On a related note, here's Namie Amuro's song "Hands On Me" featuring a cameo of TLC in the first half of it. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=3144826595307 Lastly, TLC is featured on the single "Crooked Smile" from J. Cole's new album, which just dropped today. They don't do much on the song, but I'm happy to know they are active and mixing with the more talented artists of today.

TLC released their "20" album today in Japan. To my understanding, it features some of their hits re-recorded, as well as a few live cuts from the FanMail tour. There's also a version with footage of the FanMail tour, but it's only in Region 2. I didn't get that version because I'd be spending an extra $15 for a DVD that won't play in my DVD player. I hope they properly release the entire FanMail concert (originally shown on Pay Per View) with the new album. The DVD version only features live clips of the live songs at the end of the album. Waterfalls (20th Anniversary Version) No Scrubs Creep Unpretty Baby-Baby-Baby Diggin On You Waterfalls Unpretty (Acoustic) Baby-Baby-Baby (Live) Creep (Live) Unpretty (Live) Waterfalls (Live) No Scrubs (Live) Here's the 20th Anniversary Version of "Waterfalls." I like it, but I wish they wouldn't have collaborated with Japanese artist...she kinda throws things off. Her English is just too broken. I would have used Left Eye's alternate "Waterfalls" vocals from the remixes they re-recorded in 1995. Or I would have kept it with just T-Boz and Chilli and added a new verse. It's still good tho.' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjMzPh0d5Ic

Also, I've seen that the Japan version won't be released until July 10th...so there's no way to truly know its tracklisting at this point.

It does appear that someone is calling this tracklisting fake... http://www.kanyetothe.com/forum/index.php?topic=463460.630 Front this source, it says there's a song called "Goodbye" featuring FP. Another shows a song called "Wild America" with spoken word by FP... http://rapgenius.com/groups/the-forum/discussions/28618-Yeezus-tracklist-leaked

I wouldn't give up hope yet. Japan albums are hard to find and often unknown outside of Japan. They aren't "deluxe" editions either...they just have extra tracks. Keep in mind it took us 5 years to know the Japan version of JJ+FP's "Greatest Hits" existed, containing the unreleased Code Red era song "Don't Fight The Feeling." "Chosen One" is only found on the Japan release of Lost + Found, which isn't a deluxe edition. We just have to spend a little time waiting to find one with a tracklisting.

Julie... LOL!! Why was it charting in 1994, three years after its release? This reminds me of TLC's CRaZYSeXyCOol re-entering the Billboard charts this year a few times. AWESOME!!!

I just saw it and I loved it for the most part. Let me first say that I'm not a pompous movie critic. When I go to see a movie, I just want to be entertained. There are times when dialogue sucks or acting sucks, but I feel that a lot of the time, people are just being over critical, as is the case with the critics of this movie. If I had to be critical, I would say it was the first 20 minutes of the movie. The abrupt start of the story was unique, but I didn't like it. I feel that should have eased into it to establish a few things. I like that you have to figure some of the story out as it went. I liked that they clearly established the things you need to know better, but some of the first 20 minutes felt disjointed. Additionally, that was the ONLY spot where Jaden's acting seemed a little flat at times (which is completely forgivable since it makes up for it in the rest of the movie). After that first 20 minutes, I loved it. The visuals are amazing and I like the use of special effects. The action is great and the "villain" is a legit threat. Jaden is coming into his own as an actor and there were at least three moments in the movie was I was like "this is a moment that really establishes him." The comedy was great too, but most of the small audience didn't get the dry humor. I love the movie and I think if some of you aren't seeing the movie because of some of the press, you are foolish. As a fan, it's important to go out there any SUPPORT these projects. As one of my movie-buff friends says "once Hollywood builds you up, they want to tear you down." This is one of those movies where they wanted to tear people down. I saw the movie on a Sunday night, and considering it came out a few weeks ago, it was good to see 13 other people in the theater. That isn't much, but for a Sunday night, weeks after it's release, and after taking a beating from the media, it seemed pretty good. One things for sure, it's better than Hancock. Pretty much everything is better than Hancock.

Wow, great idea to brush this post off!! Life was so much different back then!! I did manage to get that house and I managed to get that new car. Two, actually, due to a car accident. I keep the bills paid and I'm doing it all on my own. I also strengthened my spiritual life. At the end of 2008, I was frustrated with the separation I had allowed to grow between myself and God. I made a point at that time to go to church every Sunday, and for the most part I've kept that. I tried to keep myself being filled with the things of God, and its been life changing. While I haven't doing anything active in music, I did focus on acting and I've made lots of new friends and have become very well known in the area for what I do. Many local directors ask me to come out for their shows or they ask me to help cast their shows since I know so many people in the local industry. I've been able to work with an up and coming playwright and it NEVER gets old being recognized in public. When it comes to my love life, that's been a roller coaster. I posted this as I began seeing someone know. There were many ups and downs with them, but I love them. To the point that I wanted to marry her. Some of the challenges she introduced to the situation hit harder than the ones I did. She's now married and I'm extra cautious in this area of my life. I've been so active in recent years that it's hard to imagine having enough time to put into a relationship properly, but I really do want to be settling down with the right person, and soon. It's crazy how you can fulfill so much and find yourself being happier before doing so. The goals I am chasing now are to continue growing as an actor and a performer, yet to also find a better balance in life for myself. The body starts requiring more maintenance as you get older, so I need to put more time in to being youthful and in shape. Financially I want to see myself grow stronger and I also want to make my career situation better by changing positions or putting a fire into what I already do.

I hope so. I hope their song isn't musical foreplay that leads to nothing, leaving my ears with blue...never mind.

I know I'm expecting the worst and I'm being stubborn. I'm TRYING to be more open minded to the idea. I don't like that "Bound 2" track though. It seems like the beat is going to go somewhere, but it never gets there. And still, the lyrics and his vocals are awful in my opinion. The good news is that if the song ends up being terrible, it's only a feature. Kanye isn't very respected amongst the heads though...look at the comments every time Russel Simmons posts something about Kanye on his Facebook. LOL I'm just failing to see this something that will be good for his music career, other than the attention it can get.

I hear what everyone's saying. I wanna hear him on the mic badly. I'm just dreading the combination. It better be good...somehow. Kanye and 2 Chainz are awful rappers and they're are likely to be cussing up a storm. Plus, if it has a garbage beat like "Clique," I'm done. I almost feel like hearing this song could be like saying "Yeah, I haven't had a girlfriend in 8 years, but now I do. Let's just ignore the fact that she's 700 pounds and used to be a man."

Does mean I'm going to have to shell out extra scrilla to buy an import version of blasphemously titled album by a garbage commercial rapper?!? Crap!! I guess we'll have to wait and see. Albums from Japan are the most expensive and always have the best bonus material. They are also the hardest to find.

The collabo makes no sense to me. FP isn't a "bonus track" artist. He's on the album or he isn't. I don't see that song we saw them in the studio for fitting on ANY album. At least since it's a Kanye track, there's a better chance it'll be released since FP's stuff never leaks. Here's the final 10 track version... http://globalgrind.com/music/kanye-west-releases-tracklist-yeezus

Let me guess, the writer is a white guy, 20-37 years old? I'm guessing this because most annoying, overly opinionated, arrogant writers/personalities that come off this way ARE. LOL While I agree with some of the points made, the whole tone of it is annoying and off. The truth is, Happyness is probably the last FP movie that I truly enjoyed. I like MIB3 and Seven Pounds. I grew to like Legend (other than the end), but the magic of his movies has fizzled. Granted, I don't care about them much. I'm all about the music, but USUALLY I hyped up when they drop and enjoy them. And I STILL haven't seen After Earth. I'm just busy, and this isn't Bad Boys, Hitch, or MIB. I will in the next couple of days. I think the bottom line is this, there is a time to produce and have creative control over your movies, and time to let it go. He's not going to grow if he isn't challenged, stirred up, and stretched. COLLABORATING is key in movies, TV, and theater. If he fails to collaborate and let some control go, I could see things staying like this. The same goes for his kids career; have involvement TO A POINT. I have to say that I don't like Tarantino at all. I've watched Pulp Fiction through and pieces of a few of his other movies and for the most part, I hated them. They have a specific taste for a specific kind of person. Not every movie can be a hit. He's had lack luster success before. People are just making a big deal of it this time. They still love him though. He'll always have that on his side and that's why reactions like this are just a flash in the pan.

A few things...and I apologize to Kanye West fans in advance... Didn't Kanye do a track for FP for Lost + Found. Back then Kanye still made good music and we never heard that. The commercialism of Kanye's name should have had that at least leak. I'm with Visqo...I just don't want music with Kanye + FP. Kanye's voice is annoying and sloppy. His lyrics were never great, but now they are really awful. His production used to be dope, it hasn't been (at least not consistently) for awhile. I just hate the idea of a legend like Fresh Prince sharing the song with a sloppy commercial rapper who's cussing up a storm with elementary rhymes and trash beats like "Click." By the way, did ANYONE like what they heard in that video? I didn't. Kanye does best when he caters to an artist's sound (Like he did with Common Sense's 'Be'), but he's past that point in his career. Import track listings are weird and incorrect sometimes. Years ago I went to get the China import of Lost + Found because it had a song on it that wasn't on the traditional album and was also misspelled. Luckily I contacted the online seller and they confirmed it was a misprint ON THE ALBUM ARTWORK and that I didn't need to get it. I also have the 2 disc Born To Reign import from China. After "Nothing On My Mind" it has "Girls...," "Parents...,""Nightmare...," and "FBofBA." Disc 2 is Willennium's tracklist plus ..Two of Us," "Miami," "Jiggy...,," and "MIB." Just weird. Lastly, I simply find it hard to believe that Kanya would have FP on his album, or that song (if it sounds anything like the video we saw." I wanna hear the songs, but I'd prefer they don't make any FP album. By the way, that link has been updated, cutting off at track 10.

I found this pretty funny. Too bad they looked over all of the JJ+FP album covers. http://www.formatmag.com/features/lego-hip-hop-album-covers/

I have to be honest, I still haven't seen it. I will this week, and I don't ever care what critics say. I've just been busy and this kind of movie doesn't pull me in like most of them do. I like how he took the critical questions from Jimmy in stride. He was comical about it didn't seem to be that bothered. Not may people get confronted with questions like that, and he handled them perfectly. It may not be a critical success, but can we really call it a "flop?"

I just got an email from The Howard Theatre (easily one of the best venues on the East Coast, in DC) and Jeff is coming there Saturday night. I need to clear my plans! I haven't seen Jeff perform/spin in 11 years! http://thehowardtheatre.com/show/2013/06/08/dj-jazzy-jeff-presents-summertime-the-party/?utm_source=emailnewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=jazzyjeff Nicole, please check your inbox...LOL

1 face about me... The face you make when you talked to the unamused cat almost made me pee.

29. Snoop Dogg completely forgetting how he got in this costume: 17. Ice Cube terrified by a clown:

This is one of my favs...because of the caption... 8. Kanye West beating Beyonce in Connect-4 after losing 30 games in a row: and this... 19. Ludacris missing every pool ball by a good three feet:

That's so cool! Congrats! I like that your question made him think a little bit. FP still kinda controls these interviews, but Jaden is sooooo much more comfortable now. The interviews are sloppy in a comical sort of way, and Jaden keeps him on his toes...LOL

I've been listening to it since I got home from work. I'm loving it...great mix and great sound quality!! We appreciate you coming here to keep us up to date on everything!

I loved that short read and the pictures. Thanx!
