I don't think he meant "underground" as in gritty street stuff....but as in stuff that isn't on top of the charts. De La Soul isn't underground but they aren't exactly commercial either. I only consider artists with a cult following truely underground.

:roll:

U can find the track on every Sugarhill Gang "Greatest Hits" albums...and The Big Hit soundtrack.

I'll vote, even tho' nobody watches the People's Choice Awards.

Lauryn Hill is supposed 2 be comin' back out soon. The Fugees got 2gether for a show or 2 but i don't think any albums or touring is planned. As much as they need 2 come back, i think it would be stupid 2 step on the toes of Wyclef's and Lauryn's news albums by focusing on The Fugees. Then again, the course of their albums will probably be slowing down by the time the album would be ready.

Is there any footage from this show anywhere? It's kinda different from what u usually hear from Will on his promotional gigs He did a medley of "Act Like You Know" and "I Can't Stop." He did it on MTV's Back In Black (which i got 2 see live) a morning show or 2.

:werd: I ain't buying it 'cause I don't like Jay-Z that much anymore and "The Best Of Both Worlds" was wack, it'd been dope if LL Cool J was doing a whole album with R.Kelly 'cause I love that song "I Got To Get Her", what's R. Kelly thinkin' to do 2 albums with Jay-Z! :dunno: :bang: R.Kelly's a great artist but the worst move in his music career was to do a whole album, I could take 1 or 2 songs collaborated together but a whole album! :what: Yeah, i didn't like The Best of Both Worlds album much. A few trax are alright tho.' The 1st album came out during the time that the sextape scandal hit and people didn't really support it. They thought the scandal waz the reason they album didn't do good (and why they cancelled the tour)...so they wanted 2 go at it one more time. This album isn't really bad, a few of the trax are really good. I doubt i'll be listening 2 it more than once a year after this month is over. I think one reason R. Kelly did it 2 even out the music he's been putting out. His new albums are gospel and soulful "steppin'" music. He hasn't dropped some straight R-N-B in about 4 years other than these Best of The Both Worlds album. Sadly he's missin' the mark by doing albums with Jay-Z.

R. Kelly + Jay'z "Unfinished Business." That album isn't bad, i just wish Jay-Z wazn't on it.

I don't think he's really changed his flow. He just has different styles. He's been doing this forever, he'd be playin' himself 2 sound the same all the time. I think there waz more of a change between And In This Corner... and Homebase than Code Red and Big Willie Style. Hip-Hop is a changing game...u gotta keep things moving or fall off by staying in the same place.

The Trackmasters are one of the most popular and successful producing teams of the late 90's and in2 the 2000's. They did alot of work with FP. Not 2 mention nearly every other Hip-Hop and R-N-B act/group in the bizness. Half the time they tend 2 just jack existing beats but they also produce. p.s. Let's work on our topic titleing skillz.

"Boom! Shake The Room" is a great party track. It's a fun track but it dosen't hold weight compared 2 stuff like "Summertime" or "Shadow Dreams."

I don't follow politics much. I will by the next time elections come up. I think the US is pretty split in half about the election stuff. People are 2 close-minded 2 hear out "the other" party so they look at is as one of the guys is good and the other is bad. I don't feel either party is that impressive tho'. Alot of people just want a change, but 2 me, it seems like that "change" dosen't really exist.

My one friend listens only to rock almost (this is the girl who surprised me when i found some Roots, 2pac, Fugees in her collection). She dogged me cuz i made her stop flippin' radio stations when i heard "Hush" on the radio. I usually let her listen 2 what ever she wants (which i usually don't like) but i MADE her stop 4 this song even tho' i've heard it 100 times. She didn't like it much tho'...she just shook her head. :roll: I think there is a good chance people taste 4 Hip-Hop will grow or change. Nelly's new albums have slipped. Suit is the only one hight on the charts. And Eminem's new track is only number 6. That's depressing since all his stuff hits number one. Maybe some people are realizing these guys suck.

I dont' see many movies so i don't really have an opinion of him. I saw S.W.A.T. tho'...and i liked that movie and i thought he waz good in that.

"Everybody and their mother" is a phrase meaning everybody. It's just a comical over the top way of saying it. When FP 1st started acting, all the sell-out talk started. These days u have LL Cool J, Queen Latifah, 2Pac, Mos Def, and DMX with respectable acting careers. Then u have Ja-Rule, Nelly, and others TRYING 2 act but not really making any moves with it. FP states it perfectly when he says "Now every brother and his mother in rap be tryna do that."

Yeah, they gave props 2 "Summertime"...that's about it. But u can tell by what they perform. When they do shows, they always do "Brand New Funk" if it's not a big commercial thing. Of course FP mentions it on the "Willennium Interlude." FP put his own time and money in2 "So Fresh" without the help of Columbia. FP also made sure 2 perform "Act Like You Know" during Born To Reign promotion.

THANX!!

Maybe once or twice...but i like her so it's forgiveable.

Diana Ross + The Supremes "The No. 1's" But now i'm poppin' in MTV's Uptown Unplugged featuring Heavy D + The Boyz, Father MC, Mary J. Blige, Jodeci, + Christopher Williams.

Great!! I think it should have gone gold faster tho'. Rap/Hip-Hop albums these days by artists who have a mainstream following go platnium straight out the box. Hopefully "Hush" pushes it 2 platnium leading 2 more videos, singles, touring, etc. I don't know if i want Queen Latifah on FP's new album...her current album is worse than the Born To Reign stunt when it comes 2 experimenting. Ha ha...just playin'...i'd love 2 hear something from them 2gether.

U can find an official copy of "The Ripper Strikes Back" on DMX's 1st album. If u find the limited edition when the album 1st dropped, it's on a bonus disc which also included trax and snippets of "new" music from Onyx, Slick Rick, Def Squad, and Ja-Rule (b4 he waz mad wack). I agree with u on that track...it's vicious. More agressive than 2Pac's "Hit 'Em Up" in my opinion. It's more lyrical than personal...which is how it should be. Notice LL and Canibus are still alive.

I didn't notice that until the 2nd time i saw it...and i lost it!! :roll:

I never watched Miami Vice so i could care less that he turned it down. I wonder if FP pointed him towards Jamie Foxx. Jamie is blowing up but since him and FP are close, maybe he suggested him.

So go out and get it!! There's some people who need 2 go out there and support Jeff. If u aren't a big fan of his cuz u are a Will Smith fan, that's fine, but there are some so-called JJ+FP fans out there that don't support Jazzy the way they support FP.

No newz of a Christmas album....but maybe Tim can resurrect the "Born To Ski" post. :hilarious:
