Wow! No replies. Has anyone peeped it? Thoughts? Opinions? Personally, I loved that he used both TLC Christmas songs even though only one of them was a single. There's actually 2 old school Hip-Hop Christmas songs towards the middle that I was unaware of that I'm gonna look for. I wasn't crazy about one of the cussing. Christmas music with cussing just doesn't seem right to me. The mix reminded me of the Ludacris' song. I never knew about the Kanye West Christmas song. I love the beat and the chorus...but Kanye's lyrics are stupid and his voice is awful (as usual). I like how his mixes and samples the Chipmunks in the middle of it. I will say that I'm surprised that he didn't include a Boyz II Men Christmas song. I was listening 2 the mix 2day while driving and I definitely feelin' it for the most part.

I think I just found a gem. I'm not sure if this is a song that didn't make it on the Nuttin' But Love album or if it's a remix of "Nuttin' But Love"....but to me is a totally different song. I just purchased the vinyl promo single because this is dope!!

I was in an FYE once digging for music. I overheard this awful acting and dialogue. It was annoying me greatly. Eventually I looked up at a TV screen and saw that it was Twilight. It was the first one. I knew it was never worth giving them a try after 20 minutes of hell playing in the background of my shopping experience.

Jeff has been hard at work. He just put out a holiday mixtape!!! It's a great mix of old a new featuring music of all genres. The only problem is that it's missing JJ+FP's "Family Christmas." Here's the link: https://www.facebook...h=3AQECBEkR&s=1

I've kinda wondered this as well. Since Jazzy runs in his own circles, he probably seems more untouchable to some or less thought of. He's so laid back about music and creating it that I see him creating strictly for himself and his inner circle and only stepping out when someone goes out of their way to ask him. So many people have stepped away from using a DJ, and if they want one, there's plenty of young, eager guys out there who will do it for a #7 combo at McDonald's as payment. It would be very cool to see him step out of the box and offer to work with likes of LL Cool J, Rakim, KRS-One, Nas, Common Sense, etc...

I'm indifferent. I'd like to see it in theaters again, in 3D would be an interesting perk. Overall, I don't care much. As long as they don't make the ill fated sequels, I'm happy.

FEBRUARY 12TH, y'all. It's comin'!!!! I like that he released "Take It" as a single 2 weeks after "Ratchet"....he certainly listened to the fans who weren't feeling it.

MC Hammer is a beast when it comes to the moves. Plus he's only person who I think doesn't look ridiculous in Hammer pants. I was hyped when I found out he did this, but I think Psy and is music are a complete joke. Needless to say, I had mixed feelings about this. A lot of the energy from the crowd was going out towards MC Hammer so that's a great thing. I'd love to see him come back and get that kinda reaction.

She's made a career of making herself unlikable. It's sad but she's talented and could be doing so much more.

One track? Screw that noise. I want at LEAST 3!! Dream big, baby.

I think it's commonly known that we'll all be happy to take WHATEVER we can get. LL Cool J casually and randomly would drop a song prior to his new album forming. He was just being free with it. I wish FP did it. He'd be able to try things and keep a small presence in between albums.

2PAC - Dear Mama (Big Mama Mix) Dear Mama 12" Single (1994) Man, the 3 remixes on the 12" are just perfect....so much better than the more popular Moe Z single that made it on some CD single releases. They NEED to release a CD set with all the remixes, alternate/clean versions, and instrumentals from all of his singles.

I don't know if I'd consider it interesting. It sounds it'll just be loaded down with classic. I'm sure that'll make it better than his last. I liked the last one but found it hard to swallow when it came to the newer songs on it that sucked. I'm STILL not happy that he never did that Heavy D mixtape.

Funny....I laughed out a loud a few times.

Nah, I love the beat. It's classic, straight Hip-Hop. It's got the mid-90's, late night, cruisin' music vibe. The chimes, the piano, the smooth sound. I love it. I hate when beats are doing too much and distract from the lyrics, which should always be the focus of a dope Hip-Hop song. I love that he worked with true R-N-B legend like Joe when he could have easily gotten with a newer artist. I also love his delivery on this. On a separate note, I was digging through used CDs at this one store today and picked up a Columbia Record compilation called Everybody Dance Now from 1991. It has the Crypt 12" Remix of "Around The Way Girl." I didn't even know this remix existed!!! It's not too terribly different from the original version but I loved hearing one of my favorites in a new way.

I have a lot of hope and I'm not sweatin' it. I'm only frustrated that it's taking this long. I don't take his occasional rhyming as teases...simply signs to less us know that more of it is in the future.

REDEMPTION!! CHECK LL'S NEW TRACK. I guess he wanted to clean up the poor response that "Ratchet" received last week. LL COOL J w/ JOE "TAKE IT" THIS IS SO DOPE!!!

Here's an article from Global Grind with comments from Kurupt and her son. It briefly mentions how Blaque and TLC were at her funeral this past weekend. http://globalgrind.com/entertainment/natina-reed-funeral-kurupt-son-photos Here's another article saying how she was living in a motel at the time that she passed. I have no idea why this is relevant news....I guess just for the curious people. Haters were saying she was broke, but at $45 a night, she couldn't have been that broke. Other insiders said that she was getting her new house together and assume that's why she was at a hotel. Her mother also says the police aren't really providing her family with information about the accident. Police are quoted saying there's nothing really in the area that she was in at the time, but people from ATL are saying there's a Walmart and multiple gas stations. Before ANY news came out, it was said that she was walking to a gas station to pick up a few things. http://globalgrind.com/entertainment/natina-reed-dead-motel-home-death-photos Lastly,...

As reported by the Atlanta Journal Constitution: Gwinnett County police would like to speak to “anyone who might have information about anything that could help us determine why she was there, anything to help us understand how this came together,” said police spokesman Sgt. Rich Long. “As of right now, it does not appear that the driver has any fault in this event,” said Long, who added that it was the driver who contacted police about the accident. The driver, who was not immediately identified, was not expected to be charged, the spokesman said. Long said investigators were still trying to determine why Reed was in the roadway and whether she was crossing or walking alongside it. The spokesman said CPR was performed at the scene and Reed was taken to Gwinnett Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead at 10:59 p.m. Long said other than the driver and a passenger in the car, there did not appear to be any additional witnesses. The spokesman said more information would be released as facts become available. Reed died two days before her 33rd birthday. Reed had a 10-year-old son and was once engaged to rapper Kurupt.

Anyone seen the video for the Snoop Lion project. I must say it's a bit of a hot mess. Clearly the vision for the video was done under the influence of weed. It's like a low-budget 80's drug trip. My hopes were that this would be Snoop rhyming over legit reggae and dancehall beats with a change in his subject matter. That's not the case, he's trying to sing sing reggae, and it's not working out so good for him. Let's just say it's safe to say that Heavy D's "Vibez" will be the one an only legit reggae/dancehall album to come from a Hip-Hop artist.

Hence me deeming as a waste of a minute. And he's smiling as it walks up to his car so he's not reacting to them asking about a new album (as the title leads us to believe).
