Don't get me wrong, i wouldn't mind if FP did some guest spots on people's albums...it just depends on with who and what kinda song is waz. I don't like the idea of him working with half of the people on Willennium (Lil' Kim 4 example)...but with people like Biz Markie, Slick Rick, and MC Lyte, i think that would be right up his ally. I don't know how i feel about newer artists tho'...most of them simply aren't good and i don't think he needs 2 tarnish his image by working with them (Ludacris...Petey Pablo...WHY?!?!?). I wouldn't even want him working with Kanye West...at least not side by side on the mic, production would be okay. Kanye is definitly outshining most of the new cats cuz he dose have skillz but i also think he's a lil' overrated. I don't see 2 many people fitting 2 the kinda artist that deserves 2 work with him. I'd love 2 hear old skool collabos. Back when u had JJ+FP, Whodini, Run-DMC, Salt-N-Pepa, Heavy D + The Boyz, Eric B. + Rakim, MC Lyte, LL Cool J, EPMD, MC Hammer, Queen Latifah, Young MC, Public Enemy, Doug E. Fresh, and Digital Underground as Hip-Hop's main playas. All of those artists are dope and i wish collaborations were more popular back then cuz they would have been great. These days, the people on the top of the rap charts simply can't touch that late 80's and early 90's era. They make music that is average to bad and their lack of talent is only half the reason. If i waz a successful artist, i wouldn't have much inspiration 2 work with anyone cuz nobody has talent or originality these days.

Yeah, i wonder if SoulShock + Karlin actually used that sample becuz of Gang Starr's hit with "U Know My Steez" or if it waz just coincidence. "U Know My Steez" came out in late-fall/early winter...JJ+FP "Greatest Hits" came out in May.

If the next album is a big hit, it could happen. Think about it, Jive probably would have never dropped the JJ+FP Greatest Hits album if Big Willie Style hadn't done so well. If the next album is huge and they recieve a few of those letters, it could happen. Shortly after BWS came out, Jive pumped out alot of the old JJ+FP albums 4 the new skool fans and they were in alot of stores.

The thing is, not all of us have the same style. So it'll be hard 2 please everyone...especially picky people like myself. On top of that, not 2 many girls like 2 dress like guys these days...females' shirts are fitted so we gotta consider that as well.

The last year i've been a HUGE fan of Talib Kweli even tho' i started listening 2 him in 1998. I'm hopin' 2 get this new album 2morrow.

The Fresh Prince won't just collaborate with anyone which i think is very cool. Look at Ludacris and Ja-Rule...even if they had real talent, they work with so many people, i'd label them as cameo whores. By the time their albums come out, u are already sick of them cuz they work with all the other commerical artists and they get on every soundtrack they can. I think all that is good exposer...but there IS such thing as OVERKILL.

Not bad. I don't like website shirts tho.' I almost never wear long-sleeves either. That's just me tho.' I want that Code Red JJ+FP logo on it really bad.

That's not a bad idea...i waz always hoping we'd see a remastered box set. I'll definitly send a request if everyone else agrees 2 do it as well. It's also a great oppertunity 2 request a Greatest Hits DVD featuring the stuff the VHS never did.

That's another 1!!

[quote=lambertj3,Oct 1 2004, 12:08 PM]i think the song is funny rap is supposed to be about relaxing, having fun and just in em's own words losing it so it is a good song in that regard[/quote] U don't relax 2 a song like that...u relax 2 a song like "Just Cruisin'." Either way, it dosen't make the song good...they really scrapped the bottom of the toilet 2 find that beat and those lyrics.

E-40 definitly is overlooked. He's made alot of good songs over the years tho' i don't like all of them. Not 2 much of his slang has gone past his own albums tho'...he has like 9 words for any word...at 1st it waz cool....not it makes u wonder if he just doesn't know how 2 come up with rhymes. :roll:

TLC - Man, these girls accomplished so much for Hip-Hop, R-N-B, and females in general. They tackled struggle after struggle and still came out on top. However, after the loss of Left Eye, millions of fans turned their back on them. Their album 3D only sold just over a million copies. That's messed up. Another case of sell-out fans and self-centered record labels. Q-Tip - After being the main attraction to A Tribe Called Quest, then dropping 2 huge solo singles and one of the better albums of the late 90's...his label wouldn't support his 2nd solo album becuz it waz heavily jazzed up and not 2 much like his 1st. Craig Mack - one of the better emcees 2 rise 2 fame in the 90's. However, it seemed like the flashy, jiggy, less talented rappers kept their fame while he kinda faded away. Bell Biv DeVoe - They started a revolution of mixing Hip-Hop with R-N-B (rapping over R-N-B beats, and singing over Hip-Hop beats, and so on). These days it's a common thing, but these guys really put it on the map (and did it the right way). When they came back in 2001, i waz mad 2 see them ignored.

Dru Hill - In My Bed

That house is insane!!

I waz highly upset (from what i saw). It waz literally like 10 second interview bits that were supposed 2 be funny but they just sucked. I waz taping it in the other room and so i could fast forward and watch it all later but the tape apparently ran outta room. Either way, i'm sure i didn't miss much.

If this is true, i wouldn't call it good newz or bad newz. However, Interscope hasn't had any big players since the mid-90's. They've turned in2 a label that only distributes smaller labels. Nothing special about Interscope at all. If they just distribute Overbrook, and FP stays as an Overbrook artist, that would be cool.

Welcome 2 the board!! As a new member, we'll 4give u for asking about the new single. "Switch" is the planned new single from his album slated 2 drop in January. "Got To Be Real" is the new song he did with Mary J. Blige on the Shark Tale soundtrack.

I think the site would be mentioned on the shirt...but i think it should take a backseat 2 JJ+FP. If i wore a JJ+FP shirt, i would wear it cuz it would be a fly JJ+FP shirt...i don't wanna be a walking advertisment 4 the site...know what i mean. I definitly think the shirt would look best in black. The Code Red JJ+FP logo would look great huge on the back or small on the front or sleeve(s). If there were an actual picture of them on it, i think it should be really modern but not 2 candid. The only problem is, there hasn't been any studio pictures of them taking since 1993/1994.

Yeah, Heavy D + The Boyz' "The Lover's Got What You Need" is the 1st song that comes 2 mind when i think of that sample. The beat is definitly much better than "Freakin' It." I can't think of any songs off the top of my head that use it, but i know i've heard it (or various versions of it) over and over again. The only song i can think of that is sampled more would be "Lovely Day."

Definitly. People post all the news articles in the forums above anyway. These days i struggle 2 find time 2 visit the board and with so many different forums, i think a few of them could be combinded. I only visit 4 of them on a regular basis so i think it would be more organized 2 combine some of them and it'll also save the time of those who got lives 2 live. I think it would make sense 2 combine the audio forums as well.

:roll: I waz hoping so. I don't VHS's are gonna fade for quite sometime tho.' DVD is taking over but i think VHS will still be relevant 4 awhile. Anybody still have Beta? :roll:

Don't 4get, y'all. It starts 2nite at 10. What's cool is that they will be playing the segments at the same time as The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. U can expect lots of FP humor. One of the clips had FP talking 2 the rediculous dolphin interviewer and he said "i told u not 2 make me cry" as he waz grabbing for tissues.

I didn't even know VH-1 did an A to Z on our boy. I'll have 2 check 4 it...even tho' those A To Z specials are usually stupid...yet entertaining.

VHS...as in video tapes. There's standard VHS like in the US, but theirs also PAL VHS which only play in certain places in the world. I have a Will Smith and TLC music video in PAL format so i've never seen them.
