JumpinJack AJ

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm hoping that moderators will show up and do their job.

Last, but not least, here is a pic from yesterday (how's that 4 current!?). Me and some friends were up at High Rock, which is basically a big rock a the top of a mountain. From it, u can see 3 states (MD, PA, + DE). It's simply amazing up there...and it's really cool that it's like 30 minutes away from where i live. It's just a few minutes away from Camp David, the Presidential Retreat.

Here's me 2 Friday's ago...chillin' with a few friends at TGIFridays for my b-day. If u want very average food and service, Friday's is the place 2 go.

Here's a pic of me right after i picked up Lost + Found. Keep in mind this is after i waited 20 minutes 2 find someone 2 open up the boxes with the new releases. THEN i stood in line for over half an hour cuz nobody waz working at midnight. I look a lil' dishoveled...but i finally got back 2 the car and popped the CD in.

CIARA + LUDACRIS - Oh I don't really like this song much...but i'm listening 2 it anyway. U have no idea how freaked out i waz when i found out that former A Touch of Jazz producers made this track. I can't believe they made a song this bad. I got her album tho'...and her single choices suck...cuz this girl can actually SING!! U just wouldn't know unless u got her album.

:bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl: That's only HILARIOUS becuz it's so true. I see tons of white kids between the ages of 8 and 13 wearing G-Unit stuff in the mall all the time. Nobody else wears it. U know how FP said that he felt he waz neglecting Trey when his teacher said he wazn't good at grabbing on2 the concept of rhyming?? Well, i think he's neglecting Jaden by allowing him 2 wear G-Unit gear. :nono:

MC Lyte waz gonna drop an album on Overbrook 2 but since they lost their distribution deal, they let her go. I bet her album on Overbrook would have been better than her Underground Heat album. Breeze's album never came out either. From what i heard on the WWW soundtrack and Willennium, they had skillz.
