You have to give 'em credit though for tryin' to push the envelope by not doin' the same thing over and over like other rap artists, I still enjoy their style!

The MIB soundtrack was a great soundtrack 'cause it has a great mix of hip-hop and R&B(ol' school/new school) artists and is a lot better than that wack Bad Boys II Soundtrack that came out last year! :rock: Go cop it, you'll be glad u did!

There's a possibility that the 1st single will be with Jazzy Jeff 'cause the word is that they worked on some of the new tracks, but in the worst case scenerio, the first single would end up wit Petey Pablo, I don't know y'all I wanna hear somethin' new! :dunno:

Kanye West is a throwback to the ol' school style of hip-hop, he's very versatile,I read an article about him in the May issue of Vibe and it was a refreshing one to read 'cause Kanye's very original compared to other rappers out right now. His style's similiar to when KRS-ONE first came out, he doesn't sound like the other Roc-a-fella rappers and I admire his hustle for the music like 50 Cent has too! :rock: I give Kanye 'nuff respect for him performing "Jesus Walks" on MTV(Direct Effect) 'cause I like to see something real on there for a change other than ignorance all the time. The reason why I like ol' school hip-hop alot 'cause it's music that stands for somethin' that'll touch others and not just benefitting the artist. The only reason why he's probably popular though is 'cause he's associated wit Jay-Z 'cause the only reason why Tatayana Ali went platinum was 'cause she was on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air wit Will Smith.

[quote=Jazzy Julie,Apr 30 2004, 02:06 PM]i think he's very different from other rappers bcoz he isnt afraid 2 do what he wants. When all the other rappers say he's weak coz he doesnt cuss in his records, he doesnt care and just keeps doing his thing. Its hard 2 find other rappers that are so laid back like fp that just wanna make feel good tracks and dont care about money or looking gangster. I think lyirically he is a lot more intelligent than others too, i still miss things in his songs that are really smart and whitty.[/quote] No other M.C. is as laid back as Will is, I think that song "Born To Reign" represents what Will's all about as far as what he stands for, he's not arrogant and cocky, he just lets his work speak for itself. "Trying to live righteous Fighting for life This is my life And that's why I go light on my vices"

What's up y'all, thanks for informing me, I voted!!! I hope they win 'cause that was one action packed movie and it shows that Will's not soft like those haters say he is! :rock:

It's amazing that they're still in the game after all these years, I was surprised that MTV showed their new video 'cause they don't respect too many ol' school artists. :cussing:

Damn, I might have to pick up that CD 'cause I wanna hear Jada's group!

If it gets released in the summer, we'll be hearing about the release date very soon 'cause it's almost May already! :dancingcool:

[quote=the real big willie,Apr 28 2004, 07:31 AM]Damn, I just brought Ali on DVD, guess I got to get it again now.[/quote] I bought it last year and it only shows the movie and the trailer! :cussing: Columbia Pictures must be out of their minds 'cause they should put everything on the DVD in the 1st place! It's all good though 'cause the movie's off the hook, if y'all didn't see it yet, check it out, Will put his heart and soul in that movie in potraying Ali. :rock:

What's up did any of y'all see the new Roots video "Don't Say Nothin'" like I saw on MTV tonite, it was hot! The Roots are always miles of ahead of other hip-hop artist when it comes to creativity, they remind me that real hip-hop still exists!!! :peace:

That song's deep, but that happens when you get older man, a lot of songs that you used to think was kinda sappy actually sound good later 'cause I used to feel that way about "No More" too, but now I find that song deep too!

Funkmaster Flex is a good DJ but he talks too much over the record, Jazzy Jeff lets the music speak for itself like a real DJ should! :rock:

What up y'all I bought the CD on Sunday at Sam Goody's and I enjoy it a lot even though I heard all these songs before,when Jazzy Jeff's mixing them, they sound even better! His scratch is always lethal! :peace:

I saw the video last weekend on MTV2 and I thought that it sounded alot better than most music that's out now. :dancingcool:

That would be hard 'cause a lot of us live in different time zones, so I really don't know how we'd be able to get on simutenously! :dunno:

On and off the camera Big Will's a funny dude, that ain't no front, that's who he is! Like Biz Markie he's always clownin' around.

Wow Big Will's everywhere these days, wasn't he in Manhatten a few days ago? I wonder if Will's gonna perform wit Jada, that would be hot! I think that Jada has a better voice than Britney or even Ashanti and I would buy an album from her before I would buy a Britney or Ashanti album if she decided to make one. :peace:

Like 2Pac,Biggie,Big Pun, and Jam Master Jay, Left Eye died too soon! :tear: Hip-hop would be much better right now if they were all still here with us but they're probably all entertaining God right now! :rock: :grouphug:

Hey man what happened to Warren G? :dunno: In the mid 90's I remember that he was a pretty popular rapper but we don't hear much from him now! He did some hot songs with Nate Dogg like "Regulate" and made a hot song for the Bad Boys movie called "So Many Ways". If Nate Dogg,Will Smith, and Warren G did a song togetha it would be dope 'cause Nate Dogg comes with some phat ass choruses that make hip-hop songs worth listening to! :dancingcool:

You just don't get it man! :cussing: 2Pac was great in many ways, ways that you can't really explain in comparing him with other rappers that are alive now, I'll admit that doing that is stupid 'cause he's in a category all of his own. Don't hate the player, hate the game,damn it! How much do you really know about hip-hop? His rap style was aggressive and it got even stronger after he got shot and gone to jail, how many times do I gotta say that?! :cussing: But now when it comes to acting he would never touch Will, there I said it! are you happy now?! Now if I want to stick to a lyrical point of view, there's no rapper in history that could talk about anything and everything going on in the world with more emotion than 2Pac and many tried to imitate him since his death but failed miserably, no rapper was ever or never will be deeper than 2Pac, there it is, enough said! I don't give a damn if you try callin' me stupid 'cause I know what the hell I'm talkin' about and I'm not gonna sugarcoat it for you 'cause you act like you know but you don't know a damn thing if you try dissin' me again. Disrespecting our deceased legends is being the real fool.

[quote=Daedalus Mortality,Apr 24 2004, 03:59 PM]"and 2Pac is the greatest ever 'cause he was able to balance his rapping/acting career better than Will Smith,LL Cool J, and Queen Latifah have been able to do" wow that sounded stupid[/quote] Don't come at me like I don't know what I'm talkin' about, put yourself in 2Pac's shoes, he was able to stay focused on his career in the middle of getting shot and going to jail! Do u really think u'd think about makin' music and studying scripts when u were almost killed and knowing that someone out there's trying to gun you down and express all your emotions of your heart through your art like that?!! He was an inspiration for many people, even those that don't like rap so don't tell me that I'm crazy for saying that 2Pac's the greatest! I know that if he were alive he would have as many leading roles if not more than Will Smith has currently 'cause he was respected for his acting as well!

I guess if Will collaborates wit Em, it might make Eminem's rap style more mature 'cause I don't think that Will would produce somethin' that's wack and corny! I'd rather see him collaborate with smarter lyricists like a Talib Kweli or a Kanye West than a rapper like Eminem.

"Summertime" was legendary but "You Saw My Blinker" was aggressive and I enjoyed that ****! :rock:

I wanna see them both do a song where they're both rappin' on it togetha, that would give Will more street cred in the hip-hop game. :dancingcool:
