Hey jjfp fam its been awhile merry christmas. I haven't been online lately because of the storm sandy hitting seaside And I didn't have a computer to use I'm thankful for familyn friends supporting me thru this time. I got Android ipad wit wifi so hopefully y'all will hear from me more often. I'm over at my uncles house wit my mama right now until we find a new place to live were taking it one day at a time making the most of the holiday but its not the same especially since the beginning of the year when my father was diagnosed with dementia n had to be put in a rehab where the still is right now he's doing ok but I haven't been able to visit lately wit all going on so like most I'm hoping 2013 will be a better year I notice there's not much going on in hip hop these days either. Ll is planning authentic hip hop for feb. Not much else to look forward to there needs to be more rappers out there to inspire people I'm hoeful to be that one from all I experienced this year I have a story to tell jjfp need to do something asap hip hop needs some life.

WBLS did a mix of a lot of the artists that Chris Lighty managed, his impact will never be forgotten, RIP

thanks for that AJ, it's nice to know that he's working on this comeback

That fool can't mess with LL, haha

Thanks for that interview, MC Shan should do a comeback album

May Your Grandmother Rest In Peace AJ

what a find!!!

i'd start watching 106 & park again if you became host, BET fell off for years

I'm with you Jim, there's been so many rumors that never came true in recent times so I'll believe it when I hear it!

It's a shame that Skillz never got a chance to blow up big as he should've but since he does have that talent he'll always be around as a songwriter, there's so many out there that need schooling on how to write a good song

the album's out on itunes right now, i want it on cd too, hopefully it does well on itunes so there could be a cd release

Bum Rush the Show" -- during its concerts but also by unleashing a wealth of new music. Frontman Chuck D tells Billboard.com that the iconic rap group is in the process of finishing up a pair of albums planned for this year -- "Most of My Heroes Still Don't Appear on No Stamp" during the summer and "The Evil Empire of Everything" in the fall. "They're twins, fraternal twins -- not identical, but they will talk to each other," D says. "The statement with these albums isn't so much just within the content but in the audacity of the release, just like, 'What the hell? Two albums that bookend the summer? What the hell?!' But we know we've got a fan base that's kind of acclimated and used to albums because we were the first to come along and kind of bring a concept album to the hip-hop marketplace. So we oblige this year by doing not one, but two." Chuck D Talks New Public Enemy Albums, Skid Row Festival Performance D says both albums contain "powerful songs and great collaborations," including appearances by Brother Ali, Henry Rollins, Tom Morello, DMC, Bumpy Knuckles, Large Professor and more. And though they're certainly of a piece, D adds that each of the albums will have defining characteristics. "Maybe in the past one would've been an A side and the other a B side, or it would've been a long CD," he explains. "But halfway into making it we decided to have two different aspects, one that dealt with the whole movement of people ('Most of My Heroes...') and the other that deals with the situation of everything coming at you at once, like a blizzard ('The Evil Empire of Everything')." The new music will certainly add spice to Public Enemy's silver anniversary, and fresh off a tour of Australia, D says he's appreciating the global impact the group has had since "Yo! Bum Rush the Show" came out. "I think the thing that's always been the saving grace with Public Enemy is we've always traveled to different parts of the world," he says. "If it was just a one-country thing, I'd be like, 'OK, where is our future?' But because we spread ourselves all over the world, over 80 countries in 25 years, it's seemed like one enjoyable adventure. We've never been subject to one country's standards or hot topics or trends. That's helped us. It's been one of the rare situations where we've marched to the beat of our own electronic drummer. These 25 years have been really enjoyable." Public Enemy continues its celebration on May 27 at the Movement Electronic Music Festival in Detroit and is also booked at the Heineken Open'er Festival on July 6 in Gdynia, Poland.

Exit 13's actually one of my favorite albums of the last 5 years in hip hop, a lot of the top albums of this time period had guest appearances that didn't fit, that's why I said it's the sign of the times but not many of those albums had Marley Marl and DJ Scratch production so that actually makes it better

congrats to will!

XXL.com, "Exit 13" was basically a sign of the times, LL did his thing as usual but he was trying too hard to go multiplatinum by doing collabs that clearly didn't fit but there was also some production with Marley Marl and DJ Scratch which made it a great album, I hope Rick Rubin is doing some production on this album, and we all want that JJFP collaboration with him to happen

LL Cool J Talks Working on New Album LL has already started to lay the groundwork for his 13th studio album… Just because LL Cool J hosted the 54th Annual Grammy Awards this past February and has a recurring role on CBS’ drama, NCIS: Los Angeles, doesn’t mean he’s forgot where he came from. The multi-platinum and legendary rapper revealed that he’s working on a new album. “As far as the album is concerned, it’s real authentic hip-hop, you know what I’m sayin?” LL told XXL yesterday (June 20), after announcing the launch of his new virtual studio recording software, My Connect Studio, in conjunction with Sony. “It’s LL Cool J being LL Cool J. “It’s 2012, so it doesn’t sound like it would sound if it were 10 years ago or 20 years ago, but it’s definitely official,” he added. Although LL didn’t reveal a title or ballpark release date, he did suggest that his 13th studio album would give listeners something that they haven’t heard. “It’s a breath of fresh air,” he said. “It doesn’t sound like anything that’s out right now. I think it’s crazy. It’s the business. It’s real.” Exit 13 back in September of 2008 marked LL last LP offering, as he hasn’t dropped a new album since. Yesterday, he also shared that he already started using his My Connect Studio software, which essentially allows two people to collaborate on music real time despite their location, to record parts of his new album. “I’m going to be doing a little bit of the album on the studio, make sure that it is official,” the MC discloses. “And as a matter of fact I started on my album too. It’s authentic hip-hop, it’s the business.”—Mark Lelinwalla

I want in!

I ain't really worried about what rappers beef, like LL said many times there's too much tension in hip hop these days and battling ain't fun no more, I don't want no part of beef either, personally I think I'm on the verge of finally getting a record contract since my local radio heard me freestyle for 2 minutes and told me that I got skills like LL and Fresh Prince I grew up on, I know I got more skills than these wack mcs but I'm set to do my thing, artists should focus on making some good music and leave the beef to the side...

"I know some of you out there as my friends might have a hard time believing some of this stuff that I typed but I swear with god as my witness that this is nothing but the truth coming from my heart, I've been reflecting with my mama about events that've happened within the last year between family, friends, people in general, the weather, current events, and we realise that these might be the las...t days, here's my story, god bless y'all for reading: me and my parents saw an image of a cross 11 times at my neighbor's house between June 2, 2011 and July 13, 2011, one time my mother was the only one of us three who saw an image Jesus with red streaks, most of the other times we saw a holy trinity of crosses. I'd write down everytime we saw these crosses in my bible. In between this time period there was a couple of significant events that happened in life, my uncle tommy was told that he could've had colon cancer around his birthday but then he was diagnosed cancer free, we were supposed to have this tropical storm in the jersey shore a month later in august 2011 that was supposed to be the worst in history but it turned out that we all survived it and me and my parents did not evacuate nothing happened to our house or anything around it in town. After this time period we didn't see any more images of crosses until easter of 2012, by that time my father got sick and was put away in a rehabilation center with psychotic dementia, seizures, and we were told that he had lumps in his lung that might've been cancerous, so it's just me and my mother living together now, anyway the reason why i bring easter 2012 is the other neighbor by us had an ...image of a holy trinity on his yard and then a month later my father had tests and we were told that he don't have cancer in his body. The reason why I'm typing this message tonight is I came across this image of a cross once again when i was eating dinner with my mother at our neighbor's house that had the cross there 11 times before during last summer and by the way we also saw the image of a cross on may 10th which was the day that my father had the tests on his lumps at the neurologist. For the past year or so we've been hearing the ocean really strong here in Seaside Heights right from our house and our family lives towards the bay and not the ocean, we've been living here from 18 years and we never heard it that strong before as we did the last year. It also came to my mind as I'm typing this that we had an earthquake here on this east coast around august which was before we were supposed to have that tropical storm, and I came across this article tonight that i posted on my page here after me and my mother had deep conversation at the dinner table about a lot of events of the world and our family during the last year and we were asking each other if the world is going to come to an end of second coming of jesus christ so i decided to do a google search on "second coming of jesus christ" and i came across your article and was inspired by it and all the testimonies on there with the feedback so I had to tell my story too, god bless you all." This is what I typed on the feedback section of this article I found on the second coming of Jesus, I'm definately a believer that something earth changing is about to happen soon, I pray that this will be all for the better for us positive people that follow god: http://www.whatchristianswanttoknow.com/biblical-signs-of-the-second-coming-of-jesus-christ/comment-page-1/#comment-11576
