TooFresh Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Well, code red is one of the best album in hip hop history.. It doesn't matter for me that it didn't sell so much, we all know how good and fresh it is!! U can't skip a track of code red, it's a masterpiece and what makes it sooooo goood are the beats.... TIMELESS!!!! another reason that makes code red a masterpiece is I WANNA ROCK, I love that song too much, u can feel the perfect chemistry betweenn jj n fp in that song...great! but I don't know if it's the best will smith album... best JJ+FP for sure, now I really like lost&found that lirically is great..maybe the beats are not on the same level of code red. WHAT A PITY!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny 5 Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 I try not to compare the works of JJFP and Will, In my mind they're still totally separate, apart from the obvious like Pump Me Up, So Fresh etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 (edited) "Code Red" is no doubt a classic album, I was just sayin' when the media usually talk about JJFP's career they won't say that "Code Red"'s their best album, they'd most likely mention "He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper" and "Homebase" 'cause they were the albums that they were most known for and featured their timeless hits "Summertime", "Brand New Funk", and "Parents Just Don't Understand", for that reason "Code Red" is an underrated classic just like "Willenium" 'cause they weren't the highest sellin' albums at the time and they didn't get any awards, a lot of classic albums get overlooked by many great artists if they ain't the highest sellin' artist and that's ignorant, they should talk about content, not sales, a lot underground albums get overlooked too, "Code Red" is right up there with "The Chronic" and any of the high sellin' albums that time, it's surprisin' that it only sold 200,000 with 5 singles, that's what makes it even more amazing that "Lost and Found" sold 600,000 with only "Switch", it's hard to compare albums 'cause Will's had so many classics but "He's The DJ..." is in a league of its own since it shows all of JJFP's original style, they gotta do another album together, just them, no featured rappers or producers in order to top that one.

Lerkot Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Its really strange that the CD didnt sell more. Will was at his FPoBA peak when it was released, and they used the best tracks as singles and all... really strange, I guess we were fighting bad promotion once again.

bigted Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 (edited) Well if JJFP did another album together with no major features it probably wouldn't sell much but I think it'd be the best album to listen to, I wanna hear more of Jazzy's scratching than I do catchy hooks, that's what matters anyway, most albums that sell much now are kinda wack too, I don't think people consider "Encore" classic, "The Chronic" was at least a high quality album, '93 was one of the last years of most of dope hip-hop being on the mainstream, now most great albums get slept on.

fan 4ever Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Yep...Code Red is a classic! My fav JJFP album ever made! I hope that they will ever do a full JJFP album together and that it sounds just like this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gridwiz Posted August 11, 2005 Members Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 I'm gonna have to check it out again because the first time I heard it I didnt like it. I felt he was trying to be too hard and his voice sounded straind. Not to mention if you go to any used record store you'll find 5-6 copies of it for a buck. As for "He's the DJ" it'll always hold a special place in my heart because that was the album that he was doing when I seen him in concert the first time. EPMD,Public Enemy,JJ & FP, & Run DMC. That was the badest concert I have ever been to. PE stole the show though with the S1W's standing gaurd with uzi's all around the stage and that was "Nation of Millions". I went by myself because I sold a poem I wrote to a friend who wanted it to get a girl. It didnt work out for him but I had a blast watchin Freddy take Jeff off the stage after their set. I think I was the only white dude on the floor that night. But, back to the topic at hand. I'll say Homebase was the best because of pure flow.I'm All That, Summertime, This Boy Is Smooth, The Things That You Do, Ring My Bell, and Caught In the Middle. The only song I didnt really like was "Blinker". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbfprince Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 I'm gonna have to check it out again because the first time I heard it I didnt like it. I felt he was trying to be too hard and his voice sounded straind. That might be the case in "Boom!", but for the rest of the album FP didn't seem to be "hard" at all. It's just that one track.
