I wish he was retiring, all his music lately absolutely sucks.

I think you have to be a Potnas member if I'm not mistaken, and Tim controls that, it takes a little while after you join to be included in that. I'm not 100% positive about that, I could be wrong.

It's nice to see Will get some respect from Kanye, I'm glad to hear it.

Yeah, the only good thing about dragging out these singles is that they will be more prevalent when Grammy nominations come around, it is a very Grammy worthy album, hopefully it gets some nominations.

Yeah, I am not expecting Will's sales to be going up until PS is released. I agree that hip-hop fans should be open-minded, I listen to everyone before I decide whether I like them or not. I listened to 50's new album, and it sucked. His first was much better, I was expecting a lot more from this one. You gotta listen to everyone's music before being critical about it.

I don't understand why they are taking so long to release, it is absolutely ridiculous, the earlier they release it, the better the album will do. I am with Maxfly on that one.

The cats don't like beef, they're vegetarians line was pretty funny.

Yeah, I don't really think it matter how old a rapper is, only if they have something to say, which I believe Will still does.

Well, I still don't care for the G-Unit, with the exception of Lloyd Banks, but it is nice to see Will referenced.

Not looking good for Will, or anyone else in hip-hop, that is.

If he is ahead of Common and Kanye with no video and the song not yet officially released, things are looking good for when the video actually does come out.

I agree w/ reborn that they have already screwed up the promotion. However, I still believe there is time to recover and go multiplatinum.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that, I was happy to see Nas in their for Best Hip-Hop video, especially since they barely played it. That was one good nomination, amongst a lot of bad ones.

Too bad Switch didn't get nominated, if Party Starter had been the first single, I bet it would have garnered some nominations.

Anyone got the lyrics for that?

Nice review, Ted. It was nice to see that most of the reviews were really giving Will his props for this album.

Overall, the promotion for this album has been pretty weak, I don't understand why they are waiting so long to release Party Starter, mid-June to early July was the time frame I was looking for, and its gonna be over a month after that. Multiplatinum is a bit of a longshot, but if PS and Tell Me Why really take off, you never know.

Yeah, that is a really great song.

Cool, just shows how widespread and great JJFP are.

Nas feat. Puffy "Hate Me Now"

It seems pretty active to me, I mean it is summer, people do things, go out, have fun, no one has time to sit in the forums all day, I'm not too worried about it.

Yeah, when I first heard it, the beat immediately reminded me of Switch, but it is a fun catchy song, I like it.

Philly has done a good job signing everyone, but its all about Miami next year, the Diesel is taking them all the way.

I can't wait for that, what happened to the pink Vanilla Ice?

I agree with Tim that Lost and Found is much better than Big Willie Style. There is much more substance, it shows his growth from BWS up to L&F.
