to the LA city streets naked and coverd in blood (and lung)??

Right. Nobody's going to fuck with Big Lurch.

Polly,

I believe Lurch ate his buddy's girlfriend. Which is a pretty jacked up thing to do to a dude.

He could offer that service for hire. Hey Lurch, I'm stuck in this dead-end relationship with a girl I'll probably never love. But I don't want to break her heart. Can you just eat it?

i hate rap music more than i hate dead puppies. Truly great rap left this planet YEARS ago and has been replaced by nontalents who all talk about the same things....how much money they have, the size of the rims they have on a specific car, tossing about names of ghetto liquors (or at least they're ghetto after they start rapping about them. See PETRONE and CRISTAL examples), how many bitches they're f*cking, they type of guns they own and how fast they'll pull them on you and all their stupid 'bling,' Oh and i forgot....DRUGS. How many drugs they've sold, how they'll sell them to YOU and 15000 different names for coke.

I refuse to listen to rap. I'd rather listen to Tod's boy Jarrod Leto on repeat all day long than ONE rap song from the last 10 years.

THAT BEING SAID....if you were to TRULY put toegther a freestyle Olympic team you'd have to have
1)Canibus
2)Fabolous
3)Jay-Z
4)Eminem
5)Big L (dead..i believe he was shot. Of course)
6)Mos Def
7)Common

Thats the last time I'll ever discuss rap music for the remainder of my life. Now i can get back to bashing HOTTALKLA.

I feel sad for Lbfm, like it's going to prison, got to keep a stiff upper lip for the boys though.
Greatmagnetspeed gentlemen, don't join any racist gangs and try not to get raped too much.

p.s. Tod, a dark tan, one of Marc's "street flannel's" and your goofy cholo accent will not get you accepted into a one of the mexican gangs, they might say it does but really they're just trying to trick you into going some place more secluded to further rape you.

Laxdude has gone into seclusion, he said he was ok with the news(still technically unannounced) but then he just vanished, you've crushed laxdude's soul, he has a family MAN!, you made him leave them in their fancy maple cabin that they live in all alone with only their pet moose and bear to protect them.
Lax is off in the wilderness fighting wild animals for pine cones to eat and shit, meanwhile Tod, Marc and John sit back and count there stacks of cash while getting blown by some "dime Pieces" as Marc put it, for shame.

you know that billboard, well I'm no longer going to imagine defacing it with an LBfm advert when I pass it each day.

I found the line up considerably offensive when it came to scenes of rap you failed to mention the midwest scene. Which can claim talents such as tech n9ne eminem mc breed common and lupe fiasco....and many others.

GIO your last post was cryptic. What do know about our beloved podcast that the rest of us dont? Im fearing the worst already so you might as well confirm it. LBFM will be listed in the Undertalent section of the HOTTALKLA website before the end of next week, wont it? I know you have inside knowledge since you're in with Carolla. Please break the news gently. Like i have cancer or Morrissey/Adam Duritz just died in a firey plance crash. Im not sure i can take such life altering news but GODDAMMIT i'll try.

Ok (deep breath, closes eyes, prays to nodody)..............GO.

LBFM? HTLA? FML.

what the hell is FML?? And who the hell is A???

I can't belive MF Doom wasn't mentioned! The West Coast, East Coast, and South were represented but not the underground!

I loves me some MC Breed, but I hear he is rapping with Pimp C, Mac Dre, Eazy E, Soulja Slim, one of the Fat Boys, Dirt McGirt, Tupac and Biggie. In other words, he's dead.

I sure wish I was as connected to the show as Gio is. I also wish I was counting those stacks of cash. Mmmmmm, stacks of cash...

I'm disappointed in John.

How could he not mention that Slick Rick would represent England. John do you have a problem with Slick Rick? You obviously snubbed him.
