No way...he probably even 4gets about some of the songs he's recorded. Infact, during Willennium, there waz an interview where Will talked about not knowing one of the lyrics 2 "Parents Just Don't Understand"...so there's your answer...that's even one of his biggest hits.

That is so cool!! Talk about timing. 2day is my birthday, that kinda stuff is supposed 2 happen 2 me...ha ha.

Everybody knows i'm very much against the whole internet music sharing/swapping thing. However, i waz wondering how many JJ+FP MP3s we can find on the internet of unathorized stuff. Anybody who can find any interviews or UNATHORIZED DJ remixes of JJ +/or FP stuff, post it here. U obviously can't buy radio interviews or DJ made remixes that aren't copywritten and i think we are all desperate 4 something new 2 hear from them 2gether or individually. I just got extra interested in stuff like this after that 2001 Will Smith radio interview waz posted a lil' over a week ago. I'll be looking around the internet when i have time. Whoever finds anything, discribe it and post the link here. p.s. Somebody please find Will trying 2 sing "Mmmbop" or those crazy covers of "Summertime" and "Boom! Shake The Room"..ha ha.

FP won't release an album unless he feels the time is right. In a 1997 interview (with some magazine...Source or US i think), he makes a comment something like "i've been ready to record this album for years but the time wasn't right until now"...basically saying he waz ready 2 come out 4 awhile but with the murders of 2pac and Biggie and Hip-Hop being ready 4 some fun again, he felt it waz time 2 grace Hip-Hop with that Fresh Prince style it waz missing for so many years.

Def Squad (Erick Sermon, Keith Murray, Redman) did a cover of that 6 years ago...i think it may be a bit 2 early 4 another remake. I don't think any of those rapper y'all suggested would fit on a posse cut remake of that song tho'...most of those rappers don't know how 2 rock a track house party style. Leave it 2 the legends and those qualified 2 record it. JJ+FP, Run, L.L. Cool J, MC Lyte, etc.

Yeah, there's alot of business moves he's making but that kinda stuff dosen't stick in my head until the finished product is out.

I respect that people have different opinions...but i don't respect everybody's opinion. Not everybody has the intellegence, experience, understanding, etc...2 form opinions 4 me 2 respect.

Yeah, the Limited Edition (which i have no seen in stores where i live) has a 2nd disc featuring the album vesions of the songs Jeff uses in the mix. I may get it whenever i find it but i'm in no rush.

The US release for I, Robot is July...the album has been in works 4 ever but Will told and inside source that he thinks that the music industry is so messed up right now that it's not ready 4 him right now. We can't 4get the Sharkslayer/Sharktale movie and soundtrack on it's way.

[quote=Vipa,May 4 2004, 04:38 AM]Actually, i'm pretty sure ludacris Graduated from College.. :)[/quote] I think u are just making fun of my statement. But 4 those who think i'm saying those guys literally flunked outta skool...i waz making a joke that alot of these new cats are so wack and untalented that i don't consider them new school Hip-Hop...they flunked outta the new school...they are just...bad music makers.

Well, there's different things 2 take in2 consideration. U can rap fast or slow, agressive or mellow...u'd have 2 specify 4 me 2 choose what song would represent a certain quality of his flow.

Old school is late-70 to about 1988. It basically covers the pioneering days 2 the golden years. I wouldn't call anything from the early 90's new school...but it's definitly not old school. I would consider new school whatever is current. Of course most current rap isn't Hip-Hop music...so i wouldn't even consider the popular stuff any kind of school. Ja-Rule, Ludacris and all those cats flunked outta school...ha ha.

I'm not pick...i just want new music. Just traditional FP/WS music. As long as the beats are good and Jazzy Jeff is somehow involved, i'll be happy. I don't care what kinda label he is on as long as FP has most of the control of what is promoted.

[quote=Prince,Apr 28 2004, 06:55 PM]Holdup a minute! Did I hear the words "new album"?! Fill me in! :peace:[/quote] Back in 1999, she said she'd probably do another album. Most of us started loosing hope but just last year she announced that she was working on a new album.

Man, Will dosen't get any airplay in the US anymore. About 4 months ago, "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" came on a Top 40 radio station and i waz on my way 2 work. I got so hype...however, as the 2nd verse started, the station totally went out. It just cut off...i left it on 4 another minute hoping it woudl come back in...but it didn't.

The Roots usually have creative videos...what waz this one like? More importantly, what waz the track like? Waz it like that jazzy, soulful Hip-Hop stuff they did in the mid-90's or is it the experimental kinda stuff they did on their last album (which i bought and never listened 2 after the 1st listen).

Is it coming out on Region 1 (USA/Canada) format also? I waz really mad when the ALI DVD had basically no bonus features. If it's coming out in the US, i'll definitly get it.

I don't understand why and Eminem song is on the vinyl if it isn't in the mix?!?! It isn't "When To Stand Up" is it?

Then, Big Boy asked him what movie he didn't like and (just cuz it didn't do good at the box office?) he said WWW is wack. :dunno: Will could have probably rapped on "Freakin' It" without the sample 2 get rid of the "popish" vibe. Listen 2 the track again, and imagine him rapping it over the scratches and maybe a drum beat with some bass. The closest 2 that is probably the House Mix. It could have been a song like "Break It Down" on The Magnificent album. :rock: [/quote] Well, when u are promoting a brand new movie, u can't exactly go on Late Night with David Letterman and say "my new movie is kind wack, but be sure to see it"...ya know? At the same time, there's a chance that during some promotional spots, the movie wazn't totally finished yet and Will hadn't seen the complete product. And about "Freakin' It"...i think the lryics are fine, it's just that Trackmasters jacked a beat that has literally been used over 100 times. With the correct beat under his lyrics, the song could have had a chance at being huge (cuz it would have been a better song).

We used 2 have AOL JJ+FP chats all the time but hardly any of those users use AIM anymore. When my schedule frees up, i'll definitly be in the JJ+FP chat here tho.'

There's an Eminem track on the vinyl version...now i guess i gotta get that. But i don't understand the purpose of a mixtape if it stops and u have 2 flip over the vinyl 2 finish the mix.

I remember when Will said "Will 2K" waz far the best song on the album...it's funny when he's open about what he thinks is good and bad about his own work.

Christopher Williams' biggest album is 1992's "Changes" which i have. It's that classic early 90's Uptown Records stuff (Mary J. Blige, Jodeci, Heavy D + The Boyz, Father MC). In the mid/late 90's he got in trouble 4 not paying child support but he released at least 2 other albums ...none of them which had much success.

I LOVE Kiss The Sky. And i'm not saying that just cuz i love Tatyana Ali. I didn't expect her album 2 be bad or anything, but when i heard her album, i waz incredibly impressed. It waz the summer of 1998 (a great tyme 4 me) and the "Daydreamin'" video waz all over BET. I also waz really in2 Lord Tariq + Peter Gunz so this song waz just the jam 2 me. I went out and bought the single. A few months later the album dropped but i didn't get it the 1st time i saw it in stores, i just looked at the back 2 make sure JJ+FP wazn't on it. This waz the fall of 1998, then they premiered her "Boy You Knock Me Out" video which waz just as dope as "Daydreamin'...then it went in 2 FP's rap. I freaked out, grabbed my keys and headed over 2 the music store. I got the album and popped it in the CD player and waz so mad that his rap wazn't on the album. That didn't matter 2 much tho' cuz i thought the album waz brilliant. I love every single song on the album...especially "He Loves Me." Luckly i found the "Boy You Knock Me Out" import CD singles and got the remix with FP's rap shortly after. Everytime i pop that album in, it just takes me 2 when i bought it. Life waz really different back then...some stuff good...some stuff kinda painful, but the music just takes me there the way only certain music can. Kiss The Sky is highly underrated and i can't wait 4 her next album 2 drop.

Oh yeah, and neither videos got much airplay. I watched RapCity and other shows and BET and MTV and only caught each video twice b4 they stopped playing them.
