  1. its not a repeat..this was the show: http://www.channel4.com/news/articles/arts...hancock/2295322
  2. Awesome! did he say when it would happen?
  3. Da Brakes continues his progression as a rap artist with his second full length, “Clean but Still Street.” The production level has risen and is more consistent as Brakes raps over a mix of R&B and funk grooves. The album is a throwback to the mid 90s where artists like Heavy D and Coolio were able to mix hip-hop credibility with a more pop accessible sound. Brakes displays plenty of rap skill and some quick rhyming but packages it with catchy hooks, dope beats and a lot of personality. Clean but Still Street starts out strong with “Hip Hop Loving.” It’s a fun jam and Da Ace once again compliments Brakes lyrical styling’s with a devastating multi syllable verse. “Sound Check” is a creative highlight. This hilarious track is well thought out and extremely well produced. It is similar to DJ format/Abdominal’s recent releases in that it is very funny yet still very catchy and worthy of repeat listens. The album has a lot of variety and touches on many different subjects. Two highlights are “Daddy’s own self,” an emotional ode to Brakes father and “Never Leave Me,” which recounts a broken heart and hurt feelings. “Bringing it Back” is a classic rap jam. Kel Spencer jumps on board for a verse and elevates the track to another level with a simple yet highly effective rhyme display, “I’m a fill a void, fill a gap, yeah, it’s a rap, bring it back.” There is no filler here, “Rhymes & Music” is another funk-laden track and Brakes effortlessly flows across the beat, “I got more soul than whole row of soul divas.” Kon-tempts still street hip-hop loving remix closes out the album. This is probably the hardest hitting track on the disc and you will definitely be bumpin this in the car. Clean but Still Street is a refreshing change from the gangsta tales, wild profanity and the monotonous tone of today’s popular rap. The album shows a diversity and maturity that belies Brakes years in the game. It’s straight up hip-hop packaged in an accessible sound. Da Brakes is clean, still street, and definitely moving forward. ~Hero1
  4. we should set up a test for the podcast!
  5. I guess theres a difference between rapping along to a track and knowing it off by heart.. if someone asked me to rap a track i'd be pretty comfortable with twinkle twinkle, its all good and jiggy.. not sure what else
  6. this is a 5 day july 4 weekend remember!! if Legend can open so huge in december..and Will's back in the biggest weekend of the year I don't think 150 is that unreasonable
  7. Maybe people are just used to ignoring everything you post...
  8. theres lots of video's of the premiere on youtube as well.. don't know if you can see you guys.. I wasnt sure where I should be looking
  9. So you guys are confident he'll record a new album?
  10. dj scratch! wow good to hear from him.. great LL track!
  11. Thats the problem you and Will have topdawg.. if he's gonna focus on acting how about actually making a good movie??? The focus seems to be all on his performance/winning an oscar! :nhawong:
  12. Of course they said it wasn't her. They were bought off. Nobody talks about that but it's true. He paid her & her family not to testify. Just like he paid those THREE underaged girls money not to take their case to court. If you're R. Kelly and you are so innocent then why are you paying people off to drop lawsuits and cases? This isn't about paranoia. This is about a man who has serious demons in his closet. Why don't you acknowledge that he did pay off 3 other underaged girls? Why won't you acknowledge that he married a 15-year-old girl, which by the way, is ILLEGAL!!! :yeahthat: :yeahthat:
  13. so if they are dressed like a ho you can do anything then can you
  14. I'd like to see if you had that same attitude if it was your 14 year old daughter or sister who got pissed on
  15. I'll have my review up this weekend!
  16. Will kissed Eva Mendez during the Hitch Premiere. I don't think he is worried about those rumors, and I don't think Jada is worried about it either. They shouldn't. It's just the way Will is, and I honestly think there's nothing wrong with it. well that's obvious. so the tour is def. out, if he doesn't perform at Mandela's birthday celebration in London, i'm not logging into the forum that day, it's gonna be ugly. haha I dont think he will perform either
  17. Great photos Michelle! Looked like you guys were in a really good position!
  18. he puts too much pressure on his leg/knee in his swing..thats the problem..
  19. http://www.dvdreview.co.uk/ - I really hope that a directors cut comes out, and hopefully we get to see what this movie could have been like if sony wasn't so focused on getting tons of cash... me 2 sounds like the movies a mess in its current state..
  20. I'd ask darnell what happened..
