I never heard it on the radio and i only saw the video on TV twice. It wazn't a hit at all. Columbia thought that since they had a huge with "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" that it would be a good idea 2 always market him with radio-friendly party trax 4 the pop fans. I think even the pop fans had enuff of that sound after "...Jiggy..." and "Miami." If they would have pushed 4 a real song with substance 2 be released, it probably would have taken the album further. "Freakin' It" waz originally supposed 2 be the 1st single of "Willennium" but since the album waz droppin' in November and the end of the year waz approaching, they went with "Will 2K" which waz a decent hit...but disposable after New Years. "Afro Angel" waz originally supposed 2 be one of the singles. I think that would have been a better choose and a better repersentation of FP. Columbia waz only giving people one side of him...which got old fast. Showing his other sides (the more important ones) would have taken his music further during the past 2 albums...at least that's what i think.

I think most of the people here agree that "The Rain" and "Act Like You Know" are amongst the best songs of his solo career. They aren't underrated at all...most of us love 'em.

"Da Butta" has a very boring beat that's been done b4. Lil' Kim has zero talent...but FP is good on it. 1 good quality out of 3 is why most of us aren't feeling that track. It waz produced by Kay-Gee who, at the time, waz still in Naughty By Nature, who produced most of their best beats. He could have given FP something much better than that. "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" is a fly party song, the sample is incredible and the carefree and fun lyrics are exactly what u need when starting a party. It dosen't stand up next 2 his better stuff, but it's still a great party track.

No way, "Ring My Bell" is dope!! It's always been one of my favs and waz a sizable hit. I love the lyrics and the production is great (not 2 mention the video). This isn't a JJ+FP song, but i think "Miami" is overrated. It's a pure party/club/dance song. There's nothing wrong with that, i still like the song, but ALOT of commerical fans and even FP fans really love this song. The beat is so boring and disposable. The lyrics and subject matter are just silly. I can't believe the song did as well as it did and that they chose it as BWS's 3rd single/video. That waz my least favorite track on BWS from the 1st listen.

Yeah, that isn't 4 real.

Yeah, Charlie Mack and JJ+FP were close b4 the big fame hit. He waz friends with FP b4 JJ tho.' Up until about 2 years ago, Charlie Mack waz still FP's bodyguard. He just wanted 2 settle down with his family and start his own projects which are tightly knit the community.

I stayed home. Da fam came over 2 my place so i didn't even have 2 leave the house. My and my cousin caught Wayne's World 2 on Comedy Central...that's the most eventful thing about my day. Other than that, i just learned lines 4 the next show.

I've heard the song on the radio but i haven't seen the video. I thought her 1st single "Goodies" waz alright, but the Lil' Jon beat has been done 2 death, and her vocals are kinda light-weight. After the 10th listen, the song waz pretty boring...not 2 mention Petey Pablo's wack verse. I think her new single is a bit better and i'll be sure 2 keep my eyes open 4 the video.

We already know that there are new JJ+FP trax on the next album tho.'

I wonder if that swing came from da south?

I have 2 friends who got the album and they both think it sucks. One of them likes everything he's done in the past and she admits that it's a pretty weak album. My other friend is in2 alot of rock, punk, and alternative type stuff but he'll give anything an honest listen and dose like some Hip-Hop/Rap. He said he thought it was awful.

Thanksgiving is based off the event of the early American settlers surviving the 1st winter. Native Americans helped them thru' it by showing them some of the techniques when it came 2 cooking and survival. It is an American holiday, but the concept is something everyone should appriciate and reflect on.

Huh? :nhawong:

This would be the newest in a series of posts that are just stupid.

I wazn't insulting the award show, it's just that nobody really respects award shows. They are all silly. How can one award show represent the minds of fanbase one movie and music fans?!? Just notice that the more respected award shows are hosted by people like David Letterman and Whoppie Goldberg. The rest of hosted by fly-by-nite talent. FP has gotten 2 big 2 do award show hosting.

Thanx 4 that link!!

That cover is beautiful. The style of the cover reminds of of FP "Just The Two of Us" book. If i find it at a decent price, i may pick it up when i'm a lil' better off financially.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! Nuttin' like NOT having 2 go 2 work or skool and overeating. This is definitly the time 2 reflect on all the good things we have in life and stop worrying about what we don't have. As always, i wake up in the morning and throw on "Ain't No Place Like Home."

U know i'll be picking it up the day it drops.

Thanx 4 posting that 4 me.

Digable Planets aren't really that much like ATCQ. Digable Planets kinda served as the leaders of Acid Jazz (Hip-Hop + Jazz). I think ATCQ were more straight Hip-Hop with Jazz samples and influnces. DP had this laid back, sometimes hippieish approach 2 their music. All 3 of them were emcees but they also dipped in2 some spoken word poetry type stuff. The music waz about everyday life and occasionally social issues. I think they appeared on Guru's 1st Jazzmatazz album. Their 2nd album didn't have as much Jazz influence but it waz still dope none the less. "Where I'm From" and "9th Wonder" were their other bigger hits. They are definitly worth checkin' out if u like early Tribe and De La stuff...but they are really in a class all their own. I know Tim is a fan of them as well.

No...no half-naked guys in the videos. Freedom wore tear his shirt off tho'...he had the kinda body u'd wanna show off. "Gonna Make U Sweat" had Zelma lipsyncing 2 Martha Walsh's vocals (which lead 2 a lawsuit), Freedom just ripped his rhymes while C+C played around with the special efx in the video. "Things That Make You Go Hmmmm..." waz probably my favorite. It waz a black and white video that played perfect off the hilarious lyrics 2 the song. C+C put out quality videos 4 the time. It waz Ace of Base that had fly songs with mad cheezy music videos. :roll:

I don't think FP is interested in doing stuff like that anymore. When u get 2 a certain point in your career where u are so huge, u don't wanna take steps back 2 host a silly award show. He did it in the early/mid-90's 2 help get his acting career bigger but other than that, he isn't down with that. If he'd get his single out in time, he could perform on it tho'!!

No offense newbies....but post the sources where u get your newz from. I know that it says it's from a tabloid trash magazine, but i wanting 2 know what news publication would write about something in magazine like that!! It's obviously fake tho'...all the news in magazines like that. Besides, FP has sided with Michael Jackson. A few months ago there waz that article where FP said MJ has got 2 be the least sexual person he's ever met and that he thinks he's innocent.
