Can't Wait To Be With You Single
JumpinJack AJ replied to fan 4ever's topic in Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
Now that's a girl u wanna hang on 2!! I love the Red Eye Mix. Those overseas producers/remixers didn't do most of those "Twinkle Twinkle" and "Can't Wait To Be With You" remixes...but the Red Eye Mix of "Can't Wait..." is great! -

JumpinJack AJ replied to Hero1's topic in Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
It's a shame it didn't do better. I gotta admit, i only saw like 2 episodes. I wanted 2 watch it more often but life got in the way. I'll definitly buy it when they release it on DVD. -
'The Riddler' Frank Gorshin Dies at 72 By JEFF WILSON, AP Gorshin is best known for his Emmy-nominated role as The Riddler on the 'Batman' TV series. BURBANK, Calif. (May 18) - Frank Gorshin, the impressionist with 100 faces best known for his Emmy-nominated role as the Riddler on the "Batman" TV series, has died. He was 72. Gorshin's wife of 48 years, Christina, was at his side when he died Tuesday at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center, his agent and longtime friend, Fred Wostbrock, said Wednesday. "He put up a valiant fight with lung cancer, emphysema and pneumonia," Mrs. Gorshin said in a statement. Despite dozens of TV and movie credits, Gorshin will be forever remembered for his role as the Riddler, Adam West's villainous foil in the question mark-pocked green suit and bowler hat on "Batman" from 1966 to '69. "It really was a catalyst for me," Gorshin recalled in a 2002 Associated Press interview. "I was nobody. I had done some guest shots here and there. But after I did that, I became a headliner in Vegas, so I can't put it down." West said the death of his longtime friend was a big loss. "Frank will be missed," West said in a statement. "He was a friend and fascinating character." Gorshin earned another Emmy nomination for one for a guest shot on "Star Trek," a 1969 episode called "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield." In 2002, Gorshin portrayed George Burns on Broadway in the one-man show "Say Goodnight Gracie." He used only a little makeup and no prosthetics. "I don't know how to explain it. It just comes," he said. "I wish I could say, `This is step A, B and C.' But I can't do that. I do it, you know. The ironic thing is I've done impressions all my life - I never did George Burns." Gorshin's final performance will be broadcast on Thursday's CBS series "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation." Born in Pittsburgh, Gorshin broke into show business in New York. He did more than 40 impressions, including Al Jolson, Kirk Douglas, Bobby Darin, Dean Martin and James Cagney. Later, he took his impressions to "The Ed Sullivan Show" on a memorable evening - the same night the Beatles were featured. He did impressions in Las Vegas showrooms, opening for Darin and paving the way for other impressionists like Rich Little. Sammy Davis Jr. said it was Gorshin who taught him to do impressions, Wostbrock said. "He said you had to look like them and walk like them. Once you get that down, the voice comes easy," he said. Gorshin's movie roles included "Bells are Ringing" (1960) with his idol Dean Martin and a batch of fun B-movies such as "Hot Rod Girl" (1956), "Dragstrip Girl" (1957) and "Invasion of the Saucer Men" (1957). "He was fun, fascinating, wild and always a class act," Wostbrock said. "Here's a guy who always wore great clothes, stood up when a woman walked into the room - he was a gentleman. We did all our deals with a handshake. There was never a signed contract." His other TV credits included roles on "General Hospital, "The Edge of Night" and "The Munsters" as well as guest appearances on "Donny & Marie," "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson," "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman," "Murder, She Wrote," "The Fall Guy," "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century," "Wonder Woman," "Charlie's Angels" and "Police Woman." Besides his wife, Gorshin leaves his son Mitchell Gorshin of Orlando, Fla., and sister Dottie Roland of Pittsburgh. Wostbrock said the funeral would be private and Gorshin would be buried in the family plot in Pittsburgh. 05/18/05 12:59 EDT

JON B. + 2PAC - Happy Home - Part 2

What kills me the most is that FP talked about their album so much. I waz just anticipating it. On top of that, it had an FP rap. And now we'll never hear it.

Those are hilarious!! That's some of the best stuff i've seen in a while. Man, i hope he NEVER dose Othello. :hilarious:

Yeah, one of my co-workers wouldn't believe i just turned 25. She's 20 and she swore i waz 19 or 20. I had 2 show her my license 4 her 2 believe me.

Acting seems 2 be my thing at the moment. I got in2 it in the mid-90's and started actutally doing alot of shows at the local dinner theater and community college in the late 90's. Since then i've posished up my skillz and even learned 2 carry a tune (i wouldn't even do musicals when i started...now i get leads in musicals). I'm well known in the local theater community and lots of people recognize me when i got out (which is kinda nice). Most of my socal life is now made up of actors, singers, dancers, musicians, etc since that's who i'm around all day. Hip-Hop and poetry is where my heart is at tho.' I don't write very often these days but it's still number one 2 me. However, as a perfectionist, i'm very hard when critiquing my stuff. They just opened a recording studio downtown. I'm thinkin' about checking it out. I'm think i'm gonna take a break from theater during the last half of the summer and definitly in the winter. It would be nice 2 start writing again seeing where i'm at musically. Hopefully i can hook up with a producer down there. Otherwise, i work as a photographer/manager at the local Picture People. I'm hoping 2 get a certain position down there which will allow me 2 get paid more money and live a little more comfortably which will also allow me 2 continue acting and stuff like that. Outside of all that, i just like having a good time. I like 2 think of myself as a champion and i work everyday towards living more like a champion. I try 2 stay up on a basic homeworkout and eat correctly. Recently i've been getting in the best shape of my life since i waz in high skool. Whatever i do in life, i take it 2 the max. Hard work can lead 2 so many rewards in life. U just gotta realize it 2 tap in real success in life. Everyday i read from a book by pastor/speaker Joel Osteen and his book Your Best Life Now which keeps me motivated and on track. I also try 2 read a lil' bit from the Bible each day. Lastly, i usually read from 2Pac's and/or T-Boz's book of poetry or read song lyrics out of CD inserts. Right now i'm facing a struggle or 2 in life, but i'm not letting it take my joy. I'm focusing on the good and moving on in other areas in my life. When the time is right, that area of struggle will catch up with everything else. That's the world of AJ at the moment.

I'd go with JJ+FP. If my soulmate made me chose over anything...then something is wrong. People age...but CDs don't. And CDs are always there 4 u. Besides, i grew up with their music...but not with whoever my soulmate is. Man, this was easier than i thought. :hilarious:

Your teacher is right, but that's not how people really think about it.

the famous or the new people
JumpinJack AJ replied to sonic1988's topic in Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
I think that chemistry is the most important thing. I don't care if an artist is established or up-and-coming, if they have talent and work great with FP...then so be it. I don't have anything against Snoop Dogg, but i still don't their there is any reason he should be on the track. I don't follow Robing Thicke at all but i think his style and FP's blend great on that "Switch" remix. 2 only work with established artists would be silly. -
I don't get mad when i hear about kids totally feeling his stuff. When i hear little kids say they like poison like Eminem and G-Unit, i shake my head in disappointment. FP makes music 4 the people...and most walks of life can relate 2 it. After all, i listened 2 JJ+FP as a kid. I grew up 2 be a pretty smart and positive person. It scares me that young kids can embrace a negative person like 50 Cent cuz i can see how that could effect their thoughts and behavior.

LL COOL J - Hush Man, this song dosen't get old.
-
Yeah, i'm a firm believer that u are as young as u think u are. Some people who hit 25 start thinking they are getting old and think that they should be at a certain place in their lives, then they get stressed and let society say who they SHOULD be. I'm just a young, carefree person. I don't let things change me and the way i am. I have alot of younger friends and i click with them the same way i click with older people. I work out and take care of myself so i'm hoping 2 look 30 when i'm 40. :hilarious:

He dose know about this site, so i like 2 think he's seen this board. I don't think he spend alot of time on the internet becuz of his lifestyle, but he dose get online.

have ya'll seen the Wicked Wisdom website?
JumpinJack AJ replied to *mimi*'s topic in Caught in the Middle
I'm just gonna repeat what i said in that Wicked Wisdom post on the FP board. Wicked Wisdom becoming a part of Ozzfest is just stupid. If they want 2 expand their fanbase, they aren't going to do it there. They could be booed and even a victim of violence. WW could jump as an opener 4 any of these big summer concerts but Ozzfest is just silly. -
My prayers go out 2 her.

Jada's band website Wicked Wisdom
JumpinJack AJ replied to The Bossman's topic in Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
Well, i'm voice my opinion that Wicked Wisdom being a part of Ozzfest is a stupid idea. If they are trying 2 get their name out there, Ozzfest isn't the place 2 go and put it out there. They won't be expanding their audience. I don't see your typtical Ozzfest-goer liking them and going out 2 get the record. I think they'll only get booed and put themselves in danger. I agree that if the board waz closed, the people behind the site are playing themselves. Mods should do their job and ban people. If u just close the board, u have lost the fight. -
Did anybody expect "Switch" to do THIS well?
JumpinJack AJ replied to Big Willie Style's topic in Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
I definitly expected more. It's a hit, but it dosen't stand out much as a hit. I can point out 10 other recrods that are doing alot better than it. I'm expecting the next single 2 go further than "Switch." I just think it's hard 4 him 2 undo the work don't by Columbia, which is why it's so hard 2 get his records and videos out there. -
JAY-Z ON BIG WILLIE STYLE
JumpinJack AJ replied to JumpinJack AJ's topic in Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
Yeah, he has jewelry how. But how often can someone talk about something like that. That's why i say alot of his songs are empty, cuz they talk about irrelevant stuff like ice. That's wack 2 me. And of all the people who buy his albums actually are dripping with diamonds?!? I'm saying that even if i thought Jay-Z had real skill, i wouldn't be able 2 relate 2 him which would bore me. When i listen 2 FP's music, i can releate 2 it, when i listen 2 LL Cool J or Speech, i'm click with what they have 2 say. They actually talk about stuff in their music. And i'm not saying that music isn't real just becuz i personally can't relate 2 it. But like i said, how many of the people who have bought his albums can say they relate 2 most of his songs? My reality is based around love, friends, comedy, working, spirituality, etc. When i hear someone talk about diamonds, cars, sexing as many ladies as possible, drugs, drinking, guns, and violence...that dosen't speak 2 me. It's not like i don't know drug dealers or havn't gotten in a fight or wasn't in a position where i could have been shot, but music like that still dosen't speak 2 me. When i used 2 write alot, i didn't really put that stuff in my music. -
The thing is, Born To Reign wazn't a "Will Smith" album. It waz Will Smith Introducing/Featruing Tra-Knox. I think the reason people don't like B2R is becuz of his experimenting with different sounds. But alot of people wanna tack that on Tra-Knox. Their style of music isn't what B2R is. If they got their own music out, it wouldn't sound like B2R at all. Listen 2 them on "I'm Comin'"...they sound great. And when i saw them live, that's when i knew they were the truth.

Wow! This sounds very cool. I think this show will be a great outlet 2 bring real Hip-Hop and spiritualality in2 people's homes. It'll also be a great way 2 promote the album. Look what those MTV reality shows have done for Jessica Simpson and Ashlee Simpson.
