I noticed the neuralizer in the Columbia logo from the 1st watch...and the new version of the theme. I actually don't like the new version of the them. It sounds generic and processed to me. It probably sounds better in its entirety.

This is really interesting and a bit quirky. I like then concept though there were a few moments where it seemed like a little too much. The "rapping in the background" thing made me laugh as well as the push-ups...which I did something similar in an old video of mine. The "I barely look any different!" is what made me laugh the most. The things that I get from some of your videos is that I don't know if they are supposed to be serious or funny...which I'm pretty sure is what you are going for.

I took a few minutes away from it and watched it again. I liked it better the second time around. I like the idea that K is hiding more. I just feel like the FPisms were adlibs that ended up in the trailer. They are a little on the predictable side...to the point that they almost feels scripted. It certainly doesn't have any quotables in it...and there's no sign of a new FP joint...but I imagine that will come together during the last stages.

Some of the shots look interesting but some of the look like shots from the last movie. I want familar MIB with a new twist but this doesn't really grab me. And if those are some of the funniest moments in the movie, then we are in trouble. I'm sure the movie is going to at least be alright, but this trailer is disappointing to me, personally.

I hate 2 play the roll of debbie-downer on this...but I think this video is stupid. I like the idea of it but the acting and the dialog just weren't tolerable to me. The whole time I was waiting for it to end. I think the cheesy song at the end was my favorite part...maybe because it was over...lol.

This is is new single "Crunch Time" I'll share my opinion later...what's yours? lol

For some unexplainable reason, I think the movie will be fine. Probably not on the level of the first one, but better than the 2nd. Reshoots can mean disaster but it can also mean they were able to step away and see what needed fixed...AND FIX IT. Who cares...new music is on the way...lol.

SISQO - Perfect Christmas (2006) I never knew this song existed until 2day! Love it!

I can't believe someone put that Dutch radio bit on YouTube! It's off a 3 inch bonus CD that came with an import version of the Boom! Shake The Room CD single! I was just listening to that about 2 weeks ago.

It's no Jamaica but it's 61 degrees in Maryland right now...which is crazy. This Toni Braxton and Shaggy joint comes to mind...

Overall, I like Reachin' better than Blowout Comb...but they are both great albums. It took me a second to adjust to the slight change in their vibe on the 2nd album when I first got it.

The lead single off BLOWOUT COMB...9th Wonder You just feel cooler when you ride around 2 music like this... Another fan fav...

Their biggest hit...Rebirth of Slick (Cook Like Dat) Another single off the debut album...Where I'm From And another classic/fan favorite...Nickle Bags

Thanks for posting this. I admire him for doing that. People just don't give of themselves anymore it seems like.

Yeah, I don't want them to sound like they are in a time warp but I don't want them to reinvent the wheel. Digable is one of the best to do it. I'm freaked when I saw this news!!

I am fully aware of the ridiculousness of that statement. But maybe MTV has realized that pretty much everything they've done since 2005 has been a been wrong and that their last tolerable era was between 1999-2002.

Digable Planets Reunite, Plan Tour, Album by Slava Kuperstein posted December 04, 2011 at 12:52PM EST | Butterfly, Ladybug Mecca, and Cee Knowledge are hitting the stage and studio once again. Taking a page from the Wu-Tang Clan, Digable Planets has formed like Voltron. Original members Butterfly, Ladybug Mecca, and Cee Knowledge (formerly known as Doodlebug), have big plans for 2012, including a tour and album. The group attained platinum status in 1993 with their album Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space), and earned a Grammy Award for the song "Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)." Digable Planets' last release was the 1994 album Blowout Comb. Further details on the tour and album are not available as of press time.

KRIS KROSS - Tonight's Tha Nite Young, Rich, & Dangerous (1995) Why did they stop making music? They had so much potential!!

Yo! MTV Raps was monumental to me growing up. I never realized it until it left. I've watch it all the time...ESPECIALLY ON THE WEEKENDS. I remember when it aired for 2 or 3 hours straight, I'd stay up recording all the videos and interviews I liked. Either that or a group of us would all sneak out and go to one of houses and stay up watching and hanging out all night...then sneaking back into our houses really really late at night. Everything about Hip-Hop was dope back then. Even most of the artists I didn't like back then, I'll give a listen now and realize they were good.

MTV Raps" will return to the air for one night on Sunday on MTV2 at 12 a.m. ET, and Busta Rhymes will be one of the featured rappers, revisiting his own memories of the legendary show. Busta recently inked a new deal with Cash Money Records, but the New York rapper got some of his first shine during early episodes of “Yo! MTV Raps,” along with his former group Leaders of the New School. "'Yo! MTV Raps,' just in a nutshell, gave everybody an opportunity to look at artists as real people," Busta Rhymes told MTV News of the groundbreaking series, which will make a return on Sunday on MTV2 at 12 a.m. ET. "You saw us when we were upset, you saw us when we were happy, you saw us when we were beefin', you saw us when we were celebrating some sh--."You saw us when we were upset, you saw us when we were happy, you saw us when we were beefin', you saw us when we were celebrating some sh--." For Busta, who started his career as a member of the 1990s Long Island, New York, rap quartet Leaders of the New School, "Yo! MTV Raps" documented one of the most pivotal moments in his career. "Leaders of the New School broke up on 'Yo! MTV Raps,' with Fab Five Freddy hosting it," Busta recalled. "I'll never forget that day." It was 1993 and LONS had just released their second album, T.I.M.E. (The Inner Mind's Eye), which was anchored by their #1 Billboard Hot Rap Single "What's Next." Still, despite their growth as a group, Busta Rhymes and member Charlie Brown began collaborating with other acts as soloists. Bus had already delivered a scene-stealing verse on A Tribe Called Quest's 1991 "Scenario" and appeared on Heavy D's "A Bunch of N---as" with a then-unknown Notorious B.I.G. Brown had opened up doors for himself as well, also appearing on "Scenario" and Funkmaster Flex's "Nuttin' but Flavor" with Ol' Dirty Bastard and Biz Markie. "Me and C. Brown, we ain't really dig each other for a long time," Busta said, citing a silent competition between him and his former bandmate. During the 1993 episode of "Yo!" all the members introduced themselves for the camera, shouting out Leaders in the same breath — all except Brown. "Just lounging, getting to know myself and what my capabilities are and what I'm gonna do in life," he said. "The cameras is rolling and we're looking at each other like, what the f--- this n---a talkin' about," Busta recalled. "We're steppin' to Brown beefin' like, 'What is this?' [And he's like,] 'I don't wanna be in the group no more.' " Busta Rhymes went on to release his solo debut The Coming in 1996 and has enjoyed one of the most storied careers in hip-hop. On November 17, the Dungeon Dragon announced his latest deal with Cash Money Records and Google Music, but despite all of his highlights, the LONS split ultimately made Busta who he is today. "That was just a big moment. That was a defining moment for me," he said.

This is dope! I hope it does well and that it goes to regular MTV. Call my hopeful, but with Beavis + Butthead returning to MTV, I feel that MTV may start to fix the hot mess they've become and start bringing music back to their station. I don't get MTV2 but I would KILL to see this new episodes, new interviews along with classic music. If this show got proper shine, the mainstream face of Hip-Hop could be repair and classic artists might get some proper support.

'Yo! MTV Raps' Returns To The Airwaves With 'Classic Cuts' (VIDEO) First Posted: 12/ 2/11 11:46 AM ET Updated: 12/ 2/11 01:56 PM ET Following a 16-year hiatus, MTV's iconic show "Yo! MTV Raps" will make its return to the airwaves during a special dubbed, "Yo! MTV Raps Classic Cuts." The 30-minute retrospective will feature an array of MCs including Tribe Called Quest, Scarface, Ice Cube, Wiz Khalifa, Questlove, Busta Rhymes, Naughty By Nature and Young Jeezy, all reminiscing on three influential videos ["Scenario" by A Tribe Called Quest, "My Mind's Playing Tricks on Me" by Geto Boys and Ice Cube's "It Was a Good Day"]. "The concept is actually every episode, hoping that it gets picked up as a series," said writer and consultant Shaheem Reid. "We're going to be looking back at some of the classic videos from the 'Yo! MTV Raps' era. We have brand new interviews with the artists about the making of the song and the making of the video, and then we're also going to incorporate the interviews with some of the artists of today talking about the impact of all of those songs and videos." Over the course of six weeks, Reid and the show's producers maintained a vigorous schedule of conducting over thirty interviews with various artists, actors, DJs and industry insiders and narrowed down 90 classic hip-hop videos to the three aforementioned picks. Created by Ted Demme and Peter Dougherty, the franchise originally aired from 1988 to 1995, followed by a rebranding as simply "Yo!," and was highly regarded as a staple for hip-hop aficionados across the globe. "'Yo! MTV Raps' is such an iconic brand. There's something exquisite about it that a lot of people have had the opportunity to appreciate, and the experience of a lot of people getting their first taste of hip-hop globally via 'Yo! MTV Raps,'" said former host Ed Lover. "It brought all of the hip-hop community together; it brought all the people together who love hip-hop music. So I think it's a wonderful thing that MTV2 has decided to do something with 'Yo! MTV Raps' the brand." When show producers wanted to expand the weekly series, hosted by Fab 5 Freddy, into a daily show, the Hollis, Queens, N.Y. native teamed up with his close friend Andre "Doctor Dre" Brown in March 1989 to join the network. Indeed, Freddy's reluctance to be overexposed gave the duo an opportunity to land the groundbreaking gig. "It was because of Freddy's desire -- what he thought at the time would be an overexposure of himself is the reason why Dre and I had the opportunity to be on MTV in the first place," Lover revealed. "Because Freddy turned down the idea of doing a daily version of the weekly series. And then they started looking for a host and that's when Dre and I came into pocket." "The importance of the show back then was MTV's first foray into hip-hop music. ... I think 'Yo! MTV Raps' had the greatest impact on hip-hop in anything that ever existed," he added. "Because we took it from a regional genre, as far as the artists are concerned, to an international genre. 'Yo! MTV Raps' was on all over the world, almost in every country. I've met people throughout my travels and they told me that they started to speak English because of 'Yo! MTV Raps.' It made hip-hop music a global powerhouse. It made people a lot of money because it went global. And that's what 'Yo! MTV Raps' did." The trio's contribution in providing a daily hip-hop forum also inspired future on-air personalities who would go on to create their own paths with the network. Most notably, MTV's current premier host and correspondent Sway Calloway credits his success with the network to what the "Yo! MTV Raps" hosts were able to accomplish. "For me being at MTV and watching what Ed, Dre and Fab 5 Freddy were able to accomplish, I went in there with humbleness and humility and hope that I could only bring the same phenomena and integrity that they brought but do it my own way," he said. "And so I like to believe that I haven't let down the legacy of people who come from the same environment, live on a mainstream platform and not forget where it came from, but at the same time not closing doors to where they can go. And it was them that inspired me." Calloway, who has interviewed President Barack Obama and legendary rock band U2 in his time at MTV, also admitted that his on-air charisma is parallel to what Fab 5 Freddy brought to "Yo! MTV Raps." "If I had to compare myself to anybody, it would be him," he said. "He could adjust to any scenario. You could put him in any environment and he could conduct an interview. So whether it was a record label executive, a graffiti artist, a gangsta rapper or even a politician, Fab 5 Freddy had the poise to function and he had the vocabulary to communicate on every level -- he was intelligent." "I always admired that about him," he recalled. "At that time I never thought that I could get on TV, but when I did get on TV I definitely thought of Fab 5 Freddy and [thought to myself], 'What would he do?'" Though the newly revamped special will pay homage to the stage that Ed Lover, Doctor Dre and Fab 5 Freddy built, it will also introduce the show to a younger generation of fans. "I think the thing that's going to separate this show from a lot of the other shows -- and it's no disrespect -- but when you have a special that takes a look back at some of the great things of ten or twenty years ago they usually only incorporate the people that was around at that time," Reid added. "But with this one, not only do we have the legends we also have a lot of the younger acts that wasn't around and they tell us how it inspired them to pursue their career." "And at the end of the day, it's going to show you all of that old school vs. new school hype really doesn't matter because great music is great music," he said. "These are music videos that came out 15, 20 years ago and they're still relevant and popular today." "Yo! MTV Raps Classic Cuts," will air just after the first annual Sucker Free Awards, which premiere at 11 p.m. on Dec. 4.
