One more topic about Late Registration and I go crazy.

Melle Mel spoke about 50 Cent in the beginning of the summer...; "I don't get 50 Cent," he says. "When I first heard about him, all I heard was, 'He got shot nine times.' I never got that. I'm like, 'If you got shot nine times, either you're the luckiest guy on the face of the earth and you should be doing gospel songs or you just weren't a tough guy. So, why portray yourself as a tough guy? It's all about image. He's the new street guy who came up behind Ja Rule, who came up behind DMX, who came up behind Tupac, who started that whole totally negative, thug life vibe. "But instead of coming with straight talent like Tupac, these guys are just trying to come with the image and that doesn't do anything for me. I mean, young kids are impressed by that but hey, they're not hard to impress." While they may not be hard to impress, you can't discount the influence that crass lyrics and destructive images have on young minds. This isn't lost on Melle Mel. "I saw 50 Cent had his son on stage with a bulletproof vest. There's nothing cute about that," he says. "Anybody that has half a brain knows that you don't expose kids to that much negativity and not expect them to have problems when they get older."

Pac is overrated, I think agree with ya'll about that... About Rakim, when he was in Sweden a couple of years ago, he wasnt rapping. He used playback which is lame. KRS should not be dissed, tho he's obviously jellous at times, he's still very important for the true Hiphop (not hip-hop or hiphop).

Talking about silly rules; in some place in USA you are not allowed to drive motorcycle in a church. The silly thing is that its just some specific kinds of motorcycles that are not allowed.

Im gonna do a track, "1000 members"

Hello my name is Interscope we dont like good music good music sucks we love 50 cent we give will smith a premiere on the internet he does not deserve better 50 cent forever we hate music lets kill all the music in the world and after weve done that lets **** on its grave so it will be even more dead go 50 cent. /best wishes, interscope

Haha June 2006, that was a good one... I think september 2011 sounds far more realistic, since that will be the ten year anniversery of the terrible 11th september thing.

3rd october.. might be when we can expect the video..

If Will tours this winter, I would be quite surprised. JJFP is coming back, I don't have any reason to care about Lost & Founds sucess any longer... I just wait for the future.

Ra, Kris and Pac might be in most heads' Top 10, but former Furious Five emcee Melle Mel doesn't think too highly of them. During a recent appearance on (New York) Power 105.1's Star and Bucwild morning show, Mel did the unthinkable and said Ra was "overrated with no stage presence." He then added that he "wouldn't put him in his Top 10 and that Rakim doesn't have the talent to drop a modern day Hip-Hop hit." Meanwhile, Mel said "people were blinded if KRS-One was their face of Hip-Hop." However, Kris was luckier than Ra and "barely scrapped" Mel's Top 10. Last but not least, Mel took a shot at Pac. The veteran lyricist compared Shakur to Hitler and said the fraudulent images he portrayed "brought down an entire culture."

Not so sure Marley Marl made any track called The Message hehe, but I know what you mean and defintely agree with what ure sayin

Will should have some of the blame. If he really really wanted to, Party Starter would be out by now and if he really really wanted to, Lost & Found would be selling a lot more now... but Will doesnt care about sales as much as we do. Interscope should of course have most of the blame tho, but still, Will should have done more.

Problem is that they cant do the music video until they are both free from their scheduals.. and Will cant record anything until his done with Pursuit of Happiness... One reason is that I think he must keep his beard during the filming and that wouldnt look to good in a music vid ^^

You know back in 2000 Caz talked about this whole thing with Hank stealing his lyrics, and Caz made this track MC Delight about the subject. Does anyone have it or its lyrics?

To me its not if you use that counts, its how and why you use it.

Go away, or go buy.

Hiphop aint dead, its just sleeping.

Hurricanes are extremely cool to watch, I guess, but not so nice to fight with. Anyway its kind of scary that humans still doesnt know how to stop things like hurricanes and other dangers created by the nature.

Me want vid!

Ehhr.. ok. Thnk you for you information... ehhr.

I. Feel. Pain.

Never say never.
