JumpinJack AJ Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 It's not listing me as a supporter, but I signed it a few hours ago. I'm not sure what's going on with it because to the right of my screen it's acknowledging that I did sign it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted October 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 It also cut out my full paragraph about why I feel JJFP should be in the hall of fame: "This pioneering group opened the doors for a lot of hip hop artists to have success and longevity in the entertainment industry. 2019 will mark the 30th anniversary of them winning the 1st ever grammy award in hip hop back in 1989 for the song "Parents Just Don't Understand" off of the groundbreaking 1988 album "He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper". It was the excellent storytelling and wordplay on that record that convinced the legendary Quincy Jones to give JJFP the legendary sitcom "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air" in 1990 which opened the doors for other rappers like LL Cool J and Ice T to have opportunities acting on television shows today. People of all ages over the years would play at cookouts the classic 1991 record "Summertime" off of another groundbreaking hip hop album "Homebase" which was considered a strong comeback record after Fresh Prince faced financial issues at a young age, the album "Homebase" would cement JJFP to legendary status. Now they'd do countless more work since then, in particular Will doing blockbuster fims like "Men In Black" and "Hitch" in between his musical collaborations with Jeff on the hit albums "Big Willie Style", "Willennium", and "Lost and Found" and Jazzy Jeff doing production for everyone from Jill Scott and The Roots to hip hop favorites like Kel Spencer and Dayne Jordan. Now it'd be fitting for us hip hop heads to reward them with the ultimate honor in music entertainment, an induction to the 2019 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, let's do this people! Btw if you need a refresher on their music here's a playlist of their songs over their 30+ year career! http://www.jazzyjefffreshprince.com/forum/topic/16152-big-teds-jjfp-30-playlist-also-featuring-music-by-potnasl/" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigted Posted October 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 thanks for signing bro! btw i think we should also vote for LL Cool J to get in the HOF, real hip hop should be promoted in masses.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted October 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) 9 signatures after 1 week????!!! come on now JJFP have sold 30 million albums, it shouldn't be that difficult to get signatures, it's not like saying i should be in the hall of fame(at least not yet haha!) now we should tweet this to jeff, we'd at least get 1000s of signatures if he posted, he could announce it in his shows, and it'd go viral if will posted on his facebook page of 75 million followers: btw here's the updated article: This pioneering group opened the doors for a lot of hip hop artists to have success and longevity in the entertainment industry. 2019 will mark the 30th anniversary of them winning the 1st ever grammy award in hip hop back in 1989 for the song "Parents Just Don't Understand" off of the groundbreaking 1988 album "He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper".

I know their last official album was 1993's "Code Red" and despite it's low record sales it's had a long lasting impact among it's core fanbase to this day nearly 25 years later with the hit song "Boom! Shake The Room", the turntable special "I Wanna Rock", and the Teddy Riley assisted "I'm Looking For The One"(to be with me) among many others on a hip hop heads classic album. Now they'd go on to do countless more work since then, in particular Will doing blockbuster fims like "Men In Black" and "Hitch" in between his musical collaborations with Jeff on the hit albums "Big Willie Style", "Willennium", and "Lost and Found" and Jazzy Jeff doing production for everyone from Jill Scott and The Roots to hip hop favorites like Kel Spencer and Dayne Jordan. Now it'd be fitting for us hip hop heads to reward them with the ultimate honor in music entertainment, an induction to the 2019 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, btw I'm hoping to get enough signatures to have committee consider making a push for 2018 along with LL Cool J repping the real hip hop music, let's do this people! Btw if you need a refresher on their music here's a playlist of their songs over their 30+ year career! http://www.jazzyjefffreshprince.com/forum/topic/16152-big-teds-jjfp-30-playlist-also-featuring-music-by-potnasl/ Edited October 13, 2017 by bigted wanted to add more things to it about hall of fame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted January 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 10 signatures in 3 months??? hip hop is officially dead... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevTastic Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Ted. Sorry Man, but realistically this was never gonna go too far. I think Will and Jeff are pretty content with how there careers and awards have come about. I don't think this is a big concern for us the fans or them.

bigted Posted January 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 well the record speaks for itself, they've achieved more than they've dreamed of but it seems like certain people have taken their careers for granted since they're just as deserving for the hall of fame as any other so called legend is, maybe one day they'll get on the ballot....
