JumpinJack AJ

I would only dance 2 a Nelly song if it waz his last farwell-to-rap song. Dancing 4 joy that his wrath of ruining music in the name of rap would be over.

I just want the relaxed subject matter of Born To Reign, the agressivness, topic variety, and the flawless ATOJ-styled produciton of Willennium, and the good-tyme feel of Big Willie Style. However, i don't want him 2 do stuff like he's already done...i don't want it 2 be like past albums. I want totally fresh, new skool stuff from him that surpasses the standards set by his past work. How do any of us have the right keep him in one place. Let's just let Will go crazy and see what happens.

There is actually 2 versions of this remix. The one version may be totally unreleased which has a slower (and better) verse from Shaggy, Sean Paul's verse is the same, FP's is the same EXCEPT it dosen't have his beatbox under the end of Sean Paul's verse (which is actually quite cool). This remix waz done in the summer of 2002 when Shaggy's album "Lucky Day" waz coming out and FP's "Born To Reign" waz coming out. The remix is tight and i think it would have done well on the radio and as a music video. The remix waz released on various versions of Shaggy's album but FP's verse is NOT on it. U can find this remix on the rare reggae compilation album "Sexy Lady Explosion." Oh yeah, and these lyrics are pretty close but a lil' sloppy compared 2 what they really are. These lyrics go with the version on the "Sexy Lady Explosion" album.

Really? I hate that song. I love The Neptunes, but that beat waz trash. Nelly of course just whined and talked about nasty stuff. The lyrics were garbage and that hook drove me 2 drink. :drunk: I honestly think it's the personification of what the worst music in the world is like.

Nobody is perfect, but 90% of the people who have remote celebrity status don't deserve people 2 look at them as a role model cuz they are nasty, selfish, greedy liars. It's people like Will who not only deserve the title of role model, but other celebrities should try 2 fix their life and their outlook on life 2 be more like his. It's not hard 2 be positive and real as the same time.

FP has always had a certain amount of haters calling him soft but those people also never bought his album (or even heard them). They heard the singles, which recently only reflect the party joints. It up 2 us as fans 2 present ourselves on places like message boards as true Hip-Hop fans and positive people all around so people will even consider respecting our opinions. This album may be the easiest 2 promote the proper Fresh Prince product 4 Hip-Hop fans. Most of us are intellegent, respectable, postive people (which is probably why we are pulled towards Will and his music). I think that is our best weapon. When B2K fans came up on the WS board acting all stupid, would we give them a chance?!? Heck 2 the NizzO!! I think B2K made some decent music but that's cuz i checked it out 4 myself...not cuz some ignorant 10 year came in there saying "Holla." Neither would i check out a rapper if someone came in their dissing Will and talking about their fav rapper. However, i know Tim just about as well as u can know someone thru' the internet only, and when he comes 2 me like "AJ, u need 2 hear this track"...i'll definitly give it a listen cuz i know he has good taste and judgement. I'm just saying that as supporters, we can make a big difference with this album and it's our character that will make it happen. The sig will put the word out, but it'll be our character that makes other people care...then hopefully Will will have proper music video and radio support 2 take it from there. Someone shut me up!! :blah:

It's bad enuff that he himself thinks he makes good music (didn't he grow up on any good Hip-Hop). But the fact that millions of people would think a track like "Hot In Herre" waz good enuff 2 buy "Nellyville" baffles me. I heard probably half of Nellyville thru' videos, and radio and stuff and "Dillemma" waz the only good song on it (from what i heard). I can't believe it kicked Born To Reign's butt!!

This sounds good so good!! As general as the statement is, it sounds exactly like what his music needs. I'm sure we can expect flava from all of his albums as an influence but with a new skool fine tuning for the 2-0-0-4. I think it'll be alot like Willennium but without the Will 2Ks, Freakin' Its, and Da Buttas. I can't wait 4 a taste of this album!!

THANX!!! Good 2 hear him talk about the music again. This article waz great 2 read...cuz it proves that emcees/rappers can actually be smart. In articles like this...u see the Fresh Prince u expect, the goofyness, the sillyness, but u also see how smart he is. The way he talks and his outlook on life is amazing. When other rappers do interviews, they sound...well, like they have a 5th grade vocabulary with no experience in life.

Good luck 2 everyone trying 2 see this!!! I hope all of u can get there, get up-and-close, and then share all the details with us. I'll also wish 4 no rain. :roll:

Man, some crazy mess went down on that board. Everytime their'd be a hater attack, i'd spend hours cleaning that board up...literally. We should start a new post on an off-topic board about all the funny stuff that happened over there.

That waz great!! Thanx 4 finding that and posting. This article is the only real way we've got 2 find out who Charlie Mack really is. It's good 2 know he can do more things than bite peoples' faces off. :thumb:

[quote=DevilsJim89,Jul 28 2004, 08:53 PM]Yeah look at him now, his rap image has been almost destroyed[/quote] Well, Columbia promoted him as a certain kinda artist...but Will also played along. FP himself had the choice 2 concentrate that much on movies and not so much on music. U can't blame Columbia totally cuz alot of it waz up 2 Will. He's the one who choose not 2 do so many music videos, performances, and tours. Columbia had control over the singles and packaging, but FP could have done alot of things he didn't do. I guess he didn't think certain things were that imporant. Also, as an artist, when a label is stressing u, it makes u not want 2 create as much. Will's involvement in movies made him a mega star and got him secure financially and as an entertainer. Who knows, without the movies, Big Willie Style may have no been as big as it waz. This kinda stuff goes both ways.

Yeah, i've read interviews where they say the Greatest Hits album waz how they fulfilled his contract. It waz obviously mutual for both Will and Columbia that they part Will cuz they could have fought the idea so that each of them could have gotten their way, but i think Will waz sick of the grip they had on him and Columbia wazn't interested in him since he wazn't making Big Willie Style sales anymore.

I heard a few of Ziggy Marley's singles from the mid-late 90's and liked them. If his singles reflect his albums...i think he makes some good stuff. BET stopped airing Caribbean Rhythms so they don't have any shows that focus strictly on Reggae and Dancehall anymore. I'm not any expert on his music at all...i'm just saying i've liked what i've heard. The Marley's are kinda like the Wayan's of reggae. :roll:

I'm thinkin' about pre-ordering it thru' Sony so i can get that bonus CD. Dose anyone have any info on what is on that bonus CD other than that alternate version of "Bedda At Home." I'm a huge Jill Scott fan, but i waz expecting a lil' more than what i've heard so far with Golden, Bedda At Home, and Family Reunion. I'm not saying they aren't good songs, i just expected something a lil' more. The fact that i'm hearing them over the computer and not in my car is one of the thing that is probably taking from it, but i'm dying 2 hear the rest of the album.

AIR FRESH!! :roll: Instead of the Michael Jordan silloette flying thru' the air dunking the ball...they could put the Will Smith Enterprises logo of Will doing the running man and hat 2 da back.

I waz gonna post this last nite and 4got. Thanx!!

Yeah, the fact that Will only had 3 albums is a main factor why it waz unnecessary. However, with the way the music biz is these days, Will would have had 2 fight 2 NOT have it put out. By them putting it out, i'm sure it'll make it easier for him 2 release another Greatest Hits album in the future. Imagin a WS greatest hits album WITHOUT "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It." It benifited Will cuz it got him off the label without legal problems . We'll never know the extact deal that Will had with them...my main point waz that they make a quality Greatest Hits album and sum up his career as a solo artist better that what that weak album did.

I've done some local commercials and have been asked 2 do lots of local TV projects. I've passed all of the TV offers but i may do one in a week or 2. I need 2 talk 2 the producer/director before agreeing 2 it tho.' I don't have much of a drive 2 do the acting thing big time but it's definitly something i enjoy. As a performer who gets their drive from music, i like 2 do stuff in front of audiences and not just 4 cameras. There's nothing like hearing people respond 2 something u created yourself.

Yeah, i think Nelly will still sell records and stay recording...but i think that "Shake Ya Tailfeather" is gonna be his last big hit. He dropped some huge singles but his more recent songs are not only alot worse then the already-bay singles he put out early in his career, but he's not getting the same support or love. Of course it's early 4 this new album so i may be wrong. It would be nice 2 see a current new jack rapper getting ignored and have slumping sales 4 a change since it happens 2 many of the old skool vets.

Yeah!! There's promos for another 2 or 3 trax off the new album on ebay but i think i'm gonna be good and wait 4 the album. There's remixes of "Golden" tho' that i'll have 2 get sometime.

JJ+FP shirts are a great idea. I would get tons of those as long as they looked good. JJ+FP need 2 do a photo shoot 2 put a new picture on the front and then maybe a smaller old skool pic on the back with one of FP's lyrics under it. I'd proudly wear them around. Hat's aren't a bad idea either.

I'm an actor who works at the dinner theater. I act in the shows (sometimes i'll just understudy, do props, or work on the set) and i also wait tables there. I also work in a photography studio as photographer and manager.
