E! had a special on Jamie Foxx's career and as they approached 'Ray,' they said FP waz a big inspiration 4 how seriously Jamie took the roll. FP took Jamie aside and said he needed 2 quit hanging out late and partying so much and start concentrating hard on the roll, which lead 2 him studying every possible thing he could, just like FP did for ALI. FP told him not 2 blow this chance of a lifetime. While they spent 15 seconds (give or take) about FP, they showed some recent clips of him performing LIVE. I'm sure they were from some of those recent JJ+FP shows. I'm sure E! will re-run it sometime soon...so check 4 it.

I have yet 2 catch it. Most of the trax on there sound good tho.' I waz just listening 2 "What They Do" yesterday. It's my favorite song by The Roots. Speech is another one of my favorite artists.

FAITH + PUFFY - All Night Long THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G + R. KELLY - Loving You Tonight I'm got Bad Boy's R&B Hits CD/DVD 2day. I've never been a big fan of Bad Boy stuff but they do have a bulk of stuff i really like so i had 2 pick this up. It's amazing how they put 2gether and R&B Hits disc and none of the trax on it really belong on it. What about all the trax by Carl Thomas, Faith, 112, Mario Winans, and Total?!?! They skipped over all that stuff 2 fill it with trax featuring Mase, Biggie, Puffy that featured R-N-B artists on them. They didn't even put the best songs, they put on the minor hits. The only track that truly fit waz Faith + Carl Thomas' "Can't Believe" but they put on a version featuring a rap by Shyne who i think think has zero talent. I'm amazed just how igornant the people at Bad Boy are.

Yeah, Da 'Prince and Jamie Foxx have been good friends since b4 the Big Willie Style era.

:dunno: I don't think this is anything new. I totally agree with what Freddie Foxx said tho.' U have millions of starving actors with skillz just trying 2 get that big break. But people casting these movie will cast some trendy rapper in the spot who has very few, if any skillz in acting (much less music!). FP, LL, Latifah, 2Pac, Ice Cube, and so on actually work on their craft and take acting seriously. They deserve the success they get...but when u see Ludacris in a movie...is he really doing it 4 the art or is he doing it 4 the money and Hollywood fame. If u are doing something strictly 4 the money, it shows cuz your art will suck. FP dosen't do it 4 the money and he always puts out good stuff. Most of the rappers in the top 10 do it just 4 the money, which shows cuz their music isn't any good.

Is FP going bald?!?! Dose G-Unit make good music?!? I, myself think FP is going 2 grow a Mullet.

...featuring Marilyn Manson :kekeke:

And i'll add that "Buggin'" is ill. I didn't notice that Jay-Z wrote it, but that waz b4 i thought he waz wack. Everybody should give that Bug Bunny + Looney Tunes "Buggin'" track a listen. It's dope and really silly.

50 years from now, nobody will look back on this era of Hip-Hop and remember much. Maybe Black Eyed Peas and OutKast. People like 50 Cent may be hot now...but their music and careers are disposable and everything will be 4gotten. Nobody's gonna look back at people like him like Rakim, Public Enemy, 2pac and so on.

ERIC B. + RAKIM - Paid In Full (the delux edition)

FP isn't going bald. He has just grown up. He's no longer the skinny, goofy kid he waz. The high-top Philly fade has been modefied. Nothing more 2 it than that.

Very cool!! Thanx 4 that!!

Yeah, that stuff is no secret. It sad 2 see a pioneers creative juices go dry.

CASE - Missing You

Basically...that sounds about right.

1/6 to scale custom-made Will Smith head!! JUST WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED!! :scared2:

FP intended 2 get this album out, he just isn't focused on it anymore...at least not right now. He'll do it when he's ready. kbfprince, what's the deal with your avatar?!?

Back in 2000, Dr. Dre made the comment that Willennium waz the worst Hip-Hop album out at the moment. I didn't hear it or read it, but someone else did and posted it. He waz either piggy-backing off all the hype Eminem caused with his line in "Real Slim Shady," or like Eminem, waz offended by FP's speech at the MTV Award show where he waz stressing that he always stayed true 2 himself and didn't need 2 kill nobody in his music 2 get where he is. If u are a loser like Eminem and get offended by a comment like that and take it personal 2 the point that u react 2 it, it clearly shows u are not being true 2 yourself. Only someone no confident in themseles and their music would act like that. What a punk.

I like that idea. I like also think it would be hilarous if Slick Rick played the old lady in the song by slightly changing his voice!! :roll:

I feel u on that. Dr. Dre helped put things down 4 Hip-Hop back in the day. He should have more respect 4 the culture and the music. He's grown up...all that phoney gun-talk, and talk about girls and stuff is so fake. He knows life is much more than all that petty stuff that he records about. He needs 2 either grow up or retire. It's like he graduated from the game, but purposly stayed in 1st grade.

I agree that "Summertime" is an untouchable classic. However, if JJ+FP did a remake album, i think they probably would remake it...so i had 2 put it on there.

BOYZ II MEN - Human II (Don't Turn Your Back On Me)

These are the ones i sent... How do you feel about the commercial state of Hip-Hop? What do you feel are the best songs you've recorded in your career? Would you ever consider a DJ Jazzy Jeff + Fresh Prince reunion album and tour? In the future, do you see yourself working more behind the scenes of music or film? Off all the music and movie awards you've earned, which one means the most? Is there anything about your career that you wish you could do over? How do you feel about the time you spent signed to Columbia Records?

I would kill for JJ+FP 2 basically start from scratch with keeping the bulk of the lyrics the same, and the some feel 2 the production in mind, but 2 totally remake all these trax 4 an album. JJ+FP: REmakes 1. New Kids On The Block/Brand New Funk feat. Ready Rock C 2. As We Go 3. Rock The House feat. Ready Rock C 4. The Things U Do 5. Just Rockin' feat. Run + DMC 6. I'm Looking For The One (To Be With Me) 7. Numero Uno feat. LL Cool J 8. The Groove feat. The Roots 9. Just Kickin' It 10. U Saw My Blinker 11. I Wanna Rock - Pump Me Up Medley 12. It's All Good 13. Potnas feat. Ready Rock C 14. A Touch of Jazz (with FP on the mic) 15. Summertime feat. Tatyana Ali (on the hook) 16. Live At Union Square (November 2004)

I think most of JJ+FP's recordings would be interesting if they were remade. If had a choice of about 16 trax (about the length of an album), what songs would u like 2 hear totally remade from scratch...mostly the same lyrics and a few signature sounds from the original production, but totally re-done 4 the current year.
