Will Smith Plans Rap Comeback....
fan 4ever replied to FreshPrincess's topic in Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
HE'S THE DJ / I'M THE RAPPER! With all these people talking all this stuff about rap, its nice to hear about Will Smith coming back. Rumor has it Will Smith will get back with Jazzy Jeff for a world tour. They are also in the studio, supposedly recording new tracks. Will is apparently putting his movie career on hold for this project. That's a great look for my dude. source: allhiphop.com __________________________________ More rumors about the "new album" and "tour"! -
Gunman kills 30 on Virginia Tech campus By SUE LINDSEY, Associated Press Writer 2 minutes ago BLACKSBURG, Va. - A gunman opened fire in a Virginia Tech dorm and then, two hours later, in a classroom across campus Monday, killing at least 30 people in the deadliest shooting rampage in U.S. history, government officials told The Associated Press. The gunman was killed, bringing the death toll to 31. "Today the university was struck with a tragedy that we consider of monumental proportions," said Virginia Tech president Charles Steger. "The university is shocked and indeed horrified." It was not immediately clear whether the gunman was shot by police or took his own life. His name was not released, and investigators offered no motive for the attack. It was not known if the gunman was a student. The shootings spread panic and confusion on campus, with students complaining that the university did not warn them about the first burst of gunfire until more than two hours later. Witnesses reporting students jumping out the windows of a classroom building to escape the gunfire. SWAT team members with helmets, flak jackets and assault rifles swarmed over the campus. Students and faculty members carried out some of the wounded themselves, without waiting for ambulances to arrive. The massacre took place at opposite sides of the 2,600-acre campus, beginning at about 7:15 a.m. at West Ambler Johnston, a coed dormitory that houses 895 people, and continuing at least two hours later at Norris Hall, an engineering building about a half-mile away, authorities said. Police said they were still investigating the shooting at the dorm when they got word of gunfire at the classroom building. Some students bitterly questioned why the gunman was able to strike a second time, two hours after the bloodshed began. "What happened today this was ridiculous. And I don't know what happened or what was going through this guy's mind," student Jason Piatt told CNN. "But I'm pretty outraged and I'll say on the record I'm pretty outraged that someone died in a shooting in a dorm at 7 o'clock in the morning and the first e-mail about it — no mention of locking down campus, no mention of canceling classes — they just mention that they're investigating a shooting two hours later at 9:22." He added: "That's pretty ridiculous and meanwhile, while they're sending out that e-mail, 22 more people got killed." FBI spokesman Richard Kolko in Washington said there was no evidence to suggest it was a terrorist attack, "but all avenues will be explored." Up until Monday, the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history was in Killeen, Texas, in 1991, when George Hennard drove his pickup into a Luby's Cafeteria and shot 23 people to death, then himself. The massacre Monday took place almost eight years to the day after the Columbine High bloodbath near Littleton, Colo. On April 20, 1999, two teenagers killed 12 fellow students and a teacher before taking their own lives. Previously, the deadliest campus shooting in U.S. history was a rampage that took place in 1966 at the University of Texas at Austin, where Charles Whitman climbed the clock tower and opened fire with a rifle from the 28th-floor observation deck. He killed 16 people before he was shot to death by police. Founded in 1872, Virginia Tech is nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of southwestern Virginia, about 160 miles west of Richmond. With more than 25,000 full-time students, it has the state's largest full-time student population. The school is best known for its engineering school and its powerhouse Hokies football team. The rampage took place on a brisk spring day, with snow flurries swirling around the campus. The campus is centered around the Drill Field, a grassy field where military cadets — who now represent a fraction of the student body — once practiced. The dorm and the classroom building are on opposites sides of the Drill Field. A gasp could be heard at a campus news conference when Virginia Tech Police Chief W.R. Flinchum said at least 20 people had been killed. Previously, only one person was thought to have been killed. Investigators from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives began marking and recovering the large number of shell casings and will trace the weapon used, authorities said. A White House spokesman said President Bush was horrified by the rampage and offered his prayers to the victims and the people of Virginia. "The president believes that there is a right for people to bear arms, but that all laws must be followed," spokeswoman Dana Perino said After the shootings, all entrances to the campus were closed, and classes were canceled through Tuesday. The university set up a meeting place for families to reunite with their children. It also made counselors available and planned an assembly for Tuesday at the basketball arena. After the shooting began, students were told to stay inside away from the windows. Aimee Kanode, a freshman from Martinsville, said the shooting happened on the fourth floor of West Ambler Johnston dormitory, one floor above her room. Kanode's resident assistant knocked on her door about 8 a.m. to notify students to stay put. "They had us under lockdown," Kanode said. "They temporarily lifted the lockdown, the gunman shot again." "We're all locked in our dorms surfing the Internet trying to figure out what's going on," Kanode said. Maurice Hiller, 21, a mechanical engineering student from Richmond, saw police and SWAT team members with guns drawn going toward Norris Hall. "This is something just totally beyond anybody's expectations," he said. Police said there had been bomb threats on campus over the past two weeks by authorities but said they have not determined a link to the shootings. It was second time in less than a year that the campus was closed because of a shooting. Last August, the opening day of classes was canceled and the campus closed when an escaped jail inmate allegedly killed a hospital guard off campus and fled to the Tech area. A sheriff's deputy involved in the manhunt was killed on a trail just off campus. The accused gunman, William Morva, faces capital murder charges. Source: Yahoo.com

Welcome on board! -
I found this interview on xxl.com! He's talking about the Will Smith skit! Check it out! __________________________________________________________________ Return Of The Hustle In his return to the KING-MAG.com blogosphere, Datwon chops it up with the magnificent one, DJ Jazzy Jeff! Ok, hate me for not posting for the last few months (!), but a dude been switching speeds to get my foundation in my new Editorial Director position, having more kids (hey lil’ mama T) and getting my rest on. That five-year run as E.I.C. of KING took a toll on me, but I’m stronger for it. Will try my best to stay on a schedule with these posts. I have nothing but respect for y’all that do it on a daily basis. With so much to discuss like, Don Imus getting his rapper talk on (whoa), Barack Obama collecting money with his mouthpiece like a true pimp (25 mill) and the Knicks killing me softly, I’m going to set off this new run with a quick interview I did over email (JJ was in Europe- good looking Gamall) with one of my favorite Djs of all time, DJ Jazzy Jeff of Fresh Prince fame. I just got the album, rocked it and felt good about hip-hop again. If you are searching for some hotness to pump while cleaning your kicks, car or grillz get The Return Of The Magnificent and let the music play…if you don’t believe that it’s fire, listen to a couple of selections I’ve streamed here (but only a couple!) or do like me and head over to iTunes and check out some tracks. See ya in a few. DT: Why did you go with the road trip theme for the album? Jazzy Jeff: I felt it was the perfect setting for story…it allowed for all of the things that needed to happen. Do you feel that this album has a harder neo soul feel than the last project? No…not really…I never really think about stuff like that when I’m making music. When you finish beats do you know the artist that you would like on it right away? Sometimes…I felt CL [smooth] would be perfect on his song (“All I Know”). A lot of people just picked beats I had. Who comes up with the topic for the song? You or the artist? The artist mostly…I want them to be them, so I give the freedom for the artists to express themselves. Seems like you grabbed up some rappers (Method Man, Rhymefest, CL Smooth) that have had some hard knocks as of late in the hip-hop game, did you select them for this project for their skills as well as statements on present day hip-hop? These were some of my favorite people in the game…Just by coincidence a lot of them share in the same opinions of the business…A lot of people are not happy with the way things are…I just gave a platform for them to speak their peace. The Will Smith skit is hilarious, did you prep him for it before it was recorded? Cus it sounds kinda set up but then again it sounds like it could be real. Will and I have a natural chemistry that all I have to do is give him the scenario and just let it happen…That was all done with one take…I did have to edit out some of the laughter in the room…lol. The last album has a joint called “Know Ur Hood” that is a warning shot to cats that try to floss too much around the way, which song on this album would you say has that same type of concept feel? “Run that Back” talks about the hood and how it was coming up back in the day…”Come On” talks about how it is today. Glad to see you are still bringing out the turntable skills (“Brand New Funk 2K7 ft. Peedi Peedi”), how has all the new technology helped/hurt your cutting and scratching game? I think it has helped a lot with the introduction to digital audio like Serato…now dj’s can carry a lot more records to the gig and its easier on the back to carry…but you still have to have skillz…just because you have the records…don’t mean you know how to play them. What do we have to do to save the art of creative DJing? We must make people feel like they can’t live without the DJ…take people on musical journeys…make them feel like they need you otherwise you will show up to a club…and there will be a iPod in the DJ booth. Lastly, why do you feel that this is the best record that you’ve ever done? Because I have to…just like “The Magnificent” was…the next one will have to be also…That’s my motivation.
