I'll try to give it a listen today. Here's an article that was on AOL News today... Fat Joe Calls Food His Crack, Says No Scale Could Weigh Him Posted Nov 2nd 2011 4:30PM Getty Images Fat Joe, who recently dropped over 100 pounds from his frame, thus becoming Not-So-Fat-Joe, has revealed that he actually never knew how much he weighed at his heaviest, as no scale he stepped on could compute his weight. Joe publicly debuted his shrinking figure in his aptly-titled 'Drop a Body' music video back in June. Since then, the rapper has shed an additional 25 pounds and has opened up about how he reached his breaking point in his lifelong struggle with his weight. Joe told WENN, "The scale wasn't big enough. I would say [i was] 400 pounds. If not 400, close to 400." The 41-year-old star, who previously admitted he was scared into a drastic lifestyle overhaul after seven of his friends suffered fatal heart attacks in their 30s, now weighs in at 260 pounds. Joe went on to compare his addiction to food to a drug addiction. "I don't find it hard [to diet]. I'm addicted to food and I love to eat, but I don't find it hard at all ... It's like a crackhead," he claimed. he continued, "A crackhead just hits rock bottom and they realize they don't wanna smoke crack no more, you know what I'm saying? So I just said to myself, 'I don't wanna be overweight no more, I don't wanna be outta shape, I don't wanna be at risk of passing away and stuff like that so I gotta do the right thing.'" So how can the average ... Joe ... shed the pounds too? "Be more active. I would say just walk," the rapper advised. "If you're a heavyset person, you're not gonna be able to jump or run around or do crazy stuff, so just walk ... for 20 minutes, 30 minutes with your headphones on, get your little walk on, walk with your friends and that's it. 30 minutes. Try your best to stay away from the rice, the bread, the pasta, because that's not our friend." "I'm Fat Joe, you can't tell me that it's too hard. Can't nobody tell me it's too hard. I'm Fat Joe, the king of food. The self-proclaimed king! If I can do it, anybody can do it," Joe added.

I think there are times when both of them are at the same level as the other guys and times when the put together and okay song. I don't think Kanye's done anything good since 2008. His album with Jay-Z is his first step back in the right direction. Beyond my on disinterest in his last album, I can hardly see it considering as a classic. To be honest, I never saw a music video air, heard a song on the radio, or hear ANYONE talk about since 2 weeks after it dropped. When my local Borders closed and CD's were 70% off, they STILL had copies of it. 50 Cent interested me back in 1998. I previewed his albums and I usually think he has 2-5 good songs on each of them. When you don't respect the man behind the music, its hard to respect the music. I don't think it's okay to be good just because you are being compared to some of the worst music ever made.

BOYZ II MEN - So Amazing Twenty (2011) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HFwlA-oQDI&feature=related I am LOVING the new album!!

It's pretty depressing that Justin and Jimmy rap better than most rappers on the radio these days.

I love them both...I haven't listened to either in awhile. I think it's time to revisit them.

Thanx for posting these...they're so fun...lol

This is fun! I don't like Jimmy Fallen...but this is really good! :)

ANDY GRAMMER - Keep Your Head Up (2010)

I'm sorry to hear that. My prayers go out to the family and friends. I have a request myself. Last night the theater that I've worked out (on and off) since 1998 may close this year. It's the only real theater in my local area and we are always consistently putting on the best productions with the best talent. After years of fighting the economy, they may be throwing in the towel. My close friends own the theater and this effects literally 100's of local actors and 100's loyal ticket holders. Personally, I feel like I've lost all of the biggest things that mean most to me in the past 3 years, yet I see things restored or replaced as well. While it seems that the decision has been made, we have at least 6 or 7 months (and 5 more shows) for things to turn around. I hate the idea of the theater NOT being there. I hate that my favorite place to work at could be gone. I hate not having my family and friends around to work with all the time. I know there are other options for me but I really and struggling to feel a sense of purpose at the moment.

I just don't understand why they'd do things the way the press has reported. I mean, it can't be THAT bad but it's disappointing that that it has so much potential and things don't sound to be handled properly. Time will tell...it could be great.

I was also wondering if Mars was supposed to say that or not. At the same time, he has recently performed and visited Hip-Hop radio. Who knows what approach he's taking.

FU-SCHNICKENS' - Breakdown Nervous Breakdown (1994)

50 Cent? Classic? Impossible. I don't care that the current cats on the radio are so bad that they make him look good. Unless he asserts himself and flips his style drastically, I could never see the word "classic" being associated with him. When the last time a Hip-Hop album TRULY EARNED the status "CLASSIC"?

No, No. NOOOOO!!!!! This is a bad idea. Period. It was a bad idea in 1996 and it's a bad idea in 2011. He wants to see a script because he has said there's a "zero change" he would do a sequel (and for all the right reasons). He's merely humoring the idea but there is no reason for the movie to have a sequel. Keep in mind that FP hasn't pumped out a classic movie since Hitch and doing a sure-to-critically-suck unnecessary sequel is NOT the way to go. We are still hoping MIIIB was properly done at this point.

I haven't heard that BIIM song yet. It's alright but it's leaving me wanting more. I can't wait for the new album! SKEE-LO - Superman I Wish (1995) I was in a music store and found the the vinyl single for this. I already got the CD back in the day...but at 50 cents, who can blame me? I just came across the video, it looks like he's a little sloppier these days...and I wasn't thrilled to hear him drop the F bomb after he's made an effort 2 steer clear of being explicit all these years.

I like Nas...so no disrespect, but his ability to do an interview is AWFUL. If I hadn't heard his music and I just read this interview, I would have thought he was an idiot. Does he always come off this ignorant in interviews?

3X KRAZY w/ 2PAC, EKLIPZE, B-N-T - Gaffled (Remix) Immortalized (1999)

On a separate and random note, I picked up a weird DMX album 2day. It came out this year and it's titled "Greatest Hits With a Twist." It has X rhyming his hits over what I would consider karaoke beats. It's just weird. I guess this was a way for him to score money without paying the people who helped make the hits as much money. I can't say I'll listen to this again but I wanted to find a link to share it with you. I came across this deluxe version including 3 other re-recorded song plus a 2nd disc filled with remixes. http://www.amazon.com/Greatest-Hits-Twist-Deluxe-Explicit/dp/B004OMX44O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1319431505&sr=8-1
