That line on "Real Slim Shady" has nothing 2 do with why many of us don't like him. In fact, back then i liked Eminem. I found out about him shortly b4 he blew up and i loved him. His lyrics were crazy. Funny, intellegent, witty, clever. His sound waz dope. He waz totally a breath of fresh air. Then his 2nd album came out. I don't think it waz that bad, but nothin about it could compare 2 "The Slim Shady LP." The beats were good...sometimes over produced...but still good 4 the most part. The lyrics got darker and more serious. At this point, EVERYBODY on a commercial front followed whatever he did. It waz during this era that i got kinda annoyed at how he dissed people and poked fun at situations strictly 2 get attentiong and sell records. By the time The Eminem Show came out...his magic waz totally gone. While he occasionally dose a really good song from time 2 time, all of it is swallowed up by the crap he puts out. Besides, as a person, he's proved 2 have made some bad choices. The problems with his ex-wife, the way he treats his mother, etc. He just makes bad choices and dosen't know how 2 forgive people and let go of the past. He's just turned in 2 this insenstive person who no longer cares about his art. I will praise his early work 4ever...but most of his stuff stuff is trash. 2 think most of us don't like him cuz of "Real Slim Shady" is rediculous.

SAMSON - Atmosphere

I haven't heard anything from him in years...and what i did hear, i remember not liking.

I have Kanye's album...i do listen 2 the lyrics. Songs like "All Falls Down" are amazing...but otherwise, he's just an above average artist 2 me. His skillz on the mid are just barely above average. From what i've heard so far, his production is consistently good.

BOW WOW + OMARION - Let Me Hold You

When i waz refurring 2 FACTS...i waz talking about Bad Boys and ID4 being part of FP's career at Nick's age. Neither of those movie were even started at that point. I'm saying that when u put Nick's movies up against FP's 1st 2....Nick has surpassed FP back when he waz at that age. Opinions are opinions. I don't care if anyone likes or dislikes Nick Cannon. I have my tastes and i think he's defintily an asset 2 Hip-Hop. I'm not comparing him 2 FP cuz that would be rediculous. But Nick is taking the path that FP paved which i totally respect. I know some other people's tastes and history when it comes 2 Hip-Hop on this board. Which is why i respect other people's opinions more than others. Not 2 mention the way some people carry themselves.

I can get brand new SEALED copies of that "Freakin' It" CD single featuring "Holla Back." Depending where u live, it would cost about $10 - $13.

I wazn't ripped off...i wanted it and willing 2 pay that much. I spent like $80 on the Japan version of JJ+FP "Greatest Hits" for "Don't Fight The Feeling."

I wanna see this movie a lil' bit. My friends have said that it's good but that it has some of the cheezy love stuff that's in Spider-Man. I never followed Fantastic Four stuff which is partly why my interest in it isn't that strong.

THANX!! Sounds like a hit. I love how the video is on it's way and how "Tell Me Why" is definitly the next big hit.

I'm not talking nonsense. At Nick's age, FP only had done the overlooked sleeper Where The Day Takes You and Made In America (which waz good...but nothing but an altered version of Will from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air). Ain't nothing wrong with Nick's movie and TV career. He's on his way 2 big things. FP, Jamie Foxx, LL, Latifah, etc all started out the same way. Fight with me all u want, but at least come correct on your facts.

$25 is nothing. I've spent $60 and $70 on JJ+FP music...FOR ONE SONG.

SILK - Girl U For Me Silk is easily one of the best R-N-B groups of all time.

Either legal things kept the song from coming out or it just wazn't that impressive. His work on Common Sense's album waz dope...so i'd expect his work with FP 2 be 2. As a rapper, Kanye is okay but VERY overrated...at least 2 me. "Diamonds" is the most boring song ever.

JESSICA SIMPSON + WILLIE NELSON - These Boots Are Made For Walkin' This is a cute lil' cover. I don't think i could listen 2 the song 10 times...but i could watch the video in my mind all day long. ..."AJ, why are u smiling so much?"

Think about Nick's age...compared 2 FP at that age, Nick Cannon has already ran circles around FP's movie career at his early 20's. Without FP paving the way...i doubt Nick Cannon could have accomplished so much on the movie front without FP's clearing the way.

USHER - ONE DAY YOU'LL BE MINE

Batman Begins is great. I haven't heard a bad review yet...from critics or friends. A group of us who already saw the movie got 2gether 2 nites ago 2 watch a bootleg that one of my friends got. Great movie.

Yeah, i'm in love with that song. I heard it 4 the 1st time last week.

I think that song is okay. Nearly the whole album is easily better than that song tho.' For the same reason u seem 2 like the song is the same reason i don't like it as much. Maybe they'll have a Radio Edit without Rap version.

CHILLI + VEGA - Spread My Wings

Hey, just a heads up. Bad Boys on DVD is on sale at Circuit City for only $7.49!! If u don't have it...u have no reason 2 not go get it. That price is crazy. The sale price is good thru' Saturday.

I think it's really stupid that so many people have said "He'll never be like Will." I'm not saying he'll be bigger or anything. But in 1986, how many Hip-Hop fans do u think JJ+FP would never amount 2 anything. Now Will Smith is one of the most popular people in the whole world.

KELLY CLARKSON - Behind These Eyes The video is on MTV...not the stuff i check 4, but i really like this song and her last single.

When it comes 2 newz articles, they always compare a lesser-established artist 2 a well-known artist. It helps people associate a person they aren't familiar with somebody they probably do know about. However, when u are what's "hot"...u always get people compared 2 u. Nick Cannon doesn't cuss in his music, some of his lyrics are funny, and he's a positive person. So naturally they are gonna compare him 2 Da 'Prince. Who else could they compare him 2? 50 Cent, Ja-Rule, Nelly...heck no! There are no other emcees like FP anymore. At least not on a mainstream front (other LL).
