MIB Soundtrack, I brought out this CD on the note of there's gonna be "MIB3D"

Nas "Small World"

Naughty By Nature "Family Tree", a great song off an underrated album

Big Daddy Kane Feat. Kool G Rap "Raw"(Remix)

I'm not really a big fan of Wu-Tang either but I respect the fact that they're great lyricists

I thought Nelly's last album had some good songs on it, just like that "Body On Me" song you just mentioned, "Self Esteem" with Chuck D & "Hold Up" with LL & TI, he's a good cameo rapper: Right now I'm listening to Jazzy Jeff's MJ Tribute Mixtape "He's The King, I'm The DJ": http://www.livemixtapes.com/mixtapes/10771/michael_jackson_hes_the_king_im_the_dj.html

It's the return of the golden era with all these albums coming out

If Kanye brings back to the form of when he originally came out then it should be interesting, Drake's one of the most overrated newer rappers I don't see what's all the hype's about with him, and we already know what I think about Eminem, lol... TI also is comparing his new album to Pac's "All Eyez On Me" which I think is setting up for a downfall 'cause don't get me wrong he's aight for a radio rapper but he's nowhere near Pac's level...Hi-Tek and Talib Kweli are supposed to be working on a new album, they put out a hot mixtape earlier in the year...The one album I'm really looking forward to is Rhymefest's "El Che" which comes out on my mama's b-day May 18th...

Dr. Dre "Been There, Done That", one of my favorite songs from Dre

LL Cool J "Pump My S***"

Yeah from I heard on the internet there's some good stuff but it's not like it's the 2nd coming of "Illmatic", you're right it probably won't be a top 5 album by the end of 2010 since the legendary album makers like KRS/Premier, Nas/Damien Marley, LL, Wyclef, Ice Cube, Cypress Hill, and Naughty By Nature are all gonna have albums out in 2010 but it may be at top 5 album at this time since there's not much albums are out at this point, there's a lot of good mixtapes I heard but not much albums in 2010 yet, the veterans I mentioned need to come out and show these new rappers how to make albums, hopefully "The Magnificent 3" and a JJFP album come out soon enough as well

DJ Finesse "Let's Take It Back To The Old School, Part 4" http://www.livemixtapes.com/mixtapes/3096/lets_take_it_back_to_the_old_school_part_4.html

I found this on SOHH.com DJ Premier has opened up on the recent passing of Guru and revealed his hopes for the future of Gang Starr. From Premier hopes their past works will financially provide for the late rapper's son. "I want the name to stay alive... but the right way. I don't have a hidden agenda. His son should get that money. Of course I'll get my half and that's not on no selfish ****. That's just off of what we built together. Nothing can take away from what Gang Starr did. That's what I was stressing to Guru before he passed. We have tons of footage and DVD material that could have been sold. This is way before he was sick. I plan to discuss what can be done with Guru's family. I don't care if it's from a lawyer's standpoint. The main thing is we never dissolved our Gang Starr contract. We are still signed to each other. We never disbanded the group. If Guru really wanted to super dead it he would have said, 'Yo, I want out.' And I still would have tried to convince him to stay. We are still Gang Starr." (VIBE) Last week, Premier revealed his final hospital visit with Guru. "If you love him, and you're taking care of him, why the f**k did his nails look longer than a f*cking ruler?!" Premier directed toward Guru's partner Solar during a Sirius broadcast. "[And] a clump Afro?! I've taken care of people in the hospital [before]. You can wash their hair and cleantheir nails off. His feet were swollen and his toenails were really disgusting...I took the logo on my shirt and rubbed it against his whole body and told him a message from me about how much I loved him, and that we were for life and still were for life. Then I kissed him on his face and let him know that I was going to miss him because it seemed like he was already gone." (All Hip Hop) Prior to speaking on Solar, Preem said he would resist talking about Guru's alleged final letter. "IT WAS A SAD DAY FOR ME TO GET CONFIRMATION ON THE DEATH OF A MAN WHO I WILL CONTINUE TO CALL MY BROTHER, KEITH ELAM, BETTER KNOWN AS GURU OF THE LEGENDARY GANG STARR," he wrote. "FROM 1988-2004, WE EXPERIENCED SO MUCH SUCCESS TOGETHER THAT WE WERE ABLE TO EXPAND OUR BUSINESSES INDEPENDENTLY AND GIVE EACH OTHER WHAT GURU CALLED "CREATIVE SPACE," BEFORE PLANNING TO REUNITE FOR OUR 7TH LP WHEN THE TIME WAS RIGHT. TRAGICALLY, WE WILL NEVER REACH THAT DAY. I'VE BEEN ASKED TO COMMENT ON A LETTER SPEAKING ILL OF ME WHICH WAS SUPPOSEDLY WRITTEN BY GURU IN HIS DYING DAYS. ALL I WILL SAY ABOUT IT IS THAT OUR TIME TOGETHER WAS BEAUTIFUL, WE BUILT A HIP HOP LEGACY TOGETHER, AND NO ONE CAN RE-WRITE HISTORY OR TAKE AWAY MY LOVE FOR HIM. ONE THING I WOULD NEVER DO IS PLAY AROUND WITH THE TRUTH ABOUT HIS LIFE. I WILL CELEBRATE GURU'S LIFE... I WILL HONOR HIS MEMORY... I WILL GRIEVE WITH THE ELAM FAMILY OVER HIS UNTIMELY DEATH..." (Statement) Guru's brother, Harry Elam, recently inked an editorial piece speaking on his condition. "My brother Keith Elam, the hip-hop artist known as GURU--Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal--died this week at the too-young age of 48 because of complications from cancer. 'Positivity' was what he sought to bring to the music and to his life, and for me that will be a large part of his legacy," he wrote. "In February of this year, my brother went into a coma, and I traveled across the country from my home in California to see him. At his bedside, I stood and stared at his overly frail frame, his head that he had kept clean-shaven for the last 20 years uncommonly covered with hair, hisbody connected to a sea of tubes and wires. I listened to the whirl of machines around us and took his hand. As I did, my mind flashed back to now-distant times, so many memories..." (Boston Globe)

I was more referring to this leading to his comeback in music, everybody knows Will's not gonna stop acting

Michael Jackson "Thriller"

Jay Electronica "Exhibit C"

Chamillionaire "Money Already Made"

The original "Men In Black" song may be more popular but I liked "Nod Ya Head" better when that came out, Will was spittin' hard, if the whole "Born To Reign" album had that edge to it it'd been classic, now if Jazzy gets an input for MIB3 then it'd be huge

Hell yes, "MIB3D" sounds like the perfect comeback for the Fresh Prince

Yeah it's all about quality of music, if you could make great music then you could remain relevant no matter how old you are, the reality is too that the veterans are the ones that're keeping hip hop alive the most 'cause they're still out there doing it better than a lot of these young rappers out now so there's no doubt that JJFP could bring it with another album

Method Man Feat. Redman "Walk On"

KRS-ONE "Criminal Minded '08" (Produced By DJ Premier)

LL Cool J "Bring On The Mos and Hos"

I found this 1994 Interview From The Source: http://www.thesource.com/articles/9484/The-Definitive-GangStarr-Story-%28Part-1%29/?thesource-prod=ngfkgltcodvkjt74iec568l2r1

That's like saying 4 mics out of 5
