    Ale reacted to JumpinJack AJ in BACK TO BACK ID4 SEQUELS - WILL SMITH LOCKED?   
    It's a dumb idea. It's so dumb that I'm challenged to understand why people think it's a good idea...other than greedy companies that will profit from it. FP has said many times "zero chance." It pains me that he'd consider it without seeing a miracle of a script that almost makes the idea of a sequel tolerable. The bottom line is; the earth doesn't get attacked by aliens twice. To pursue that idea tarnishes the original. The only thing that gives me an ounce of fear that FP would do it is that he's done moves like Hancock, which I can't imagine were that good on paper when he agreed to do it.

    I remember seeing this on MySpace or something like 5 years ago and I was just thinking about this video the other day.

    This is the deepest **** I've ever heard a music artist say. I love how humble Jeff is - real down to earth.

    Im slightly hijacking this thread bcoz i dont wanna start a new one.

    Well on Sunday me, Kim and Paul (Kims boyfriend) met Tim. I decided as Tim is Australian it might be fun to take him to the chill factor which is an indoor ski place with real snow, he was hesitant at first but then agreed. Because skiing is way to hard we decided to go sledging (well i decided mostly bcoz everything else was booked up). I picked Tim up from his Aunties house and even met his Auntie, she was really sweet. Tim then had to put up with my driving and my dodgy sat nav that took us to a random dead end. We eventually got there and Tim looked worried haha. We ended up sledging with all these kids, it was great fun, apart from wearing jeans was a rookie mistake and i was soaking by the end of it as snow got into my pants. The only time Tim came off his sledge was when we were half way down the slope and some kids were walking across the bottom, despite my screams they didnt pay attention to us hurtling toward them, Tim saved the childrens lives by crashing himself into the netting at the side of us haha. We all came off the sledges as some point, usually crashing into each other or the netting.

    Afterwards we went to the trafford centre which is a big shopping mall. We ate at TGI Fridays which was nice and talked about Will and Jeff meetings, Australia, how Tim wants to live over here etc. We had a great time and no-one got injured. Again it was weird, it wasnt really like we had just met for the first time. Here are some pics of us at the trafford centre.

    10 years in the making!



    With Kim



    And Paul, apparently Paul looks like a tank here.

    A fantastic night of music, insight and friendship. See I been doing this site for some 16 odd years, and I've seen many people come and go, but there are a few who stick with us. That don't need a heap of news, or a new Will Smith or Jazzy Jeff album to roll on by. Y'all know who that is, and that's a family. When I've seen Kev, or Brakes or Jim go see Jeff and have an awesome time nothing puts a bigger smile on my face. Over the years though, as I've seen these photos I've thought, wow wouldn't it be great if we saw Jeff together. So when a trip planned 8 months ago, and a rare UK tour coincide in life, you know it's meant to be.

    We all met up early, around 4:00. It is funny that other people have commented how natural our conversation, back and forth and obvious friendship shines through. Sure we've known each other on this site for years, but this was the first time we'd ever met in real life. My cousin Lawrence, Kev's mate Alan, all got the same vibe. My cousin Alison came along, and she suggested a Japanese restaurant right near the Jazz Cafe for dinner. So we made our way over their about 5:30 and Kev & Alan got to have some food they'd never tried before. Bernie joined us which was great. It was Jeff's tour of Australia in 2006 when we first met, and she'd first met Darnell. It was definitely strange not having Darnell there, Skillz, Darnell & Jeff had been touring together for 8 years, you just never imagined him not being there. He always took good care of the fans on this site and you know he will kill the next project or event he's running.

    As we had a great dinner-- the food was incredible, we made some unsuccessful attempts to organise the interviews with Cris, Jeff's video guy. Eventually we headed into the Jazz Cafe. When we got there it was 3/4 full, but within half an hour this show was a sellout and they opened up the balcony as the club's small space soon filled out. The vibe was good people, here to have fun with some good music. The opening DJ's played some classic hip hop records, then we were treated to some UK rap legends who performed a few tracks each. Just after 10, Jeff finally took the stage.

    It really was a great mix of music from Jeff, current rap hits, back to west coast & east coast anthems, reggae records-- there really was no boundaries in this set. Yeah it even included cheesy 80s hits like Toto's Africa, alongside Touch of Jazz gems like Floetry's Floetic, smells like teen spirit, and classic 80s soul jams. Skillz had the crowd jumping as Jeff went from one music classic to the next. For the JJFP fans we got some old school routines, "I Wanna Rock" & "Live at Union Square." The surprise of the night was he's the greatest dancer into Getting Jiggy Wit It. A pretty easy track for Brakes, Kev & I to rap along to.

    The two hours of music flew by, the crowd left sweating, and they slowly left knowing they'd seen one of the worlds best DJ's and had one hell of a party.

    After the show we made our way backstage to see Jeff. He hadn't slept in 4 days and was feeling pretty sick but was kind enough to spend a little time chatting. What ensued was a fantastic conversation. See in this room we had Kev, Brakes & myself, our combined knowledge of all things JJFP clicked into gear. Jeff was able to shed some light on many things we'd never known, and the conversation that flowed like THE DJ, was magnificent. For instance when Jeff first saw his son Amir jump in the booth and spit some amazing rhymes, Jeff was forced to look away so his son couldn't see the tears flowing from the amazingly proud father. Or that on the back of 4 months work in the studio on Willennium, how the rap duo was all set to do a world tour before the movie business and Ali, quickly took priority. Little tid bits of information flowed out that filled in the gaps of an amazing career, and gave these longtime fans some amazing knowledge. We were all lucky to be there. As 20 minutes flew by as if it was 20 seconds, we were told Jeff's car was ready, and the club was ready to close.

    Kev, Brakes & I headed downstairs to complete our interviews for Cris. Cris had the cameras set up, while DJ Spinone asked us some questions. Interesting questions, like how does Jeff inspire you, or what is so unique about you being a fan. I think we had some good answers so it will be interesting to see how the video turns out. I think it shows the positive effect Jeff & Will's music had on our lives, and we make good cases for going out to see a Jazzy Jeff show.

    And that was it. As we hustled out of the club into the nightime drizzle, the time closer to 2am, the trains now closed and few options for Brakes to get back home we all knew we'd had a great night. A great experience, that was a long time coming. Brakes, Kev, I know we are gonna be friends for life. What a great way to hang out and finally see Jeff after all these years. It was all meant to be.

    Well.... What can I say... Our shadow dream came true last night at The Jazz Cafe in Camden.. Jeff played a blinder of a set with a load of new stuff I've not seen him do plus I got the chance to see Mystro and Blak Twang do their thing live...

    I think Tim and Kev will agree that the highlight of the evening was the chat we all had with Jeff backstage.. It truly felt like we were all old friends catching up!! Well worth me missing the last train and having to spend £80 on a taxi home!

    I'll post up our picture when I get home from work!

    Indeed it was a great show. Thank god for this forum or I would have completely missed it...
    As for me and my friend, we couldn't get into the show via the guestlist, apparently we were not in the damn list, but anyway. I had a hell of a time.

    Here's one of the flyers of the show, and a pic and a couple of videos.

    Hi,everybody!I was one of the lucky ones who saw JJ's show 2 days ago.It was AMAZING!!At the beginning,some technical difficulties happened and even the show was stopped about 6 minutes(Jeff's face=poker face)but then JJ was on fire!!Almost 2 hours scratching and making us bouncing with themes like I GET AROUND(2Pac),ABC(Jacksons 5),JUICY(Biggie Small),JUMP AROUND(House of pain),IN DA CLUB(50cent),OPP(Naughty by nature),UMBRELLA(Rihanna),CRAZY IN LOVE(Beyoncé),BUFFALO SOLDIER(Bob Marley),WHAT'S MY NAME(Snoop) and many others.THE WORST:the organization.It was messy and awful.They didn't know the icon that is JJ.THE BEST:obviously,JJ,as a professional(even during the 6 minutes that the show was stopped and the people was whistling,Jeff was on the stage trying to help the technicians) and as a DJ(when it sounded Will's words THE CHAMP IS HERE several times over 50 cents' IN DA CLUB,I almost cry!)...the magnificent Jazzy Jeff on the wheels of steel!!

    Yes!!!!!! This is the holy grail!!

    I wonder if it's the same guy who made a youtube video with about the 1st 10 minutes of this...he first said in the video he'd love "to put the demo tapes in Will's hands"...not sure if that video is still online but this is fantastic!!!

    You know what the best part of this is? It's RAW! No hooks, no singers - just two turntables and a mic! Will just spitting and Jeff cutting up everything in sight!

    There's gotta be more where this came from. I'm sure this isn't the only mixtape they put out but its an awesome start!

    Nice find Ale - once again you are the man!!
