I THINK i saw this picture years ago and i'm pretty sure it waz in color. U can tell that it would look amazing in color.

Hmmmm...i've never worked in a place where that kinda thing went on. At least not in a way that i ever noticed. I'm not really sure what u are looking for so i'm just gonna throw some things out here incase they help. U already mentioned pay. How about job duties for the same position. Are there more or less delegated to certain races just because? Do other employees or bosses have someone talk 2 a customer just because they are the race? Are they kind of seperated from associates of another race as in circles of friends in the work place that are race-based? I don't know, that's all i can come up with at the moment.

AHMAD - Only If You Want It Only If You Want It (CD Promo Single) (1995)

Wow! This sucks!! Let's face it, at this rate, his new album is gonna be awful. Dare i say it...even worse than 50 Cent's. The beats are awful, the vocals are worse...and let's face it, Kanye has NEVER been known for lyrics.

I saw this on music shelves last week and really wanted 2 peep it out.

I give anyone props for stuff like this. Musically, i don't have alot of love for some of them becuz i i feel their music is weak and/or fake. I'd still give them props for actions like that. Beyonce also lives respectfully as a person tho.' I admire someone who dontates and works with organizations like that, but when they have battery charges, drug charges, gun charges and then put in charity work, u have 2 wonder if they are just trying 2 look good or make up for their personal actions. Have i ever dissed someone for getting involved in something good? No. I have for making phoney music that sucks (in my opinion). What's your deal. U and another member on this board like 2 take one post and toss in a reply to twist the topic up as if u are tryna get a rise out of somebody?!?

News like this never gets old 2 me. It seperates one kind of artist from another. ----------------------------------------------------------- Beyonce Donates $100K to Hurricane Relief Fund Posted Oct 15th 2008 2:30PM by Latifah Muhammad Filed under: R'n'B News Beyonce Knowles is more than just a triple threat (singer,actor, and dancer), she is also a philanthropist. The performer personally gave $100,000 to the Gulf Coast Ike Relief Fund. The donation will benefit those ravaged by Hurricane Ike in the Houston and eastern Texas area. At the request of Houston's Mayor Bill White, the relief fund was established to help victims of the hurricane that have lost their homes, property and jobs. The relief fund will also provide financial support to non-profit organizations that have aided in the immediate relief of Hurricane Ike victims by providing temporary shelter and food. A native of Houston, Beyonce is also organizing a fundraiser benefiting Hurricane Ike victims through the Survivor Foundation. Supported by the Knowles family, the Survivor Foundation assists citizens affected by disasters as well as children suffering from AIDS and homelessness. Aside from her charitable contributions, Beyonce will also be releasing her third solo album in November.

It's nice 2 see them get a reference. Is this new? The beat is bareable, Chris Brown's appearance is this worst vocal appearance ever. That other guy on the hook SUCKS something awful. Ludacris' lyrics are predictable but at least he's not tryna be hard and over cuss the song 2 death. Much better than your average track on the radio...but that's not sayin' much.

I remember when this aired on TV. It's AMAZING how Mariah Carey can sing the heck out of the simplest and most oversung song of all time. Both Ali and FP were funny. :lolsign: I have a recording of this somewhere.

The saddest thing is...we could.

Sorry man, i just thought u were trying 2 hard...forgive me. Why we are on that topic tho', who really cares how expensive a video looks. Sure, give me something big budget like "Wild Wild West" once in awhile, but i just want a video that represents the song and keeps my attention for about 4 minutes. I didn't see anything wrong with it. Is "So Fresh" wack just becuz they tried 2 do it on a 1988 budget?

It goes both ways. "I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson" followed a similar formula that their previous hits had (Girls Ain't Nothing But Trouble, Parents Just Don't Understand, Nightmare On My Street). So it was wise 2 hit us with something that worked perfectly before. At the same time, maybe it was time 2 expose people 2 something a bit different...especially since He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper was a HUGE album. Also, with hardcore Hip-Hop and political Hip-Hop causing a buzz, they probably should have come with something different 2 show their evolution. And In This Corner... was a new sound with new energy and some experimentation. But those who stopped listening 2 JJ+FP after "...Mike Tyson" never knew about the albums other layers. FP at least in the interview that there was something different on the album, not just "...Mike Tyson." This was that limbo time right after Hip-Hop's golden age and right before it peaked during the 90's. At the same time, Gangsta Rap waz having it's seeds planted thru' N.W.A.'s Hardcore Hip-Hop sound and political Hip-Hop was blowing up becuz of Public Enemy. All the emcees who kept things basic or went the party route started getting a bad name simply becuz M.C. Hammer was blowing up out of this world. Once u get big, people come at u. Since Hammer, JJ+FP, Young MC, etc weren't gonna cuss their way thru' a fight, they just had 2 deal with it. Fast forward 2 now....gosh, it's depressing.

THANK U!! Ahhh...back when Hip-Hop had a heartbeat.

I love this song. It's so much better than that other one someone posted a bit back. The beat is dope and Q-Tip is lyrically doin' his thing. I love the throwback feel 2 it also. It just has alot of heart 2 me. I'm gonna be honest, i don't remember a single Hip-Hop or Rap video from this year cuz i don't watch the crap on TV. This one has a feel good vibe. Silver Tiger, there is such a thing as overdoing the smart comments. Had the video looked really cheap, the sarcasm just may have been appropriate. Thanx 4 posting!

That's one of the only good doctored 2Pac songs released in the last 6 years or so. JOE - Good Girls Greatest Hits (2008) Man, this is taking me back!!

HaPPy B-DaY!!

Ahhh...thanx. Yeah, there some stuff there i'd love 2 get. I'm not a fan of buying cloths online...with shipping on top of already usually high prices. But we'll see. I've always wanted 2 find a shop like this tho.'

OH! Sorry, i guess i didn't read in2 that part. Yeah, some people here are gonna be interested in that!!

Funny stuff.

Maybe i'm looking at the wrong thing, but i don't see ANY Hip-Hop stuff on there. And i'm not a fan of the style of clothing that i did see on there.

Ha...this isn't new. It's 10 years old. :wiggle:

Yeah, but doing a movie for an Oscar is like making music for the money. Both ideas are wack. Do it for the art, do it for the love, do it for the people. I don't doubt the movie could be good. I'm just dying for some Fresh Prince right now. If he's not gonna be doing music right now, i want a movie that is gonna be him doing his thing. Hitch was like a grown up Fresh Prince. I Am Legend and Hancock was him doing roles (my 2 least favorite movies by him), Seven Pounds looks amazing 2 me...that will hold me over. But if he's gonna focus on movies, give me some Hip-Hop sprinkled comedy with lots of Fresh Princeisms.

...DON'T DOWNLOAD, GO OUT AND BUY THE RECORD

This is better than that last song he put out. I don't like it at all those. The beat is boring, his flow is uninspired. With all of Kanye's other albums, i didn't think i would get them, but then i did, then i stopped listening 2 them a week later (even tho' i liked them)...i highly doubt i'll be getting this one. He knows what good beats are. Why this crap? And it seems like his flow and delivery get worse with each album.

I agree. Playing real people regularly in movies is kinda weird. Especially after u did Ali...everything else just seems a step down.
