I've watched little bits and pieces of it. I didn't care to see it that much. Jermaine Dupri and Timbaland were probably who I wanted 2 see the most and I haven't seen their parts yet. I saw 2 Live Crew's part. The whole dirty south theme was just stupid. From the parts I did see, they were more tolerable than I expected but still a waste of an honor show. I think VH-1 shot themselves in the foot this time and it's showing.

I've seen this. I like that they are getting the word out early. Just seeing him in the suit was nice.

I have a feeling there's a bit of a buzz going on in the Hip-Hop world that FP is coming back. I have no proof, but I noticed that Darren "Limitless" Henson dropped the 'Prince a line on his face book staying that he has some "heaters" for him...and Jaden and Willow. For those that don't know, Darren Henson was formally with A Touch of Jazz and was one of the producers of "So Fresh," "No More," and "The Rain." In my opinion, these are all in my personal top 10 or top 15 trax recorded during his "solo" career. The word must be getting out that he's coming back and it's good 2 hear that someone on the level of Darren is anxious to be a part of it. I can't say I'm too excited for any project from Jaden or Willow, but it sounds like music projects are starting to line up. This is getting good!!! :laugh:

Excellent interview. To me, Gang Starr was always a hard group to really get to know outside of their music. This interview just showed another side of them to me....which is dope.

The Space Jam soundtrack is easily in my top 5 favorite soundtracks of all time. It is, in a word, FLAWLESS. Here's my favorite basketball jam... BELL BIV DEVOE - Above The Rim Hootie Mack (1993)

I remember when I joined this forum years ago. I wasn't a fan of DJ Jazzy Jeff + Fresh Prince at all. I just joined so I could ask computer related ?uestions on the off topic board. :spam_smilie:

LL COOL J - Strictly Business Strictly Business Soundtrack (1991) I wanted this soundtrack back in 1991...and finally got it last week....lol. "New" music from LL Cool J, Heavy D + The Boyz, Jodeci, etc...

I've heard some of that Soul Intent. For years I thought Eminem's 1st stuff was recorded in the mid-90's...then I heard this early 90's stuff. He definitely fit in with the times...tho' the Jesus Christ Superstar sample was crazy. I think I found pop jam for the summer... KATY PERRY + SNOOP DOGG - California Girls (Whatever her upcoming album is) (2010) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqMf3W7Y2WI&feature=fvst

"Gangsta's Paradise," Bone's "1st of The Month" and MJ's "You Are Not Alone" were my favorite songs of that summer. And Janet's "All For You" era was flawless. It's probably my 2nd favorite album by her. My 1st would be janet. featuring my favorite song by her..."Again." G-WIZ - Dirty Luv (R&B Remix) Dirty Luv (Cassette Maxi-Single) (1995) G-Wiz has always been one of my favorite groups. Hardly anyone remembers them.

Man, I STILL haven't gotten that book. I know I will one day. And yes, I know he give FP his props.

Yeah, I'm with u on that. I like that each of LL's album are different and have their own vibe that separates them from each other. That means that each person is gonna have a different favorite. My Exit 13 comment is strongly based off of some of the beats being so commercial. I didn't feel they were an extension of LL...I felt they were radio-ready beats that LL blessed with his mic skills. I didn't feel that that the production was honest to what LL does. It's the 1st album he's done that I've every felt that way. Overall, lyrically I don't feel he slipped. I just remember that the lyrics and subject matter on Exit 13 didn't always sit as well with me as all of his other albums. I believe that if proper Hip-Hop producers got their hands on the vocal tracks, they could rework Exit 13 to be a lot better.

702 - Get It Together No Doubt (1996) Man, I miss R-N-B like this. Back when the production was often flawless, soulful, and the lyrics were assessable to everyone. Plus the videos were a bit artsy. R.I.P. to original and sometimes 702 member Orish (Irish's twin).

I already announced a couple months ago that he was working on a new album. I kept the faith even when he originally said he was retiring. I like that he's taking his time. I though Exit 13 was an okay album....but I also thought it was his worst. When I burned a copy for the car I probably only put a half of the trax on it at the most....then filled the rest of the 80 minutes up with recent singles and favorites. Why he may have been more aggressive on Exit 13, I think he took some steps backwards lyrically than the previous 3 albums.

I usually don't listen to each song on albums unless I'm really skeptical about liking them. I've listened to 3 or 4 tracks and I like them. I know I wouldn't like it as much as Infinite or The Slim Shady LP, but from what I heard so far, I might light it better than The Marshall Mathers LP. We'll see.

J-LIVE + DJ JAZZY JEFF - One To 31 Then What Happened? (2008)

Let's be real. When Hip-Hop heads are praising Eazy-E, we are recognizing that fact that is the godfather of hardcore Hip-Hop...which evolved to Gangsta Rap. He really planted roots for the west coast. Especially when it came go giving the west coast a sound that was original and different from the rest of the Hip-Hop coming from the east. Russell Simmons does deserve the title of the 1st record executive and entrepreneur of hip-hop, but Eazy-E was probably the second. And he didn't exactly takes Russell's formula to do it. He pioneered things his way. Eazy-E deserves props as a figure in Hip-Hop...however, as an emcee, he was never that impressive. R.I.P.

THE LUNIZ w/ SHOCK-G, HUMPTY HUMP, E-40, RICHIE RICH, SPICE-1, DRU DOWN - I Got 5 On It (Bay Ballas Remix) I Got 5 On It (CD Single) (1995) I didn't even know they made a music video 2 this until I was looking for a link 4 y'all 2 peep.

JAGGED EDGE - Walked Out of Heaven Hard (2003)

That video is ill. I love it. It's artsy and the visuals are amazing without being "hollywood." Em looks better than he ever has and he sounds better than he has in a long time. I haven't listened 2 "Not Afraid" in a couple weeks. I just love that song. My attention is hooked until it drops.

I saw someone tagged Jazzy in that pic on Facebook. Love it.

I like the promo pix for the album. The song titles have my interest sparked. The collabos go from interesting to bad. I still plan on giving it an honest listen.

Back in the day I never saw this commercial on TV but my cousin always talked about it. I remember he said that there was a DJ Jazzy Jeff Starter advertisement in one of the local athletic stores and he was going to try and get it for me but they trashed it. I was never into doing what everyone else was doing. Starter was the brand back in the day and I remember that their hoodies and hats were awesome. One of the few popular brands that had the quality to back up the hype.

Uhhhhh....

You mean he isn't?

Wow! I'll only give 2 or 3 of them a listen...and I'm not even that excited for those.
