HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! U never hear about FP, LL, Rakim, Run-DMC, and so on getting booed...only commercial artists that suck. Jeff drinkes alot of juice straight from bottles...maybe he waz there. :roll: Were any peaches thrown??

Vibe's writer is stupid. While i wanted more from this album, they are knocking some of the best trax on it. When an artist/group makes a cover album, u can't exactly hold the same standards against them that u would with a studio album. Either way, Full Circle waz a dope album. I still listen 2 that album from time 2 time, i think it's incredible. I have other friends who are 20-something who got it and loved it. Just cuz an album dosen't have big sales dosesn't meant it's bad. It seems these days that critics only exist 2 stress the bad and ignore the good. If u are a Boyz II Men and a fan of classic R-N-B, give the album a chance, that's all i can say.

I've only heard the 1st half of each song on the album and i'm totally in love with it. I'm so happy with this album. Jill's voice is flawless and her spoken word is right on point and making her stand out from the rest of those female artists. Anyone who is a fan of Soul, R-N-B, and grown-folks Hip-Hop needs 2 get this album. She balanced it nicely with some trax by the new ATOJ team, the former cats that made her 1st album incredible and other Philly soul legends like Larry Gold and James Poyser. Just hearing the music moves u. There only an album or 2 that come out a year that make me feel this good. Jazzy Jeff didn't produce or mix any of the album, however, he dose serve as executive producer again. Also, it looks like Pete Kuzma has left ATOJ. He did a decent bit of work on the album but there's no ATOJ affiliation. Ant Bell and P-Nutt are the ATOJ cats representing on the album, Keith, Darren, Andre, Carvin, Vidal, and Ivan rep the old crew...and like i mentioned earlier, Larry Gold and James Poyser, and Pete Kuzma are there 2...oh yeah, and Raphael Saadiq is on there adding new flava. So she has a solid team baking her musically. Don't sleep on this album if this music is right up your ally. Also, go get it at Circuit City this week. It's on sale for $11.99 and if u get it b4 they run out, u'll get a bonus 1-track CD single featuring the Smitty Remix of "Golden" which is a club mix...a lil' bit like a rawwer, faster "In Time" of "The Magnificent." U may have 2 ask the cashier tho' cuz i had 2 say something 2 get it for free.

Willennium often goes for about $10 brand new in most music stores where i live. Even if i lost the album and then downloaded it...i wouldn't be able 2 handle it...i'd have 2 own the album itself shortly after losing it.

I turned on BET and came across a video by the Wake Up Artist Coalition. The song is called "Wake Up Everybody" and the song is simply amazing. Kinda reminds me of Black Men United's "U Will Know" off the Jason's Lyric soundtrack or "Freedom" off the Panther soundtrack. It's a postive song loaded with tons of artists supporting voting. It features Wyclef, Babyface, Music, Mary J. Blige, Monica, Brandy Claudette Ortez (whatever her name is from City High), Floetry, Jon B., Run, Jahiem, Marques Houston, Faith, Ashanti, Jamie Foxx, Nate Dogg, Missy, Fabolous, and Jadakiss. The song is simply amazing. Check it!!

I'm listening 2 Speech's 2002/2000 album "Spiritual People."

I saw MTV adversizing the "leak" but i havn't listened 2 it. I'm just headin' out early 2morrow 2 pick it up. All of u going out 2 get it 2morrow (in the US) should try Circuit City 1st, they often have their new CDs for $9.99 (but i didnt' see their advertizment this week). Wal-Mart, Target, and Best Buy usually have similar prices or at least good sale prices.

Jeff would contact me a few times thru' e-mail but most of the times i've got 2 talk 2 him waz on AIM. He hasn't been on that for a month or 2 tho.' I e-mailed a few of the peeps on the ATOJ who's work i waz familiar with but they havn't gotten back 2 me. Jeff's assistant has in the past but hasn't responded 2 the one i sent 2 weeks ago.

I didn't see the VMA's yet, but that's what they are for. If u are on an award show, u are basically there 2 promote your next project or keep your name and face out there. I'm heading out early 2 get the new LL album. He's my 2nd fav emcee and he's never disappointed me.

Yeah, JJ+FP's style waz pretty timeless in the mid-90's. Gear like that isn't common, but it still comes off as in-style when u found it. I actually had a very similar style back then when i dressed a lil' mellowed down. Oh yeah, sleeveless shirts are a big no no. 2 wear those u really should have a killer set of muscles...otherwise u just look kinda silly. When i'm out in public, i always clown guys wearing sleeveless shirts cuz none of them earn the right 2 wear them.

Yeah, i love this album. Some of the songs weren't what i wanted from Boyzz II Men when i 1st heard it, so i had 2 adjust. But it only took like 2 more listens of the trax i didn't like as much 2 appriciate them 4 what they are. I'm thinking "Sara Smile" is gonna be my overall favorite. It's the 1st single...so where is the video?!? "Let It Whip" is probably my least favorite track.

Opinion, fact, what's the difference? :roll: On my Hip-Hop radar, i'm not picking up any sign of Gangsta rap...who's making it these days??

Man, why can't they just make things work. I've never read anything by CL that sounded so negative. It seems like him on recrods and him in person is 2 different people...and that's a turn off 2 me.

FP supports everyone. 1st off, everyone loves him. He's a Hip-Hop icon and treats everyone with respect. That's why he's cool with everyone. And i'm not surprised he waz gettin' down 2 stuff like "Lean Back"...like i said, he supports everyone. He gave props 2 Nelly in 2002, the said Ja-Rule waz a talented guy...he also waz groovin' 2 50 Cent last year. He always makes a point 2 support others, but we all know his views on Hip-Hop, Rap, the industry, and what quality Hip-Hop is.

I like the album. There is 2 or 3 trax that are lacking....but other than that, the trax are no less than good. There chemistry is amazing...however, i think Snoop Dogg gets unbalanced attention on a few songs. However, Snoop waz right when he said that the album brings a sound that is untouched these days. I kinda liked the idea that it took them about 10 years since they all found success. Now that they are grown and Gangsta rap is dead, i have a feeling the subject matter now is much better than it would have been in the early/mid 90's.

I missed it 2. I had other things 2 do and know they will re-run the crap outta it. I didn't really expect anything from FP being on it...just him being goofy and presenting. I thought "Miami" waz what they were gonna play when he came...4 obvious reasons.

Right now i have a mixtape playing made up of stuff i listened 2 the summer of 1998 feat. Aaliyah + Timbaland, Brandy + Monica, Jermaine Dupri, Mariah Carey + Lord Tariq + Peter Gunz, Ginuwine, Ray J, Changing Faces, Montell Jordan, Pras, ODB, + Mya, Destiny's Child, Jon B, Tatyana Ali, Tamia, Jagged Edge, Xscape, Sugarhill Gang, etc.

I've seen JJ+FP in person twice...but didn't meet them. I later found out that one of my friends talked 2 Jeff when i wazn't around him and he said we could chill with him a lil' bit after he waz done spinning. However, not knowing this, we had 2 leave and he told me on the way back home...i waz so mad and almost smacked the person who had 2 go home early. I have talked 2 Jeff online quite a few times tho.' E-mails also.

:ditto: What he said. I'm not much on triva ?uestions and message board games tho.'

Hopefully FP's new project will be huge and Jive will re-release JJ+FP "Greatest Hits: The Videos" on DVD and repackage it with some of the things they missed. Columbia is just ignorant for not putting 2gether a Will Smith "Greatest Hits" DVD. The Will Smith Video Collection is great, but it would be nice 2 have "Boy You Knock Me Out, Freakin' It," both versions of "Nod Ya Head," and "1,000 Kisses"...and bonus stuff. Both companies are money hungry so if FP's new project is big, there a chance that could happen. I doubt they'd outdue themselves tho.'

Ha!! I just wanted 2 say i thought Color Me Badd is the jam!! Those guys were so underrated. I wish R-N-B groups these days could bring the harmonies and lyrics CMB waz bringing. I also think Spice Girls are cool...ha ha...everyonce in awhile i'm in the mood for some fun upbeat pop...Spice Girls are perfect 4 that. Hanson's "Mmmbop" waz a fun track 2.

I remember that article. The funny thing is, FP knew 2Pac and knew he wazn't a gangsta rapper. His knowlege on 2Pac's music waz more advanced than the singles cuz he's mentioned album music by him. Personally, i don't think Biggie waz gangsta at all. I'm not a big fan of his so maybe someone else can confirm what he classified himself. 2 me, he waz just your average New York rapper.

Out of the solo albums, definitly Willennium. After the huge success of Big Willie Style, FP retreated 2 Philly, hooked up with Jazzy Jeff and took his time creating the slightly overlooked album which waz the best of the late 90's. It had the party joints, it had the instrospective trax, it had some evergy that BWS waz lacking. Not 2 mention this album also confirmed that JJ+FP waz still alive and well.

Welcome 2 the board!! Great 2 see so many new people poppin' in.
