He's been saying for years that he plans on living there 4 a year or 2. I wouldn't be surprised if he does. Besides, i think he'd find the inspiration there 4 a new album.

ROBIN THICKE - When I Get You Alone (Radio Edit) When I Get You Alone CD Single (2002)

*People who call in2 work *People who complain about life non-stop when they should really shut up and deal with it (when that's what u gotta do) or change it *People who drag race thinkin' it's cool but actually look really stupid *People who drive around with their music way 2 loud *People who pop their collar *Punkish "artsy" rock guys how grease their hair and mess it up really bad by making most of it spike up so their head looks way 2 verticle

During the 1st episode he disses Vanilla Ice. He's talking 2 the so-called rappers and says that if they do something (i forget what) their career would be over like Vanilla Ice's. What actually funny is that on the new show featuring Surreal Life cast members in a contest, Vanilla Ice had the most fans. I have the "Pop Goes The Weasel" single...man, that video is hilarious.

I caught this on TV about a month ago....HILARIOUS!! I think somebody posted this already...but i know i can't get enough of it.

I picked up LL Cool J's new book The Platinum Workout. Beyond the fact that i thought it'd be a good read simply cuz he's one of my favorite emcees, i do wanna get myself back in shape. Good conditioned shape at that. I've only read the first few chapters (and only started the earliest nutrition phase of the book as i've been reading ahead), but i urge anyone interested in getting in shape 2 read it. I know there is the saying "love the message, not the messenger" but i can't deny that one of the main motivations 2 me is that this is LL's book. After all, even if u know nothing about Hip-Hop, who wouldn't look at LL and not see him as in excellent shape? The only thing that i don't like about the book is that there isn't an accompanying DVD 2 extra motivate and futher explain the book. Who knows, maybe if the book does well, one will be on the way. The book is crammed with good tips (some which i already know) along with a laidback approach 2 the whole idea of getting in2 shape.

Ha ha...yeah, i'll probably catch most of the episodes. Maybe not when they 1st air...but i'll probably catch them just 2 see MC Serch do his thing.

Let me 1st say the only real reason i watched this show is cuz i love MC Serch. He's hilarous and a overlooked Hip-Hop legend. When i saw the commercials 4 the show, i rolled my eyes until i saw MC Serch waz involved. Anyways, i've seen most of the 1st episode. Half of these kids are white trash idiots who are trying 2 be the stereotype of black. The other half got their own style which in some cases is a good thing and in some cases a bad thing. I definitly have a problem with the one girl runnin' at the mouth and dropping the N-word left and right. I think it waz cool that MC Serch later confronted her and said that that work doesn't flow and made her wear a rediculously big and heavy chain with "N-Word" on it...ha ha. I waz wondering if anyone saw the show and what they think of it. It just aired 4 the 1st time last nite so VH-1 will be rerunning a few times i'm sure.

Man, i should have listed that song in the pet peevs post BLACK EYED PEAS - Pump It Monkey Business (2005)

*People who talk way 2 loud (they usually also talk really ignorant if they talk loud) *Country music *Cussing *People who chew with their mouth open *Ear pieces for cellphones *People who talk on their cellphones for semi-long periods of time *The fact that i have 2 Log In every single time i visit the board...but usually don't *People who make excuses *People who don't take care of their kids *People who pretend 2 be something they aren't *Liars *Sweet pretty girls who date ugly loser guys *People who don't shower *Prejudice *War

Dope pic!! Love it...thanx 4 posting that!

MARKY MARK - Don't Sleep The Big Hit Soundtrack (1998) I don't care if i'm the only one on this ...but Marky...please come back 2 the street side of things...ha ha

The whole commercial side of Rap and R-N-B is pathetic. It's embarassing. It's fake and it's uninspiring. While i think Wu-Tang is good (tho' i've never bought an album), this is the 1st time around i really started 2 care what Ghostface has 2 say. Maybe it's cuz he's getting better...but i think it's cuz everything sucks so bad. Nobody really cares about Styles P...maybe longtime fans. I don't dislike Fat Joe, but his new single sucks. All that dirty south stuff sucks. The young fans are out there eating it up, but they don't buy that many albums. Hip-Hop heads would buy the albums, but they are older and less connected 2 the music that isn't getting any airplay. The commerical side of music has just gotten unbarable. Just now i took a long shower and had 2 turn the radio 2 an oldies station cuz the local Hip-Hop/R-N-B station played 3 crappy songs in a row with no hope of a good one coming on. Even R-N-B is getting watered down. I dont' understand why radio and video overlook established artists who have already had success in the past 2 give shine 2 this untalented new losers. It's no mistery 2 me. 10 years ago i said that the commerical side of things were dying. For a second it got good but it quickly got worse than b4...and here we are.

I found this article on AOL...who knows, maybe the world does have a chance?! ------- Two New York Men Save Falling Toddler NEW YORK (Jan. 5) - Two passers-by rescued a toddler who fell four stories, scrambling to catch him as he tumbled from a fire escape, police said. Julio Gonzalez, 43, and Pedro Nevarez, 40, saw 3-year-old Timothy Addo dangling from a Bronx building on Thursday, police said. The boy had crawled out of a window when his baby sitter briefly took her eyes off of him, police said. "He was hanging on for dear life," Gonzalez said. Hearing people in the building scream for help as the boy's grip weakened, the men rushed over to position themselves under the fire escape to catch him. "No one came," Nevarez said. "We knew it was up to us." The boy tumbled and hit Nevarez in the chest so hard he knocked him off balance, but he bounced into Gonzalez' arms. Timothy was treated at the hospital for a cut on his forehead. "He's fine. He's happy. He's smiling," said his mother, 26-year-old Katrina Cosme, who was working at the time of the accident. Police talked to the baby sitter, and an investigation was continuing Friday, Detective John Sweeney said. The crucial catch came two days after a bystander threw himself onto a Manhattan subway track to save a man who had fallen, and a day after three police officers delivered a baby on a Brooklyn subway platform. "This is the week of heroes in New York," Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.

When i read this, it was a breath of fresh air 2 see that in 2007, there are still people in this world with a selfless attitude and actually care about other people. Props 2 this guy... -------------------------- Commuter Saves Man on Subway Tracks By DEEPTI HAJELA NEW YORK (Jan. 3) - Trying to rescue a teenager from a subway track as a train roared in, Wesley Autrey faced a harrowing choice: Try to pull the young man to the platform, or push him down and hope to find a safe harbor between the rails. "I tried to pull him up, but I had to make a split decision whether or not to struggle and maybe end up getting us both killed," Autrey said later. "So I just chose to dive on top of him and pin him down." It worked. The train passed over them, saving the 19-year-old who had fallen, police said. A relative identified him as Cameron Hollopeter, a student at the New York Film Academy. Hollopeter's stepmother, Rachel Hollopeter, said Autrey was "an angel." "He was so heroic," she said early Wednesday in a telephone interview. "If he wasn't there, this would be a whole different call." The teenager had a medical problem Tuesday and tumbled onto the tracks at a station in northern Manhattan, police said. Autrey, waiting with his two young daughters, jumped down and rolled with the young man into the trough between the rails as a southbound train came into the station. The drainage trough is typically about 12 inches deep but can be as shallow as 8 or as deep as 24, a New York City Transit spokesman said. The train's operator put the emergency brakes on. Before the train stopped, two cars passed over the men - with about 2 inches to spare, Autrey said. Neither man was hit, police said. Authorities said the rescued man was in stable condition later Tuesday at a local hospital. Autrey, 50, declined medical attention. Onlookers cheered him, hugged him and called him a hero. "I don't feel like I did something spectacular; I just saw someone who needed help," he told The New York Times. "I did what I felt was right."

I'd love 2 see MIIIB happen. The 2nd one had some weak moments but it waz still a good sequel. I think this time around they would take it 2 a higher level...especially since most sequels these days are actually good...if not better than sequels of the 80's and 90's.

The movie Roll Bounce came out in 2005. I wanted 2 see it but never did. It's a movie that takes place in the late 70's and follows a group of young guys who live for roller skating. I don't really wanna dip in2 the story much, but there's a lil' bit of everything in it...comedy, a love story, family issues, some emotional stuff and drama. The entire movie is loaded with classic 70's music and even if u didn't grow up in the 70's in America, i think most people will love this movie. Bow Wow is actually the lead character and i know that will turn some people off 2 the idea of seeing. But trust me, the movie is great. And Bow Wow actually has acting skillz. See it 2 believe it. Nick Cannon also has a smaller funny part (check the deleted scenes for alot more of him). Charlie Murphy and Mike Epps also have hilarious cameos at garbage men. Oh and Megan Good is in it. And anything that Megan Good is in is worth getting just cuz she may be the most gorgous female EVER. While i wanted 2 see the movie in theaters and didn't get 2, i bought it cuz Wal-Mart had a DVD+Soundtrack deal at a crazy price...and knowing how good the music waz, i had 2 get it. That waz months ago and i just now saw it. I just gotta put it out there...SEE THIS MOVIE!!!

Gangsta Rap definitly isn't the most welcome music on this board. But i think a few people on this board are like me, and while they will take real Hip-Hop over any other kind of Hip-Hop or Rap, they have a place in their heart that likes the west coast hardcore Hip-Hop and Gangsta Rap scene...well, at least some of it. I remember being in my early teens listening 2 Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg ALOT. At one point i listened 2 them almost as much as i listened 2 Code Red, Nuttin' But Love, Ain't No Other, 14 Shots To The Dome, and Black Reign. The over-the-top gangsta fantasys and explict lyrics killed it 4 me over time...and the fact that every other rapper tried 2 do the same thing shortly after. Then 2Pac, a legit and complicated emcee joined the Deathrow scene and started releasing stuff on the label alongside all the underdogs who put in work on The Chonic and Doggystyle. Dr. Dre, the real brains and talent behind Deathrow left, Snoop maintained but wanted 2 leave, other artists like Rage and Nate Dogg were busy getting bumped back and jerked around and 2Pac, who only joined the label 2 get outta jail and waz soon sick of getting gifts that weren't actually his and who also wanted 2 leave got murdered...probably with strong-arm, no talent-but slick business man and owner Suge Knight behind the murder. Deathrow crumbled and fell. Their artists sucked, their producers sucked and the ONLY thing that kept ANY money coming in where the unreleased 2Pac trax they had ownership of. Years later, i look back on some of that Dre, Snoop, 2Pac, Dogg Pound stuff and it defintily holds a place in my heart. So when i heard that Deathrow waz dropping the 2 CD 1 DVD box set called "15 Years On Deathrow"...i knew i had 2 get it. It's loaded with classic singles, a few lesser known album trax, and a few rarities. Anyone who's a fan of this era of music should check it out. They included the alternate (clean) version of 2Pac's "How Do U Want It" and "To Live & Die In L.A." It also includes the mega-rare Regulate B-side import only 2Pac trax "Loyal To The Game" and "Pain." One thing that really freaked me out is that they have Snoop's "G'z Up, Ho's Down." My best friend back in the day got Doggystyle on cassette and it had this track. It waz my favorite track on the album...however, when i finally went 2 get Doggystyle, the trax wazn't on it. I looked for it for YEARS....and they put it on this compilation. US fans should pick this up at Best Buy which has 6 bonus trax. However, my 1st disc doesn't include the bonus trax...so i gotta take it back in hopes of getting the correct disc. The DVD contains 24 music videos. This is probably the 1st good things Deathrow has released since The 7 Day Theory.

DJ JAZZY JEFF - (some jazzy joint with a sax in it) Life At Tuesday Club Sheffield (2005)

I waz outta town 2day and driving back home (from PA back 2 MD) and i had my favorite radio station on (93.9 WKYS) and i waz totally zoned out. My mind waz on autopiolet and the radio waz kinda turned down. I waz nodding my head 2 what waz on the radio and snapped outta my daze. "My Buddy" waz playing. I instantly woke up and got live. I don't think i would have been anymore excited if my own joint waz getting real airplay. I waz so hyped i almost gave Kel a call...ha ha. For real, Kel Spence if FINALLY blowing up. Good music is fighting it's way 2 the forfront 1 artist at a time.

Y'all gotta find the DJ Jazzy Jeff "Live At Tuesday Club Sheffield" 2-CD bootleg. It waz recorded in 2005 and Mad Skillz hosts it. I have a few of Jazzy's sets and this just may be the best one ever. It mashes up old school Hip-Hop, classic R-N-B and current stuff as well. I've only heard the first 20 minutes so far and he's got people like The Emotions, Sugarhill Gang, Eric B. + Rakim, DJ EZ Rock + Rob Base, Justin Timberlake, Soul II Soul, and more. And of course u got the classic Jazzy Jeff cuts thru' out the mix. Even the songs i don't know are dope. And the sound quality is perfect. I've never heard a bootleg sound this good. Do yourself a favor and track down the guy selling this on ebay!! Again, this might be Jazzy's best bootlegged set!!

OMARION - Ice Box 21 (2006) I like this album...but he's 1st album waz more solid. Brakes might be the only other person that cares...ha ha.

Ugh...2006. *Got the position at my job that i wanted *Watched the gyrl that waz always on my mind slip away *Watched myself get 2 do less and less of my favorite things...writing, rapping, and theater *Allowed one of my close friends constantly fight with me and bring out the worst in me *Had my car break down *Watched me job and crappy co-workers take over my life, take away my personal life and make me start hating the job i loved *Lost so much of my personal life that i missed alot of friends, fun, theater, and haven't had tyme 2 shop 4 a new car or even keep my house clean *Maintained at work, liquidated my staff, came out with moderate success thru' the crap, started rebuilding and likeing me job again (which waz 2day) *Paid off the debt that's been hanging over my head for 5 or 6 years. *Gained a new focus on life, priorities, goals, and where 2007 is taking me...2 a better place than the last 3 years

This album waz advertised 2 drop 2 weeks ago. I went out 2 get it at the sale price and couldnt find it. I didn't know that it actually came out, i thought it got bumped back. Now i gotta go out looking 4 it again. Mos Def is the truth.

Yeah, them. :iagree:
