I saw an MTV News article on it and FP wasn't mentioned. I wanted to watch it but I got side tracked...plus I had a feeling he wasn't going to be shown after seeing the article. I wonder if something came up or if he just didn't do anything that was taped. Maybe he just went out to support the cause. U think they'd get him on camera if they could though.

Very cool! I love that he tries to participate in things like this. Especially cuz all of the other FP news is kinda boring at the moment.

MC Hammer will aways be one of my favorite emcees. He flow might have been rough from time to time. In recent years he might choose some ?uestionable production, but his easily one of the smartest, down to earth, and nices guys in Hip-Hop. His energy, showmanship, and lyrics are all his own. Thanks for posting this interview.

I don't like the way he's talking like he's done with music. With that attitude from him and the 'Prince, Hip-Hop is dead. I know this isn't the end of music either of them. I gotta be honest, I've never watched his show and only kinda have an intrest 2 see it. If i knew when and on what network it aired, i'd check it out.

Is anyone else a little creeped out that grown men (mostly Wayne' s side) of making a big deal of money as if it were the most imporant thing in life? Is it disturbing that someone (Birdman) is saying Lil' Wayne is "lyrical" as in his rhymes are actually good. As in, he can speak like he has an education beyond 2nd grade. As in, u can understand this under pronounced jibberish.

:lookaround: Tim's lost it. :laugh:

This guy does have regular music. It's things like this that get attention put on their regular music. I've seen so many people that know nothing about Hip-Hop posting this video on their Facebooks. I just found out that this guy's kid comes into my studio for pictures...ha ha.

Without Teddy Pendergrass, R-N-B would have never evolved to what it has (ignoring the recent "Radio Ready" version of R-N-B). I have a few of his CD's. Definitely one of the best that ever did it. I heard him doing an interview on the radio just last Spring. R.I.P.

Thanks for that Jazzy, Kwame, Skillz video. That was dope. The news about House Party isn't anything new though. It's been known for awhile that it was originally for JJ+FP. I'd love to see a JJ+FP version of House Party. I consider them classics tho' and it's hard to imagin them without Kid 'N Play tho.'

I grew up watching The A-Team when I was really little. Mr. T is the man. This trailor, in my opinion, looks like a huge load of crap. Even worse that G.I. Joe (which I still haven't seen...if I ever will). I pity the fool who actually sees this.

Nice work! This is ill!!! I don't think I've heard a mixtape with a tracklisting this good in....forever.

Ugh, Mariah, u finally get an award for your acting (attempting to make people forget Glitter) and you go on to make a fool of yourself on stage... As a Mariah fan I'm a bit embarassed.

I don't love it, but i really like it. It's a good mix of old and new.

I think "Ghosts" was his best music video ever. I was also a bit frustrated that they waited for him 2 pass away before doing it, but I guess isn't better than never.

Yeah, it's amazing that so many people do it. There literaly is no positive side to it. It makes you waste 100's of dollars a year. It makes u smell awful. It makes your hourse, car, and all your stuff stink. It can give u all kinds of health problems that lead to a long, slow, painful, pathetic death. And it makes you look old/unhealthy. I have a co-worker who is just a year older than me. I think she looks young but maybe that's because I know her. I had a customer who was about 45 or 50 say that "the girl who was about my age was helping me..." and when I realized who he was talking about, it made me realize how that's effected the way she looks (or should look). P!nk's voice has gotten raspier over the years. She has looked more and more rough as well. Look at the pix from her 1999-2003ish stuff and look at her now. Hopefully quitting will restore some of that youth and preserve her voice because she has the kind of talent that will stand the test of time.

Pink Quits the Only Vice She Has Left PrintEmail More Michael Loccisano, Getty Images By Jordan Lite Singer Pink, whose raspy voice is marked by cigarettes, has often referred to smoking as "the only vice I have left." Now the R&B and rock artist, who’s smoked since the age of nine, says she’s trying to curb her habit. “I've definitely cut way back,” she tells Women's Health in its January 2010 issue. “At night, when I'm out drinking my wine, I'll have cigarettes rationed to me. But I don't smoke at home.” Pink, 30, described herself in the magazine as “an asthmatic singing smoker.” She’s been reported to be a pack-a-day and a chain smoker. “For some reason, I look at it as the last remaining bit of me before all of this [fame and success],” she said in the magazine. Pink, who’s been reported to have quit in the past, is not alone in struggling to stub out that final butt. On average, it takes smokers four to five serious tries before they succeed at quitting, said Erik Augustson, Ph.D., a program director in the tobacco control research branch of the National Cancer Institute. Half of people who smoke are ultimately able to quit, he told Aol Health. “There are some people who wake up one morning and say, ‘I’m done.’ That’s not the case for most of us: We struggle, fall off the wagon, dust ourselves off and try again,” said Augustson. “Many smokers I’ve worked with have talked about it being the most difficult thing they’ve done in their entire life.” Trying to figure out where to start? Check out Aol Health's Smoking Cessation Center for strategies to quit smoking. Additionally, Web sites including the American Lung Association’s www.quitterinyou.org offers tips for people who are frustrated by previous failed attempts, and www.women.smokefree.gov explains how being depressed or having a smoking or nonsmoking spouse can affect women’s attempts to quit. A free government hotline, 800-QUITNOW, will connect you to your state’s smoking quitline, where counselors will take your smoking history and help you come up with a plan to help you stop. They’ll even schedule times to call you back to see how you’re doing and refine your strategy; some states also offer free or discounted smoking-cessation medications. There are also a variety of pills, inhalers, patches, gum and nicotine lozenges available over the counter or by prescription. All are designed to reduce the withdrawal and craving for nicotine, the addictive drug in cigarettes, while you focus on the behavioral aspects of quitting, such as how to have a drink without a cigarette. But while a combination of medication and behavioral strategies work best, the majority of smokers try to quit cold turkey, Augustson said. Among those who do, less than 5 percent succeed, compared to a quarter to 35 percent of people who use a combination approach, he said. “That still means a lot of people don’t succeed,” Augustson said. “But if you use these combinations, your chance of success is four to six times greater than if you tried to quit cold turkey.” While a 2003 article in Britain's "Observer" said that cigarettes have “given her a rasp which she likes: dirty, sexy, snarling,” Pink challenges that image now. “Smoking isn't cute at all,” Pink told Women’s Health. “It's awful. I hate the smell, the taste. I hate being around people when I smoke. I hate everything about it.”

'Thriller' First Music Video Ever Chosen for National Film Registry December 30, 2009 | By: Marina ZogbiComments (4) PRINT EMAIL MORE Twenty-six years after its release, Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' has made it into the Library of Congress' National Film Registry, the first music video ever to do so. As one of 25 titles chosen this year, the ever-popular short film, directed by John Landis, is thus considered a work of enduring importance to American culture and worthy of preservation. Each year, beginning in 1989, the registry has added films it considers culturally, historically or aesthetically significant. 'Thriller' brings the total number of films on the registry to 525. According to the Associated Press, 'Thriller' had been considered for inclusion in past years, but following Jackson's death the time was right, said Steve Leggett, coordinator of the National Film Preservation Board. Jackson is in distinguished (and wildly diverse) company. Among the other movies chosen this year are the 1957 sci-fi classic 'The Incredible Shrinking Man,' the 1979 Muppets' movie debut 'The Muppet Movie,' the 1959 Rock Hudson/Doris Day romantic comedy 'Pillow Talk,' Sidney Lumet's 1975 classic 'Dog Day Afternoon,' and Martin Brest's 1972 NYU student film 'Hot Dogs for Gauguin.' Although legal battles over rights to Jackson's 'Thriller' are ongoing, the Library of Congress holds a copy submitted in 1984 for copyright purposes and is looking to acquire another for preservation. Below is a list of all 25 National Film Registry selections for 2009: 'Dog Day Afternoon' (1975) 'The Exiles' (1961) 'Heroes All' (1920) 'Hot Dogs for Gauguin' (1972) 'The Incredible Shrinking Man' (1957) 'Jezebel' (1938) 'The Jungle' (1967) 'The Lead Shoes' (1949) 'Little Nemo' (1911) 'Mabel's Blunder' (1914) 'The Mark of Zorro' (1940) 'Mrs. Miniver' (1942) 'The Muppet Movie' (1979) 'Once Upon a Time in the West' (1968) 'Pillow Talk' (1959) 'Precious Images' (1986) 'Quasi at the Quackadero' (1975) 'The Red Book' (1994) 'The Revenge of the Pancho Villa' (1930-36) 'Scratch and Crow' (1995) 'Stark Love' (1927) 'The Story of G.I. Joe' (1945) 'A Study in Reds' (1932) 'Thriller' (1983) 'Under Western Stars' (1938)

Elton John Helps Eminem Fight Drug Use Posted Saturday 02 January 08:09 AM By: PopEater / Wire Services Elton John says he has been helping rapper Eminen fight drug problems for more than a year. John told BBC Radio Saturday that Eminem is succeeding in his well-publicized battle against substance abuse. "I've been helping Eminem over the last 18 months and he's doing brilliantly," John says, reports the British Press Association. "I'm there if people want my help. If people ask for help you tell them where to go but there's no point advising people if they don't want to do it." John believes that as a recovered drug abuser, he is happy to help people if they want the assistance but drugs make people so cocky and arrogant that they often reject help. Eminem, who had been accused of being homophobic, performed with John during the 43rd Annual Grammy Awards on February 21, 2001. The two sang Eminem's song 'Stan' to show the rapper had no hate for the LGBT community. Eminem won three Grammys despite anger over his lyrics, which critics revile as anti-gay and violent. In May, Eminem admitted he'd suffered from a devastating drug addiction that led to him downing as many as 20 Vicodin, Ambien and Valium in a day. "The numbers got so high," he told Vibe magazine, "I don't even know what I was taking. Following his first stint in rehab in 2005, the rapper said he nearly overdosed after an acquaintance gave him unidentified blue pills, which a doctor later told him were actually methadone.

When I found this, I came across a few other parodies that I didn't watch. It looks like it'll be a mini internet trend...ha ha.

I just stumbled upon this. A local emcee jacked the Jay-Z/Alicia Keys joint and flipped it for my own city. Part of my likes it and part of me thinks it's a little city. I figured that since there is a good bit of Jay-Z fans here, some of u might wanna here it. The funny thing is that it kind of represents the area pretty accurately. ALL of the scenes are of streets I drive almost every single day. Some of the places used to be my hang outs. I just wish they could have gotten a better female to sing on the hook. She's awful.

FRESH PRINCE + DJ JAZZY JEFF + K-CI - Will 2K Willennium (1999) Been listening 2 it all day!! Happy New Year everyone!!

Awesome! I love that song. It's the 1st Christmas song I listen 2 every year.

Oh gosh....ha ha. LEAH SMITH - Shields & Swords Beautifully Made (2009) LOOOOOOOVE THIS!!!! SOUL MUSIC NEVER SOUNDED SO SWEET!!

I definitely plan on getting it at sometime. My thing with OutKast is that I think their 1st album was the best and I've gotten more disappointed with each album. Stankonia seems like the last great OutKast album in my opinion.

Yeah, nearly all songs played on commercial Rap stations from the past 5 years should be on there. And how can Lil' Wayne and 50 Cent not be on there?
