I have been listening to their album “Chillin’ Like a Smut Villain” on Spotify lately. Love that early 90’s vibe. I wonder what ever happend to them? Did they release another album? Why weren’t they on any JJFP albums or on a Will Smith album?

Will Smith Takes on Fast & Loose Crime Boss Thriller from Deadpool 2 Director Will Smith will play a crime boss in a new action thriller from Deadpool 2 and Hobbs And Shaw director David Leitch. Will Smith has been attached to a new project that will see him playing a crime lord. The film, titled Fast & Loose, is a drama that has Deadpool 2 and Hobbs & Shaw director David Leitch attached to helm the project. According to Deadline, a fierce bidding war is currently taking place between all the major Hollywood studios to snap up the rights to the planned movie. The logline for the project can be read below. "After the leader of an upper-echelon criminal organization suffers memory loss from an attack, he reunites with his crew, only to find that things aren't what he thinks they are. When John Riley (Will Smith) wakes up in Tijuana after being left for dead with absolutely no memory, he follows a string of clues to uncover his identity discovering he's been living two different lives: one, as a super-successful crime kingpin, surrounded by beautiful women, expensive toys, and a lavish lifestyle and the other as an undercover CIA agent, but with a puny salary, no family or home life whatsoever, and zero trappings of success. The problem is, he can't remember which of these two personas is his true identity, and, more importantly, which life he really wants to live." While the premise of the movie can make for a grounded, serious drama, along the lines of The Bourne Identity or Memento, David Leitch is known for injecting loads of style and flourish into his movies, which include Atomic Blonde and John Wick. Leitch is also noted for being able to use the natural charisma of his leading actors to create memorable characters. So a team-up between him and Will Smith feels like a match made in heaven. While Smith made his name in the 90s playing heroic roles, lately he has been leaning more into gray or anti-hero portrayals, such as the drunk and depressed superhero Hancock, the supervillain Deadshot, or an assassin in Gemini Man. Still, even the evilest roles manage to somehow become sympathetic characters in Smith's hands, and that is probably going to happen in Fast and Loose as well. One thing that the movie will doubtless feature is amazing action scenes. Leitch has proven he knows how to create an action sequence that feels real, even when it is taking place between an immortal assassin like Deadpool and a cybernetic warrior from the future like Cable. Leitch's fondness for injecting humor into his stories should also find a great use for Smith's excellent comic timing. Before the actor jumps into Fast and Loose, however, Smith will be seen in his next star vehicle where he teams with filmmaker Antoine Fuqua in the runaway slave drama Emancipation that is being produced by Apple. The movie will scratch a particular itch for Smith since he turned down the leading role in Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained because the actor could not see eye-to-eye with Tarantino over the "vengeance" theme of the film. This comes from Deadline. source: https://movieweb.com/fast-and-loose-will-smith-director-david-leitch/?fbclid=IwAR3K95rr9CxXklmPejDrY5N8EqpP9opDg_pzhkUCfA1G7o97m80-ty9NK4A

I believe that the cultivation of personal and historical understanding is the imperative spark igniting the flames of desperately needed compassion and healing. As Americans, we endeavor to form a more perfect union that truly establishes justice and equality for all. I believe a deeper understanding of the 14th Amendment is a critical jumping off point. Our hope with this series is to illuminate the beauty that is the promise of America and to share a message of connection and shared humanity so that we will be able to better understand and celebrate our different experiences as Americans and promote progress toward the true equality promised to all persons under the 14th Amendment. I'm grateful to Netflix and the phenomenal group of people who came together both in front of and behind the camera to help us tell this story."

Executive produced and hosted by Oscar-nominated actor Will Smith and Emmy-winning writer Larry Wilmore,'Amend' is a powerful, multimedia journey through American history that encourages viewers to question what a "United States" really means. source: https://collider.com/amend-the-fight-for-america-trailer-will-smith-netflix/

Nice review of the "He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper" vinyl. https://www.musicmusingsandsuch.com/musicmusingsandsuch/2020/10/12/feature-vinyl-corner-dj-jazzy-jeff-amp-the-fresh-prince-hes-the-dj-im-the-rapper

Dope! Great find Ale!

New shirts or sweaters? I'm not getting my hopes up for new music.

Thanks for clearing things.

DJ Jazzy Jeff, The Fresh Prince and a Grammy boycott that set the tone for three more decades of rap — and culture https://theundefeated.com/features/dj-jazzy-jeff-the-fresh-prince-and-a-grammy-boycott-that-set-the-tone-for-three-more-decades-of-rap-and-culture/ ------------- It's an older article but it's still interesting. I knew about the boycott but it's always great to read more about it.

Great stuff! Fire as always!

Why do they hate each other? This is new to me.

I loved it! It was really emotional. Loved the James tribute and the conversation with Janet. The final week of filming was great to see.

Great trailer! Need to find a way to see it because HBO Max is not available in Belgium.

Great stuff! Hopefully this place will get some more visitors and more action. :-)

This looks amazing. And can’t believe the Janet Hubert took part in this. Looking forward to hear that conversation.

Great news. Hope JJFP will do some music during the show.

Probably my second favorite album. Code Red will always be my favorite JJFP album.

Yeah, I love ‘I’m All That’. Great intro to the album. I also like ‘You Saw My Blinker’.

What’s your favorite song on the album?
