USHER - Think of You (self-titled) (1994)

True artists don't care about money or sales. They care about their art. That's why people so many old school artists are still releasing music...YEARS after their career is commercially over. They do it cuz they love it. Someone like Puffy or 50 Cent is not an artist. They don't make relevant music...they just care about fame and sales.

Thanx 4 posting this. I'll have 2 read it later tho.' I don't think i saw the work he did with FP on there tho.' He remixed both "Men In Black" and "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It."

PRINCE - Trust Batman Soundtrack (1989)

HAPPY B-DAY!!

Money Train - Soundtrack (1995)

I don't like T.I. at all. I like OutKast, but i think they are overrated considering how they started off. I guess when it comes 2 the commerical stuff, they are the best that there is. I've always backed Speech and Arrested Development for that 'southern fried funk.'

NAUGHTY BY NATURE - Everything's Gonna Be Alright (self-titled) (1991) Naughty is simply one of the best groups ever. I'm vibin' with Nature's Finest (1999) at the moment.

Reggaetone won't get much bigger than what is already is. Those "reggaetone" artists don't really have talent, lyrics, or real beats behind them. I love Reggae and Dancehall...but Reggaetone is awful.

I'm just saying that during that 98ish-2000ish era, he waz coming out with alot of flashy type stuff that made me long 4 his early stuff. He got over it 4 the most part. Long time vets on this board will remember me dissing him alot back in that 99ish area.

Unless the fellaz are playing out a gimmick, this is something their fans need 2 worry about. Entertainment Weekly isn't a rumor/lie filled magazine. Infact, the interview/photo shoot waz done 4 their magazine. So all of this is fact.

Over the years, i've followed OutKast less and less. But i still think their style is cool and something that Hip-Hop needs. I don't know if the article is online anywhere, but there is a good article on them in the most recent Entertainment Weelky (with the X-Men cover). Here's just a few bits from it... "They were hip-hop superstars and best friends. THen something changed, and soon, they could be history." The article goes on to say how Dre showed up 2 the interview and photo shoot early and an hour later, Big Boi showed up with tons of cloths. Shortly after the interview/photoshoot, Dre hopped in his car and left. It talks about their new movie and album. Big Boi and Dre only have 3 scenes 2gether in the whole movie and they don't really have any songs 2gether on the album. The movie and album were shoot and recorded mostly during the summer and fall of 2004. In fact, the 2 worked on the album in their own studios...NOT 2GETHER. Here's what Dre said about "The Mighty O"..."Honestly, i was really skeptical about the song," he says. "I like what i'm saying in the rap, but it didn't sound up to par." Then why put it out? "Because we needed a song with both of us on it. And people haven't heard me rap in awhile,k so i thought it woudl be nostalgic for them Everybody loved it , so i said "'F**k it,' and just let it go." Apparently Big Boi's trax are true 2 the OutKast style...but Dre's stuff is swing era Jazz stuff...nothing like the OutKast style. It talks about how during Speakerboxx/The Love Below, they were really just connected solo artists and how Dre didn't wanna tour...so Big Boi just toured on his own and BB comments "I hop i don't ever get like that-where i don't wanna do it." The article says that under his breath he added on "That $**+s f***ed up." It also touches on how Dre thinks falling in love ruins an artist's work ethic and creativity. BB has embraced his family life. The asked Dre if his comments if he waz talking about BB and he says 'he can't comment on that." BB shoots back saying he can't comment cuz he's not very involved in his personal life. The article starts closing on saying how they are signed to do one more album (and how Dre things contracts mean nothing). Big Boi has already started working on a solo album and says the following statement. "I dont' like to talk about the future." When asked about OutKast's future, he says "It just depends on how he (Dre) is feeling." Dre says" The business has put a strain on our relationship. We're like brothers though. We can argue, but were gonna still be together. I want Big Boi to do well inside and outside of OutKast. Because certain things don't last forever, and you have to start preparing for that." The article closes saying 'Fans might want to start preparing as well.' I waz a BIG OutKast fan back in '93...but started following them more at a distence since the late 90's. I still picked up Speakerboxx/The Love Below. At this point and after reading this article...i know i wanna see the movie (the trailor looked great)...but musically, i don't know if i care anymore.

USHER - U-Turn 8701 (2001)

Stupid album title. And when u look back on a few of Nas' late 90's trax...he contributed 2 that statement.

USHER - Pop Ya Collar All About U (unreleased album...reworked as 8701) (2000)

The album broke out at number 2. Not bad considering his 1st album did next 2 nothing commerically. I just heard the track "Did I Ever Tell You" off the exclusive version available at Target....which i love. If anyone knows when MTV's special on him putting this album 2gether, please post it...cuz i missed it.

God forbid anyone have a sense of humor here.

:::pukes on the mention of Lil' Kim::: :::uses one of her weeves 2 mop it up:::

Us that Heavy D that FP is "attacking?" I know that's Berry Sonnenfield behind him.

Congratz...makes me look at my pathetic single life and weep. Okay...maybe not. She's got alot 2 be proud of.

N2U - No...Say No Issues (2005)

Yeah, alot of of people who don't like FP never gave him a chance. So when they actually hear his music, they realize what he's really all about.

HI-TEK 3 - Spin That Wheel Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Soundtrack (1990)

SALT-N-PEPA - None of Your Business (12" Perfecto Mix) CD Single - Very Necessary (1994) Man, they need 2 bring back 5+ track CD singles with good remixes.

Word up. Getting banned from countries is gangsta! :kekeke:
