What a loss.Bias in Celtic Green with Larry Bird, and the Showtime Lakers would have had a few less rings.
One of my all-time favorite BB games was that night when Lenny lit up those damned Tar Heels in the Dean Dome with 35 points.
February 20, 1986
Len Bias cements his status as one of the ACC's all-time great players when he leads unranked Maryland to a 77-72 overtime victory over No. 1-ranked North Carolina in the Smith Center. The Terps senior star, who earlier poured in 41 points in a loss at Duke, scores 35 against the Tar Heels. More importantly, he sparks a dramatic comeback, symbolized by an inbounds play where he bounced the ball off the back of a Tar Heel defender, recovered his own pass and scored on a reverse dunk. It's also UNC's first loss ever in the Smith Center.

Wonderful, DV. Bias came to Maryland about the time I was leaving.
Yeah man. I didn't know you was up in College Park.
When Len Bias died, DC felt like it did after King got killed, without the riots.
Yo what happened to that vaccine vid? I wanted my girl to peep..
Cnu? Eminem's new song about Rain Man,possesion etc vs. Mr. honors comprehensive breakdown of umbrella. What do you think????
Ill,
I can't stand eminem.
So I hadn't heard that joint until just now in response to your inquiry.
I still can't stand eminem.
His shit is SO contrived and elementary school sounding that it's borderline ridiculous to me.
That umbrella joint, otoh, was a spontaneous flow from out of Terius Nash's right hemisphere - song nearly wrote itself and with the quickness.
Um-ber-el-la
and Rain Man
had entirely different sources.
I'll ponder the matter a bit further and listen to some more of the output from Stewart, Nash, and Harrell.
From an historical perspective, one of the things I've observed over time wrt the music and lyrics that operate from the level of umbrella, is that they've tended to come from hitmaking teams.
Fundamentally, the language and lubricant undergirding that type of flow is musical.
These strictly "lyrical" cats are not particularly musically skilled or gifted, and they don't really have much if any access to that multi-planar, quadruple entendre, ergodic level of expression that emanates from a musical level of cognition.
I asked this question a month ago Ill,
http://subrealism.blogspot.com/2009/05/what-is-music.html
and you'd a thunk I asked muhphuggahz "what is God" from the deafening silence and complete and total brainlock that ensued.
I'm surely not going to repeat the question here given the terrified defensiveness that erupted when people's undigested "feelings" and pseudo-religious babblings were taken to task.
Cept for you magne.
you ain't scurred.
What is music Ill?
p.s. Ill, these two cats here are absolutely peerless, imoho.
What a loss.

Why oh why Lenny, did you have to hit that cocaine?
Jordan would not be as much of a diety today if Lenny stayed with us. Kids who love explosiveness & aerial assaults would have had to pick between Nique, Jordan, Clyde and Bias. Nique was a MF'n beast but Bias was clearly a much better prospect.
Bias is almost worthy of honorary induction to the Hall IMO.
