  1. Well if Will has really found himself as a rapper..he needs to find his DJ! :pony:
  2. Well we now know the invitation is there from jeff 4 a jjfp album... if it doesnt happen we know its because of Will :chuks:
  3. I think thats some pretty damning statements from Jeff..and I think they are spot on!! RE the beats the last couple of albums vs JJFP stuff.. compare willennium to lost & found! I think if Will can't find 2 weeks to record with Jeff in his studio then he should abandon rap.. Here is finally an opportunity to take them back..and do some jazzy jeff and fresh prince..and whats will doin? Signing on to 6 movies :ohdear: :bat: and Jeffs spot on.. you cant just have 2 hours with Will and bang out a track..its not gonna be the quality of spending 2 weeks in a studio together.. we know the chemistry they have..they could easily bang out a 10-12 track album in that time...
  4. I think hes talking about getting in the studio with Will.. we need a proper translation..germans help us out!
  5. a very long interview in German here: http://www.weknowrap.com/journal/jazzy-jef...the-magnificent need the german members of this board to translate for us.. in particular whats below.. he seems to be talking about Will and jazzy jeff and fresh prince Thommeys translation Absolutely, but Will had his own plan though: He knew that his market value is going to be ummeasurable through his hollywood-movies, so he could dictate his own terms to Sony/Columbia. It really paid-off. The movie „Men In Black“ was a hit and the song was one of the greatest hits worldwide for a couple of months. Will sold 25 million records in the aftermath of Jive. He really showed them how to do it and I was happy for him. I would have worked with him further on, i’d have made beats for him and i’d have toured with him, but i wouldn’t have subscribed for a major. Will understood my point of view totally, we’re still chummy. Was Will on the list you were just talkin about? Oh yeah, absolutely! I phoned him and he was thrilled. Unfortunately he was really busy (of course ) so we keep trying to set up a date. I don’t want him for 1 or 2 hours in the studio – I want him for 1 or 2 weeks. I want to get back the good ol vibe which we had back then when we recorded „He’s The DJ, I’m The Rapper“. We wrote that album in 2 weeks in the basement of my mum. I recently moved and I got a huge studio in my own basement now. I want him to come by and try to create a atmosphere like we had at that time. Just Will and me, nobody else. I want us to pretend as it was 1986 again. Will’s problem in the last 10 years was definitely the beats. Mostly they were wack. But I think the problem primarily ist that Will is surrounded by apple-polishers. When we worked together I could say somethin like: That doesn’t work, the beat aint good, the line aint good, you know? Now there are ppl who think Will is the biggest guy on earth and so he doesnt get along with criticism – and the success proves him true. I’m not that type of person, ima musician. If i’m in the studio with Sting and he sings off-key i say: Let us do that again. Real artists respect that. That’s why Will agreed when i put my idea across. Even if we only wangle to get one good song, it’s okay – but maybe we’ll record a whole album… Konnte Will das verstehen? Absolut. Aber Will hatte eben seinen Plan: Er wusste, dass sein Marktwert durch seine Hollywood-Filme bald ins Unermessliche steigen würde, und daher konnte er Sony/Columbia seine Bedingungen diktieren. Es hat sich für ihn richtig ausgezahlt. Der Film „Men In Black“ wurde zum Hit, und der Song war für ein paar Monate der größte Song der Welt. Will hat 25 Millionen Platten verkauft – allein in der Zeit nach Jive. Damit hat er es ihnen richtig gezeigt, und ich konnte mich für ihn freuen. Ich hätte gern weiterhin mit Will gearbeitet – ich hätte Beats für ihn gemacht und wäre mit ihm auf Tour gefahren, aber eben nicht bei einem Major unterschrieben. Will verstand meinen Standpunkt vollkommen. Wir sind bis heute eng befreundet. Stand Will auch auf deiner Liste, von der du eben gesprochen hast? Oh ja, absolut! Ich habe ihn angerufen, und er war begeistert. Leider hat er natürlich sehr wenig Zeit, also versuchen wir momentan noch, einen Termin zu finden. Denn ich will ihn nicht für ein oder zwei Stunden im Studio – ich will ihn für ein oder zwei Wochen. Ich will die Stimmung zurückholen, in der wir damals „He’s The DJ, I’m The Rapper“ [ihr legendäres Doppelalbum von 1988, Anm. d. Verf.] aufgenommen haben. Das Album haben wir in zwei Wochen im Keller meiner Mutter geschrieben. Nun bin ich kürzlich umgezogen und habe jetzt ein großes Studio in meinem eigenen Keller. Ich wünsche mir, dass er für zwei Wochen zu mir kommt und mit mir versucht, eine ähnliche Atmosphäre wie damals zu kreieren. Nur Will und ich und niemand sonst. Ich will, dass wir so tun, als wäre noch mal 1986. Wills Problem in den letzten zehn Jahren waren ja eindeutig die Beats. Die waren nun mal meist scheiße. Da hast du recht. Aber ich denke, das liegt in erster Linie daran, dass Will heute von Ja-Sagern umgeben ist. Als wir zusammenarbeiteten, konnte ich ihm auch mal sagen: Das hier funktioniert nicht. Der Beat ist nicht gut. Die Line ist nicht gut. Verstehst du? Jetzt stehen da nur noch Leute, die das Gefühl haben, dass Will der größte Mensch der Welt ist und keine Kritik verträgt. Und der Erfolg gibt ihm dann auch noch recht. Ich bin ein anderer Typ, ich bin Musiker. Wenn ich mit Sting im Studio bin und der Kerl singt eine falsche Note, sage ich: Lass uns das noch mal machen. Echte Künstler respektieren das. Deshalb hat Will auch zugesagt, als ich ihm von meiner Idee erzählt habe. Wenn wir in den zwei Wochen nur einen einzigen guten Song hinbekommen, ist das okay – aber vielleicht nehmen wir ja auch ein ganzes Album auf…
  6. I'd agree with Teddy Riley..one of the best!
  7. intrinsically emotive and spoke with the sharpest of wit simply the dopest educator and entertainer he'd rarely fail ya stories of the past would help explain the farce the shroud the cloud hanging over this loud and rambunctious youngster twisted tongue that wowed see under all that exterior, was a broken interior a wall a fortress like eddie delirous felt inferior had to cover up the other stuff swept away and piled up the deepest of pain heavy rains had riled up a deep underbelly dampened spirits but he played it carefree you would never know, the way this man put on a show he barely showed his true soul, fold his deep holes there were very few who knew the depth of his pain and unrealized goals but when everyones laughin and enjoying the goodwill how would you suspect the suffering, intervention was futile and soon we'll see what he thought would make him feel free the actions that sustained a result of deep childhood pain it was a negative gain, that compounded and grounded all his fears the cover up shut everyone up, but the real hurt dug into his core for years and there's only so far he could go before he froze behind the smiles the laughter, the tension on his face the strain shows but nobody noticed those, his girlfriend he proposed suddenly a changing of fortune, spirits lifted for his rose forgetting the past, a toast they were jealous of the man, and his engagement party pose he had life in a stranghold but thats when he got entangled a sheer twist of fate, left him bruised and mangled see before the bride got married she wanted a break just some time off so she could realize whats at stake determine if the choice was right and true love was their fate the alter was in sight, so things were still looking great but thats when she met a new mate on a new date and it quickly turned the engagement broken off the girl he yearned for had simply burned his one and only path out of his bloody bath depression quickly stepped in crept in mouth aghast all the pain he'd swept to the side with no one to confide had broken him in two the greatest of divide the palms are sweaty as he grips the revolver his only problem solver like a damn bursting emotions simply flew in past memories had refused to use him now simply grown beyond his own distractions everyone loved this clown, but few could forecast his actions he brought joy to them all, but that was his greatest downfall the masquerade had played its final sharade its final call the sun rises on a new day, grab the paper check the news today the community was completely shocked, this town completely rocked the local hero found down by the rocks two men found shot dead weapon in the jesters hand bodies lay silently the mans uncle, the boys last stand

  13. You been there? I been here deep despair You seen? yeah! Serious damage need repair See where rare, plots thicken synopsis stick and build drops glistenin, and mist risen incisive incisions for derisive divisions, because you tripped on the listenin flipped out! you kidden, ripped! and insistin you wishin for good luck admittin, you're downfall is what you're riskin true friendship is whisked in, but stirred to a conistency thats missin real vision so your steel mission is wasted, just aint what you tasted you flaked a pastry faced it and faded cause you misplaced it thats trust build on understanding, reaching for common ground demanding two parties start the landing of planes of meditation chancing mental stimulation but you tardy and hardly stacking grace you lacking race fitness, and that can sting you like women packing mace tactics faze the laziest of plays, thought unravelled for all who got betrayed you came in and got sprayed, gazed in and wish you never stayed I never strayed whether grade A, saw opportunity and made hay now it's a new day, and how your viewed mate depends on choices of the new brigade, soon to stake a claim and invade, the consciousness and due to take the jewels of life, friendship buildin doin what right good deeds shine bright, helpful people in the spotlight the rest get left behind, invest and keep in time chime in stay on the grind, best stress test is the mind verbal stoushes just knocked down houses the foundations are layed in, from friends, mothers, spouses not the way you came in, looking for affirmation your depth stayed thin, and thats not how to build relations
