I'm love the music. That's why i've been down with DJ Jazzy Jeff + Fresh Prince since the early years. I want music that will make my laff, think, nod my head, and so on. I want them 2 have success, but i never want the real reason they do what they do 2 suffer 4 something as petty as success. I don't think Petey Pablo has any talent, i think most of the time (not all of it) Ludacris just talks trash in his music. I don't see them making me think or truely enjoying the music. And i defintly don't care if they are used as bait 2 get some trendy fly-by-nite disposable fan 2 buy a Fresh Prince album. I'll give anything a chance, i just don't see people like that bringing anything good 2 his music...only taking away from it. If they make a good track, so be it...but if they ruin it, that'll just be annoying. Besides, if they are used as commercial bait, it's their own fault that they worship the ground that Jay-Z, G-Unit, Chingy, and Lil' Flip walk on. They could just as easily pick up the new De La Soul, Talib Kweli, or Brand Nubian album. Whenever a true skool emcee works with a strictly commercial artist, dose is ever really do any good? No. Gang Starr worked with Jadakiss on their last album...that album never blew up commercially. It happens all the time. If they add 2 the track, cool...if they don't and the crossover never happens, then it's a real shame and a perfectly good song has a few bars with a D-level talent rapper wastin' valuble space a true artist.

Anyone have that pic of the Sesame Street characters smoking, holding guns and knives with really mean faces? I love that pic, havn't seen it in years. I wonder how the companies that produce movies and TV shows feel when they find pix like this from their workers playing around.

Very cool...i like the FP/Code Red one the best.

They eventually over-did their annoying and confusing off-topic posts. They also started sending out hate-Private Messages. :hilarious: I didn't have anything 2 do with it so i don't know details...but a few other people can fill u in if u really wanna know. Nhawong never put anything good in2 this board...i think everyone waz glad 2 see "it" go.

COMMON SENSE - Soul Power

Hmmmm...i think it's often painful 2 watch Ben Affleck on screen. If this happens, i think it'll be just like watching TAXI (loving Queen Latifah, then having the untalented and unfunny Jimmy Fallon ruining the fun).

Ugh...i really don't like the word "hate"...much less songs that dwell on the topic. I can't really think of any songs that haven't been mentioned. Eminem hates females tho'...look 2 him 4 immature, empty, attention-grabbing hate.

GANG STARR - Moment of Truth

Yeah, but at the same time, FP gives props 2 everybody. He dose that "team player" thing and always stays postive. He dosen't try 2 start drama and always finds the right thing 2 say about the other entertainers. He's giving props 2 Ja-Rule, Nelly, 50 Cent, etc. But when u listen 2 his lyrics, they often fit the discription of what he's dissing. The only people he's ever really shunned in music or interviews are Vanilla Ice (who he'd diss on the show and in "Dance or Die"), and Eminem, who, as in most of his career, only started mess 2 gain attention 2 overshadow his disappearing skillz. When FP wants 2 give someone props, he dose in detail like with what he has said about 2Pac, where he went on about his intellegence in rhyme-writing. But when he talked 2 Nelly in that interview, he said something like "you are doing your thing" and i remember him saying something about 50 Cent being "hot." There's a big difference between saying someone his "hot" and going on about their skillz and admeration 4 their music. I've only remember him ever talking about listening to Public Enemy, 2Pac, Dr. Dre, Notorious B.I.G. when it comes 2 Hip-Hop and Rap.

DJ JAZZY JEFF - The Scion BBE Mixtape

The "Hey Sexy Lady" waz originally recorded with all 3 of them (maybe not 2gether...but done as a trio track). Then they desided 2 put out the version without FP's verse, probably cuz B2R just wazn't blazin' up the charts the way it should have. That's why some people are familiar with the Shaggy + Sean Paul only version. I think the chemistry between all of them is insane. I didn't expect much from it, but when i heard it, i waz really surprised, i love that song. I let some of my friend hear it and they love the track.

People who are gonna buy the album for a Petey Pablo or Ludacris colabo aren't the kinda fans FP needs. It's those same idiots who bought millions of copies of Big Willie Style and did NOT by Willennium and Born To Reign. Most of them would download that stuff b4 buying the album anyway. I don't like the idea of him working with them, but i'll keep my fingers crossed that i won't hate the trax cuz of 'em.

I waz just bumpin' this up cuz i'm gonna make this mix CD 2nite and wanted 2 refer 2 this list 4 any songs i might be 4getting.

TALIB KWELI - Never Been In Love Before

It's cool they are mentioned. But i never take this "Greatest..." type lists 2 serious. I don't think any Hip-Hop/Rap fan has an overall appreciation of all styles. Usually people cling on 2 only a few types of Hip-Hop/Rap (old skool, new skool, true skool, hardcore, gangsta, dirty south, commercial, radio-friendly/mainstream, underground, etc). Hip-Hop has grown so much...it's kinda hard 2 hold the same standards 2 an old song that u would hold 2 a new one.

I'm afraid there may be nothing 2 be lost in the translation. Someone's been hanging out with nhawong 2 much.

MIC GERONIMO - Nothin' Move But The Money I liked this song back in 1997 when it dropped but i haven't really heard it since. Well, i found a used copy of the album for only 49 cents 2day!! Ha ha...i had 2 get it. This song is so dope...great production (surprisingly from Bad Boy, tho' i knew that back then). The rest of the album isn't bad either...it actually surprised me. Pete Rock produces a track on it also.

That's cool. My work has those kinda CDs as well...which sux cuz i used 2 make CDs that i could play at work...containing various radio friendly FP trax...but now we don't have control over what we play (except 4 when i bring in my stereo and hook it up 2 the speakers...ha ha).

U 4got MC Lyte, Grover T. Washington, and Zhane. Also, on the production tip, he's worked with Teddy Riley, Trackmasters, Dallas Austin, Pete Rock, Jermaine Dupri, DJ Scratch, Kay-Gee, Somethin' 4 The People, Darkchild, and Kwame. Common Sense co-wrote some songs with FP on Willennium. Nas co-wrote some stuff on Big Willie Style. Warren G produced at least 2 trax for Big Willie Style but none made the album. Big Pun, Camron, R.O.C., and Peter Gunz + Lord Tariq all did work on "Gettin' Jiggy With It" remixes but they didn't come out (except 4 the underground So So Def Remix). FP and Usher planned on doing a song 2gether in 1999...not sure if it ever happened. FP did 1 or 2 songs with Michael Jackson around 1999 as well (most likely produced by Rodney Jerkins) but they never got released.

NEW EDITION - Newness

That waz me ?uestion 2!

1. I, Robot (i just watched it again last nite) 2. Sharktale (may have been number 1 if i didn't watch I, Robot last nite) 3. Ray 4. Spider-Man 2 5. Fat Albert 6. Born Supremacy 7. Honey (from the end of 2003) 8. You Got Served (from the end of 2003) 9. Taxi 10. Without A Paddle I have some DVDs i bought of movies i havn't watched yet like Breaking All The Rules, and White Chicks.

That "Hey Sexy Lady" remix waz done back in 2002. So "Got To Be Real" is the only song u can vote 4 as the "Best Collabo of 2004." Overall, i think "Hey Sexy Lady" waz a better song. FP showed off alot more on the track. And he had great chemistry with Shaggy and Sean Paul. It's just a blazin' song. "Got To Be Real" waz nice, but it waz Mary J's song and FP just showed up 4 1 verse and it just felt peiced-2gether.

Born To Reign waz a good album, it just wazn't the kinda album u drop after making fans wait so long 4 new material. While i'm sure traces of Born To Reign will be on this new album, i think 4 the most part, it waz an experimental move that will stay in that era. With a title like Born To Reign, it definitly should have an album where he proved it, which i don't think he did 4 non-fans. About that Ludacris track...FP has been doin' this for nearly 20 YEARS. People know his style, they know his talent...there's is no reason 4 Ludacris 2 play a part in his come back. Just like when he collaborated with Lil' Kim, it'll leave me scratching my head, if not in tears. I'll give anything a chance, i'm not desiding 2 not like it, i'll make my opinion when i hear the track a few times.

I think someone found your site a few months ago and posted it. Your site always had the best photo gallery. I'd love 2 see it updated!!
