People talk about the slump in Rap sales...that's cuz stuff like THIS isn't coming out anymore. And that goes for all of music. Good music is just so hard 2 find these days. It rarely gets on the radar.

The really bad thing is that i think alot of people were rooting 4 her....even people who aren't really fans of hers. We see the things she's gone thru' and the stupid decisions she's made and i think most people wanted this 2 be a comeback that killed all that old stuff. At least people are disappointed in her performing abilities and not her as a person, which is how it's been for 3 years now. Of course this uninspired performance could easily stem from her own attitude. Whoever waz quoted saying "the dance number was spectactular" waz obviously lying. It waz boring...even if Britney wazn't up there only half doing it. It waz pretty wack. If she waz mad the choreographer, i don't blame her. I heard other things on E! yesterday like she waz upset that Sarah Silverman said her babies were "cute mistakes" and stuff like that which upset her so much she didn't even wanna go on.

I watched it 2. The whole thing was akward. I heard on E! that she had this totally different performance planned with magic and illusions. However, at last minute they said that it wazn't going 2 work. So they brought in a choreographer who put 2gether the set that we saw. Apparently Britney wazn't happy with the change or the choreography. Since she wazn't singing, she had 2 dance...cuz that's the only way u can get away with ligsyncing (not that any the of dancing waz complicated enough 2 not sing while she waz doing it). The production of the song was pretty bad 2 (i heard a snippit of it a week or 2 ago). Britney's vocals are kinda limited...but i think a club mix of the song will be really good for pop standards. I also thought her outfit wazn't appropriate at all. Sure, she's gotten in good shape, but she'll never have the body she had back in the early 2000's. She should have used her keen fashion sense instead. She definitely blew it compared 2 her previous standards. The reaction of the audience waz pretty comical. I also heard some of the people's reaction and people from all music genres agreed it waz average at best but supported her none the less. If she doesn't bring it half baked anymore and gets her personal life right, she still has a chance. Her career up thru' 2004 waz huge.

That's hiliarious. I'll give Lil' Wayne one thing. He's incredibly consistant. He's just as untalented and just as ugly as he waz when he started. He truely is one of the worst 2 ever do it. What's even better is that most of these actually fit many rappers who get hits these days.

I like Chamillionaire. I doubt i'll ever call him one of the best emcees but when it comes 2 his commerical counter parts, he's light years ahead of the other guys. Not only does he bring more lyrics and more talent, he actually seems like a smart guy. I'll peep his album 2morrow and if it's good, i'll be sure 2 get it soon. The real release i'm getting 2morrow is the new Jagged Edge album. U can't go wrong with J.E. R-N-B has been consistantly keeping it's head above water commercially. And J.E. are the only ones who are pretty much a sureshot 2 bring a quality R-N-B album...until Usher's next one drops. I just hope it's a be more consistant then their last.

I love how Mary J. Blige called him 50 Cents at the awards 2nite. She jumps on alot of other peoples' songs. But it's clear she isn't schooled on the wack commerical crap such as 50...other wise his name would have been used in a singular version.

ICE CUBE - Friday In The Movies (2007) A random release...but an Ice Cube release none the less.

Good 2 see a new face...welcome!!

The video is alot of fun. I love it. The only problem that remains is that Peedi simply isn't good. Him on the spinning thrown is just as bad as K. Smith wearing the FP necklace.

THE ISLEY BROTHERS w/ 112 + LIL' KIM - Floatin' On Your Love ('Float On' Bad Boy Remix) Floatin' On You Love (CD Single) (1996)

Okay...i've ignored the whole K. Smith thing up until now. I've read the reviews and opinions but never checked him out 4 myself cuz i figured he'd annoy me. Well, i just watched a bunch of those videos. 2 me, he comes off as a misguided kid who seems like he's probably a nice kid but the whole expectation of what a rapper on a commercial level should be has warped his mind. He's definitely gotta get rid of The Fresh Prince chain. I guess FP gave it 2 him 4 good luck but by no means does K. Smith have any part in the JJ+FP legacy. I can see him hanging out with idiots like Young Burg and getting that classic old school chain snatched off his neck. The song "Betterman" isn't awful...but that's as nice as i can put it. Thank God he's not trying 2 come off hardcore and cussing, but his lyrics are weak as is his flow. I give him a C- on the vocal skillz and a C for the beat. Omarion is the only thing the song really has going for it. The video is unimaginative but good. Those interviews are what kills it. He sounds like a fool. How much time can he spend talking about "the ladies" and how many times can he say "it's crazy." His freestyles are about the worse i've EVER heard. The only way i'd even consider buying the album is FP's name is on it. What a disappointment.

Am i doing something wrong? I only get the header and the text on the left side of the screen. Now that i have high speed internet i don't know why it wouldn't be working 4 me.

That waz funny. Thanx!!

JJ+FP - Who Stole The DJ? Homebase (1991)

Ha, at least we can agree on that. I think that song with Fall Out Boy sucks. But i don't like Fall Out Boy so that didn't help much in the 1st place. But people are going 2 Timbaland 2 albums. Just ask Justin Timberlake + Nelly Furtado (2 of the biggest artists with 2 of the biggest albums of the past year). Aaliyah, Ginuwine, Missy, and LL Cool J have also benifited from his executive album producing. Omarion, Bobby Valentino, and Pussycat Dolls all had hits with him this past year. And the big names like Snoop Dogg, Nas, and Jay-Z have all gotten hits with Timbaland in the past. 2 me, Tim is in the in the longevity game alongside Jazzy, Premier, Jay-Dee, Jermaine Durpi.

I finally got his 1st album recently. When it comes the people who have got airplay in the last year, his probably is the one with the best album (compared 2 all the cookie cutter rappers and dirty south bandwagon rappers). I heard "Hip-Hop Police" awhile ago and thought it waz okay. I even got a mixtape with the track on it and didn't care about it 2 much. But i heard it just this week and like it a whole lot more. The production is respectable and lyrically is light years ahead of the stuff on the radio. Not 2 mention having the one and only Slick Rick on the track. I'm anxious 2 get this album...without waiting a year 2 do so.

Timbaland is an originator. Reguardless of people's opinions of his music, he's always been an originator. His sound has been imitated (but never duplicated) since the late 90's. He's stayed fresh over the years. How many producers can u think of who have kept doing their thing since 1996? Commerically Jermaine Dupri is the only one who comes 2 mind. More on the Hip-Hop side of things, DJ Premier, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Dr. Dre (tho' most of that time has been dryspells), and Pete Rock are the only others doing their thing. Just Blaze, Scott Storch, Swizz Beats, and The Neptunes are all "new school." They have staying power 2 prove or they have dryspells and inconsistant sounds and success. Timbaland has kept the music coming in the mainstream and under the radar. Hundreds of talents go 2 him and rely on him for hits. On top of that, his a positive person who isn't wrapped up in the idea of fame and success AND, in my opinion, his solo albums (other than Shock Value) are some of the best Hip-Hop records done in the past decade. Ain't nobody got anything on Timbaland. His longevity, staying power, talent, and originality are in a class all their own.

What a freakin' joke! None of them cats even deserved 2 be mentioned in the same sentence as FP. Black Thought is the only other emcee with undeniable skill. None of them other guys even said anything intellegent in a song 2 the best of my knowledge.

Sounds good. I can't wait. I think their sound and voices will sound really intersting. I could see this album doing well.

I don't see how Wyclef and T.I. mix...but i'm anxious about a new Wyclef album. I wonder what made him get back with Columbia.

Definitely not my kinda thing. I must say that if Timbaland + Justin Timberlake did 50's current single without him...i'd love the song. I just can't deny how perfect Timbaland's production is on nearly every track his produces. I guess i'll give Kanye's album a listen since he has done production that i've liked. More recently it seems like he lost his touch. Lyrically i don't think i like anything he says anymore...and his flow and voice are terrible. I'll give it an honest listen in a record store tho.'

Anyone feel like they are in middle school again when they read this? 50 is such a fool...ha ha. Who actually takes this guy seriously??

JON B. - Don't Talk (Lawless Hip-Hop Remix) Don't Talk (Import CD Single) (2001) I've wanted this single for years. Finally came across it!!
