  1. Alot of people have brought this up in the past. Who knows. When u 1st gain a year, sometimes it's easy 2 4get u are a year older.
  2. [quote=WildWildWillennium,Aug 2 2004, 08:32 PM]He did the same thing with Big Willie Style, he used Independance Day and Men In Black to promote it, and the result 4 the album waz huge!![/quote] I don't know....Columbia totally used "Men In Black" the song as promotion 4 the movie. I bet u that song drew in about 25% of the people who saw that movie...and with a movie that did that well...that waz millions of people!! I don't see how ID4 or MIB really helped the music. I waz so happy 2 hear new music from Will that the soundtrack song didn't bug me, but i always viewed the song as helping the movie and not the movie helping his music.
  3. 2day i popped in the 1994 classic from Warren G "Regulate...G Funk Era." People toss him in a class of gangsta rappers since he came out during the gangsta rap boom following the drop of The Chonic. However, this music is definitly not trashy gangsta rap. The production is great (even 2 this day). Thick beats, funk samples, smooth backgrounds with Warren G's laidback, sing-songy vocals. It's loaded with trax that kept us nodding our heads thru' the summertime like Regulate, This DJ, So Many Ways, and trax that served as the soundtrack 4 spending time in the basment with songs like Do You See and Runnin' Wit No Breaks. For anyone who loves real west coast Hip-Hop, if u never heard this album...CHECK IT OUT!! Straight from the summer of '94.
  4. Yeah, and in Deliver Us From Eva (love that movie), he goes by James Todd Smith aka L.L. Cool J. He's taking baby steps i guess. Now that i htink about it, he only went by L.L. Cool J in S.W.A.T. tho'...i can't remember 4 sure.
  5. I don't think there is a released Acapella version of "Miami." I have various CD singles, promos and vinyl promos and NONE of them have the acapella.
  6. I think that just b-cuz of that line, it helped him get more airplay. I love the idea that one of the hottest people out there now has a concious. Most of these other fools don't care about life and what their fans are listening 2.
  7. Don't miss Jada on The Late Show with David Letterman. U know Will will come up in the conversation. Jessica Simpson will be on there with her fine-self 2.
  8. How can u not believe it?!? They are touring now!! It's funny cuz with Columbia, it waz like they were using his music 2 promote the movies. With I, Robot, Will has flipped the script and is using I, Robot 2 promote his return 2 music.
  9. I still prefer a JJ+FP track over any other track. But i ain't mad at a Kanye West track. If it's on the level of Talib Kweli's "Get By," Dialated People's "This Way," or Janet's "My Baby," i expect 2 hear good things. However, i have heard a few things he's produced that were very average. I love Will talking about other music he listens 2. Let's u know what he's thinking. I think Will is alot lot some of us where Hip-Hop is your 1st love...but that theres never alot of new Hip-Hop 2 get your hands on AND not any new Hip-Hop u even get exposed 2 cuz it dosen't get any promotion.
  10. For those many MJ fans who visit this board, VH-1's movie Man In The Mirror airs this weekend on Fri, Sat, + Sun at 9. I don't know how it is (after all, they movie they made on MC Hammer 2 years ago waz awful with false details thrown in) but i'm definitly interested in checking it out. For those other Michael Jackson fans...what are your thoughts now b4 seeing it?!?
  11. Brand Nubian is the jam...period. I've been down with them since the early/mid 90's. I can't wait 4 this new album 2 drop next week.
  12. HAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! I'm watching re-runs of the 1st season of The Surreal Life (which featured MC Hammer, Emmanuel Lewis (Webster), Gabrielle (90210's Andrea), one of the Survivor girls, a guy from the Goonies, and Vince Neil from Poison..or some rock group of the 80's). Anyways, i only caught 1 or 2 episodes of it so i'm glad VH-1 is airing it now. There waz just an epidsode where all the girls when 2 a stip club and the fellas went 2 some place 2 eat. The guy from the Goonies was narrorating the event and stressed how they were kinda worried about eating there cuz of all the young street kids in their. The whole place waz just filled with loud young people and the guys were just sitting at the table all paranoid. Some guys in their 20's recognized Hammer who waz comfortable as could be there. Next thing u know, they are dancing in there having a ball. Everybody waz give kickin' it with Hammer and having a good time. It just goes 2 show that alot of people may clown people like MC Hammer, Fresh Prince, and so on...but young people love and respect the pioneers of real Hip-Hop music...no matter how soft they say they are. Hammer just comands attention and a good time no matter where he is. A few hours later they are all on this bus and they find out they have 2 go 2 church the next morning. Hammer sheds the pimped out leather gear he had on and gets dressed 2 preach. Of course it waz mad edited for the TV show but u could feel how powerful his sermon waz. He pulled up Vince Neil who waz bitter for the death of his daughter 2 cancer and stopped praying. Hammer drug him up there and stressed the issue. He brought the people 2 their feet, had tears rolling and brought Vince back 2 praying. Powerful stuff...i just gotta say MC Hammer is the man!! I'm proud 2 say that his Please Hammer, Dont' Hurt 'Em album waz the 1st cassette i officially bought. p.s. this isn't a religous post...so nobody trip....just sharing 4 those like Jim who are down with da Funky Headhunter.
  13. I got posters from most of my import Will Smith CDs singles...all in the cases still.
  14. People like that are exactly the kinda people that could be legit fans but need the exposure 2 the new music.
  15. And most of them can't be me cuz i havn't been able 2 access the board half of the times i've tried this week!!
  16. If they HAVE 2 be a group (just 2 shorten my list)...here's a few at the top of it... TLC Heavy D + The Boyz A Tribe Called Quest De La Soul Kid 'N Play G-Wiz Immature / Imx Boyz II Men Xscape ...about 200 others
  17. 4 quite sometime, u haven't needed any talent or intellegence 2 sell records. Look at most of the people who has success. De La Soul can drop an album with solid, multi-flavaed production, a wide range of comical to deep lyrics and put out a solid album, but they won't crack the top 10. It just goes that way...if u suck, u go platnium easy, if u are a real artist...good luck getting your song played.
  18. 2day it listened 2 Kevin Lyttle's album, Janet's "Damita-Jo" and a mixtape of stuff from the summer and fall of 1998 filled with trax by Aaliyah, Timbaland, Ginuwine, Destiny's Child, Mya, Jagged Edge, Ice Cube, Bone, Ray-J, Montell Jordan,...and the list goes on.
  19. [quote=willreign,Jul 30 2004, 12:09 AM]lol I will c Will pacage and u all in USA don't :nana: haha...[/quote] U can be proud of that all u want...by all means, i would prefer 2 keep it that way!!! If i really wanted 2 see all that, i'd get a bootleg, download it, or just get an import version of it when it gets released.
  20. Playa, iz u crazy!?!? :hilarious: It's still in the CD insert...SAFE...where it belongs.
  21. I e-mailed Jeff's personal assistant about 2 weeks ago asking about a heads up on JJ+FP touring and she never got back 2 me. I'll send another e-mail soon cuz usually she'll let me know what's up and relay messages 2 Jeff 4 me from time 2 time.
  22. It's good 2 know cars in the future are gonna look real cool. I just may have 2 get that same model...but in red of course. It looks like it's in pretty good condition considering that tunnel scene. Thanx 4 the Jazzy Jeff pix!! I still have nearly a dozen of Jazzy Jeff 2002 pix i never shared.
  23. I wouldn't say "IN STORES" in the sig. How do we know there will be a single, ya know. A single would be nice tho'....remixes, maybe another track or something.
