  1. I sent them 2 Tim years ago. I thought he'd have them on the lyrics page...but i never check them out so i don't know. If noboy else posts it...i'll try 2 get my old broken computer working so i can put 'em up.
  2. It looks like Jive is gonna release another JJ+FP greatest hits CD. It's highly likely this will be one of those 10 track CDs with all the biggest singles and a 2 paged-insert. But who knows, since "Switch" waz a hit, they might surprise us with a b-side, a remix, something unreleased, another new remix (like Summertime '98), or even some of FP's solo hits. We only have about a month and a half 2 find out. It's good that Jive is releasing it and not another company. There's a better chance that it won't suck since their record lable is releasing it. At least we can hope for rare photo's 2 be somewhere on the package.
  3. Heavy D + The Boyz - In Living Color Man, they need 2 release the many versions of this song.
  4. The Judgement Night soundtrack has lot of Hip-Hop/Rap and Rock collabos....Run-DMC, De La Soul, Onyx, Cypress Hill, Sir Mix-Alot...alongside Living Colour, Pearl Jam, etc. The Tony Rich Project mixes R-N-B and Soul with some Rock on his 2003 album. 4th Avenue Jones' most recent album mixes Hip-Hop, R-N-B and Rock. DMC's album has various flavas mixed in with Hip-Hop. Martin Luther has R-N-B Soul mixed in with Rock. Speech combines Hip-Hop, R-N-B, Soul, Reggae all 2gether. Gospel singer Nicole C. Mullen mixes alot of acoustics and a dash of rock in some of her R-N-B sound...along with some Hip-Hop Natasha Bedingfield and Nelly Furtado mix alot of different styles 2gether in their music. Jason Mraz is a light rock and acoustic kinda artist...but he mixes soul, Hip-Hop, Reggae/Dancehall, and Jazz in with his stuff. He's most recent single is a perfect example..."Geek In The Pink."
  5. mark...if u don't learn how 2 log in...i swear i'm gonna ban the crap outta u.
  6. It's all the same 2 me. When u look at his music, he's pretty much where u'd expect him 2 be. He keeps it fresh, but his lyrics, sound, and subject matter have always naturally progressed 2 where he is right now.
  7. I didn't read that article and i don't follow either of their careers 2 closely. But when it comes 2 skillz, i ride with Cam'ron. When he came out, i followed him kinda closely and really liked alot of his songs. Even his more recents were decent. But after Jay-Z's 1st album, i didn't like him much at all. Jay-Z's attitude, music, and some of his actions are a joke 2 me. I'll read this article when i have more time...but looking at things as is...i favor Cam'ron.
  8. I love "Contol Myself." The old school "Planet Rockish" beat along with LL's "Going Back To Cali" flow is brilliant 2 me. All that wrapped up in a song 4 the clubs and Jennifer Lopez on the hook. It's just a dope song for the clubs and the radio. It's the only song on his album like that. And all of my friends are feelin' it 2...so he's doing something right. I can't blame of the song's success on Jay-Z...it's all LL, baby.
  9. Master P's music is awful...but i give him props for supporting FP while addressing Bow Wow's immaturity issues.
  10. "Party Starter" waz the perfect 2nd single. However, by the time it dropped...it waz time 2 release "Tell Me Why." "Tell Me Why" needed 2 be released...period. Whether it waz then, now, or later. That song needed 2 be released. Not just 4 commercial success...but cuz people need 2 hear it. Pretty much ever song on Lost + Found would have made a good single/video/radio hit, but i'm thinkin' "I Wish I Made That / Swagga" would have been a good choice. Since it's 2 songs in one, and since they are very different, they would be appealing to 2 different kinds of music fans. Not 2 mention "I Wish..." totally attacking his greatest weakness...a lack of support from TV and radio.
  11. JADE - One Woman (Remix) Vibe Compilation (1993)
  12. KELIS + TOO SHORT - Bossy (2006) Thank God someone put Too Short back out there!!
  13. I think it waz Flavour Flav who' said "every new school turns old school." So anyone knocking someone for being old school is a fool. After all, with out the old school, there would be no new school. Those doors would have never been opened 4 this newer guys. However, when i think of old school, i think of class, i think of fun, and i think of skillz. I can't see alot of the artists who have energed in the 90's and the 2000's as EVER being old school. They just did their thing in a different era. I could never see Jay-Z as old school. He lacks what the old school artists have/had. And when that whole flossing, bling bling crap dies away...he'll just be another 90's/00's artist.
  14. I actually like "What You Want" better than "It's LL And Santana." But when it comes 2 mic skillz, i like Juelz Santana more than Freeway. I don't plan on getting albums by either of them...but Juelz Santana sounds like he be more my style. I wish he's nixed them and put FP and Busta in their place...ha ha.
  15. Your friend is an idiot. FP does what he wants...period. He isn't trying 2 be old school. He's from the old school and he's always gonna have traces of that in his music whether he tries 2 or not. Check Chuck D, LL, Ice Cube, Rev Run, DMC, and so on. Their current music is all true 2 their old stuff...while still fresh 2 what they are doing 2day. Lots of this new jack commerical rappers not only lie where they come from, but they don't tell u where they really come from. FP's music is 4 a certain kinda music fan. I think that kinda person repects intellegent people, old school flava, positive music, true-2-self lyrics, and so on. The fact that he said the bass isn't enough is rediculous. What did he do, download the album and listen 2 it on his computure. He can ride with me and hear it thru' my stereo....cuz it's fine 2 me. And the whole sampling issue...puh-leez. Has he noticed that Hip-Hop music started by sampling other people's records?!?! Besides, FP hasn't done 2 much sampling since Willennium.
  16. I got this from AOL Newz... --- Latifah Gets Welfare, First-Look Deals Posted Apr 12th 2006 5:08PM by Martha Fischer Did you know that Queen Latifah has co-owned her own production company for 17 years? You did? Oh. Well, it's news to me. Flavor Unit, which started out in music management but has since produced films including Bringing Down the House and Beauty Shop, has signed a first-look deal with Rogue Pictures, the incredibly active genre arm of Focus Features. According to the terms of the deal, Flavor Unit will produce films (with "modest" budgets) through both Focus and Rogue, with the goal of making about three every year; already on the table for the company are Welfare Queen, Reality Sucks (yes, that's a parody of reality TV), and the obviously awesome Horror in the Hamptons which, according to Latifah, is "about a bunch of 16-year-olds chopping each other up." Oh hell yes! The first product of the collaboration will be the aforementioned Welfare Queen, a based-on-a-true-story drama about a woman named Dorothy Woods, who "scammed the welfare system out of a fortune." The film will star Latifah as Woods, and the script is current being written.
  17. LL Cool J is truely one of the greatests of time. He's pioneered Hip-Hop and influenced nearly anyone who's ever touched a mic. He's adapted over the years and always picked the peices shortly after a time where some say he may have dropped the ball. In the days where commerical success often means u have 2 be phoney and untalented...and where old schoolers have either given up or struggled 2 keep on with jacked up (or no) record deals...LL still outshines nearly everyone. The new album has a retro kinda feel 2 it. Some of it is a bit of old with the new...other trax have a 90's feel 2 them. And while there are alot of guests on the album, they rarely take attention from LL would can hold any album on his own. When u are tired of the music that lacks intellegence (Lil' Jon), music that is only being made 2 make money (Jay-Z) and music that is tasteless and disrespectful (Eminem)...LL always offers an alternative. Let's break it down... IT'S LL AND SANTANA - This high energy joint brings the old with the new. LL's presence on the track is dripping with swagga. Just classic aggresive LL. Juelz Santana is on the higher end of 2day's commercial rappers. So this bridges the younger and radio fans over 2 the Living Legend. CONTROL MYSELF - The beat is straight old school presented in a new school kinda way. Thank Jermaine Dupri (who's old school roots are always overlooked) for that. The fact that he revisists his "Going Back To Cali" flow is genious. Jennifer Lopez supplys the addictive hook. This is LL reaching out 2 the ladies in the club. Y'all have heard this...movin' on. FAVORITE FLAVOR - This definitly has a mid-90's feel 2 it. It sounds alot like that Mary J. Blige 'My Life' kinda vibe. LL is laidback on this one. Just a R-N-B heavy love joint. Just dope. They gotta release this 4 the summertime!! FREEZE - This is the first time LL has dipped in 2 soul on this level. Some people may not like the slow tempo...but it's a totally new thing 4 me. I love it. The slow beat mixed with LL's slightly rushed raps is just cool 2 me. Lyfe brings that southern soul brotha vibe. Another love joint. It grew on me quick. BEST DRESS - It looks like LL and Jamie Foxx mended their wounds. Just 5 years ago they were beefing after doing Any Given Sunday. We'll, this Neptunes joint is a classy retro-heavy song. Another one 4 the ladies. It has LL persuading a female 2 leave her man who isn't treating her right. PRESERVE THE SEXY - This b-level joint has some fire 2 it. Teairra Mari hasn't really proven herself when it comes 2 music...but she kinda takes on the role that LeShawn would be if she waz on the album. As the song goes on, she sings a lil' more instead of the rap/sung style. This song is just about being on top of your game. LL is right at home when it comes 2 his flow on this one. WHAT YOU WANT - Man, i don't like Freeway at all. But i love this song. Lots of energy on this one. This track brings out classic LL. Another joint 2 help u remember who is the king. The interaction with Freeway is cool...but so many more emcees deserve 2 be lyrically beside him instead. I'VE CHANGED - Man, this one is dope. Trackmasters came out of the woodwork 2 give us a real good beat on this. It's got some tension 2 it that fits perfect with the lyrics. LL talks about losing his girl and how he tries 2 get her back even tho' he's got some obsticals in the way. Ryan Toby (of City High...and from the Big Willie Style album) is on the hook. This isn't his typical appearance tho'...he has this old school soul kinda touch 2 his vocals. I can totally relate 2 this song...it's just dope. OOH WEE - LL gets Ginuwine 2 back him up here. The beat is really smooth and Ginuwine just takes it 2 the next level. This might be another love song...but i can't say that i'm getting tired of them at all. Just dope. This kinda sounds like a late 90's track 2 me. #1 FAN - This kinda has a late 90's feel 2. It's a slick Hip-Hop beat with a dash of a latin style thrown in2 the mix. LL's delievery is a sing-song-rap kinda style. I love it. DOWN THE AISLE - OOooooohhhhh weeeeee!!!! This is so smooth. It's a slick R-N-B beat with a mellow tempo groove. The lyrics are very deep and personal. Half of this album is about love, and each love song has a different approach 2 it. This is the climax of it all. How many emcees and rappers can pour their heart out about getting married. 112 puts their best foot forward. Over the years, i've kinda outgrown them, but this is a step back 2 where they should be. Just amazing. WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT - I love this song. If u are gonna do a fly Hip-Hop/Gospel track...there's only a few people u can get on board 2 keep it contemporary...and Mary Mary would be one of those groups. LL comes with straight 2 the point inspirational lyrics. Every bar has more heart and experience in it that what most rappers put in their entire albums....or their entire library of music. Dope...period. SO SICK (REMIX) - I love the original...and even tho' they abandon all the things that made the original song dope, they do it justice. It took me a few listens 2 realize this. It has a early/mid 90's vibe 2 it Rough, yet a lil' smooth. Just a good remix. All in all, i love this album. Yes, i am bias. I've grown up on LL and love every album he's ever done. Of course i'm gonna favor him since he's bring positive lyrics and dosen't cuss (anymore). And i'm also madly in love with someone in my life right now...so that dosen't hurt either. But even if that wazn't the case. The sound and vibe of the album is unlike any other album released in years. Every lyric is dope and LL is flawless on the mic. Do yourself a favor and check the album. Most places still have it for $9.99 and $11.99 this week.
  18. NE-YO + LL COOL J - So Sick (Remix) Todd Smith (2006)
  19. Jay-Z annoyes the crap outta me. 2 this day, i can't respect or grasp the fact that he's heading Def Jam. When u think Def Jam, u think of the legends like LL Cool J and Public Enemy. Jay-Z has only done like 15 good songs since his 1st album. How is this overrated commercial rapper gonna knock people like Chuck D, LL, and FP just cuz they are getting up in their years. They are still in the limelight and doing their thing on different levels. They paved the way so Jay-Z's lazy, uncreative butt could do what he's doing right now. LL needs 2 rip him ina diss track...but that'll never happen since he's staying away from battling and since Jay-Z is running things at Def Jam. What a joke. About the album, i think it's better than The DEFinition. The production is slightly better and had a retro feel. He still brings up upbeat stuff 4 the clubs, but he's much mellower on this album. The DEFinition had way 2 many beats that were just tossed 2gether. These beats aren't as thick as i'd like, but they are still good, none the less. There is a lil' more 2 them than what The DEFinition had. It's far better than any other Hip-Hop or Rap albums coming out at the moment...and when u released an album just a year and a half ago, it dosen't always have 2 be up 2 parr. That's how Nelly and Jay-Z have built their careers. If u release an album nearly ever year, it dosen't have 2 be that strong cuz u live strictly off the hype.
  20. The Millenium Collection The Very Best Of Bob Marley & The Wailers Craig David Born To Do It $4.99(Used) (Reccomended) - i don't have this...but i almost bought it last week. Bob Marley is a legend. Westside Connection Terrorist Threats - I passed on this one. I like Ice Cube....but until i find this CD for like $2 i wont' be checkin' 4 it. Marques Houston MH - I love this album...every single song is dope. LL Cool J G.OA.T. - I like the masculine energy on this one. He cusses a bit more than i want from LL, but still a dope album. It got me thru' alot when it 1st came out. I'm listening 2 his new album now...u should have gotten that instead. I don't know if i'd say it's better or not...but it's good. The worse thing u can do is listen 2 other people's opinions...make up your own. Will Smith Big Willie Style - A dope album. Just straight rappin'...a dope comeback. I couldn't get this CD outta my stereo forever. I can't believe it too, u this long 2 get it (almost 9 years!!) Master P MP Da Last Don - Master P has never been good. I never even considered picking up any of his stuff. Ice Cube Greatest Hits - I've been putting off getting this album 4ever. Mostly cuz i have most of the trax on it. When it come 2 hardcore Hip-Hop...Ice Cube is amoungst the best.
