It's on their album Rock The House. I don't use downloading websites but I would imagine places like Amazon and iTunes having it.

CHRISTINA AGUILERA + REDMAN - Dirrty Stripped (2002)

JUSTIN YOUNG - R-N-B Medley Live performance on YouTube (2009)

Don't get me wrong, I like the song, but it is the weakest track on Code Red. It has always come across to me as the song Jive wanted on the album.

I think the whole being white thing was only a big deal in the beginning. Even then, it was before he got wrapped up in gimmicks and being annoying to get attention. Most emcees were giving him props early on because he was so original.

I don't know if I agree with that at all. Let's be real. What other rappers and emcees out there are anything like Eminem (the good and the bad)? Whether it's half baked annoying gimmicks or legit songs with insanely creative wordplay, he's in a class all of his own. This Recovery album is one of the greatest things Hip-Hop has going for it right now. More than half of the songs are filled all the good things that he had when he 1st came out...comedy, emotion, and a twisted edge. The production is great on every track. He separated himself from D12 and G-Unit and brought more legit talent into the mix. And although I like Dr. Dre (most of the time), having Dre off of the board was the best thing that could happen. Em's sound was just stale. The same stuff was being recycled and it wasn't impressive. This new album is fresh, full of life, full of variety. It's better than all of the commercial rap albums out there and that's why it's getting crazy support. 2 years ago I was one of Eminem's biggest bashers...but he's fixed what was broken and he's returned to greatness.

Terms like "classic" are overused and have been for years. Just like "keep it real." Terms like that mean nothing anymore. They did in the beginning and have been over used for so long that they mean nothing. I don't know what it would require to have a "classic" album these days. When I think of a classic album, I 1st think of the consistency of the album. From the 1st track to the last, are they all good and are they all different but work together for a stronger purpose (that is the album)? Was it the best or one of the best of it's time. Was the production solid across the board? Did each song have a purpose...a focus? And lastly, some success does need to be in the mix. Something about the album had to be successful to define it's era and influence for years to come (that doesn't mean that uncreative bandwagon artists copying them is considered influence). Is Fat Joe's album a classic. No. Are any of 50 Cent's albums classic. Nope. The 90's was the last decade that really had exciting award shows, music videos, singles, charts, albums that had focus and talent was more often considered when securing a record deal. Dare I say Hip-Hop hasn't had a true classic album in the 2000's? There are some great ones, but very few times do those great albums also get success. There's a lot of successful albums, but hardly ever do those artists have talent, write solid songs, and seek great producers.

BELL BIV DEVOE - BBD (I Thought It Was Me) Poison (1990) New performance linked!

Awesome! I've never seen that. They are on point as always. It's funny that they were alot of the same cloths in that "I'm Looking For The One" performance. Some of the crowd is hype (tho' they look foolish and some of them look a bit bored. I would have loved to see them perform song off the album other than the 3 main singles.

2 good songs! Especially "Feelin' So Good." Why do some people give Jennifer Lopez flack for some of her music. I've always loved her stuff. You got me in the mood for happy music... DESTINY'S CHILD - Happy Face Survivor (2001)

KATY PERRY - Circle The Drain (Explicit) Teenage Dream (2010) I wasn't feeling this at 1st, thought I loved the subject matter. But now it's growing on me.

Yeah, the dance pop crap has been aggravating me for the past year. Is Usher's song good? Yes. Is it anywhere near the level of anything from his stuff in '94 thru Confessions...No. Rihanna's stuff isn't the same either. All the new guys doing this stuff are gonna have to change their style to last in music. This ain't R-N-B.

I think if my eyes rolled any harder, they'd fall out of my face right now.

Code Red was an interesting era. The album was riddled with other producers (all good...but why not use Jazzy since A Touch of Jazz was becoming more established). Jazzy was creating the music in Philly and then sending them to FP in California. They promoted the album themselves pretty well. They did award shows and other performance shows plus interviews...together and separate. Jive did an okay job promoting (tho' they certainly didn't bend over backward for JJ+FP). It was really the Dr. Dre/Snoop Doggy Dogg dominated video and radio that didn't support them much. EVERYONE was releasing albums with explicit lyric stickers on them and recording with a harder edge. Some legit music and some phony studio-gangsta mess. Both of them were dedicated for JJ+FP but also distracted with their individual careers finally blossoming. Not to mention The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. FP was starting a family while heading towards divorce.

They whole thing is ridiculous. If they did in fact want a DJ to play a bunch of Lil' Wayne and Drake garbage, they should have gotten a top 40 DJ. We all know Jazzy spins all kinds of stuff from all era which rarely touch on what is currently "hot." But even if you put him in a box you would expect him to play true school and old school Hip-Hop. If the event was a charity, it's for a cause much greater than entertainment so who has the right to be picky about what is being play PLUS pull a Hip-Hop legend off of a stage?! The whole thing is just stupid. Things like this should happen to obnoxious, explicit "entertainers"...not a down-to-earth legend.

This is ridiculous. It makes you wonder what he was playing. I'm assuming they wanted him to spin top 40 garbage. I'm sure the crowd was enjoying themselves too. This is a charity for God's sake! During a tribute!! -------------------------------------------------------------- DJ Jazzy Jeff Booted Off Stage Mid-Set During DJ AM Tribute Legendary party-rocker DJ Jazzy Jeff was stopped mid-performance in Las Vegas last night while DJing a charity event in honor of his former partner, the late DJ AM. According to reports, the management at Surrender nightclub were "unhappy" with the musical selections Jeff was playing and made the decision to pull him mid-set. Jeff later tweeted about the incident, saying "Funny when people r having a good time but management isn't..can u say...The Right Party at the Wrong Place...F--- it...AM Lives." Known for being both one of the most universally respected and beloved DJ's, Jeff was donating his time in honor of his late friend, who held a DJing residency at Rain nightclub in Vegas prior to his death. Unfortunately this is not the first time that Jeff has been forcibly removed from the stage while DJing. Jeff was similarly disrespected during the Kansas City stop on the Bacardi B-Live tour in June of 2009 when event organizers complained about his hype man Skillz' alleged usage of "gang signs" while Jeff played Biz Markie's unrequited love anthem "Just a Friend." Jeff has yet to comment about the incident (beyond his tweet).

You know what, he is getting better. His voice and the way he uses it is much better. The beat is really good too. He's definitely developing as an artist. Unless FP drops a rap tho' I'm still not picking this up. And I'm definitely still annoyed that he keeps using the Fresh Prince name. Sure, that's your uncle...but that's not u.

YO YO - You Don't Try To Play Me Out Make Way For the Motherload (1991) This is taking me back...

I was just looking around online and stumbled upon this amateur remixer/producer. If you go to his website he has TONS of remixes and blends that he's done. I've listened to nearly every song on his site and he syncs up every song perfectly...to the point that u think the artist is singinging/rapping their song right over the instrumental. What's even better is that when he creates collabos he'll take songs that have a similar meaning when it comes to the subject matter. I think alot of you will like this guy.

AALIYAH - Time (Unreleased) (Originally recorded but never finished for her self-titled album) (2001) It was 9 years yesterday that she left us. R.I.P.

RICH CRONIN - Hey Radio Billion Dollar Sound (2008)

Visqo, I'm talking about Usher's "Versus"...a 9 track album that came out yesterday. It features JUST the bonus trax off the new deluxe version of Raymond V Raymond. 1 or 2 of them are good. The rest are trendy, radio-ready urban pop. The only good thing about it is his voice. I've never been so disappointed in one of my favorite artists like this. MC LYTE - Ice Cream Dream Mo' Money Soundtrack (1992) The Mo' Money Soundtrack is one of my top favorite soundtracks of all time. MC Lyte over a new jack swing beat with R-N-B vocals on the hook. Early 90's perfection.

MC LYTE - Everyday Bad As I Wanna B (1996) This album was always one of my favorites. Jermaine Dupri brings out the best in people....which is why Usher's new EP is trash.

MC Lyte is a legend. Most of you know that and those who don't have the chance to download a free mixtape from her. The mixtape features new and recent music from her that's unreleased or scarce. Real Hip-Hop by an emcee with skillz!! Don't pass this up!! http://www.duboseent.com/duboseMusic.html
