Thanx 4 posting that. I love hearing artists reach out 2 their fans. Since i do believe he waz innocent and waz hoping the best 4 me...not 2 mention being a fan since i waz like 2...that waz very cool 2 read.

BLACK EYED PEAS on that Best Buy commercial

I wouldn't call them "back-up rappers." They are just his "posse" i guess. I don't know why they are there tho'...they don't bring anything 2 the show or the song.

I just don't like Ludacris. His voice and flow annoy me. He has a decent lyric here and there, but nothing that impresses me. I just don't think he deserves 2 be on the same track as Da 'Prince. If he really wants support from the commerical rap fans...a remix with him would be the way 2 go....but that's the kinda people that got Big Willie Style and NOT Willennium and Born To Reign.

The video is easy 2 imagin, but i don't see it as single material. And since it would HAVE 2 be a performance style video...u gotta remember performance videos are SLEEPERS. Cool the 1st 5 times...boring the rest of the time. Since he has a hard time getting radio and video play, he would need a stronger single if he really wanted some play.

LINK - Sex Down Good naughty R-N-B from the late 90's. I remember making a mixtape that this track start it off. The ladies know they are in trouble when i put this song on...ha ha...jus' playin.'

Yes!! I knew they had another one of these in the works!! The 1st one waz great and i can't wait 2 see what they got in store 4 this one. LL Cool J is my 2nd favorite emcee, so i can't wait 2 see his part. Not 2 mention Big Daddy Kane getting honored. Actually, i'm looking forward 2 pretty much everybody and everything they are gonna honor.

Great!! I'm hyped!! I like how they are putting nearly a year in between the release of the seasons. That way we don't end up spending crazy money all at one time...AND it gives us something 2 look for over the next couple of years.

Please, no remixes with Ludacris!!

I don't watch Family Guy often. I think the show is incredibly overrated. Thanx 4 the newz tho.'

People who start dumb posts bring dumb commets out of smart people. But 4 the most part, i see dumb comments from dumb people. This topic screams "CLOSE ME!"

Yeah, i've seen the promo. I've only found vinyl copies so far so i'm holding out 4 the CD promo...assuming it'll be put out on CD. Radio stations should be receiving it now but the way he gets treated by radio will probably make it so they don't start playing it until the video is out.

I think that it might be a decent 1st single...but that's already happened. I just don't see the song standing up 2 stuff like "Party Starter" and "Tell Me Why."

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT - Tings Distracting

I don't think it's a good single choice...at least compared 2 most of the album.

VIVIAN GREEN - Sweet Memory (Beautifully Young)

Yeah, when Mike Jones waz being interviewed after the show, i couldn't understand a word he said. He got so much gold and/or diamonds in his mouth, he sounds like he's just learning 2 talk. His performance waz garbage...i muted the TV and turned on the CD player during his set. After the interviewer mentioned what da 'Prince said, i waz wondering what he would say since he fits in that category of rappers who don't have any role model qualities. All he said waz that he wants 2 spread the message that even if u make mistakes, your dreams can come true. That's nice and all, but his music dosen't contain any messeges like that, much less any substance. By the way, the show is re-running Friday at 7:30.

No, they didn't ask performers 2 lipsync. That waz up 2 them. Stevie Wonder did it live. Toni Braxton and Faith TORE-IT-UP during their tribute 2 Gladys Knight, who also sang live. I didn't really think JJ+FP waz gonna perform. There waz never any news that they were...only that FP and fam waz hosting it. I think most of the people here hyped themselves up and overlooked the fact that there wazn't any official newz that they were gonna perform.

I picked the album up 2day. It's definitly a great album. If u like quality music...this is it. Raheem's album is the perfect blend of Neo-Soul and Hip-Hop. Pete Kuzma of A Touch of Jazz is all over the album. Anthony Bell produced a track 4 it as well. Again, while the track waz recorded at A Touch of Jazz, he isn't credited as one of their in-house producers. This is a great R-N-B album 4 the summertime. It's on sale at Circuit City for only $7.99 thru' Saturday. If u like this kinda stuff...don't sleep!

The whole BET thing works becuz black people are considered a minority in the US...so they are saying the channel is aimed towards a minority. It wouldn't make sense 2 have a channel aimed towards the majority...cuz MOST stuff can be considered 4 the majority. Besides, with the yucky past of racial tension, it only works 1 way. That's why BET exists and why WET would never work.

Yeah, i think he needed 2 open the show with Jazzy. It would have only made sense. I like the end where FP + Jada were pretending 2 hate hosting the show. FP waz like "I keep a choke stash right here!"...ha ha. What happened 2 Lauryn Hill performing at the end of the show?!?! They kept talking about it and talking about it, then they just had Stevie Wonder playing "Happy Birthday To You" with FP + Jada doing back up dancing.

Vivian Green's new album "Vivian" dropped 2day. Most of u will know her from her hit single "Emotional Rollercoaster" from the fall of 2003. She's an amazing neo-soul artist who had alot of Philly Soul legends on her album, including Eric Roberson (Erro) from The Magnificent. Well, this album, whild a lil' more commerical as moments, is a healthy source of good R-N-B/soul music. Her voice is like water...it's just waters your soul. Anthony Bell or A Touch of Jazz produced the track "Frustrated." It's a really nice acoustic/soul kinda song. However, he may no longer be with ATOJ becuz the company isn't mentioned in the credits. Musical legend James Poyser (the drummer on "I Wanna Rock") is all over the album. Larry Gold also dose work on the album. If u love neo-soul and the Philly soul sound, get this album. This is right up there with the R-N-B stuff on The Magnificent, Jill Scott, Musiq, Kenny Lattimore, Raheem, etc. The album is on sale at Circuit City for $9.99 thru' Saturday.

...on a random note, let me say this. I dont' care how much Omarion + Ciara dance when they perform, those pre-recorded live vocals are WACK. People tune in 2 see u perform live...not dance 2 your own songs and occasionally move your lips.

Oh yeah, since people aren't really posting all the FP moments, let me discribe the 1st part i saw with him. He waz sitting on this chair summing up what happened so far during the show. Jada came out and started watching him run his mouth. He then jokingly complained that Beyonce waz giving lab dances back stage and that he didn't get one. Jada said that FP waz the best at giving them as she took the seat and FP went in 2 a rediculous lap dance, which waz hilarious. During this bit, some guy in the balcony started dissing FP. FP waz like "u didn't see ALI, did u?" He also joked b4 all this started, that how alot of white people were working backstage, which is why the show started on time. That cracked me up. Also, after one of the commerical breaks, they had a mock interview with FP and Jada. The interviewer asked "Why don't you put Jada in your movies" and he replied "i put her in ALI." Jada lashed out "you didn't put me in ALI, Michael Mann did!" Then FP said "I offered you to do Bagger Vance" and she rolled her eyes" and he waz like "well, u did Woo" and Jada yells "well, u did Wild Wild West!" It waz hilarious. FP waz like "Maybe we should stop doing movies with W's in them" and then said something like "cuz they w®eally w®eally don't work."

I missed the 1st half of this cuz i waz at work (u better believe i'll catch the reruns). Did y'all just catch The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reunion?!?!? For a moment, here in 2005, just over 9 years after the show ended, Uncle Phil, Aunt Viv, Carlton, Hilary, Ashley, and lil' Willie from Philly took the stage 2 present the Best Male Athlete award. That waz crazy...i know there will be pix of this up soon. After the award waz presented 2 Shaq (who wazn't there), FP stressed how that focusing on family dosen't include JUST your relatives.
