The funny thing about Loon waz that even tho' he is incredibly wack, he waz probably the biggest talent in that awful group Harlem World. I don't see many other people wanting 2 sign him.

I'll answer this when i'm on my death bed...but this is what i'll be going by. If i do great things in this life, change my friends lives, change my community, my country, etc, i'd want it 2 go Hollywood. Cuz i think that kind of movie would inspire the people and i'd want it 2 impact the world. If my life is nothing but a good time, then i'd go with the indie-release.

That is hilarious!

Ahhh....and here's a beauty!! This one goes out 2 Tim. :kekeke: Me singing No Doubt's "Just A Girl" at a Christmas party 3 years ago.

"Me And The Shop Vac"

"Me On A Horse"

"Me At The Park"

Here's a series of stupid pix of me. This one i call "Me In A Trash Can."

Yeah, i read that Loon left Bad Boy on mtv.com a little bit ago. The only artists on Bad Boy i ever really liked were Craig Mack, Faith, Carl Thomas, 112, and Total (even tho' their voices were kinda limited).

Yeah, the Behind The Music special really showed some bitterness about One Love from the guys. Even if the album wazn't their best, it waz still good. It's nice knowing that they guys feel the same way. Bad Boy is bad news. They didn't control NE as much as they could have, but they did enuff 2 make it their weakest. BBD waz supposed 2 drop another album shortly after their 2001 album. I wouldn't mind if that came out 1st.

Opps! I gotta admit, i liked 3 totally different movies from FP coming out just months apart...but he needs 2 milk this album 4 all he can. We've been waiting 4 it 4ever...he can't just abandon it.

Oh, that's a good one...got me in the mood 2 put 2gether a Destiny Child mixCD 4 the summertime. Right now i'm gettin' down 2 the Japan exclusive... MYA - Moodring

YES!!! This is music 2 my ears!! This also restores my faith in NE, not that it dwindled 2 much. "One Love" is a good album, but 1996's "Home Again" is one of the best R-N-B albums of all time...and "One Love" is not. Bad Boy really messed their album up. The production waz just there the way it should have been, but that statement about Puffy messing with the producers and over looking (oh lawd) Jimmy Jam + Terry Lewis. How u gonna overlook JJ+TL and them put Bad Boys producers all over the album. It's great that they are gonna hit the studio again..not another long gap between albums. Hopefully they get Bobby on this one.

Since the album waz done the way it waz, it dose need 2 sell. If he did the album on a low-kep tip, i wouldn't care about it's sales at all...but things need 2 pick up. He better not pull a Born To Reign. "Black Suits Comin'" waz a movie/soundtrack song and they used it 4 the 1st single!! That waz awful. And then, after the album had absolutely no hype behind it 4 a long time, he drops "1,000 Kisses"....it just didn't make sense. Willennium is the only album he's done where the videos came out one after the other.

I can't believe their waz confusion on that lyric! :kekeke: It's cool tho'...there's proably a JJ+FP lyric that i didn't get at 1st. Actually, i do remember one. One time i waz listen 2 "I Wanna Rock" sometime in 1996. And i noticed how FP says "Jeff, is there anything less u wanna say 2 the crowd" and realized that he waz saying that since he's a DJ, he dosen't have 2 say anything, he can just scratch it and sample it in a song. Just one of those lyrics u overlook and realize what it means alot later.

I came across this story on AOL News. This is simply amazing. ----------------------------------------------- Buffalo Fireman Regains Long-Lost Memories Speaks to Family After 10 Years of Silence By ROBERT D. McFADDEN, The New York Times AP Donald Herbert was 34 when he rushed into a burning apartment building on Dec. 29, 1995. A Buffalo firefighter who apparently suffered brain damage in a 1995 burning roof collapse and has since been virtually silent and nearly blind had a sudden unexplained recovery on Saturday, animatedly speaking to family and friends and trying to recover a lost decade. "How long have I been gone?" the puzzled firefighter, Donald Herbert, 44, asked in a 14-hour marathon of hugs, kisses, reunions and conversations with his wife, four sons, other relatives and old firefighter comrades. "We told him almost 10 years, and he said 'Holy cow!' " Simon A. Manka, his uncle, recalled yesterday. "He thought it had been three months." In a news conference at Father Baker Manor, a skilled nursing home in the Buffalo suburb of Orchard Park, where Mr. Herbert has been a patient for seven years, Mr. Manka said his nephew - who has passed most days in a wheelchair in front of a television set - abruptly returned to life and "began to speak after nine and a half years of silence." Pending medical tests, Mr. Manka said, the extent and the probable duration of Mr. Herbert's recovery are unknown. "However, we can tell you he did recognize several family members and friends and did call them by name." It happened out of the blue Saturday morning, a nursing home employee said. "I want to talk to my wife," Mr. Herbert was quoted as saying. A staff member called his wife, Linda, but it was his youngest son, Nicholas, 13, who picked up the phone and began speaking. "That can't be," Mr. Herbert said. "He's just a baby. He can't talk." Nicholas was indeed a toddler when Mr. Herbert, then a 34-year-old member of a fire rescue squad, rushed into a burning two-and-a-half story apartment building in Buffalo on the morning of Dec. 29, 1995. He wore a breathing mask against heavy smoke and was searching the attic for victims when the roof collapsed. Buried under flaming debris, Mr. Herbert was knocked unconscious and, according to reports at the time, went six minutes without oxygen before other firefighters pulled him free. They carried him out a window and down a ladder, and he was taken to Erie County Medical Center in critical condition. Mr. Herbert, who had rescued two adults and two small children in a 1990 fire and had many citations for bravery, had severe head trauma as well as prolonged oxygen deprivation and remained in a coma for two and a half months. An avalanche of cards and letters, meanwhile, was delivered to his wife and sons, Donny, 14; Tom, 13; Patrick, 11; and the baby Nicholas. News articles at the time described Mr. Herbert as a dedicated family man, coaching his children's soccer and baseball teams, taking them hunting and fishing. Fellow firefighters rallied around the family, helping with the boys, with shopping, with financial help. The outpouring of support included a benefit party, organized by firefighters and other well-wishers, at the Memorial Auditorium in Buffalo. Thousands attended, and tens of thousands of dollars were raised. While Mr. Herbert regained consciousness in 1996, his speech was slurred, he was unable to eat without assistance, he was confined to a bed or a wheelchair and his vision was reduced to a series of blurs. Doctors said that they had found no damage to the optic nerves, but that the part of the brain that controls vision appeared to have been damaged. Moreover, Mr. Herbert's memory seemed all but nonexistent. He could not say how old he was or what his job had been. He seemed unable to recognize family members and friends, and firefighting comrades had become virtual strangers. In 1999, a year after he was moved to the nursing home, Linda Herbert prevailed in a brief legal fight with Mr. Herbert's parents, Geraldine and Donald P. Herbert, over who should have control over decisions in a medical emergency, like pneumonia or a serious infection. All agreed that extraordinary resuscitative measures should not be taken in the event of a stroke or a heart attack. But Mr. Herbert's condition remained stable over the years. "He would sit in a wheelchair in front of a TV with no awareness," Linda Herbert's mother, Mary Blake, said yesterday. "He could say yes or no, but he could not put words together or talk back if people asked him a question. Most days, he just sat silently." On Saturday, as word of Mr. Herbert's progress spread, a stream of visitors arrived at Father Baker Manor for joyous reunions with a man who had seemed lost to them. For a stretch of 14 hours, Mr. Manka said, Mr. Herbert spoke with people and asked questions, especially about his sons: Donny, now 24, and Thomas, 23, both in graduate school; Patrick, 21, a college student, and Nicholas, 13, a schoolboy but hardly the infant his father remembered. "He wouldn't go to sleep," said Ms. Blake. "He stayed up all night talking to his sons." Mr. Manka, a lawyer, said in a telephone interview that his nephew's apparent recovery struck everyone as amazing. "He was completely different," he said. "He was asking questions, and he'd recognize a voice. When somebody came in the room, he'd say the name before anyone told him who it was. He was the same for nine years, and then all of a sudden he started talking." Patrick J. Coghlan, who was the lieutenant in charge of Mr. Herbert's rescue squad on the night of the roof collapse and who retired in 1999, remembered years of all-but-fruitless visits by colleagues to the nursing home, with Mr. Herbert sitting quietly, seemingly unable to respond. On Sunday, he said, Mr. Herbert recognized the voices of his comrades and, while he could not see them, identified members of his old crew. No one had an explanation. "We don't know what to make of it," Mr. Manka said. "The doctors haven't finished their evaluation. The doctors are cautiously optimistic, and so are we." "We have no idea how it happened," Ms. Blake said. "There are more people praying for this young man, so it's all in God's hands. Even if we had him for just one day, we'd be eternally grateful." (David Staba contributed reporting from Buffalo for this article.)

Oh, let me get down on this. LEVEL 1: Smoke as much weed as possible LEVEL 2: Make as much wack music as possible. LEVEL 3: Sex as many nasty ho's as possible. LEVEL 4: Shoot as many people as possible. LEVEL 5: Lyrical battle with with an 8 year old girl from Alaska. (50 looses by default).

Just cuz a movie goes in2 production dosent' mean the actual shooting will start...or at least his shooting. Half the time, movie schedules get delayed. On top of that, what's the source?

"My Melody" is probably my favorite Eric B. + Rakim song, but i never really thought of it that way. FP has said a few times Rakim is the best emcee of all time (as many people would agree) and that he'd never wanna battle him. I agree that if the line waz influenced by that song, it waz done to pay homage 2 him. However, that line strikes me as one that Kel Spencer came up with. It just sounds like his lyrics.

BRIAN GREEN + BLACK EYED PEAS - That's Right

Yeah, i wouldn't take things seriously from a guy who is so bitter at the rap game.

Right after i saw JJ+FP in the summer of 2002, i got really sick. I got strep throat and my tonscles were HUGE. My throat waz smaller than the size of a corner. I couldn't even breathe right cuz it hurt so bad, much less talk. However, i found out that if i talked a certain way, it didn't hurt that much. When i talked that way, i sounded almost exactly as FP in ALI. Everytime i talked, i'd throw in a line from ALI at the end of the sentence and my girlfriend would crack up.

I guess i'd say he's the best. My favorites are DJ Jazzy Jeff, Jam Master Jay, and DJ Premier. I think most of the DJ's on "Break It Down" are amazing, but i just don't follow them.

Listen 2 early Eminem freestyles...some of his early raps were just as fast as Twista's stuff. Parts of Code Red proves FP can hang with the fastest. And check that Busta and Mystical collabo on Busta's "Extinction Level Event." Listen 2 Skee-Lo's 1st and 2nd album. I actually think Twista's voice and some of his flow sounds alot like Skee-Lo. Twista is fast, but there are others who can do what he can do...he just builds his entire style off it.

All i'm gonna say is this, which i've said 100 times. FP is a team player. He's cool with everyone. He's cool with 50 Cent and Nelly, but their music is the same kinda music he disses in songs like "Lost + Found." Forget what your tastes are...that's fact right there. When u are friends with someone, u say good things about them even if something like their talent is lacking. When me and some friends had a Hip-Hop group, one of my friends just didn't have 2 much skill on the mic. His rhymes were good, but his flow waz weak...but of course i didnt' say anything bad about him. Being cool with the people in the industry is different from real friends with someone. Let's put it this way. FP wrote the song "Potnas" for people like Jeff...not for 50 Cent.
