If your talking rap then why aren't you listening to tu'pac, dr. dre, ice cube, nwa, public enemy, Old school snoop dog or the ppl who made it famous like suger hill gang or Run DMC the kings of rap.

I'm talking hip-hop. Big difference. 2pac and Dre are a given, and i find your view of "rap" very west coast biased. Sugar hill and DMC never did it for me honestly. Walk this way was a better Aerosmith song in my opinion. Plus If I listened to boom bap style it was most likely KRS-One. I'd be more interested to find out which current artists if any you listen to. There's a lot of good music out there most of it isn't on the radio.

Here's a tip for you then,
Mtg is a money pit. You can just keep spending monies on it and it will never be enough. :/

I couldn't agree more good sir. I started playing when Onslaught first dropped. I was fortunate enough to have access to a local comic and card shop that kept its doors open late for the nerdy street urchins. There I learned the ropes but sadly that experience was short lived after the law got wind that an adult was "supervising" children into wee hours of the morning (sometimes until the sun came up). Nothing happened like they made it seem by it was enough for the parents to want the shop closed. Course when you're 13 year old doesn't come home til after sunrise I suppose I could see why they were upset. After that I semi-ceased playing all together and about a year ago sold all my cards and almost gave up hope I would find more players again (so sad... Lol) lately however I've started up again playing with my co workers on breaks and have already sunk so much money into my decks.. I guess that was my point all along... Haha sorry for the life story guys, nice to meet y'all as well.

Actually there's a comic/gaming shop just down the road but I'm nervous about going in there and learning the ropes from a bunch of hardcore tabletoppers.  Im sort of an athletic dude and I don't know, they intimidate me hahaha.

Well see now I had a friend introduce me and believe it was intimidating and you also have to be ok with people handing you your taint numerous times. It's true that in most card shops there is an air of "know what you want and what you're doing" but being straight up will usually divulge the inner workings of most card "scenes" MtG players tend to be very humble people with mean streaks, I.e. we take pleasure from schooling newbies who think they're hot s--t (as almost ALL MtG players think they are at some point in their "career"). Moral of the story, you ain't gotta lie to kick it. Walk in and watch a few hands (w/o being a shoulder looker) and read a rule book at some point are the only two pieces of advice I'll give. Like I said, MtG players are genually cool people, have no fear.
