September 13th, 1996. (on a friday) It should easy to remember.

Something solid, but I haven't liked Pac live because he screams. This might be different tho.

If you think that "New York" is banging, you should check out the "New York" with AZ, Raekwon, and Ghostface. Str8 dope. Thanks for this. btw, why is this at G-Unit world? Or is this kinda old?

I hope you never saw Stephen King's "Birds". I would've been freaked out just the same. But I've never left my window open like that. I would've screamed like you did, but crashed into stuff on my way out. If that bird doesn't find a new home, I expect you guys to go to war. You should tag it or something so you know whose your enemy. :lolsign:

The intro felt deep and real. The lyrics were on. You got off for a second at a point in the song. But you could barely notice it. I think you could've came at the mic harder as far as attitude is concerned. I heard that Talib influence for a second in "beautiful/musical line". The flow was very good.

AZ - AZ's Chillin' (A.W.O.L.) omg, such a classic usage by AZ. He really breaks it down.

Word man. On computer screen, it feels darn near impossible. That's why when I get in a house with space, I'm gonna try to get some turntables and a mixer, and go crazy. I was so mad when my brother sold his stuff.

AZ - Envious feat. Bounty Killer (A.W.O.L.) I'm not to fond of this track. It's tolerateable tho. The rest of the album is so so good. AZ's back up in it. btw, if your curious, get "The Come Up". Trust me. I think that's the best track right now for me.

Are Hip-Hop's Hardest SCARED? By illseed Let me find out that y’all are scared. The rap world is kind of scary these days. There are all sorts of animals running around the game – big Black thugs with big guns and huge entourages that beat people down. So fearsome! These thugs start wars and tear each other limb from Black limb and actually tend to obliterate all those that stand in their way. Let me find out that y’all are scared. It’s been high time that we looked at the current plaque covering Hip-Hop and call it what it is. While gangsters and gun-wielding rappers prevail in the music we listen to, it would appear that their sacs are lodged someplace up in their torso. And, here we are letting a stylish guy that dropped out of college represent the people of our culture. This isn’t another editorial praising Kanye West. However, on his Late Registration, he confronts a whole spectrum of issues ranging from governor Ronald Reagan’s alleged plot to destroy the Black Panthers to the “conflict” diamond mines in Africa to AIDS possibly being a human engineered epidemic. Now if you will, contrast the gangster displayed in West’s words and those that reign over rap, who is the “G,” g? Let me find out that y’all are scared. I smell something and it reeks of cowardice. It is not p***y, because women are by-and-large holding the fort down. This is directed directly to every gun-toting, super thug, hard-as-nails ass n***a that ever sold crack, got shot, grew up in the ghetto, had his mom slapped or his ancestors enslaved. For all the danger you avert in the hood, the shots your bodies take, the shots your guns expel and the Black punks that jump up only to get beat down – I think you maggots are scared. I recall a time when the “thugs” were the most outspoken people in the hood (think Ice-T, Ice Cube, Kool G Rap, KRS-One). These days, I recognize that Immortal Technique and David Banner are cut from a similar cloth, but they are a dying breed to say the least. I can’t hear you other mother f***ers! Speak up! Let me find out y’all are scared. "I feel like Kanye West is successful because of me. After 50 Cent, [Hip-Hop fans] was looking for something non-confrontational, and they went after first thing that came along. That was Kanye West, and his record took off." – 50 Cent, an interview with MTV. If there was ever a time for XXL magazine to give 50 Cent a Negro Please, it was now. As my idol Willie Dee of The Geto Boys would say, “Hold up, mutha f**ka.” For me, Kanye calling out George Bush and tackle the racism in media as it all pertained to Hurricane Katrina was more confrontational than all the 50 Cent beef records put together. To clarify, I am not dissing 50 Cent, because, honestly – I don’t want it. I’ve seen how he can vanquish a foe and I’m far easier to destroy than his smallest enemy. Nevertheless, I am anxious to see how these rappers can dispose of “beef” that actually affect something more than record sales. But, I digress; maybe there is truth in Curtis Jackson’s words. When he said “something non-confrontational,” maybe he meant “something of substance” or “something different.” Based on his velvety suits and fabulous ways, I’m quite sure NBC thought Kanye West was also non-confrontational or one of the “good ol’ safe Negroes” too. They certainly didn’t attempt to put any of the gangsta rappers on the tube and, I bet my next paycheck, that if those hardcore rappers were on that telethon, they would have read the script like the ol’ good boys they really are. Calling out the president is pretty scary, wouldn’t you say? Furthermore, it could really f**k up your money, playa! And, it is agreeable to most that the Bushes are more “G’d up” than every rapper on Earth. Halliburton, WHAT? So, let me find out y’all are scared. I admit - I’m scared. My name ain’t Bone Crusher, homey. I see what the world is becoming and fear for my future and that of my unborn kids. I indulge in some of the pleasures the music industry offers (like bootlegs and the occasional picure of Free), but I remain decidedly outside of the game. Why? I watch individuals become the very people that they once despised. I might hate myself now, but I’ll be damned that I become some other scumbag that I loathe. I’m scared and can’t even get motivated from those I should admire. MAN UP, I urge you heartless, hypermasculine soldiers of urban America, because I hate you so much right now like Kelis. What’s money when you don’t have a sac worth mentioning? Seriously, let your nuts hang, soldier – this is war and we need you to inspire the people. The people NEED Hip-Hop to deliver the truth, not only as we see it in the streets, but as we want it to be. Stop playing the rules that the game has laid out, color outside the lines and follow your soul – not your bank account. Illseed reporting for duty, sir! Illseed also serves as the AHH rumors guy. Right now, he is very scared, but you can still email him at ahhrumors@gmail.com.

Interesting for a number of reasons.

You made that sound like we're so usual. Well, your not from America so I guess it's because I'm used to it. But actually, I don't even see people here as "Americans". I just see people as people. What did these two Americans do? What to you say to him to change his mind? I know you brought up some good points. Probably went back to his crib to listen to some Big Willie.

I did not like the video. Will just doesn't look right.

Interesting interview. I had no idea he had got around that much in the music biz.

Faster singles from L+F would have gotten a faster notoriety.

They are honoring a little bit at a time. Those in the start of Hip Hop, the Golden Age, and Maxed Out (90s). Obviously, they'll do this every year. There are enough names to really stand out for quite a while.

30 seconds? Oh no, they ARE GOING TO SHOW US THE WHOLE VIDEO. That 30 seconds should have happened at that dang ol' MTV Awards pre-show thingy man. We didnt get that, so they owe us this.

You know, I saw them as the upfront artist for the day on myspace. They got them classified as rock. I just had a thought. Since these guys are "rock", were they at that 'Ozzfest' thing? If that's the case, maybe that's why they said it.

Perhaps that's just the perfect sign that says JJFP attracts folks young and old. "Kids and adults, and senior citizens too And I'd be willing to bet that it appeals to you too"

To be quite honest, I liked Volume One. Of course some of the poems weren't exactly as entertaining as the rest, but they are a good listen. If anything, I say just stick with "The Rose That Grew From Concrete" poetry book, and leave it at that. What's wrong with reading? Another thing that is a throw off is poems that have already been done on Vol.1.

Home skillet? Wow! We like, need someone to like get us like a new lingo of words, like for real. It's like so much freakin fun. (I believe that's Pasadena Girlie talk or something)

I thought the same thing.

Word up sonic. Homeboy. Even Houseboy. :lolsign: btw, does anybody really understand the meaning of homeslice? I used that a couple times and people looked at me like I was crazy. I swear Will used it. Somebody hiphop-ish. I prefer the word not to be used period, but its much of a no no towards caucasion persuasion

Just two days. I'm not too hyped about it, but I'll be on the look out for it.

The commentary and audio action of WWE's Raw on Spike TV

"K to the a to the n and o told us what we have to know Gave me the courage to stand up and rap a whole show" - that just came off with a real smooth flow Well, it's ok. Typical J-o-e style. I already pointed out a couple things to you on AIM. It's a decent song man.
