I really really really wanna be wrong on this...but i have a feeling he waz meaning that they were working 2gether on FP's new "solo" album.

I hate 2 say it, but there's a chance u are gonna run in2 stuff like this a few times in life. Not 2 knock anyone's dreams of finding that perfect person when u are young...but don't even say u think someone is "the one" until u are like 20-something. When i waz 18 i had a girl do similar things 2 me...execpt it lasted nearly a year. After are final break, i just surrounded myself in friends and realized just how good i had it. Of course shortly afterwards, she wanted me back but i never did go back. I eventually hooked up with another girl a few months later (even tho' a part of my young heart waz still with this other girl). It's funny, cuz this past summer (6 years after all that drama), we ran in2 each other at a bar where my friend's band plays. She of course waz all over me and trying 2 get back with me. I flirted a lil' but would never go back 2 her. We can always be friends. The girl i got with waz even worse than the one i just talked about. This girl waz very 'hood...very ghetto, which waz what i needed. I came up in a very 'hood upbringing and for that year or so, i had kinda gotten away from that. So this next girl waz very 'hood which waz just a very familiar thing 2 me. However, after about a year, she really screwed my life up in ways i won't dare imagin. I believe in giving people a 2nd chance even tho' that's very risky. Things eventually got better...but about a year after that, just when things finally felt perfect and i waz thinking about the next level, she messed up again. How would u feel throwing 3 years down the drain!!! My point is this, as much as u can fall 4 someone, never sell yourself out. U don't wanna come out of a relationship saying 2 yourself "man, i wish i would have done this when i waz with her." Never desided 2 NOT do something u wanna do 4 a girl (unless it's reasonable) cuz u could be missing some amazing things in life just 2 keep her happy. Whenever i've had a girl leave me or loose interest in me, i've never missed a beat. It might hurt, but i just keep movin' on, hanging out with other friends. Waiting around and being upset is just silly. If u wanna feel alot better about yourself, IM me and i'll tell u my biggest heartache of all. It's amazing how things can be perfect and next thing u know, a girl who u thought waz so respectable and flawless can pull some Jerry Springer type stuff 2 make your whole world crazy. This event is barely over a year old and i still think about this girl everyday...and let's just say she's living a lie and that ALOT of people in our circle of friends know it. Girls are crazy and lots of the time, they make stupid decisions when it comes 2 guys (no offense ladies). That's just the way it is.

I think Jermaine Dupri is one of the most underrated and misunderstood people in Hip-Hop. U don't have 2 love him, but he's got lots of old skool ties and high standards 4 production which u don't find anymore. I'm very excited 2 hear the track. TLC and Run-DMC have both basically retired as groups...so i think this a perfect event for them 2 do something. Both have ties 2 So So Def camp so it makes sense. Usher, well, he's only one of the biggest superstars in the world right now....u can't go wrong there (hate on him if u really feel it's necessary). He states that it would be pretty much impossible 2 recreate a song like that, but he seems 2 have HUGE plans 4 it. JD masterminded that 'What's Goin' On" remake in 2001 and if it's anything like that, i totally support him.

I listened 2 it 2day. It's a nice party time track 4 this time of year. Other than during December and January, i hardly ever listen 2 the track. It's definitly a dope music video tho'!!

xzibit mentions Will in new song...
JumpinJack AJ replied to *mimi*'s topic in Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
I remember liking more of his late 90's stuff. The production waz better and his subject matter waz more relavant. Alot of his newer stuff seems 2 have fallin' in2 a similar pattern of filler trax. Boring beats and unfocused, irrelevant lyrics. I haven't heard all of his stuff so i'm only going off what i have heard. I got this Man Vs. Machine album at a real cheap price and only listned 2 it once. I didn't really haven't anything on it that made me put it back in. -
Jay Z and Usher For Band Aid 20 USA? Following the massive Number 1 success of Band Aid 20's rerecording of ‘Do They Know It's Christmas?’ Xfm can report that a new version of the American equivalent, USA For Africa's ‘We Are The World’ is now being planned. The original US version 'We Are The World' was recorded by Quincy Jones in January 1985 and included Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Lionel Ritchie, Tina Turner and Cyndi Lauper. Now MTV reports that legendary TLC, Run DMC, Usher, Snoop Dogg and Outkast producer Jermaine Dupri is planning on re-recording the track, with a new contemporary line up and sound. "All new artists [will be on this version], it's the 20th anniversary of 'We Are the World’ Quincy Jones called me, he asked me to do it,” Dupri explained at the Grammy nominations earlier this week (December 7). “We're just gonna make it something extravagant. We gonna try to re-create, follow in the footsteps of those who made a big record before, like Michael [Jackson], Quincy and Lionel Richie." Dupri went on to explained than the new song was going to be retitled 'We Are The Future’ and he plans to record his version of the song on February 13 2005, the night of the Grammy Awards themselves. The plan is to take all the artists involved straight into A&M Recording Studios following the ceremony (the studios played host to the original session in 1985). As for who is being lined up to appear, Dupri only revealed a a few names saying, "Hopefully Usher will be there, Kanye [West], Jay-Z hopefully, all the bigwigs." He added that the new version would be markedly different from the Quincy Jones original, although he hoped it would strike a similar chord with the American public. In terms of the sound of the track, the producer intends to retain the original spirit and scope of the original, while updating the style. "Usually I didn't go for them sappy type of songs", he explained, “You hear them and be like, 'OK.' You know what it's for, but it ain't nothing I would ride around and listen to in my car. "But ‘We Are the World’ struck me as something. It was a big record, and the way they did it was huge because they played it around the world simultaneously. It just became one of them type of records. "It's difficult for us to duplicate what happened, but at least we gonna try to come close to it. The artists are the key to the whole situation. I hope the artists hear me and want to be a part of it." http://www.xfm.co.uk/Article.asp?id=57477

NEW EDITION - Re-Write The Memories Man, this song is amazing. It's one of the few songs that totally belongs on their album. Bad Boys standards when it came 2 production dissapointed me. But this song, along with a few others, keep that NE spirit strong on the album.

Dr. Suess waz a genious.

JumpinJack AJ replied to *mimi*'s topic in Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
Xzibit waz a different emcee when he 1st came out. I liked maybe half of his stuff. It wazn't always my kinda music but i liked it. He's slowly changed in wayz that make my lose interest in his newer stuff. I think he's really funny on Pimp My Ride tho.' U see his real self acting all goofy and stuff instead of acting hard. -
BRANDY - Like It Was Yesterday I can totally relate 2 this song...i had 2 trade Tim 2 get the Australian version of the "Talk About Our Love" 2 get this b-side. The song talks about being part of a couple that waz simply met 2 be...but things changed around them and things fell apart. And even tho' all this time has passed, it seems like things feel apart just yesterday and that it would be easy 2 pick up right where they left off becuz the love waz that perfect.
-
What r u talking about!?! Dr. Suess could seriously beat most of the rappers ever...seriously. Fresh Prince has always credited Dr. Suess as an inspiration.

Don't newer fans hear old trax like this and realized that even mid-90's G-Funk is 100 times better than this current stuff. There's no excuse 4 so-called rap fans 2 not demand stuff better than the light weight, non-lyrical trash on the radio. Right now i'm listening 2 the LL COOL J "G.O.A.T. Sneak Peak MegaMix"

WARREN G + NATE DOGG - Regulate U gotta love it when stuff like this gets played on the radio.

Wes isn't an old skool fan as in "Girls Ain't Nothing But Trouble"...he's an old skool as in getting in2 JJ+FP thru' Big Willie Style, quickly skooling himself on past music, and being one of the main people in the Will Smith/JJ+FP fan community.

what are you looking forward to?
JumpinJack AJ replied to Hero1's topic in Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
bagotrasho...that's what your opinions are 2 me...a bag o' trash. What's your deal?? First u post a bunch of posts with stupid topics, and now u are knocking FP's current projects. -
2 all the "new" people, Wes is an old skool Jazzy Jeff + Fresh Prince fan who had a great (now defunt) website and totally disappeared off the face of the web a year and a half ago.
-
Welcome back!! It's been a long tyme!! It's great seeing u back...just in tyme 4 JJ+FP's return on the next Will Smith album. Wes is back in da house!!! :rock: :switch: :rock:
-
I waz thinkin' the same thing...but u can't expect Eminem 2 be that intellegent. After all, wrote and then recorded "Just Lose It." All of Vanillia Ice's music is better than that track.
-
I didn't think "Guys Ain't Nothing But Trouble" waz bad at all.
-
I waz gonna suggest ebay for movie posters...but none of them are black and white.

2 PAC & JADA - PARENTS JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
JumpinJack AJ replied to fan 4ever's topic in Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
Obviously...how many songs do u know word 4 word by artists u don't like. :roll: Remember, 2Pac came up in the late 80's and mostly early 90's as a roadie for Digital Underground and then joined the group. 2Pac waz down with that whole golden age of Hip-Hop...YEARS b4 the The Chronic influended nearly every artist 2 change their game and make all new artists sell out themselves. -
Yeah, i really like club music. These days it only exists in remixes of popular songs. Other than that, it's all underground. The 90's were great for mainstream club music. I really miss that.

everything but the girl remix album
JumpinJack AJ replied to Hero1's topic in Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
That's cool, i'll have 2 pick that up. Here in the US, Everything But The Girl were basically one-hit wonders. Their mid-90's song "Missing You" or whatever is dope. I love that song...they had some minor hits after that, but they were pretty much wiped off the face of the earth according 2 the US after that.
