JOHN LEGEND - Stay With You

I wouldn't consider the song a hit yet. It still has ways 2 go.

Man, u really don't get this. The whole point of this post is 2 make up what FP is saying while making that face. It's just a silly way 2 see who can get the funniest quote.

NIVEA - Landromat

Thanx!! It's always a pleasure 2 read stuff like this.

What's kinda funny is that it's grown in2 2 different music styles. I always talk about the difference between Hip-Hop music and Rap music, but it's gotten so outta hand that there should be 2 seperate sections in music stores 4 them...different radio stations 2 listen 2. Think about it, music fans who don't require a high standard for what music they listen 2 can listen 2 the Rap station filled with alot of artists who have no talent or intellegence. Back 2 back commercial hits from G-Unit, Lil' Jon, Chingy, Ja-Rule, The Game, and so on. Hip-Hop heads would then have a station where they could tune in2 people like LL Cool J, A Tribe Called Quest, Shock-G, Black Eyed Peas, and of course FP. They really aren't the same kinds of music anymore.

I've never heard of him until they talked about the "Switch" remix. However, i think "Fall Again" is one of the best Michael Jackson songs ever.

So this is the kinda people Dr. Dre works with these days? No wonder Snoop wanted 2 work with me so badly.

I contacted the person/people in charge of the board over there saying that they need an active moderator over there. I also let them know i did it for 3 years when he waz with Columbia. Alot of those people in charge of those sites aren't active so i don't even expect a reply...but i figured it waz worth a try.

SALT-N-PEPA + EN VOGUE - Whatta Man (Luvbug Remix) BORN JAMERICANS - Send My Love (Send One Your Love)

I agree with pretty much all of that. Commercial Rap is a disgrace and i think in some of those comment, Chuck D is giving most of them 2 much credit even tho' he's dissing them. I don't see how someone like Nelly could say they look up 2 old skool legends like Public Enemy and then make the kinda music they make. That's just fake. If u love Hip-Hop, u'd be original and u'd wanna take the music 2 the next level. If u aren't doing that, then u are spitting on the name of Hip-Hop. That's why i don't respect 50 Cent, D12, G-Unit, and so many others. They don't care about it, they don't care about the music they make, they just wanna be famous and make money.

I don't see anything really wrong with it 4 the most part. As an actor myself, i've had a handful of stage kisses and some of them are okay...and some of them are magical...ha ha. It's hard 2 keep your lips off somebody u have insane chemistry with and u already have 2 kiss them...but i'll stop my story there. It's showbiz, i wouldn't take it 2 seriously. Besides, since i've been thru' that, i can point out crazy chemistry and i don't think FP and Eva really have chemistry like that.

Well, apparently FP saw something in various artists that made him wanna work with them. I really don't see him working with somebody just 2 help sales...his mind dosen't work like that. I'm thinkin' he may have met certain artists b4 and got 2 know them, which made him wanna work with them. In 2002, FP threw that "Will Smith + Friends" even during the All-Star Game week and he had Ludacris headline it.

TRICK DADDY, LIL' KIM, + CEE LO - Sugar I'm not a big fan of any of them, but i love this song!!

Thanx U!! Thank U!! Thank U!!

By the way, their talking in the beginning isn't on the actual song. It's just a voice over they did 4 the video.

i got hyped 4 a second...but if u look closer "Summertime" is the JJ+FP song on it.

DMX - Get At Me Dog New skool gritty street stuff at it's best.

Well, since all of them but Petey Pablo are producers, maybe that's all they contributed...not lyrics. I prefer hearing Ludacris producing rather than rapping. I'd like 2 hear FP over a Kanye West beat, but i think he's overrated.

THANX!!!

I think i've posted this b4, but i think now most of the people on this board will agree with FP 100%. Here's a very short part of the interview he did with Playboy in their December 2001 issue. --- PLAYBOY: What do you think of the hard-edged rap being made now? Could you see yourself doing that kind of music? PRINCE: I have to live as who i am. I create the music that's in my heart. I talk about the things i feel, and i am in a position that a lot of guys aren' in. I don't have to rap for money. I make what i want the way to make it. It's hard for me to outwardly condemn people for trying to feed their families. PLAYBOY: Are you concerned withsome of the messages in these songs? PRINCE: The bottom line is that a lot of people who have been blessed with this forum aren't really smart. I have educated myself beyond a lot of my peers in the rap world, and, more than anything, here's my beef: Iunderstand what you are saying and what you feel, but the world is begger than what you are rapping about. Just rap about more topics in your world. You mean to tell me, all day long, all you do is smoke blunts, have sex and kill people? You never do anything else? You have never one time in your life really liked somebody, never been soft and acted spun-out over some girl? You never sat outside some girl's house hoping she isn't with somebody when she comes home? Let me hear that story. PLAYBOY: Yor're saying that too much rap is one-sided? PRINCE: Absolutely. We were in a village in Mozambique. Jay-Z and Tupac were scribbled on the walls of a shack with no running water and no electricity. Rap music is black America's contribution to the world, and that is who people around the world thing black Americans are. They represent me. I have less of a problem with Eminem. He isreally creative but so far over the top that it's clearly a farce. Eminem isn't trying to make people believe that's really how he lives his life every day. Eminem is silly, having a good time, and he doesn't affect my community. PLAYBOY: Whose work do you most admire? PRINCE: There are alot of guys underground who have skillz, but Jay-Z is the most talented mainstream Hip-Hop lyricist. I just think there are more topics he could explore. He is smart, so i know he will. --- I just like what he says in those few sentences. He totally puts it out there how Eminem really dosen't get 2 him and how Em really isn't representing real Hip-Hop heads or even makes reality based music. He talks about the lack of subject matter in mainstream Rap, which is something nearly everybody falls victim 2 (Nelly, Ja-Rule, Ludacris, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, The Game, G-Unit, Chingy, Lil' Jon). It also shows that he keeps his ear open 2 underground Hip-Hop which i thought is very cool since it has 2 be hard 2 be a huge Hollywood star, family man, and still get down with the non-mainstream Hip-Hop.

Thanx!! They need 2 stop using those BWS promo pix tho.' I'm surprised AOL didn't tag it like they usually do.

Very cool!!!

Thanx 4 that!
