First off, I dont think anyone has disrespected the victims with anything they have said, its just a discussion, maybe one that has been a little too indepth because of the subject at hand, but a discussion all the same. Its more to the point of, as much as it pains us all to see Wayne be considered the best rapper alive, if someone is considered that and are willing to be on a track for charity, then you let them be on it. Using different artists may have made the song a million times better, but if those artists dont have the pull to get people to buy it, its a waste of time. So regardless of anyones opinion, the same reason its a good idea for MJ to be on it is because it'll gain more interest, thats the same reason Weezy is present. As bad as that may be for our own personal tastes, its the truth, there are very few artists out there today that have the public clout that Weezy has.
But yeah, as much as this doesnt need to be discussed, its about the only topic with any real life in it.

Really who cares, people tastes dont define good music. This is a modern day version of We Are The World, modern day music is dominated by Lil Wayne type artists and the autotune. At least these artists are there doing something to try and make a difference. Honestly, I cant believe we are having such a debate over a charity single for a great cause. Its not aboout if they kept MJ, Lil Wayne was on it, they used autotune or Will Smith wasnt there, it's about raising funds for Haiti, cant we just focus on that and give every artist respect for agreeing/wanting to be on it? Because after all that is the BIGGEST issue.

He's linked to so many movies I'll only believe it when it starts filming, but, I'm not against any of them coming to fruition.

People wont agree but i'd like MIB3, it will be a success whatever.
Although MIB2 was pretty poor, the Agent J character can be developed for a series of new movies. If someone scripted it right, its a TV series waiting to happen IMO. I dont think it ever will be (aside from the animated series) but I think the potential is there. Even if its not MIB3 next, i want something light hearted and comedic, but I'm down for whatever regardless.

Tiger Woods is planning to issue a statement Friday, in which the disgraced golfer is expected to apologize for his behavior and discuss his return to the sport.Mr. Woods took an abrupt leave of absence from golf in the wake of a sex scandal that began unfolding in November. He will speak at 11 a.m. Friday in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., at the Tournament Players Club at Sawgrass golf course, where the PGA Tour is headquartered.
Mark Steinberg, Mr. Woods's agent, said in a statement that Mr. Woods plans to discuss his past and his future and he intends to apologize for his behavior.
The statement will occur during the week of the WGC Accenture Match Play Championship. Global consulting firm Accenture PLC is one of the sponsors that dropped Mr. Woods as a result of the scandal.
It remained unclear late Wednesday when Mr. Woods plans to return to golf. The next PGA Tour event after this weekend is the Phoenix Open on Feb. 25. The Masters, the first major tournament of the season, is April 8.
Accenture said that Mr. Woods's news conference will not overlap with its golf tournament, which started Wednesday and runs through Sunday in Marana, Ariz. The tournament tees off at noon local time on Friday—three hours after Mr. Woods's planned announcement, said Accenture spokesman Fred Hawrysh.
Ty Votaw, the PGA Tour's chief spokesman, said the tour was approached within the "past week or so" and asked to provide a venue for Mr. Woods's news conference and to assist with logistics on Friday. The tour declined to comment on what will happen Friday, though, "because we don't know what he's going to say," Mr. Votaw said.
PGA Tour rules require players to commit to a tournament by 5 p.m. the week before the event. While Mr. Woods could on Friday commit to next week's event—what is now known as the Waste Management Phoenix Open—it would be highly unlikely.
The event was the site of one of the highlights of "Tigermania," when in 1997 Mr. Woods made a hole in one at the 16th hole, which has been promoted over the years as the loudest hole in golf. Increasingly larger grandstands have been erected over the years to pack in more fans. That year, shortly before his historic victory at the Masters, fans—and Mr. Woods—erupted when his tee shot found the bottom of the cup for an ace.
But in 1999, a fan with a gun in a backpack was heckling Mr. Woods. The fan was escorted off the course. Mr. Woods has played the Phoenix event just once since then.
More likely for Mr. Woods's return would be a made-for-TV event called the Tavistock Cup. The two-day event is played in March and is very tightly controlled—both fans and media are restricted. The event also is played in Mr. Woods's gated community, meaning he could walk to the first tee.
And then, of course, he could play at the year's first major, the Masters, where decorum is stressed and fans—who Augusta National insists be called patrons—are fearful of a golf-etiquette breach that would result in their passes being revoked.
The public-relations debacle that unfolded over revelations of Mr. Woods's extramarital affairs was a major blow to his multimillion-dollar endorsement business. Accenture and AT&T Inc. severed their ties with the golf superstar. AT&T declined to comment on news of Mr. Woods's news conference.
Accenture Chief Marketing Officer Roxanne Taylor spoke with Mr. Woods's agent on Wednesday before the golfer announced that he would break his public silence, Mr. Hawrysh, the Accenture spokesman, said.
Accenture said its discussion with Mr. Woods's agent was about the scheduling of the news conference, and that the company doesn't know any details about Mr. Woods's personal life or living arrangements.
Accenture declined to discuss the terms of its contract with Mr. Woods, but noted that its decision to end its sponsorship agreement with Mr. Woods remains unchanged.
Several other sponsors, including Procter & Gamble Co.'s Gillette and Tag Heuer, a unit of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA, distanced themselves from the golfer by limiting his role in their marketing campaigns.
Despite the scandal, Mr. Woods was able to hold on to some of his sponsorship deals. Nike Inc. and sports-memorabilia retailer Upper Deck Co. have said they will stand by Mr. Woods.
A spokeswoman for Nike said on Wednesday the company's relationship with Mr. Woods remains the same. "Nike fully supports Tiger and his family through this difficult time," the company said. "We respect his privacy. We look forward to him returning to golf."
Mr. Wood's likeably scores and trust scores have fallen "significantly," since the golf pro crashed his SUV into a fire hydrant in November, says Matt Fleming, senior account manager for Davie-Brown, an Omnicom Group company that tracks the appeal of celebrities using online poll of U.S. consumers.
Prior to the incident, Mr. Woods's was ranked as the ninth most aspirational celebrity but he has now fallen to 2411th out of 2449 celebrities that are in Davie-Brown's database.
As I've said before, I dont approve of his actions off the course, but I cant wait to see him swing a golf club again.

My friends were saying today that Will totally forgot about his fans lately.. They were reminding me how he felt so bad after wild wild west because he didnt deliver what his audience were waiting from him, and how noadays he doesnt even care about making a movie that most people would enjoy. Now we have a great song for haiti and once more he demostrates he just couldnt care about music here.. Im running out of ways to defend your decitions Will..
**** all that. I dont think he forgot about us, but if you insist he did, he did it to be a full time father, something his hectic schedule has stopped him doing for many years. What more defense about his recent decisions or lack there of, do you need?

Jackson 5 - The Love You Save
Still my fave J5 track to this day
:clap: -
I think the point is, whatever can bring more awareness to the song and cause should be done, and MJ being on it willl no doubt do that. However its just a shame some people will buy it because of Michael and not because of the reason the song was made. But money for Haiti is money for Haiti, however you get it.
-
Incredible, just incredible.
I'm glad they kept MJ on the track, but even if they hadnt this is still an incredible production for a great cause. His vocals or not, this song will alwasy be connected to MJ, but thats not the issue, raising moeny for Haiti is.
Jennifer Hudson and Usher tore it up. Although its not a competition and both song are for the same cause, this absolutely owns the 'Everybody Hurts' song.
Amazing.
-
Voted!
-
Just because I know I'm not the only one...
-
Cool, if he is on it he'll probably just be part of the collective chorus, a rap would be dope tho. If Dizzee can rap on "Do They Know Its Christmas", Will can rap on this.

Brandy Feat. Ne-Yo "Good Night, Good Morning"
Ted, you should check out Alexandra Burke's version of this. Much better than Brandy's IMO. See what ya think bro.

The iPhone wasnt groundbreaking enough, now they make me want this? Bolox!

tvshowsondvd is reliable enough to be believed even if its the only source. All news has to start somewhere.

Before anyone says anything, audio is on its way, I know I've been saying that a long time, but it's actually true this time, lol. It wont be long I promise.
This is a song about artists who have passed away in the Industry, written to Tupac - Dear Mama instrumental.
Industry of Angels
I remember September ’96 when Pac got shot
It felt like music lost the heart of hip hop
His legacy always has me feeling sentimental
And that’s the reason why I’m rapping on his instrumental
Only thing I hope is to bring justice to the track
Write a letter, “Dear Mama can you bring Pac back?
And why you’re at it bring Biggie along for the ride
Coz since they died hip hop’s been on a downhill slide”
Confrontation, altercations stunted both their growth
Consumed by a beef that became bigger than them both
All we have left is the message of their success
Always remember me and prove there’s life after death
‘02 in the studio Jay was doing what he loved
Jam Master lived for music now he’s cutting up above
I was sad ‘til I remembered what Run and D said
Replaying in my head “You’ll see Jay again my friend”
I didn’t know much about him before he passed away
But needless to say I’m missing Eazy E today
A drug dealing gangbanger taken from us by AID’s
But I’m just glad he patched it up with Ice Cube and Dre
I give Meth huge respect for still reppin’ the scene
But Wu Tang aint the same without ODB
True legends to the culture prematurely deceased
J-Dilla sleep well, Roc Raider rest in peace
[Chorus]
Silhouettes of Angels forming in the darkest of skies
Not walking the earth, but still in our lives
The memories that you gave us are infinite
I feel the spirit around me when I grace the MIC
A part of me actually wants to embrace the fatal
Because I wanna live in an industry of angels
I wrote this verse on the day Michael Jackson passed away
And to be honest I really didn’t know what to say
I been wracking my brain searching for words to conserve
Probing vocabularies to put words to a verse
But nothing dispersed; I was left searching for clues
Coz when you passed a part of me died with you too
It wasn’t Neil Armstrong, M.J, it was you
Who taught me it was possible to walk on the moon
Motown 25 when you took to the stage
You stole the hearts of millions regardless of age
And though your flames burnt out I’ll ignite the embers
Coz when you left it felt like a family member
But when heartache fades and the tears start to dry
We won’t remember your death; we’ll celebrate your life
I wasn’t born in your heyday, but figured it out soon
I think it’s safe to say I moonwalked from the womb
Wearing white socks, leather jacket, thriller mask
And a shimmering white glove on the right of my hands
I swear there’s unborn babies still developing genes
In their mother’s stomachs dancing to Billie Jean
I saw this kid with his grandfather walking the streets
Asked ‘em both who they considered music’s elite
To see past generations music up to today
They just smiled and both replied “M.J”
[Chorus]
Now its moments like this when I start to reminisce
On how things have changed and how I want to relive
The moments of my life when Big L was MVP
And Left Eye was still rocking with TLC
I give it up to Aaliyah for working with Slick Rick
When Bug Pun was on the come up 100%
Back when I was a kid I wasn’t a GTA fanatic
But now I really wish I was rapping with Mr Magic
I may have missed their prime but I got love for ‘em too
I’d give anything to see Elvis wearing blue suede shoes
Or feel good with James Brown and start to lose control
So I could really get down with the godfather of soul
I kind of feel inadequate as I write this song
But before Freddie left he said the show must go on
Marvin Gaye in your lifetime you gave us midnight love
And my respect for Luther will never be too much
More than a tribute to the people in the poem
But a collective salute to all the legends there has been
Cant explain the impression there’s too many to mention
Just trust me when I say you’re still teaching me lessons
[Chorus]

Thats an eBay store waitin to happen...

I await Peter Andre's Mysterious Girl being posted... hate myself for loving that song, haha!
Its an old convo, but I think Miley Cyrus has some talent too, I think the Hannah Montana thing masks what talent she does have, but at 17 doing what she does at the level she does it at, I respect that.

Ahh man, My Type of Party is dope on so many levels. The way he blends the comical side of his abilties with topical scenerios that has you laughing but also going "thats so true, that does happen", its amazing. His combination of comedic punchlines yet thought provoking topics is honourable to any rapper out there. His flow on that track is crazy too. Mys has more depth to him on that one track, despite it being comedic, that a lot of commercial rappers can express in the entirety of their careers.
Man I need to be copping myself a physical copy of Music Mystro, the download just aint the same. You checked his new F.T.D EP yet, Brakes? Gotta reinstall iTunes before I can grab it.
-
Great work man. Very passionate.
-
Love this guy, his word play is second to none. Hard to believe he's been around since the late 90's and has never really had a big break. His talent is unquestionable. I like Chipmunk, Tinchy and the such like, but Mys takes it to a whole different level and deserves to be known on a more public basis. Very few rival Twang as the UK's best rapper, but Mystro is right there pushing Taipanic and for me is actually better in certain abilities. When they come together its intense, Half n Half on Twangs Kik Off album is mind boggling.

How many times has Yao Ming been highest vote getter? And how many times has he been deserving of it compared to other players in the league? Granted, its largely dowwn to his Chinese fan base, but votes are votes. The All-Star game is a night for the fans to be entertained, we cant change the history of the voting criteria just because a few that arent as deserving as they once were are getting votes. Its a fan night, and they're who the fans want to see.
I'm happy for AI, plus anyone more deserving of the Easts PG slot will be a reserve and play as many minutes anyway. Rondo in most likelihood.

The only thing missing is Birdman saying his Dad could beat up Jigga's Dad. This is school playground beef, Jigga should just tell the teacher Birdman is picking on him and have done with it.
Yawn. But if I was to give an opinion on this.... Lil Wayne <<<<< Jigga.... and I wouldnt reject eithers bank account.

I guess the 2009 celebrity death train just kept on rolling into 2010, what the hell is going on? Damn.
RIP Teddy.

Starting to like this idea more and more, get away from the Oscar chase and return to the series that really put him on the map in Hollywood. Like Brakes said, Classic FP.
Sacha would be great, doesnt get enough credit for his acting ability.
