Don't get me wrong, I prefer straight Hip-Hop...but this is ill. I love the piano and the experimental approach to the song. Like most of his songs, this one leaves me wishing he'd put more execution in his delivery.

Interesting. I like it! Thanks for sharing.

Sounds good! Congrats on the recording. Is it just me, or did the Lost + Found album cover inspire this pic?

I'd really like them to do something together. Since we've heard more music from Jaden, we know he's all over the place musically. I'd like to see him get away from the "radio" side of rap and build himself in a stronger Hip-Hop foundation. At the same time, their different styles would be an interesting mash-up. Why do I detect a hilarious JJ+FP skit introducing the song? Maybe a proper reboot of "Parents Just Don't Understand."

I haven't heard it yet and it's killin' me! I probably won't get to until Friday....but I'm crazy hyped.

You know you can block those annoying games so that requests don't keep coming, right? LOL I assume they weren't close friends.

Here's a few more details in this article... http://www.tmz.com/2012/08/22/ll-cool-j-burglary-house-los-angeles-arrested/?icid=maing-grid7|main5|dl2|sec3_lnk2%26pLid%3D195789

TONI BRAXTON - I Belong To You (self-titled) 1993 I'm revisiting this album for the first time in years. Such a classic.

For some reason I can't cut and past the article, but I've put the link below. It essentially says someone broke into LL's crib at about 2am last night and fought him with his bare hands and then kept him there til the cops came. http://globalgrind.com/news/ll-cool-j-robbery-burglar-home-details-photos Now, my thing is, how the heck is someone STUPID enough to beak in LL's house while he's home KNOWING he's a boxer and in impeccable shape. I just know how I feel at night when I'm sleeping and I hear an occasional strange noise...I walk the crib with a baseball bat to make sure everything is in order...LOL. Thank God this guy didn't have a gun or at least couldn't use it. Can you imagine how other so-call "bad boy" rappers would have acted in the situation? God bless LL Cool J.

I loved Rihanna when she first dropped. Her first two albums are classics in my mind and take me back to a good place. I appreciated her third album that propelled her to the success that she's at now. I don't always love all of her music now, but I remain a fan, hoping the commercial glitz will fall off soon and that the young woman on the inside will make more of an appearance in her music. This interview talks about her growing up, her career, and of course; the Chris Brown episode. If you are any interest in her, this is a great interview and shows the real Rihanna....she sans the over the top outfits, hair, make-up, etc. Check it. http://globalgrind.com/entertainment/rihanna-full-oprah-interview-next-chapter-chris-brown-video

I think it's awesome that two of FP's movies are getting this treatment. I can't wait to see ID4 in theaters again. I kind of wish they'd put I, Robot in theaters again for a week. The nostalgia would great!

I have the bootleg of this! Old school, baby. All about energy. Skills were just a necessity back then...not rarity.

Well, she passed away about an hour ago. She struggled a bit in the last 20 hours but she didn't suffer. 87 years well-lived.

My grandmother had a heart attack last night. They said the first eight hours were the most critical and she's passed through that time frame. It's very difficult seeing someone who had a huge part in raising you struggle like that. I'd appreciate anyone who would be willing to say a prayer on the matter. I'd love to see a full recovery. She's 87 and has some health challenges but I'd like to her come out and enjoy more time in a normal, relaxed state. I would hate to have her last hours/days be struggling from something like that. It has certainly put a perspective on how I've been living my crazy busy life and not having time to put into the most IMPORTANT things.

This isn't one of my first choices for a single...but I love the energy on this one. The visuals in this new video are great.

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT - Raga In Collangatta Standing At The Crossroads (2012)

Ha...totally POH era. Whoever that kid is, he ain't so "yung" now.

He is truly one of the most level headed and positive cats out there based on this interview. I'm waiting for new music from him!

I can't blame him. He has a great and very successful set of movies here. But it's about time for Bad Boys to get off the ground. I think it's important that Bay is the director. The fact that most of the team from Bad Boys worked on Bad Boys 2 is what made it the amazingly dope movie that it is.

I'm waiting for the day I'll hear some news on FP that excites me.

RICH CRONIN - Hazel Eyes (2006?) Rich was dating this girl, Meredith, for a while and wrote this song for her (she's the girl in the pic). The remained friends and when he passed she put the song up for everyone to hear. Not sure if anyone here might like it.

I'm hyped because they are coming to DC in September and I just got tickets!! AD is one of the few groups in Hip-Hop and I feel is truly flawless. Their lyrics and vocals are on point, as is their production. Their live show is great, and best of all, they are some of the coolest people you'd every wanna meet. I'm rehearsing for a show so I've been stuck listening to the music for that, but the few times that I've listened to this new album, I've loved every song. Next month I'll really get to dig into it.
