Cough... Oscar... Cough...

Jonny or someone... ya gotta post the lyrics for "Born 2 Reign" there. That track is the definition of an artist spitting fire. Born 2 Reign I believe in God I believe in Destiny Not destiny in the sense of all our actions being pre-determined But destiny in the sense of our ability to choose Our ability to choose who we are and who we are supposed to be Yo yo yo I was born to reign Point blank my name To be etched in stone My destiny pre-ordained Trying to live righteous Fighting for life, this my life And That's why I go light on my vices Tightening the vices of truth on the ruthless This rhyme and the crime is their mind is just useless The path of the poison The genesis of the genecide You and your boys trying to decide What to write but your pen is a sword And the blade is being forged Young minds getting gorged States have been altered by liquor, by weed And then hate gets exalted as art falls to greed Choices is made, as the voices is layed On the track Contract, your souls the way you sold your rage Did you see his new benz But the mic is the syringe Now you proud of your binge Got a lot of new friends Got a lot of new ends Bought a house up in the hills Frontin shouts to the pen Giving, false accounts Of your accounts' amounts, amounts to fan treason Stands to reason Since your inception Laced with deception And bread false affection and must perish From my terrace I see the fire burn in the streets But I won't shield my eyes to the heat Born to reign

Am I the only one that still loves this track. I've heard people over time say that it was one of the weaker JJFP/Will Smith joints, but I simply don't agree. The stutter rap he does in the last verse is still one of the sickest and most original things I've heared an emcee do on a track... What are other's thoughts?

Audacity is good... Cool edit pro as well...

Thanks for the article and the link guys. Sounds like it was a great event. It could just be the lighting and the angle... Hopefully, that's what it is.

Has the headline been changed? "Tupac's Alive" isn't that bad considering the content of the Chappelle skit.

I think it'll do pretty well. Every guy from 26 down is going to want to see it and it's in an entirely new and different format... Everything before was cartoon animation or live action... The CGI looks great from what I saw, but if the whole movie is that good, it should do well.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to see this!!!! I'll be the first person in line... I actually thought that this was the trailer for Transformers... I was never much of a Transformers fan, but I started watching just to see what the CGI would be like, then I see turtles... I was like, "Oh hell yeah!!!" Honestly, I'm as amped to see this as I am to see Pursuit of Happyness right now...

This looks like it will be a great movie; I'm really looking forward to seeing it. If the trailer is any indication, Will's surely turned in another Oscar worthy performance, and Jaden is just as great. He seems quite comfortable as an actor... Can't wait to see this.

Julie, so sorry I missed your birthday. But Happy Belated!!!!

It was just a warning shot over the bow... Will didn't buy up the radio station unfortunately.

This is certainly a beginning... Next, a full poster and then possibly word of a trailer.

I swear, if I see 50 and LL in a music video together with their shirts off, hollarin' at women, LL's dead to me from then on... :chuks:

It looks good... Anything that will get Republicans out of power for a few years is great. They pretty much run the three branches of government, and how people gloss over this fact while gas prices are sky rocketing, North Korea is now playing nuclear tag with real ammo, Iraq is looking worse and worse every day, and *50 is still making music is beyond me... Hopefully this will get the younger generation more involved or at the very least, thinking about these issues and more. * The 50 reference was a joke for those who will undoubtedly cite first ammendment rights...

Pictures of my new car...

The other comic got Monique good... so good that she got all sensitive... The bit on Shaq looking like retard when he plays was pretty funny too... as was the one about Hedo Turkoglu... hahaha...

LL's falling off... The first problem is that he's rushing to make another album... I think he should wait, perhaps do a few other things, otherwise people will grow tired of him. As someone else said, he wants to stay relevant, but if that means following the pattern that these new rappers have set, I'd rather he lose that relevance... The second problem is that it's with 50... I don't understand, and I won't pretend to. It's disappointing... A rapper of LL's status shouldn't be working with one of 50's... That's like Shaq seeking out Shawn Bradley so that they can work out together... A superstar shouldn't be seeking out scrubs...

Vipa, did you get this from a Basketball Forum? I saw this yesterday... That comic got sonned by Jamie Foxx... In another clip, Jason Kidd's son got roasted... Shaq almost fell over laughing.

I'd work and live within the means of the stipend while investing the money I make from my employment. There's something fulfilling about doing a full days work, especially when it's something you enjoy, so I really wouldn't be looking to quit or forego employment. I'd put money away for the kids, go on vacations and just generally try to secure the future financially for my family. I'd likely use some of the money to help extended family... I have a lot of family back in the West Indies... There are a number of things... I'd really have to sit down and plan.

Cocaine.... :sick:

Happy Birthday man... 4th of July... that's got to be fun.

That was kinda hot. "...don't buy the record, download the record..." lol, ok.

Congratulations Ace.

I'm with Schnazz... I thought it was a positive review. It may have been a little more indepth and complicated than it needed to be but as Schnazz said, it was more of a thesis than anything else. He makes some good points. The acceptance of Will into Bel Air society sort of represents the acceptance of hip hop into the mainstream with Will personifying hip hop and the Banks personifying the accepted mainstream... I agree that it's a bit convoluted... and sometimes plain odd... but all in all, it's not that bad.
