Now that's what I call real hip hop show, Props!!!

Ice Cube "Why We Thugs"

Yeah well Em did pretty good sales considering he hasn't released an album in over 4 years, it just goes to show you that Em could throw up on record and it'll sell, now what's dissapointing to see is that Method Man/Redman & Busta Rhymes didn't sell much 'cause they put out quality music

Well Em's album still sold over 600,000 copies over the 1st week so I don't think the downloading affecting him too much

Hey TopDawg, Glad To See That You Enjoyed Your Birthday!

Thanks!

That's foul that Dr. Dre did that

Boyz II Men are legends in the game, it's nice to see them giving back like this

What a game last night! Dwight Howard dominated that overtime! Magic's up 3-1 but I wouldn't count the Cavs out yet

"He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper" is one of the best albums in hip hop history, it held up well against any album out at that time and against any album out now, it's classic, JJFP earned that Grammy

There's less wack emcees in this tournament than the Vibe one and you could vote a few battles at a time, that's what I'm doing, since we got a whole week to get all the votes in

Boyz II Men Announce Hip-Hop/R&B Scholarship Published Tuesday, May 26, 2009 1:30 PM By Ismael AbduSalaam Best-selling 90’s collective Boyz II Men recently appeared at Minneapolis’ Institute of Production and Recording to announce the initial planning of their new R&B/Hip-Hop scholarship. During the visit, the group participated in a Q&A panel with students to share their 20 plus years in the music industry. “It was an honor having these guys come by our school,” said Brian “Champtown” Harmon, IPR artists coordinator. “They are around first-class, great men. A lot of folks don’t understand their love for Hip-Hop. To have them be down with our scholarship program we are developing is a wonderful thing." Between 1992 and 1997, Boyz II Men dropped five #1 R&B songs and to date have sold more than 60 million albums worldwide, making them one of the most successful groups in music history. In the discussion, the trio spoke about how Philly Hip-Hop culture contributed to their record-breaking success. “A lot of people don’t know that we went to the high school of Creative and Performing Arts out in South Philly. We grew up with a lot of guys that are in the business right now,” explained Boyz member Shawn Stockman. “From ?uestlove and Black Thought from the Roots, [to] Amel Larrieux, we all went to the same school…We consider those the magic years because most of the artists that came out of that time got gold records and Grammys and things of that nature.” The group also spoke of two well known artists that most people underrate as groundbreaking emcees: Will Smith and MC Hammer. “Before Will was the Fresh Prince, him and Jeff used to do a lot of house parties at Temple University and Drexel,” Stockman explained. “How cats do it now with the buzz, Will was doing it in Philadelphia. He’d kill shows and used to be a beast, especially when Jeff was on the records.” Chiming in, Nathan Morris detailed that the group was almost signed to Smith’s production company before settling on Motown. Regarding Hammer, the Philly crooners argued that most emcees today utilize a multi-media blueprint created by the Oakland native in the early 90s. “Hip-Hop has evolved to what it is and the guys today have gotten smart,” Stockman stated. “You can say Hammer was ahead of time. People front [now] but people danced to Hammer records…He’s another guy that if it wasn’t for him bringing us out of that six month tour…we hit all 50 states. Whether the arenas were packed or not, he still went out and gave an awesome show. And that stuck in our heads, even now. We still were around the right people to build in us that work ethic that we tend to utilize today.” In addition, the group reflected on their “beef” with rivals Jodeci, and other Philly pioneers such as Steady B, Cool C, and Three Times Dope. Boyz II Men’s last album was 2007’s Grammy nominated Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA.

Whoah, Em killed those freestyles, pure fire, I didn't know that he had it in him still, now if he could only make an album with spittin' like this I just might buy it...

Yeah this is pretty awesome, I'm gonna have to think for a lil' bit before I vote for a lot of these battles here

It seems like LL and 'Bis are always linked to each other, lol, and hold up, wait a minute, ain't Guru the only rapper in Gangstar? I didn't know DJ Premiere was a rapper, we need to add somebody else in now

I just voted!

I think we could try to extend this out for everyone but Turntable could be right that nobody might not notice

I know I'm a lil' late but it's good to hear that you enjoyed your b-day Kev, rock on

I got this album on my wishlist of albums I wanna get soon, I've been checking some of this out on the internet, dope stuff
