Luther Vandross "Since I Lost My Baby"

he says he's shooting a music video for i'm nice:

I got chills watching and listening to this new collaboration today: http://www.vevo.com/watch/john-legend/Quiet-Storm-(Studio-Video)/USUV71401494

he did the ice bucket challenge, from his instagram

LL needs to shoot more music videos for this album to be successful, what held Authentic back from being successful was that the bonus song Take It was the only song with a music video which is a shame 'cause there's a few songs on that album that coulda been big hits

ah i'm gonna have fun with this thread and post some videos, here's my top 5 all time songs: ll cool j feat. boyz ii men "hey lover" jjfp "brand new funk" nas "the world is yours" grandmaster flash and the furious five "the message" public enemy "fight the power" honorable mentions: krs one "step into a world"(rapture's delight) heavy d & the boyz "now that we found love" sugarhill gang "rapper's delight"

great list, i agree with most of those songs, classic music, there's a mix on youtube that has most of my favorite songs of hip hop/r&b of the '90s/2000s:

if these kids don't know ll cool j is a rapper then i can't respect their opinion on hip hop

With the JJFP performance and ice bucket challenge you figure that there'd be some buzz, yeah I was trying hard to come on here, anyway thanks Hax!

I found his interview with Big Boy on Power 106 Los Angeles yesterday:

that's what's up, way to go Will and Jeff, JJFP doing it for the cause!

It's that time of year again, I'm down to do another run of fantasy football, who else is down?

exactly, i find it kinda ironic that a day after ll cool j mentions in an episode with ed lover how will should continue to do music instead of just going hollywood that we see him with jeff performing

that was very real and inciteful, thanks for sharing

DJ Jazzy Jeff & Michael Jackson He's The King, I'm The DJ Mixtape, don't get no better: http://www.livemixtapes.com/mixtapes/10771/michael_jackson_hes_the_king_im_the_dj.html

"He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper":"If rap was basketball I'd be in luck/'Cause everytime I freestyle it'd be a slam dunk" "Just The Two Of Us":"Throughout life people will make you mad/Disrespect you and treat you bad/Let God deal with the things they do/'Cause hate in your heart will consume you too" "Girls Ain't Nothin' But Trouble":"Listen homeboys don't mean to bust your bubble/But girls of the world ain't nothin' but trouble..." "Freakin' It":"Before you rappers brag about who you're gonna put in a hearse/Do me a favor,write one verse without a curse" "Potnas":"Like Run and D you and me together forver"

well said tim, i think you'd like this new single off of chuck d's new album called "get it right or be gone", it's about all the trash that's on the radio now:

busta rhymes feat. q-tip and chauncey of blackstreet "can't hold the torch", this is how i feel when people ask me about today's rappers, they can't hold the torch of the legends, busta and q-tip are better than 99% of today's rappers still: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9ee4Ayv9P4

thanks for replying back to me nicole, i have more hope that there might be a jjfp track at least on the bad boys 3 soundtrack since there's gonna be a bad boys 3 now

ah that's what's up!!!

I know this isn't an album but this Busta Rhymes & Q-Tip mixtape released in 2013 is some quality hip hop worth mentioning: http://www.livemixtapes.com/mixtapes/25325/busta-rhymes-qtip-the-abstract-the-dragon.html

thanks for the interview, pac was always ahead of the game like you mentioned, that's what makes his music more relevant than what's currently coming out today
