Damn if she doesn't look good while trying, though

    speak for yourself, umlaut! Hope can sway me with nothing more than that smile…easily!

    Hope spring eternal.

    /shows self out.


  3. jjf3

    and, yeah, I don’t get it either. But she just “does” whatever “IT” is…

    Since I’m a few Bush Blacks deep, I’ll treat Backpasses as an open forum.

    First order of business: I can’t believe I’m buying a new Raekwon AND new Ghostface album in the same year.

    Second order of business: Lorrie Fair plays for Chelsea, hence I’ve lost all interest in her.

    You needed to end your 1st order with “, and it’s not 1997.”

    2nd order: I looked up recent Lorrie Fair pics. She no longer does it for me. Might just be the Chelsea blue. YOU’RE MY NEW GIRL, HOPE!


  6. Georger

    She looks like if Lucy Liu and Sarah Chalke had a baby. Not sure how that would work.


  7. ebullientfatalist

    @Umlaut: I will add the “1997″ caveat, because you’re right. Late-90s rap remains my favorite era of music: “It Was Written,” “Reasonable Doubt,” “The War Report,” and “Uptown Saturday Night” all released in a two year period? Please. Absolutely phenomenal.

    I’m also looking forward to The Black Keys new rap project. And Arsenal winning the league.


  8. call me crazy, but I think Hope Solo is a very attractive woman.

    oh, you were all thinking that too?

    So was that a man or woman in the GettyImages pic?


  10. Keith

    ef- “Ason Jones” and “Kiss the Ring” are my two favorites on the Rae album, by far.


  11. phil

    @ ef: completely agree. Fantastic music back then. Wu-Tang solo project that too many people have forgotten about: GZA’s Liquid Swrods, which contained maybe the greatest Method Man verse ever.


  12. ebullientfatalist

    @Phil: I’m unfamiliar with this “Liquid Swrods” of which you speak. I keed, I keed. I was at a GZA show last August in Seattle where he performed Liquid Swords all the way through, in song order.

    @Keith: “Gihad” and “Canal Street” for me.
