I think the album flopped because it wasn't very good. I've loved LL since 87, but he needs to get out of this R&B mode and come with it like Headsprung or G.O.A.T. One or two love songs are acceptable, but not more than half the album. LL should hook up with Dr. Dre.

I'm not saying that rap and rock do not work together, Run-DMC were doin it in 84. Kid Rock and the "rappers" of Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit may be good for the music that they do, but they do not have the skills of rappers like Will Smith, Suga Free, Eminem or E-40. You can put whatever label you want to put on the music, but the fact is those bands do not get played on BET, nor on radio stations that play Ice Cube, Xzibit and Too Short. And the Judgement Night sdtk was good because it had real MC's on it.

Rap/rock is a dying trend and the music world is better off without it. Call me old-fashioned or closed-minded, but the only good rap/rock band I've heard is Urban Dance Squad, who helped start it all and were ahead of their time. Rappers trying to rock: Usually good Rockers trying to rap: Usually bad

As often as I can.

Yea...haha that's what I thought, it could have been used back then.

Which version? 87 or 88?

Good to have another old school fan on board! :word: Almost 20 years for some of us. They should release 20 year anniv. versions of the albums with the original GANBT and a DVD. Same with "DJ...Rapper" and make it a 78 minute CD.

As far as I'm concerned, that's not a Fresh Prince picture, that's a Will Smith picture. There is a difference. And I think 2Pac is overhyped as well. Never really liked his music.

:word: My shirt from the "...DJ...Rapper" tour was a simple black with a teal JJ+FP logo. Nice and simple.

Too bad Will & Biz didn't hook up back in the JJFP days, that could have produced some funny results, like when Biz did a song with Humpty Hump: "Yo mom's so black, I looked at her, I thought I was asleep" :lol:

But why would they do that?!? It's got Marvel Comics super heros on it. If they were gonna lie about something like that, wouldn't they say it waz Stan Lee's jacket or something. Besides the Too Damn Hype Posse isn't exactly the most well known rap crew in the world. Nobody trusts anybody these days...ha ha. To get some poor sucker to cough up a mil. Then they'd be like: :gettinjiggywitit: Why would the TDH Posse have Marvel Comics on their jackets?

Hello fellow old school fan! How about "U Can't Touch This"?

Do we know it's even legit? Anyone can make a jacket and *claim* it's original and they were a dancer.

:lolsign:

Looks pretty unbelievable to me. I don't trust it.

If this is as simple as he says it is, we're all gonna look like idiots when the answer's revealed. :lol:

awwww yea...no school like the old school! :jazzy: :word:

Their first grammy was in 1988 for "Parents".

I disagree with you there, I've sold other rap tapes for $3-4 each, and I just sold two tapes of a punk band for $26. And I have the original cassettes of RTH and DJ...Rapper, those I def will keep!

...And In This Corner, Homebase, and Code Red. PLUS "Big Willie Style" CD. All four for 99 cents. All original releases. Cases, tapes and inserts are in good to near mint condition, CD is in near mint condition. http://cgi.ebay.com/Jazzy-Jeff-Fresh-Princ...1QQcmdZViewItem And before y'all jump on me for selling them, I don't listen to tapes anymore.

Only on that butchered CD version! :damnlorettas: The vinyl/cassette has 18.

:metoo: LL + a great DJ would give songs a good old school feel. JJLL man! :2thumbs:

Yea it is, I found it on the forum by searching "new kids" not with a z. Found a lot of b-sides I slept on too. :shakehead:

:rofl: I know that, unfortunately. I meant the song.

Forgive me for being out of touch here, but what is this song and where is it from? I never heard of it until I got on here.
