Cool shirt, I think I'll buy one! :dancingcool:

That's off the hook! :thumb: :rock: I wish that I knew about the show 'cause I would have tried to go since I don't live that far from New York. That's great to hear about Will performing again, I hope he does a tour this summer!

Will should be a guest on the Dave Chapelle Show on comedy central! :dancingcool:

SNL has been a bunch of bull**** lately like a lot of things on the pop scene so that's not a good look for Will to host this crappy show!

When I bought the album and I first listened to the song I was like "Damn, Will's really comin' strong wit his rhymes" but as I heard the rest of the album it was mostly love songs except for "Act Like You Know","Block Party", and "As The Beat Goes", and "Nod Ya Head"(they're party tracks). The tracks though were tight and it was an experiment by putting Tra-Knox on the entire album, so I give Will credit for doing something different, but if he had more tracks on that album like "Born To Reign" and less songs with Tra-Knox on it, the album would have been a multiplatinum hit like "Big Willie Style"(that album had a lot of balance). I enjoyed the album though, if this new album has more aggressive tracks(plus more Jazzy Jeff and less Tra-Knox) then it'll be a huge hit!

Once again it's my turn at the plate, I'm just set to burn cats off the stage You'll get overexerted for my rap flame, No one feels your act today I'm raining all over your wack parade, if you bust on my appeal you'll pass away My innovation will surpass your claim of the title, I'm motivated to break the rivals Since I gotta carry the team on my back, they'll compare me to Hakeem & Shaq When I finally put the mic down, don't hold ya breath for my end any time now I'm set to make the ol' school cats proud, 'cause their legacy through me is found Yeah prince u say u got a crown, but u can't even entertain even if u were a clown I'm gonna earn the respect of this post, when I burn ya like breakfast toast Last time when I battled solo I was robbed of takin' the throne So now I'm packin' knowledge up since I'm capable of breakin' y'all clones True dat sound alike, y'all cats shout rhymes, but y'all haven't found time To apply to improve, if you rhyme true to you, you'll have a shot Until then your a have not, your analyzin' every word I happen to jot When your in a matter of shock, I believe y'all have a bad case of rappers block I could read through your wack plot, a damn disgrace being jabbed out the spot By my upper hook, Like Nas I make y'all look, I steal your pride away like a crook I could go on all day spittin', Don't even start callin' me fake Prince 'Cause with one shot I could break you and Jim simultaneously Step up to the plate only if you can swing with me It's like pitchin' blind to a silver slugger, my rappin' skills kill brothers So you better make sure you run for cover This is my olympics so I'm burstin' towards the gold medal When spittin' like Talib Kweli and De La Soul I'm a "soul rebel" Since I'm fulfillin' the goals like the 'Jersey Devils

I'll post my verse in a little while 'cause I have to get off the computer now, but don't worry I'll post it soon! :peace:

I'll switch places with Joe and post my freestyle first if Joe doesn't put his freestyle down soon if that'll make the battle move faster, I don't wanna get penalized if my potna doesn't respond! The other battle is also in the same position as our battle 'cause nobody's posted there for 2 days either, maybe it's 'cause of the holiday weekend. :dunno:

None of us are perfect, we shouldn't judge one person's character off of one misfortunate incident, Nas was a drug dealer that dropped out of high school but he cleaned up his life by writing rap songs and becoming a respected m.c., Queen Latifah was caught carrying a gun but she has a done many other positive things for women getting respect in hip-hop, and 2Pac went to jail but he's known as the greatest rapper of all time by many, so the positiveness kills the negativeness everytime! That song "Only God Can Judge Me" by 2Pac applies to all of us, so we shouldn't start pointin' fingers at those that are trying to make a difference, even if they come up short sometimes of what we consider who a true role model is, but a lot of rappers today don't worry about an image and that's terrible! :tear: 50 Cent should use his talent and popularity to make music that will bring more positive out instead of always talkin' arrogant without a care for anyone but "G-G-G-G-Unit!" that he's always promoting!

I think that Will was mockin' Eminem's delivery in that song.

You don't have to change anything 'cause you spoke from your heart and I feel that since it takes a lot of heart to speak how you really feel!

It doesn't matter if you're a mainstream artist or not, if you have true fans they'll find your album, I bought KRS-ONE's last three albums wit no problem even though he's on an underground label and I bought Jazzy Jeff's last CD wit no problem either, if you care enough about the artist, you'll find a way to buy the album, as long as it's released to music stores as well as internet. That's wack that most of the things you buy on the internet has to be bought wit only a credit card. I'm gonna be real, I don't have a credit card either and even if I did I wouldn't feel confortable releasing the number over the internet 'cause there's a lot of schemers out there! :cussing: I agree wit that point Jazzy Julie made too 'cause a lot of cats don't have computers so it'll be hard to reach all the fans that way. I only got a computer around the time I started posting here but I checked out this dope site for years when I was on a computer in high school and I now enjoy comin' here and chattin' wit y'all real fans! :thumb:

Hell no, they are the coolest white rappers of all time, Eminem will never get to their level! :thumb: Ultimately though, they're more talented than a lot of rappers all time(white or black).

Word up it's the veteran's turn up, y'all menaces are gettin' burned up I'm far from a lame m.c. 'cause my charge to the play constantly Resemble how I'm a star in the state of 'Jersey, ain't no way gettin' me I'm great like Treach and Vinnie and Queen La, so you better step to me propa Don't step to Big Ted, you're goin' to an early death bed j-o-e got my back as I go exceed the plot of my rap Prince's reign is over, step off the stage before you get told so 'Cause I'm a trained soldier when I comes to the way I rip flows I'm not about to give that up, my plot is now the move to blast chumps It's too tough to duplicate my cadence, since you hesitate to find basics I don't have to try in this I go rap true life, never scripted I provoke craft, you lie, witness my flow track the grind towards the win I'll blow past your lies 'cause when I'm sleepin' I can make a rhyme better than Your out of line trash on the design when you can easily give in 'Cause even Eraka Badu said "Maybe Next Lifetime" I'll be losin' to Prince and Jim I'm far from finished, my charge to bust lyrics, will keep me just tense When I do this for a livin', so I'm not losin' to a bunch of freshman I mean no offense, I was there before, but I put my time in, and I've matured As a lyricist, I got a high desire to perform and the light on me is shinin', for sure Whenever I rap it's a blessin', so there's no need for y'all to say no more

:thumb: Happy Birthday, have fun this weekend!

I tried it for the 1st time today and it's cool, so I'm cool wit it, I think I'll go there more often when i get a chance! :thumb:

I'd have to say "Block Party"!

In those episodes, it showed that Will's acting skills were starting to evolve, in comparison to the earlier episodes when it looked like he was just messin' around and being himself. :rock:

:rock: I was reffering the "No Diggity" video in comparison to the average flashy hip-hop video that are out now, but nevertheless that video was dope!

Sometimes videos that ain't flashy become hits, look at Teddy Riley's group Blackstreet, they made a big hit out of "No Diggity" and I don't think that the video was that flashy. I wished that song was a big hit as well 'cause Teddy Riley is one of the more underrated producers in hip-hop history. Alot of today's hip-hop fans might only refer to Kanye West, Timbaland, and The Neptunes, but Tedddy Riley paved the way for the type of producing they do in mixing the hip-hop and r&b together(in fact he discovered The Neptunes). Michael Bivans is a legend too and a lot of cats sleep on him as well but you can see how much of an impact their work to the game has been, but a lot of younger don't try anything new that's why these guys could still make great music over the crap that the young cats are doing! It would be dope to see Will collaborate again with Teddy Riley in the future!

Hey j-o-e, I'll team up wit you if you need a potna. Holla!

Happy Birthday, I hope you have nothin' but fun today! :peace:

That would be a great idea to see Will do stand-up comedy, I think he and Martin should do a stand-up comedy show at a club or a arena, film it, and release as a movie! :rock: Either that or an all hip-hop stand-up comedy show with Will Smith, Biz Markie, Redman, and Method Man, that would be dope!

I'll even listen to hip-hop from the early '80s that came out when I wasn't even born yet 'cause it was so dope, the music was original and so was the lyrics from cats like Sugar Hill Gang, Kurtis Blow,AfiKa Bambatta and The Zulu Nation, and Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five. "The Message" is probably the deepest rap song of all time, all y'all youngeons gotta check that out! I didn't start listening to hip-hop and watching music videos until late '96/early '97, so I had a lot of catching up to do over these recent years and I noticed that current stuff has gotten weaker and weaker, so I became an ol' school hip-hop fanatic! Cats like Nelly and Eminem wouldn't survive against MC Shan, Kool Moe Dee, JJFP, LL Cool J, Rakim, KRS-ONE, Public Enemy, Run-Dmc, etc..., if they came out in that era(many say 1988 was the best year in hip-hop history and I was only 3, so I don't remember anything from then :tear: ). I sometimes wish that I was a little older so I could have witness the greatness as it was happenin'. Y'all older cats who were teens back then were the lucky ones! :rock:

What was that? It kept on skipping when I tried to play it! :dunno:
