NELLY FURTADO - I'm Like A Bird Modern day classic

I saw Madagascar when it 1st came out...but i'm seeing it again 2morrow. I have a group of friends who really wanna see it so i figure i'll go see it again.

No doubt. I LOVE NAUGHTY!! Their rhymes, their style, their voices, their flow, Kay Gee's production...it's all good. I've been following them since "O.P.P."

Welcome 2 the board!!

This guy seems 2 wanna use a big, popular event 2 make his point big and gain attention. I just don't know if this guy is right in his own mind, or one of those crazy guys just trying 2 get fame.

MARIAH CAREY - It's Like That

Oh lawd! That might have a point he wants 2 stress...but his sources are rediculous. Everybody knows that commerical waz strictly 2 make people laugh. FP and Jada have that perfect family image...the kinda stuff that pastor supports. The whole commercial waz funny cuz they commercial waz mocking that. If he dosen't like BET saying it's not "THE VOICE"...then he can start his own network and shut his mouth. BET is one of the most tasteful networks on TV.

I think every track Alicia Keys has produced has been good...and usually amazing. Kanye has produced a few stand out trax, but overall i don't think he can even touch Alicia Keys.

Let me put it this way...so as 2 not confuse anyone. I think it's imporant 2 do a party track here and there. I also want the comedy 2 stay in his music...that's what made me a HUGE fan in the 1st place. The serious stuff is also important tho.' I really don't care for songs like "Freakin' It" at all. But stuff like "Switch" and "If U Can't Dance (Slide)" are dope. I never want him 2 stop making trax like that. But i do want a consistent flow of trax like The Rain as well.

JJ+FP - Yo! Home To Bel-Air

I remember back in the mid-90's, i like alot of their songs. My friend got their album but i haven't listened 2 them in ages.

Heavy D has a new album coming out sometime kinda soon. I'm looking 4ward 2 that. Black Eyed Peas keep things pretty tasteful. LL Cool J's more recent stuff is free from explict stuff. Nick Cannon keeps things clean. Bow Wow has kept his stuff clean even tho' he's growing up. Again, Mase has no real skills on the mic, but i do respect the clean lyrics. Vipa, where did u hear he waz going back 2 his Murda Mase persona? He wazn't even Murda Mase when he 1st signed with Bad Boy. Murda Mase waz his thing b4 he signed to Bad Boy...then he went pop, then he retired, then he came back clean.

I really don't want him 2 go one way or the other. There are moments when i wanna get jiggy wit it...and their are days when i need trax that'll help me get thru' the rain. Albums like Big Willie Style were way 2 easy for him...and Lost + Found comes across a bit forced at times. I want something in between. But it's important that each album is different...but not drastically different. FP knows what he's doing.

I agree that it should have been a single/video. The song is amazing. But getting mad that it wazn't released is kinda stupid.

FRESH PRINCE + DJ KOOL - Coming To The Stage

Well, here's an update. We wrapped the show. About 7 minutes in2 it, we had 2 stop the show cuz of the weather. We were performing in an amphitheater (a theater outside). So, we invited the audience up 2 the regular theater. We did the show with NO SET and no body mics (which means we had 2 sing very loud 2 over power the band). However, the feedback waz great. People seemed 2 really enjoy it. And after a scene or 2, i think they 4got that we had no set...ha ha. I got TONS of props which felt good. The actress playing Cinderella made it thru' the show. She went 2 the hospital last nite and they said she had a "crushed foot" which would end up with really bad bruising. She is on crutches, but nothing is broken and she did the show without crutches. While most of us are disappointed that we didn't get 2 do the show in the amphitheater. It kept us and the audience safe from the crazy lighting and the down pour that later came. The show rocked and LeAnne/Cinderella is alright. So overall, things ended up good.

There is no way 2 call anybody a future legend. 2 be a legend, u have 2 have staying power and a library of work that is 4 the most part, flawless and consistant (no selling out and totally flipping your style). Rap is full of disposable artists who are here one day and gone the next. I don't see ANYBODY who released their 1st album in the last 5 years or so 2 be considered as a legend on the long run. Think about it, can u really see anybody like Puffy, Kanye, Ludacris, Nelly, 50 Cent, Eminem, Lil' Jon, or T.I. to someone like Run-DMC, JJ+FP, Public Enemy, MC Lyte, LL Cool J, Queen Latifah, A Tribe Called Quest, MC Hammer, Wu-Tang Clan, N.W.A., 2Pac, etc?

Oh lawd...this has got 2 be one of the silliest posts ever. Mase has no flow and his lyrics have no fire 2 them. His newer stuff is better than his old, but he'll never even be and average rapper in my opinion. I totally respect the way he flipped the script and cleaned up his lyrics tho'.

This sounds really good...and really refreshing. Hip-Hop/Rap gets NO positive shine these days...other than Da' Prince. Along with Black Eyed Peas, LL Cool J, + Nick Cannon. This show definitly looks like it'll be entertaining AND a breath of FRESH air 4 Hip-Hop.

I don't even think Eminem needs 2 produce...cuz he isn't very good at it. "Runnin'" and "Ghetto Gospel" came out pretty good....but when u hear the stuff on his recent albums and 2Pac's "Loyal To The Game" album, it bring tears 2 my eyes cuz it's so bad.

It's no big deal that FP waz there. After all, his wife waz performing. His style or taste isn't gonna change cuz of going 2 Ozzfest. Let's not 2 silly.

JJ+FP + SNOOP DOGG - Pump Ya Breaks

This weekend my show is going on. Of course this is nothing serious. But if i could get some support 4 me and the cast 2 keep the show tight, that would be great. We did a good show 2nite but there is room for improvement. On a more serious not, the girl playing Cinderella broke her foot when the cow prop fell on her. So the last half of the show had Cinderella sitting on the floor or in a chair. I think it's be nice if some prayers were sent out 2 her in hopes of speedy recovery and no pain in the meantime.

This dosen't effect me at all. Except that now i know there will be a lesser chance of crap like "Just Lose It" and "@$$ Like That" hitting the radio. I like Eminem's early stuff...so 2 me, he's be retired 4 awhile...cuz this last 2 efforts were no where near as good as his 1st 2 mainstream albums.

Man, i could see this coming. I love Shock-G. He's nothing short of a genius. I've been listening 2 him since i waz 10. I would never want someome 2 do something they no longer feel happy doing. I urge everyone 2 check out his solo album and the DU albums. They are one of my top fav groups ever.
