Yes the wait is over! i'm gonna check hot 97 this week and see if they play it! :dj: I've been waiting years for a Snoop/FP collabo, that should be hot! :switch:

:werd: Not everyone that likes hip-hop is gonna like the same artists and this ain't gunit.com so don't expect everyone here to like G Unit.

If you gotta diss somebody to make money that's pretty low, they're all gonna weap what they sow. :ali:

LL Cool J "Make It Hot"

Hey, I thought I wasn't gonna get it for a while either, the only way I could help y'all is that it's 2 words related to that quote, read it over carefully and you'll gradually get it.

De La Soul "Me, Myself, and I", classic hip-hop track! :dj:

Yeah I pretty much summed it up there, btw I'm gonna start workin' on writin' the "Eagles '05 Super Bowl Anthem" now that they made it, hey Jeff if you're reading, I wouldn't mind if you produced it for me! :lolsign:

Hey I got it too! :rock: I knew some of this though from chatting with you the other day, Tim, but it's all good man. :thumb:

The Eagles finally won the NFC Championship, I know Jazzy Jeff's happy about that, they lost 3 straight NFC Championship games! On the other hand the Steelers exceeded expectations this year and did great, I feel bad for Bettis though, but he's still going to the hall of fame anyway. I can't wait for the Super Bowl! Go Eagles! :bowdown:

FP "It's All Good", well it is 'cause the Eagles won 2day! :thumb:

I wouldn't label it as 'ghetto'...i'd label it as 'life.' :werd: Anyone from the 'hood or the suburbs could relate to that track "Black, white, rich, poor, it's the same ol' drum"

I bring up this point that Chuck D made in November's terrordome about how rappers that are showing bad examples are getting all the glory: "DRE who i've known for years is a nice guy who has co signed so much niggitive on the black race, how can he not expect that karma to somehow circle around? Theres never peace if you never loved it from jump. And we can't blame SUGE for everything can we? What was going around in YOUNG BUCKs mind stabbing a cat in front of national cameras? Being that hes signed from 50, whos from EMINEM ,whos from DRE, shouldnt head whiteman JIMMY IOVINE train these people since he stands to profit whether the artist is dead, alive, jailed, or roaming in the so called streets? iles... I've commented on the SHYNe debacle of someone who gets a bidding war and a fat contract while doing time as if he absorbed Millennium Robert Johnson twisted blessings. Beenie Siegal does 5 videos on his way in, to keep the streets hot so he can be celebrated when he gets out. 1.8 million folks in jail, but should the have nots support rappers or celebrities that do short bids, when many dont have the opportunity or clarity to see it for what it is? Like who gives a f*ck really....? The entourages become bigger as times become harder, cats show off their excesses more, and bodyguard security gets more massive. Cats are saying all the worst sh*t about each other in the press, tv, magazines, recordings, while never doing eye to eye anything because theyre buffered by their well paid personal armies. You will never see JA RULE, 50,or JD in your local supermarket picking up some milk for the family, yet they supposed to represent the increasing havenots, while showing off what they got?"

Out of all the collabos besides Jeff, I think the Mary J. Blidge one would be the dopest 'cause she keeps it true to her artistry even though she's had a lot of success, she stays humble like FP and LL do. Kwame is a great hip-hop artist too, he's been underrated like a lot of ol' school cats are. :ditto:

I tried that for a while last night until Tim told me that I wouldn't find anything doing that! :kekeke:

is it just me or did bigted not post in this topic yet? lol

I think we only have about 4 inches here in Seaside, NJ, it's more like old man winter 2 years later(remember the blizzard of 2003?) I remember we got over 10 inches of snow in February 2003, they closed school for a whole week, that's why I graduated towards the end of June of 2003 instead of the middle, hopefully this storm ain't that bad 'cause I don't wanna lose money from not going to work, they closed where I worked yesterday early so I didn't have to go in, it's good for one day, but I don't wanna lose a whole week without pay! :bang:

:dunno: I liked that self-titled album he released in '98, has he released anything since? btw right now I'm listening to Mary J. Blidge feat. FP "Got To Be Real"

Let's no forget that Jazzy Jeff's gonna have his album out too by then probably, it'd be a nice way to promote that too! :dj: :thumb: This would be a once in a lifetime event, all these hall of fame hip-hop artists in one show!

I saw the trailer on TV a lot over the past couple of weeks, it looks like it's gonna hilarious, I can't wait to see it either, I usually don't watch movies when they come out, but I always make an exception when it comes to Will's movies 'cause they're all enjoyable, he's a great entertainer.

I'm usually working around the time Oprah is on at 4PM on the East Coast, I think it's still on the same time, I remember it was on the same time when I was little and same channel too.

:werd: The NBA champs should just be NBA champs now 'cause we lost to Argentina in the semi-finals of the Olympics and only won bronze, the WNBA champs could be called world champs 'cause they delivered the gold. I think the Eagles-Steelers'll play in the Super Bowl, they've been the 2 best teams this year, "The Bus" has proved that his tank is still full when critics were sayin' it has gone empty! :kekeke: Mcnabb has had a career year and is in the best shape of his career, there's no exuse this year for the Eagles! :ali:

It seems that you have to be in a gang and shot to get on a major label, it shouldn't be like that, it's not setting a good example for the youth, 'cause they think that if they go in a gang they'll go platinum like 50 Cent and Jay-Z. :nhawong: This song "2nd Quarter: Free Throws" by KRS-ONE explains why things are the way they are: "These are poems circulating throughout the nation everybody's bad and everybody's tough but how many people are intelligent enough to open up their eyes and see through the lies discipline themselves, yourself to stay alive? not many That's why the universe sent me today on this stage with this to to say the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer and in the final hour many heads will lose power what does the rich versus the poor really mean? psychologically it means you got to pick your team when someone says the rich gets richer visualize wealth and put yourselves in the picture the rich get richer, cause they work towards rich the poor get poorer, cause their minds can't switch from the ghetto let go, it's not a novelty you could love your neighborhood without loving poverty follow me, every mother, father, son, daughter there's no reason to fear the New World Order we must order the whole new world to pay us the New World Order and the old state chaos the Big Brother watching over you, is a lie you see Hip-Hop could build it's own secret society but first you and I got to unify stop the negativity and control our creativity the rich is getting richer, so why we ain't richer? could it be we still thinking like niggas? educate yourselves, make your world view bigger visualize wealth and put yourselves in the picture!" :werd: Rappers can't act like gangsters forever, KRS-ONE grew up homeless but he still keeps his music positive! Hip-hop is not going forward 'cause rappers refuse to grow up, the commercialism of hip-hop is great in one sense in it's popularity but in another it's rewarding those who follow trends now rather than those who try to set their own.

Happy Birthday Jazzy Jeff! :dj: :dj:

LL Cool J feat. Boyz II Men "Hey Lover", a nice chill track

:werd: I would really like to see that! JJFP are most likely gonna be part of it 'cause they're down wit all them legends, this topic should be pinned 'cause this is big news!
