can someone explain to me why Switch was getting over 7000 spins a week.. and when party starter was released it got to 600 spins and then started going down? :woono: :worried:

I got a new party starter remix from jNite out of Miami..this is a completely original remix.. check it out Party Starter(jNite Remix) also you can check his wild wild west remix over here http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.c...&songID=1996209

I got no problem with it.. :sipread:

Yeah I think topdawg made some good points.. I dont think its that unreasonable for people to think race has something to do with the slowness to react to the situation.. many people are trying to find a reason as to the mishandling of the relief efforts.. and thats one option people are coming up with.. I don't know what the answer is myself.. I don't think anyone does at this point.. we'll have to wait for the facts to come out...

I dont think theres any point in voting for the video until TRL has premiered it :word:

opio & del - whats wrong with this picture

I have a bad feeling party starter aint even gonna get in the top 100 in billboard :damnyou:

Will has lost 25 spins the last few days..its going down..unbelievable.. and according to TRLs website party starter isnt premiering on there this week :therain:

I thought you had to vote between 4pm and 5pm for TRL? :paperbag:

awesome.. the quality of that file you recorded was really good Wes! :thumbsup:

say hi to goofy for me!

that was dope by chuck :word:

yeah that podcast would have been awesome.. me wes n maxfly did identify the problem.. that program I was using "Freerecorder" was garbage.. and was causing all the echos when u tried to record everything.. this skylook program is great tho..cause we had no echo.. and it recorded wes' voice and all of ours.. so we are all set for the next podcast recording! :thumbsup:

if one wack rapper disses another wack rapper... does anyone care?

I think a lot of parties are to blame.. It certainly was not handled appropriately. Watching the news the last 5 or 6 days.. the question everyone's been asking is "Why?" and there doesnt seem to be an answer.. If someone can explain to me why they wern't letting people leave, why people on highways were getting no food water or medical supplies.. please do.

ahhh!!!!!! the podcast curse has struck again :jada: :jada: :jada: :sick: the 40 minute podcast..which was good.. didnt record right.. :therain: I think i've finally figured out how to setup the program to record tho.. but so frustrating :worried:

every1 get on skype when u can

ok im here..ready 2 do the podcast...

ahh thanks for that didnt pick that one up :thumbsup:

boy u knock me out and he loves me were my favs from that album

Will expanded the platform.. brought rap to millions of people..made it commercially viable..he's the dj was one of the first rap albums 2 go double platinum.. will was the first rapper to go into acting..that was game changing.. how many rappers have done acting since? I dont think they actually changed the way rappers did anything because jazzy jeff and fresh prince were always out on their own doing there own thing..no1s ever followed in jjfps footsteps or sdone anythin like them music wise i dont think

it was "it went top 10" :stickpoke: but party starter is 10 X better than Switch :yeah:

I dont know but I saw the numbers "23" in the blocks.. michael jordan reference?

Whether you liked the party starter video or not, its great to finally have a good rap single from Will. Party Starter is one of the best tracks on Lost and Found and its great to have it as a single!! Wills last few singles have been Switch (Party/club/pop/rap - not much substance in the lyrics) 1000 kisses (pop/rnb) Black suits comin (less said about this the better) Freakin It (not a great track) Will2k(pop/rap) Wild Wild West (pop/rap) Miami(pop/rap) etc etc etc This time Will is bringin it with a high energy rap track .. but he's actually saying something in the lyrics..his 2nd and 3rd verses are great :word: :gettinjiggywitit: :gettinjiggywitit: :gettinjiggywitit:

Posted on Fri, Sep. 02, 2005 http://www.fortwayne.com/mld/newssentinel/...ts/12544940.htm A column by Pete DiPrimio He’s rappin’ and returnin’ Bennett writes rap songs and returns kicks BLOOMINGTON — Indiana’s Lance Bennett has a pen that won’t run dry, a mouth that won’t stop. There are rap mountains to climb and they are not scaled by writer’s block and silence. “I could always talk,” the junior receiver says. “I’ve always loved to write.” Bennett already has co-written two hit songs with actor-singer Will Smith — “Nod Ya Heads (Black Suits Comin’)” and “Switch.” He’s written another song, “Knock Knock,” about IU’s hoped-for football renaissance. School officials have put it to a football highlight video with Bennett singing. If the Hoosiers confuse themselves with, say, Michigan and go 9-2 this season, state retailers couldn’t stock enough copies. “If the marketing department wants to do something with it,” Bennett says, “we could get that done.” Bennett seems on the verge of a financial windfall, although nothing is sure but his right shoulder’s snarling wolf-lion tattoo. “I’m not in the situation where I don’t have to work again,” he says. “I’m trying to put myself in that situation in the next couple of years.” “Switch” came out this year and went platinum. More than 500,000 copies were sold in the United States, more worldwide, and the buying frenzy hasn’t stopped. Because of music contract procedures, Bennett won’t start seeing money for another nine months. “I can’t wait for the residuals to come in,” he says. Who says silence is golden? ♦♦♦ Bennett eyes football opportunity without regard for size. He is 5-6 and 165 pounds and he ranks just behind Ohio State sensation Ted Ginn as the Big Ten’s most dangerous kick returner. Last season, Bennett returned a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown and a punt 94 yards for a touchdown. He ranked fourth nationally with a 30.0-yard kickoff average, averaged 10.2 yards in punt returns and did it all with a bum knee. “Last season, I was running around on one leg,” he says. In a 10-month period, Bennett had surgeries on both knees to fix a pair of ruptured patella tendons. He’s recovered well enough to make the wide receiver rotation and avoid the returner-only label. “I’m an offensive player first,” he says. “I also return punts and kickoffs. I don’t want to put a stamp on myself. As long as I have the ball in my hands, I want to make something happen.” Sore knees limited Bennett’s preseason happenings, but he insists he’s ready for game impact. “I’m better than last season. I’m ready to make plays.” Coach Terry Hoeppner is ready to see them. “We’ve seen what he can do as a kick returner. He can bring that same excitement as a receiver.” Size, it seems, really doesn’t matter. ♦♦♦ Bennett started writing rap songs when he was 8. He performed for talent shows. He never shut up. “I always had a way with words, even if I had a slick mouth,” he says. “Rappin’ is just putting that to rhyme.” Bennett rhymed well enough to spark Will Smith’s interest after older brother Lennie’s chance meeting several years ago with a relative of Smith’s executive producer. Lennie wound up writing a song for Smith’s “Wild Wild West” CD and mentioned his rap-writing younger brother. At the time, Lance was a high school junior at Brooklyn Poly Prep in New York who wrote for the love of it. He still does. “I might go back to my room tonight and write. I like saying what people like hearing.” Expect IU fans to like hearing “Knock Knock.” It isn’t a love song, but it’s not gangsta rap, either. For example: “Knock, knock we at your door, baby. Crimson and cream, we ready for war, baby. Let us in when we in that town. For we huffin’, puffin’, blow the house down.” OK, so it’s not “Indiana-we’re-all-for-you” politically correct, which is why it makes some IU marketing people jittery. Still, Hoeppner likes it. He’s hip in a Father-Knows-50-Cent kind of way. He’s a Will Smith fan. He has Smith’s “Switch” CD in his SUV. “I’ve seen the video,” Hoeppner says. “It’s a great song.” If “Knock Knock” becomes a hit, Hoeppner wants some action. “It’s going to be a hit and I’m claiming 50 percent rights,” he says with his usual reach-for-the-stars optimism. “I’m the promoter.” Actually, he’s not, but since he controls Bennett’s playing time, nobody argues. Bennett drops names throughout the song, mostly teammates such as Kyle Killion, John Pannozzo, Yamar Washington and Chris Taylor. Hoeppner is mentioned, of course. Bennett is no fool. But that’s as far as it goes. “In the video, Coach Hep doesn’t sing and he doesn’t dance,” Bennett says. What if it becomes a hit? “There’s no chance of me singing,” Hoeppner says. This chance, it seems, belongs all to Bennett.
