I thought most of his stuff was weak. I'll give him a listen when he comes back out. Out of all the trax he's ever done, I could probably fit all of the ones I like on an 80 minute CD. And of that last 10 years, I think he was only major for about 4 of them...ha ha. I liked "Always On Time" when it was new. I liked him on that Dru Hill remix. I thought "Holla Holla" was okay when it first came out. That song he did with Case was probably my favorite song by him. I think a big step he needs to take is not sing every again. He needs to stop trying to be harder than he is and he also needs to stop trying to be like 2Pac.

Yeah, what I mean to say was that I hope they don't treat it like a regular movie (where they wait months to release it) and rush it out so the fans gettin get it in time for the holiddays or something.

JASON MRAZ - The Remedy Beatiful Mess - Live On Earth (2009)
-
I read an article on it that had alot of the same info but was more negative, saying how it didn't hit the expectations but that it was the number 1 concert movie ever. This article makes it sound like the Miley Cyrus movie beat it...? I tought it was a regular movie, not a concert? I'm not surprised that they are extending it. I was going to see it one more time before it left theaters. When I 1st say it I got a VIP style lanyard for the movie. I'm hoping they aren't going to treat it as a real movie and rush the DVD out right after it leaves theaters.

2 really good songs!! ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT - The World Is Changing Strong (2009) The video just came out! You can catch it on YouTube. It's a little different (as is the upcoming album). I guess since Speech's new album is straight Hip-Hop I can work with this slightly altered sound. If Spearhead can break onto the charts in the US, this definitely cool.

I should be getting the album in the mail any day. I peeped it and really liked what i heard. Kel is doing all the right things.

Kanye West - "Touch The Sky" (VipaGTS Remix)
JumpinJack AJ replied to Vipa's topic in Caught in the Middle
Definitely good. I must say tho'...i'm so over Kanye West that everytime i see his name i get a bad taste on my brain. If i made a Kanye mixtape, i would ask for this MP3. -
JASON MRAZ - Anything You Want Beautiful Mess - Live On Earth (2009) I just got this album in the mail today. It doesn't come out for another week or 2 but if you pre-ordered it through his website, they shipped them out early. I feel special...ha ha...like when i got Big Willie Style a few days before it's release.

From AOL's Boombox... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Preview Reunion Album in New York Posted Oct 29th 2009 11:15AM by Steven J. HorowitzComments [12]Print | Email More Almost 10 years after the release of their last album with the original lineup, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony is back in full effect. Last night, the group assembled members of the media to get a sneak taste of their upcoming reunion album 'Uni 5: The World's Enemy' at Legacy Studios in New York City. With Bizzy Bone missing in action, Layzie Bone, Krayzie Bone, Flesh-N-Bone and Wish Bone stood behind an engineering board in front of their seated audience and played 13 of the 67 tracks recorded for their comeback album, puffing blunts and swigging Heinekens while their freshly minted tracks boomed through the studio speakers. And after a string of setbacks that included Flesh-N-Bone's incarceration, group acrimony and label feuds, the Cleveland-based group is back like they never left. The album hinges on the classic singsong, rapid-fire style that first put them on the map, with tracks like the inspirational 'See Me Shine,' cautionary street tale 'Gangsta's Glory' and knocking 'Determination' capturing the same sound and spirit that fans have come to love from the quintet. But with the old comes the new, and the group played a few cuts that employ a crisp style that they call "universe." "Instead of doing 16 bars," explained Layzie Bone, "we share a 16." Their newly hatched style makes for some of the album's tightest cuts, with the sunny 'Universe' beaming with each member completing each other's melodies, swirling into a creamy blend of vocal harmonies that flow on top of searing trumpets and glossy keys. The sinister 'Let Ya Self Go' rounded out the session with the group flowing over a delicate chipmunk vocal sample, with shady synths brooding under their densely layered vocals. The group fielded a few questions from attendees, explaining that it's taken them years to find the right label situation before they ended up inking a deal with Warner Bros. "Interscope wasn't showing us any keen interest at all," said Krayzie Bone. "They was tryin' to retire us," added Layzie Bone. After over 18 years in the game, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony is far from calling it quits. With a tentative release date set for December 22, Uni 5: The World's Enemy could include some of their sharpest, most realized tracks to date. In the meantime, the group is holding listening sessions dubbed "Think Tanks" for fans to get feedback on their new fare, giving them a good idea of what to include on the final tracklist of the new album. But based on what we heard, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony is back, flows as tight as ever and ready to get the respect they deserve.

I think Sonnenfeld would be a very important part to the look and feel of the movie. He has a one-of-a-kind vibe that would need to be a part of another MIB movie. That's like asking to franchise to be taken over have someone like Tim Burton did the 1st 2 movies...love him or hate him, the movie would be different with another director starting what was already established.

What's your source? Every interview I've watched and article I've read said how happy MJ was to be working and on stage. Watching all of this footage speaks for itself. If he hated it, it would have shown. You could tell he was having the time of his life. You can't fake that over 3 months of video taping that he only intended for his own personal collection.

Ths better happen...with all of the original people behind the 1st 2 movies. And they need to push for a stronger script than the 2nd one. I'm excited for this. Other than this and the next Bad Boys movie, I have little interest in FP's movies.

There's nothing about the movie to spoil. It was great. It's 90% footage of performances. MJ was in his prime in this footage and it's unfortunate that no one was aware...especially the millions of fans who loved him again after the news of his passing. His dancing was lightning sharp. His voice was as amazing as ever. To see him instruct and interact with this people was amazing. He handled everything so simply and humbly, yet comes off as a total genious. As he speaks, you can see that his is a master at what he does and that he has a vision for every moment of the show. Because it is compiled of rehearsal footage, there are moments where he isn't singing at 100% or let's lines go, or doesn't quite dance at 100% but that doesn't happen too often...especially after the movie gets going. The people that are apart of the show are truely amazing. He literally was surrounded by the best of the best. His lead guitarist was stunning. The visuals created for the show were brilliant. It's very interesting how so much of the show reinvented classic MJ material that previous performances and music videos set as the standard. He truely did reinvent classic material instead of just doing the same thing he had done in the past...yet kept enough classic material the same to keep it MJ brand. To hear 30 years (plus) of material that I grew up being presented this way made it all feel new again for 2009. During alot fo the rehearsal footage, you forget that it's just a rehearsal. You are only reminded when you don't hear an audience, or notice that they aren't in costume. If u are and MJ fan, you will love this. If not, you will probably appricate the movie for what it is.

Can love and hate exist at the same time? Ha ha...this is hilarious. This is not my cup of tea but these guys are talented...ha ha. I just posted a live video of this on my Facebook.

I actually didn't see it today. Work kept me busy all day and I didn't wanna see a late-showing while exhasted. I'll be seeing tomorrow for sure. Can't wait.

HA HA HA!!!!

I love Rihanna. Here 1st 2 albums were very good in my opinion. I liked the 3rd one as well but I hated that she was stepping away from her dancehall roots and was being marketed as a pop star which turned her into one. Her style and hair has gotten weird and I'm craving the vibe her earlier stuff had. I saw the pix last week. The fairest thing I can say is ..."interesting."

It comes out tomorrow!!! Who is hyped?!?! I know I am. Post your reviews here after you've seen it. Just to get things started, here's an article AOL posted... Michael Jackson Proves He's Still King With 'This Is It' October 23, 2009 | By: Thomas DiChiaraComments (187) PRINT EMAIL MORE There's a reason Michael Jackson is, was and forever will be known as the King of Pop. And, judging by early reactions to a sneak peek at Jackson's eagerly anticipated concert-rehearsal documentary 'This Is It,' that reason will be on full, moon-walking display when the film hits theaters across the globe for a limited two-week run on Oct. 28. This week, critics were treated to 12 minutes of footage from the top-secret doc that shows MJ rigorously preparing for a comeback concert series entitled 'This Is It,' which was to have kicked off at London's O2 Arena a mere two weeks after the pop star's death. And those 12 minutes were all it took to get critics psyched out of their minds. According to The New York Daily News, the brief glimpse "shows the King of Pop in regal form, mapping out dance moves while confidently singing his classic songs," and depicts two song-and-dance numbers that "firmly establish Jackson as a performer still in control of his talents in the last days of his life." The numbers depicted are the 1983 ballad 'Human Nature,' in which Jackson employs, in the words of the Daily News, "his falsetto vocal with the sweet grace of his youth," and an up-tempo rendition of 1987's 'The Way You Make Me Feel,' a flashy number set against a backdrop of the New York City skyline and featuring Jackson utilizing such iconic MJ moves as the finger-snap and his patented twirl. Ticket presales for 'This Is It' have dominated online retailers such as Fandango and Moviefone for weeks now -- already more than recouping Sony the $60 million it paid for rights to the film. With insiders predicting that the film could gross $250 million worldwide in its first five days, there's not doubt 'This Is It' will be big. The only question is: How big? Call us crazy, but we're going to go with ... gargantuan.

Is this Prince still Fresh enough?
JumpinJack AJ replied to Hero1's topic in Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
In all my years of digging I've never seen a promo with any additional songs. I'll rededicate myself to this just incase. -
98 DEGREES - Why Are We Stil Friends? The Collection (2002) I've always loved this song. They should get things back together since Jive isn't pushing for Nick's newest album to come out (due nearly a year ago).
