He's just a bit discouraged that the album didn't do 2 well do 2 the fact that the label formally known as Def Jam has been a wreck since Russell left. I love that he still plans on doing song and shows. I don't consider that a retirement at all. But i don't see this as his last fell length album. Commerical Rap is in an embarassing state and the Hip-Hop generation isn't happy that they've been replaced by people like Lil Wayne. Allow me 2 keep the same attitude towards LL's music as i do FP's...this isn't the end.

That was amazing. Hip-Hop at it's most basic. NEW LYRICS!!!! THANX!!!

I'm certainly not gonna listen 2 this on my computer...i gotta get this on CD for the car. It isn't clumping the mixtape with the other music on my computer. Any suggestions on how i can get it there so i can burn it?

DARYL HALL + JOHN OATES - I'll Be Around Our Kind of Soul (2004)

In the new XXL they said Detox isn't coming out. I'm not sure how much of that is a joke.

Thanx for posting...but am i the only person who thinks that it wasn't very professional or necessary 2 bring up old stuff like that?!

Yeah, i'm craving something new right about now.

Any news on the direction of the album? Is he leaning back towards real Hip-Hop and real lyrics...or just more gimmicks and commercial crap? The pic is definitely weird. I'm glad 2 see the blond hair gone tho'...that was so 1998..ha ha.

Ehhh....didn't really find this funny at all other than the "I don't know what this movie is about!!" and the random King Kong line.

Hey Y'all, I owe u an explanation. I want 2 try and keep things kinda vague as there are some really personal and really WRONG things that have been done around me and 2 me. Obviously, for me 2 not be around the board and 2 post some of the things i've put in the Prayer + Support Circle post, some stuff is up. Here's my story (a very short and vague version)... In December, i was prepping for 2009 2 be my best year ever. Not in an over the top kinda way. I was just sick of some of the stagnate lifestyle and procrastination that having a full time job and some setbacks in life had me living. I desided that even tho' i'm in decent shape and eat pretty good, it was time 2 take those areas 2 the next level (working out more often and eating even better). I desided that i would not let my fulltime job and exhaustion keep me from hardly making it 2 church. My money has been right for awhile and the timing was finally right 2 get my own house. I also wanted 2 get things either under control at work or change jobs. Lastly, after a bumpy but good relationship with a certain girl for 3 years, i wanted 2 finally make things official with her. I reached an incredible level of forgiveness and fell totally in love with her 2 the point that i didn't want 2 lose her...i want 2 marry her. I was on cloud 9. Y'all have no idea. Life was set. This was the year. It literally fell apart New Year's Evening. My top priority this year was the girl in my life. Afterall, i just said i wanted 2 marry her. She didn't get my text about New Year's Eve and made plan 2 hang out with other people. She did come 2 the party i was at for a lil' bit but it ended up with us fighting becuz she wouldn't spend the rest of the night with me. From there it all went downhill. I found out she was talking 2 a certain person from her past who used 2 be one of my best friends who she had no right talking 2...and shouldnt' have even wanted 2 talk 2. She started ignoring her health condition and started staying out late and started drinking often. She started surrounding herself with new and old people that for the most part shouldn't be in her life. She went back 2 having anger and attitude issues, started cussing up a storm and openly saying how she is totally okay with how selfish she is. She's lied 2 be about a few things and has totally seperated herself from me. She's verbally gone off on me on the phone for no reason for HOURS as i just sit there and take it. She's made zero time for me. We don't talk at all. On top of that, things have been rough at work. My job has been on the line due 2 some lackluster numbers and certain projects i've struggled 2 get behind. The shock of the issue with this girl has kept me VERY unmotivated at work. I was so upset for awhile that i couldn't eat, sleep, or keep myself composed. That destoryed eating better and working out. I have managed 2 get in2 church every weekend which is awesome but looking for a house hasn't really happened due 2 work at lack of motivation. 2 months later...here i am. My days are filled with me waking up very early all the time. I usually watch about 2 hours worth of spiritual stuff and pastors on TV each day. 80% of the music i listen 2 is Gospel and Christian. I read alot of stuff. I spend nearly all of my day in a continuous prayer. Sometimes i need 2 take a Tylonol PM just so i can sleep better at night. I usually fall asleep on the sofa downstairs watching TV so my mind isn't on stuff. But from there, when i wake up 2 sleep in my bed, it's 50/50. Sometimes i go 2 sleep, sometimes i don't. When i do wake up, usually the pain of reality hits me so hard that unless i'm exhausted, i can't sleep. I have been working out which feels good and shows. I've been eating better but not healthier than what i already eat. I've lost so much weight that i'm at 135...but now it feels good and looks right. A few week ago i looked like i waz gonna die. I have made some headway at work. My job seems more secure tho' i still have a ways 2 go and i have 2 figure out if it's the place that i should be or if i need 2 look at other things. I'm gonna start house shopping soon. I don't really have any idea of what i'm doing but i'll be okay. The thing that sucks that i planned on having this girl in my life and wanted her help and 2 get her opinion on the place since she could be living there one day. I do have faith that she will come around, even tho' things look hopeless in the natual. I just hope that she doesn't make any big mistakes or extreem decisions in the meantime. She's not ready for a relationship but she's been hanging out with some guy who doesn't impress me much at all. Her behavior disgusts me. As long as i feel it in my heart 2 hold on, i will. If i feel i need 2 let go, i will. I know that God puts promises in our hearts for a reason and that He says He will bring us our heart's desire. I know that he's a God of suddenlies who can turn situations around in the blink of an eye. I know that nothing is 2 hard for him and that when there seems 2 be no way, He can make a way. All things are possible in Christ. I know He can change us and change our hearts, allow or even provide circumstances 2 change us. Miracles are possible. I appriciate everyones' prayer. The truth is, as a man, i feel better, stronger, and cleaner than EVER. It's just that the pain and uncertainty have gripped my life 2 an all time low. I will be back y'all. It's just that right now with the way life is, my priorities are shifted. I miss being here. I miss alot of things. Better dayz are on the way.

Why do i remember this performance by not FP hosting it?!?!?!? Classic 90's R-N-B jam...i know what i'll be listening 2 when i go 2 sleep 2nite.

Ugh, i love Tyrese's music. I was down with him since that Coca-Cola commerical. I like a few of his movies (Baby Boy, Waist Deep, Transformers) but he shouldn't totally stop music. He should at least drop an album if he's gonna focus on movies for 3 years straight. I support his goals, but just don't abandon the music. At least he's taking advice from FP tho' and not just doing it on his own.

I just wanted everyone 2 know that i'm still around. Life is just tough, every day, every second. Some prayers have been answers, some good things have happened. Unfortunately they are small compared 2 the deliverence that i'm hoping for which doesn't look possible in the natural. I just pray that things turn around and I'm hoping those of u with faith continue 2 do the same. Thanx.

This is dope. It reminds me of a mix of mid 90's and late 90's Hip-Hop...the video and even the song. Bow Wow goes back and forth between dope and wack like nobody else.

It's amazing how things can go from bad to worse to even worse. At this point I'm so numb that i barely feel anything. The only thing that feels okay is that i didn't do anything to bring on this rain. Thanx for the continued prayers. At this point i don't even know what i want...other than prayer on the matter.

There's always music... :shrug:

Mine's really blurry but I have one with him.

Most of you will notice i've haven't been on the board lately. I've been dealing with some stuff that is just rocking my world in the worst way. I don't wanna get in2 it. But for 2 weeks i haven't been able to sleep or eat hardly. I pace around tensed up like i'm a drug addict who is quiting cold turkey. Those of you who who are willing to back me through this time. Please pray that God would step in and change what only He can change. Reguardless of the outcome, I need a peace of mind thru' this time. This may be my darkest hour ever. Thanx in advance.

DMX Adopts Pink Prison Wardrobe Posted Fri Jan 16, 2009 4:05pm PST by Billy Johnson, Jr. in Hip-Hop Media Training Looks like Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio has come up with the cure for DMX's addiction to jail. The hip-hop star and repeat offender, like all of Arpaio's other inmates in the Maricopa county jail, must wear pink t-shirts, underwear and socks. The girlie wardrobe colors caught DMX by surprise. "This is ridiculous, this is disrespectful," DMX said with a sarcastic laugh during an interview with My Fox Phoenix. "Why the pink?" Arpaio told Fox & Friends he has had the pink policy in place for 10 years with success. He said the inmates were stealing the white underwear so he dyed them pink. According to Arpaio, DMX is serving time for charges of animal cruelty, drugs and fraud. Arpaio did not express any sympathy for the hardcore rapper, adding, that jail was not supposed to be fun. DMX misses the good ole days. "This is not where I want to be man," DMX said. "It used to be, I'll go there, I'll be the life of the party, and ... it's nothing." Requiring male prisoners to wear pink undergarments is emasculating, but listening to DMX talk about going to jail as if it is a hangout spot is not fine either. Maybe Cam'ron can give X a pep talk. Cam'ron and other Harlem MCs have always been fine with the springtime pastel color.

No way! This sounds like REAL Hip-Hop. Bad Boy only jacked beats back then.

:gettinjiggywitit:

When i looked at the tracklisting I wanted 2 hear this cuz of Faith...but i think this SUCKS. I've never liked Jadakiss. His voice is just terrible and he's never had lyrics 2 compensate for that. The beat isn't good either. The guitar riff is annoying. I like that it has a slight 90's feel to it but that's it. Faith only has the last minute of the song which sucks. She doesn't feel in her zone at all compared to the rest of her music. I would never expect much from Jadakiss but this track is a big DISAPPOINTMENT.

Ahh...Mariah needs 2 get back 2 real music. Her last album was okay but it was also her weakest. I liked "Touch My Body" but The-Dream is the most boring artist and producer ever.

I did not. I did drag my mouse over it to see if it lit up as a link...then i shook my head and laughed.

I love how a post from 2005 can be dug up for a 1st time poster who has a link 2 Adult Dating in their signature.
