Usher acted like he had sense when he did this track...unlike half of the songs on his most recent album. Usher, please return to making quality R-N-B/Soul music!
I think The Main Ingredient is a better album as well but Mecca + The Soul Brother is a monumental album. That album did things for Hip-Hop that not many albums has.
It's risky releasing stuff like this because the audience who will A) find out about its release, B) care about its release, and C) BUY IT is small. It rare for a record company to support something like this. I think it's beautiful. Over the past year I've bought 2 disc deluxe versions of classic albums by Marley Marl and The Jungle Brothers and I'm always so amazed that this kinda stuff gets made. If more albums like that got promoted and purchased, I'm sure we'd see more releases like this of classic Hip-Hop.
If this was posted on the board, I completely forgot about it. Already spent too much money this week but when I saw this, I HAD to buy it! I thought the other PR+CL fans would wanna know about this.

I read this earlier today. The one point they want to make almost, barely, slightly has some weight to it. Unfortunately they are uneducated on his music and the man he is...making a mountain out of a mole hill. It's all very silly.
Brakes, your post had me listening to Kris Kross all day. Why the heck aren't they still making music!?

Welcome To Our World (1997)
I'm falling in love with that Aaliyah, Ginuwine, Timbaland, Missy Elliot, Playa, Magoo 1996-2001 era all over again. It's taking me back.
That's how I always felt...but as I got back to revisit it, it's much better than I remember thinking. Maybe it was bad timing...maybe the current state of music has lifted its quality. I don't know. All I can say is that feeling it more than ever, though it's still my leave favorite Brandy album.

I got an email from EGospel and I'm not able to copy the text, but here's a short article about how Nate Dogg was going to take his music in a different direction (according 2 Warren G) and how there is "new" music on the way.
Check it!

THANX!! I want to take this opportunity to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2 everyone on the board throughout the year. I'm awful at replying to everyone else's birthday posts. Life is just busy!
p.s. I chose not to participate in aging.
I think it's crazy. There definitely is feeling of closure. I can only imagine how the family and friends of victims feel. I think it's ridiculous that people are all about seeing the two pictures of him shot tho.' Regardless of what he was responsible for, it seems a bit barbaric to me that people are demanding to see them.
