I liked the poem, I can feel the emotion! :thumb:

I like Talib Kweli too, he's a great lyricist with an aggressive flow. Does he have a single out now? Wow, it's been awhile but now I'll have some new hip-hop CDs to buy! :switch: I got that new LL CD last week which is crazy, I still wanna get that new KRS-ONE CD with that bonus DVD but I don't see it in any of the stores so I'll have to order it online, I was almost forgetting about that Roots CD I wanna get that too, and when those Nas and Talib Kweli CDs come out I wanna get those too!

[quote=JumpinJack AJ,Sep 7 2004, 09:25 AM]U know how rappers like Jadakiss try 2 do songs like "Why" and try 2 be all deep and serious about it, but u can never take them serious. Well, this is one of those legit postive songs.[/quote] I think Jadakiss did that song just for popularity 'cause it seemed kind of awkward for him to do a song like that, it would've been better if DMX did that song 'cause he always bring emotion when he rhymes, I was surprised that DMX retired last year 'cause I enjoyed his videos and songs since he didn't represent that bling-bling era that others rappers were over these last 5 years, he was speaking from the heart in his songs. First Deion Sanders is coming back, now MC Hammer too? I'm looking forward to seeing the video even though I haven't been that much into him but he could drop some knowledge on the younger cats out now.

The reason why they probably asked Cassidy about Will is 'cause Cassidy is from Philly too. Hey there are other rappers out there that spend millions of dollars of jewlery and don't give money to charity.

Cassidy is a new artist who doesn't know Will so he shouldn't say **** like that!

Happy Birthday! :rock:

Hey I'm chillin' in the chat room right now if anyone wants to join me! :thumb:

I think Nas will find another record label after this album, but he has his own independent label already called Ill Will Records(named after his friend Ill Will that was killed). I like his group the Bravehearts, they're one of the better groups in hip-hop but they get overshadowed 'cause of the success of Nas like the Outlawz do 'cause of the success of 2Pac. I don't know how well this new album is gonna do saleswise 'cause "Thief's Theme" hasn't been getting much airplay, but there's no doubt regardless that this album is gonna be dope 'cause Nas has never disappointed me, he always comes with something hot!

That rhyme's dope, I can smell a battle! :clap: How u gonna respond to that J-O-E?

Why would wanna remake a song from somebody that does songs with B2K, that's wack! You gotta be able to take criticism if you wanna make it, if somebody doesn't like they don't like it, you could do better, if you can't take the heat don't rap! :ditto:

I like the song a lot, I like that you like to let the audience know about your life through your songs, a lot of rappers are fake but you rap straight from the heart, keep on flowing! :clap:

Right now I'm listening to the Tribe Called Quest album "The Low End Theory", I really want to hear a new album from them! Gotta give it up to them 'cause they're a legendary group!

em was a better rapper when he was underground, since he became famous he's been saying the same **** over and over like Jay-Z does now who was also another rapper that was better as an underground mc. I don't think I'll be buying his album when it comes out, but that's just my opinion, and I'm not gonna stop you from buying it if you want to. Considering that there's more white people buying hip-hop than black people you'd figure that there'd be more white rappers in the game than em. I'm not being racist at all when I say that I'm just saying that since all kinds of people listen to hip-hop there should be more diversity of different kinds of rappers in the game, it'd only make sense. :ditto:

I don't like "No More" too much, it's too mellow of a song to have after "Potnas" on "Willenium", if that track was off the album and a song like "Holla Back" in it's place "Willenium" would be even more of hip-hop classic.

All I care is that Will's album's dope, if it's hot, people will buy it, he don't have to put out no gimmick single to sell records, Eminem can do whatever he wants, stop comparing Eminem with Will, Eminem can't be a serious threat to Will lyrically 'cause Will's been in the game for almost 20 years and it doesn't matter how much records he sells from this point on!

You're right for the mainstream this Eminem is a major threat but if a lot of people like "Switch" it won't mean much of a difference, but I don't think Will should change the release date 'cause Eminem's droppin', there's gonna come a time when those fans who bought Eminem's previous albums turn their back on him, so that means that Will should ignore Eminem and just drop the album whenever he wants to drop it, the people have to make a choice what album they want and if they buy Eminem's album so be it, it doesn't take anything away from Will.

I would like to hear MC Hammer dissin' Eminem, I never heard him diss anybody before.

Fabolous was on the song? How did he sound on the song? He ain't no conscious rapper! Wasn't LL originally scheduled to be on this song?

Eminem, 50 Cent, and D12 ain't in my opinion the best lyricists but there's no doubt that these cats have talent.

LL brings hope for all the ol' school mcs, this might not be his best album, but he's still miles ahead of the rest of the game. The next single should be "I'm About To Get Her" with R.Kelly on the hook and Teddy Riley producing the track, it don't get any better than that!

:eek4: Wow CL Smooth was really pissed! It's a shame that him and Pete Rock ain't together anymore, but it's like that a lot with groups, Eric B. and Rakim broke up, and Kay Gee left Naughty By Nature, it's hard to find a situation like JJFP and Run-DMC(if JMJ was still alive they'd all be performing together still as Run-Dmc) where they're potnas 4 life .

Since we've been waiting for this new album for so long maybe they're working on a bonus DVD they'll put in the 1st 500,000 copies of the CD with live performanes/behind the scenes/some music videos/interviews, so the diehard fans that buy the album 1st will get it and later on they'll put the DVD on sale for everyone else! It's a dream though isn't it?

Anyway since we're talking about the best thing about the VMAs, my favorite moment was when Fat Joe rocked the house wit "Lean Back", even Big Will was feeling that performance! :rock: It's nice to see Fat Joe getting some recognition after being an underground mc for many years.

After listening to it, there's no doubt that I'm gonna pick me up a copy at work 2day, it sounds better than 10! :rock:
