Yeah man thats real dope but right off the bat I would've asked about him and Jeff and a new record. He wouldn't hesitate or get mad to answer. thats very dope though that you had a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet FP. :dancingcool:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AJ! great to have you on this board. hope you have an eventful, relaxing day. :rock: :peace:

DAMN DUDE! that is awesome too bad u didnt ask about his music!!!!!!!!!!!!

please....this is such crap. no offense. All these people can literally buy themselves outta jail. Plus, celebrities get away with so much crap its not even funny. According to celebrities, they are above the common people and above the law. In which no one is.

sorry if this offends anyone....all in a joking matter.... "now that's my type a nigga"

[quote=WildWildWillennium,May 2 2004, 10:25 AM]I've got Kanye's back on this one. I can't agree that he's got no rapping skillz...u have 2 check out more than just a couple of his trax. Imagine if someone came here and judged Will's talent on the mic with "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It"...haha...we'd obviously tell them 2 buy the album and check him out. That's how it is with Kanye. "All Falls Down" may not show his skillz, but check out his album...it's genious.[/quote] So true. I downloaded some of the album and it's really good. I gotta go buy it sometime soon. Kanye's got skill. It's there.

I too like and have mad respect for Kayne West. I totally agree with the points made above. He's definatly different than everyone else including his Roc-A-Fella crew in the game today.

The first single will be with Mary J. Blige as was reported in a UK interview. For real though, FP needs more respect. Columbia screwed his hip-hop image and street credit with the crap they pulled. Tommy Motola and the rest of the idiots thought that by cross-promoting his films and music, it would sell well. Well yeah, sounds like a plan, but it wouldn't continue to work. Having "Black Suits Comin' " as the first single off Born to Reign burned the album and Will's respect as an emcee. What should have been the first single was "How Da Beat Goes". I don't get how 1,000 kisses was released. No offense, but that's just not the single type song. You didn't see "Chasin' Forever" or "Afro Angel" as singles did you? Nope. Again, Columbia screwed up. I'm thinking FP should go back to Jive. He may be old yes, but Jive always did a great job with promotion of JJFP. Remember it wasn't their fault "And In This Corner" didn't sell well. Jive would revive the original JJFP image of fun hip-hop. Not FP being a bigshot hollywood sellout whos desperatly trying to make music as Columbia promoted him as. So what if Jive is full of pop artists. JJFP could easily get around that. Who knows. I'm just dying to hear some new music.

[quote=Vipa,Apr 27 2004, 08:45 PM]So Fresh was Released (Technically). There is a single or 2 out, and a video. It got mad play on BET back in 99/2000. Sony, however, didn;t want much to do with the video. It was actually will who had to do most of, everything, himself. Hot video though. it plays into the Will2k video. Jeff uses that thing to go back to the 80s, where verything kicks off. As for freakin' it. Yea it's been a while since I've seen it, but it was a good video. i don't care what people say, it's a good track. not the best in willennium, but good non-the-less.[/quote] Was it really a hot hit on BET? wow thats really cool. See how Sony missed out. wow they really suck. I know So Fresh was released on vinyl but is it out on CD anywhere?

I've been listening to this song a lot lately and I gotta admit, it's one of the deepest songs ever. I love the lyrics so much. I use to never care for this track much, but as I grow older and comin' more mature, I understand this and it's dope. "from the mountain to the valley to the deep blue sea all I can do is pray that you wanna be with me I'm saying it's from my heart that's how you know that it's true yo I can't wait to be with you" thats some really good stuff. I know this track was recorded for Will's first wife but wow, he really ripped this song. You can just tell by listening to the emotion in his voice, that he really put hard work and really meant word for word (like he always does) in this song.

[quote=Daedalus Mortality,Apr 27 2004, 12:39 PM]why do you all guess sony wantd that song? why couldnt will hav made that song becouse he likes the music? And releasing so fresh as the second single? So fsh did get released as a single wich was a mistak in my eys, maybe will wantd to film a video or soemthing but as a singl it wouldnt work ( singles are made to promote and be comercially succesfull, not as art)[/quote] Why do we guess? Look at it this way, Sony wanted to use the same formula that Will had with Big Willie Style and "gettin' jiggy wit it" in general. They were looking for another famous "catch phrase". Will and Sony tried with "Freakin' It" but it failed. Who says "Freakin' it" or "lets freak this"? lol. nobody. I still hear people say "lets get jiggy wit it" or whatever. Too bad that single poorly represented what Willenium was all about. Don't get me wrong, the lyrics are absolutly great, but just the whole production of the song with trackmasters and using that same "Love Hangover" (i think) sample that is used alot in hip-hop, the song came out wrong. He could have totally changed that song. So Fresh would have made sense to be the second single. It would have picked up where Will 2k left off. Plus, it would have been a hit on channels like BET. It's a collaboration of 4 elite hip-hop artists and this song cleary represents them and what rap was back then and what rap should be now. Will had to pay for the video all by himself and dumbass Sony never promoted it and left it hanging. Basically Will wasted his money in a way. The song was released as a single but only as a "Promo" to DJ's. This was an example of Sony screwing Will with Willenium. :cussing:

It's hard to do it online. I'm going by the idea of each rapper must post a freestyle in 2 days - or their automatically out, we can't keep waiting for so long. Don't participate if you know you have finals, trips, etc coming up.

I'd rather have "Boom! Shake the Room" on that list then "Will 2k". "Will 2k" was a classic new years/millenium song that was awesome.

haha he looks too british! lol..... nice pics...i wonder if hes thinking about going on a tour of his own in the near future?

[quote=djsilvertiger,Apr 25 2004, 12:35 PM]You know what I thought was funny? From Boom: "I told my mother I would never make a wack jam" From the interview: "Yeah, Boom is wack". God Blessa![/quote] LOL!!!! omg i cant believe i never relized that! haha!

wow that is whack. Those songs are still awesome. But they are far from bad. I would have never expected this from VH1.

hmm...so Will was ready to spit back funny how he said "i'm above that..." ...man i wish he did...that would be hot. lol.

[quote=TooFresh,Apr 24 2004, 11:04 AM]In my opinion da butta is very good. I never skip this track and I think that with songs like this, will 2k and so fresh, willennium becomes a classic hip hop album. Probably u don't like it, but willennium needs it to be compleate!! [/quote] Definatly, just I woulda prefered MC Lyte or Queen Latifah but its all good.

Is it just me or does it seem like these forums a loading a little slowly the past couple of days. I'm on cable and its kinda choppy when loading. Did something happen to the boards like "behind the scenes"?

I had no problem listening to that. It was funny and Will did handle it all well. I wish they asked him more music questions but Boom! was definatly a shock to hear. I thought he would say maybe something from the first 3 JJFP records like "Then She Bit Me" or whatever. That's the first I heard him menchon anything from Code Red in an interview.

I'd also say The Things That U Do and Ring My Bell (Mr. Lees Remix) are my favs as well.

I love the whole album. Every track gets you dancing. So hard to pick one. I'd have to say, Summertime is my favorite track. Simply because JJFP nailed everything perfect for this track. It's a hit with an actual meaning - not like a hit like Boom! Shake the Room. Great for the mind, soul and partys. Again, I cannot choose one track, every track is excellent and the whole album is a big joy to listen to.
