...from Unger. The 6’8 reserve drained his first three-pointer—and only his second of the season—from the right side with just less than eight minutes to go to give Harvard its largest lead of the contest, 52-34. Albany guard Jamar Wilson immediately answered with a trifecta of his own to cut the Crimson lead back...

...said that they might be one of the best teams Harvard has met. The Great Danes have played only one home game and against some very tough teams, including national powerhouses Florida and UCLA, as well as San Diego State and Cleveland State. Albany boasts two extremely talented guards, Jamar Wilson and Lucious Jordan, both of whom have topped 1,000 career points. Jordan has had a down year this year, averaging only 6.3 points a game, but another guard, Jon Iati, has stepped up in his stead, averaging 12.4 points per game. Sullivan said Albany?...

...what I--and probably your girl--didn't expect is that this hook represents Jamar's new style. The Dread Jamar shines in "The Beat Change," over a Lord Finesse track reminiscent of roller rinks: "I be that kid with the dreads / I remember when I hid from the feds / plus I always did what I said / I was gonna do / talk sh*t right in front of you / never forfeit, on top / we do it non-stop, with more jewels than a pawn shop."

...instances of Jamar's poetry in motion that have me feeling ultra transcend these conventional schemes, where you can notice he actual format and where he breaks it up, as in "Straight OuttaNow Rule": "A lot of y'all n*ggas is 85th/ on someshady sh*t/ bark is much worse than your bite likea baby pit/ in the pitch dark of the night youafraid to get exposed/like the sunlight which rosein the morning/ froze in a gunfight." OK, Mr.Superthug forever-strapped Jamar can ease up offthe hardness; but van-damn, he can rhyme...

...course, there are unforgiveables. Pubasounds aight singing in "Foundation," but he needsto chill in "Love Vs. Hate." "Don't Let it Get toyour Head." "Let's Dance" and "Too Late" all soundas pop as a can of Pringles. "Sincerely" getsprops for the concept and a hypnotizinginstrumental, but even Jamar should've sat down awhile longer with his text. And although I likeOne for all, the regression to their sound fromback then in "I'm Black and I'm Proud" isdubious. Then again, your girl could getnostalgic...
