I saw this news yesterday and it really disappointed me. I honestly didn't think they would split since they are all very down 2 earth people. I think all of their solo albums are good but they aren't as good as the DC albums. I think their chemistry and style is just great and it's really a shame they are splitting after this tour.

I just saw a rerun of 2day's 106 + Park...IT'S NUMBER 1!!! I'm really impressed. Usually the 106 audience puts that G-Unit and Mike Jones type trash 2 the top of the charts. I'm glad some quality music with actual subject matter is one the top at the moment.

I didn't really want 2 see this movie while it waz in theaters that much...but my friend wanted 2 see it so bad that they paid 4 my ticket...who can complain about that!?! Anyways, i did like this movie. It's defintily something creative and loaded with comedy and action.

MARY MARY - In The Morning

Well, today, after my dog collapsed, me and my family desided that it waz time 2 relieve him from his struggle. As painful as the whole thing is, there is a peace inside me that i never expected could be there...which lets me know the time was right. Since his condition wasn't going to get better, and his health waz slowly getting worse...which didn't drag down his spirits, we desided to end the pain. It is one of the most awful things i've been thru', but i'm very thankful for the 10 years i had him. In this time, i just ask for comfort for my family. Thank you in advance 2 anyone who keeps me and my family in their thoughts and prayers.

I waz relieved when i 1st heard the newz. I believe that he probably is innocent, but i had no idea how the court case waz going 2 end even tho' from what i did follow, the people sueing him sounded really shady. I hope this polishes up his image and helps him get his life in order...and rejuvinates his career.

His last album Weekend Warrior is brilliant. One of the best Hip-Hop albums of the 2000's easily. I hope he comes out with another album soon. He's been doing big things with his DJing, commericals, cameos, and his participation in VH-1's Celebrity Fit Club.

I just got news that the episode that Arrested Development waz on will be re-airing on Tuesday.

This Prayer And Support Circle for the board is a place where we can all share certain events, concerns, and storms with fellow board members. Big or small, if you need prayer or support in life, please share it and we will gather as a family to help each other. Please avoid getting to detailed with spiritual beliefs. If you do not believe in something greater that what this world has to offer, please don't be disrespectful in this post.

Reminds me of when they released Lil' Kim's "Crush On You" back in 1997. The song waz on her album, but i THINK it waz originally just a song by Lil' Cease. She recorded vocals 4 the remix which waz released as the single. Awful song by the way.

Well, i got some bad news 2day from the vet. It sounds like his time with me won't be very long. His heart his enlarged, his liver is small, and he has a tumor in his stomach. The tumor fills up with blood and then releases it in2 his stomach, which is when he can't move around much. Since he's pretty old, surgery isn't a realistic option. The vet said that he isn't in pain, but that he will be uncomfortable at times. So basically, as long as he's doin' alright, we'll play it by ear, but when he has a bad day, that will probably be the time we releave him of all that. I know that God is in control and that he can work a miracle that medicine and doctors can't, but i don't really think that will happen. Just as much pain as i feel from the news, some of the stress has been lifted from me. I like 2 call this "spiritual pain relief" becuz while i am hurting, i'm handling it much more better than i ever imagined. Prayers for comfort, patience, good judgement, and even healing as still appricated. I wanna thank u all 4 all the support any everything.

BLACK EYED PEAS - Monkey Business (da album)

Thanx 4 the words guys! Then mean alot. He's been doing a bit better and he's going 2 the vet in about an hour. The combination of this event along with another is really bringing me down. I'm hoping 4 good things 2 happen out of both of them and 2 bring my life back 2 a normal pattern.

How old is the song? I vaugly remember someone posting about it b4. But i don't remember the Heavy D line...which i think i would have. MC Ren is a joke tho'...all he's got riding on his career is N.W.A. He hasn't had a hit or even a legit following since. How can anybody be a "Ren hata" when there's nothing 2 hate about other than his wack solo music? D' Angelo dosen't bite Prince's style, and Heavy D help laid groundwork so that Hip-Hop could be where it is 2day...how's he gonna bite Biggie when he laid the game down 4 him. And we all know FP left Philly cuz of doing the show and all his acting project. MC Ren only makes himself look foolish with this lyric.

JODECI - Back To The Future: The Very Best of Jodeci (da album)

Ugh, bad news. He's not doing too well again. His energy level is really low and he's not eating much again. My anxiety level goes up and down with his condition...so i'm exhausted. He's going to the vet 2nite probably. I'm really hoping there is something that can be done. So all prayers would be appriciated.

U gotta remember, back in the day, female emcees didn't exactly try 2 look real feminine. Even if u look at early pix of MC Lyte and other female emcees, they are very tomboyish.

MICHELLE WILLIAMS - Do You Know p.s. Johnny 5, Marc Cohn's 1st album waz dope!! My dad got that album on cassette and used 2 play it in the car when i waz younger. It waz one of the few albums he had that i actually liked.

Man, Arrested Developement did an episode, and one!! I missed it!! I can't believe it.

My thoughts... RZA seems 2 be ruining the Wu-Tang name with this project. I'm not saying it might not be any good tho.' Russell Simmons...is there nothing this man can't do? Puffy's idea seems 2 be ill fated cuz i don't see him doing anything as big as Russell did with Def Comedy Jam. TLC is my other favorite group. I'm glad 2 see them getting in people's faces again, but i still don't like the idea of them working with someone else even it it's just 4 a TV show. At least their greatest hits album will be coming out 4 sure now. Nick Cannon's new project sounds interesting. I'll like 2 check that out.

That message board means nothing 2 me...just like their opinions.

Wow, i can't believe y'all have seen her album b4.

BRANDY - Have You Ever

It depends on alot of things. Contracts have alot 2 do with it. Some artists pay 4 alot of their stuff...some only pay 4 some of it cuz their label pay 4 stuff. Touring, videos, etc. Some artists make more off their albums than others. New artists verses established artists is another thing u take in2 consideration. That's why alot of artists get in2 fanclubs, clothing lines, etc. They make money off that kinda stuff their the contracts keep them from making alot of money. Also, if u are an artist releasing your music independently, u get 2 keep all or most of the money people spend on your music. When u are on a big label, u usually only make a few cents off each album bought.

There are no rules 2 the game. Don't be so tecnical...just write what comes naturally 2 u. As long as u are original and it comes from your heart, that's all that matters.
