Calvin Klein actually...ha ha. Marky Mark is the man in my opinion. Always will be.

The thing i like about The Ultimate Collection is that they put the previously unreleased stuff on there in it's original form. Some of it was totally mastered and finished. Some of it was very raw. To be honest, i didn't like all of the previously released tracks that much in that box set. But the songs i do like, i like alot. My fear is that they'll take his unreleased work and doctor it up and remix it like they have 2Pac's and Left Eye's music. If they do that, we might be hearing the the MJ + FP track without even knowing it cuz they could take off FP and remix the beat.

This boxing movie thing reminded me of this... MARKY MARK - No Mercy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnOCoBj7E0I And came across this... (definitely an akward segue from Eminem's part on the show 2 Mark's...Em puts a joke out there and Mark looks like he's just trying 2 keep things under control and not knock this skinny corny blonde across the stage)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53GRtC1Pkdc And this...featuring Marky's "The Illest" which is unreleased. I gotta ask the guy where he got the song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwCieRxzqho

I just came across this article/interview. It has Marky talking about doing a boxing movie with Eminem. Most people here know I'm a huge fan of Mark's and follow everything he does...even stuff like The Haunting (lol). Anyways, he talks about Matt Damon backing out of the movie and how Eminem is attatched. On Eminem's 1st 2 albums he kind of mocks Mark in his lyrics (probably just because he was a successful white emcee). I remember reading that YEARS ago they were both on TRL and when they were on the stage 2gether, Eminem was really quite and standoffish. It was rumored that there wasn't a good vibe between them. So after watching the interview I was surprised to see that they are on good terms. Them working together seems more like a gimmick then a natural thing. But what if it gets Mark 2 loosen up and do a song again...ha ha...it's been 11 years already. I can always hope, right. Here's the article. The link at the bottom has a 7 minute interview video. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eminem In Mark Walhberg Boxing Movie? Wednesday, 15 July 2009 | Written by Jason Grammy-Award-Winning rapper and Oscar-Winning Actor (for his music that is), Eminem, is reportedly being considered to star alongside Mark Wahlberg in an upcoming boxing movie. [watch here] "We were supposed to do this boxing movie together," Wahlberg told DJ Whoo Kid about fellow actor Matt Damon. [watch here] "We were going to play brothers and I don't think he's really feeling up to it so maybe we'll get Eminem to play the part. It's because we want two guys with some real edge and I think he was attached to play one of the parts at one point. Me and him actually talked on the phone while I was in Philly making another movie so um, either that or my brother. There's not too many people that can be believed in as being brothers, maybe half brothers but still, these guys had a really hard life. We want it to kinda feel authentic as opposed to getting some soft Hollywood act." [watch here] In related news, Eminem will be making an appearance in the upcoming "Funny People" movie staring Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen. "Marshall Mathers is in it," director Judd Apatow said in an interview. "I still don't know [how it happened.] I was scared to pitch jokes to him then I realized his songs are as nasty as anything that has ever been spoken. There is no way to offend him." http://www.rapbasement.com/eminem/071509-actor-mark-walhberg-says-that-he-is-set-to-do-a-boxing-movie-with-eminem-soon-watch-here.html

LL's "Baby" was okay. Britney's "Me Against The Music" was okay. They both have a body of much better songs when you look at the rest of their work. "Touch My Body" was one of my favorite songs off Mariah's last album, but look how boring that album was. To me The-Dream produces the most watered down and boring music ever. It's not straight up bad when compared to the commerical dirty south sound, but it's so simple and boring. And Def Jam isn't Def Jam anymore so I don't think his position there holds any wait either. Now if Def Jam still had LL Cool J, Slick Rick, Onyx, Warren G, Montell Jordan, Dru Hill, Case, Foxy Brown and so on...(when it actually was Def Jam), it'd be more of a respectable position. Other than Rihanna and Ne-Yo, who is on "Def Jam" anymore who's any good?

I really don't see how Hancock 2 could be a good step. I don't think the good one was. I'm up for FP trying new things...but he needs 2 do something close 2 his roots before his movie fans realize he hasn't been doing memorable movies in awhile.

All I know is that u can't trust a man who puts a hyphen in his name for no reason.

"Straight Playin'"....this was the joint!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX7-Opv5HjY

LL COOL J - 10 Million Stars 10 (2002) One of my all time favorite joints. It always gets my hyped.

Shaq wrote his own rhymes but he had said many times in interviews "Nobody wants to hear an entire album of me rapping" which is why he had guests artists. Off the top of my head, i can remember him working with Erick Sermon, Redman, Method Man, Def Jef, Fu-Schnickins,' Ill Al Scratch, Warren G, The Notorious B.I.G., Rakim, Jay-Z, Lord Tariq + Peter Gunz, KRS-One, Ice Cube, Rza, B-Real, The Roots, Bobby Brown, Ralph Tresvant, S.H.E., 1 Accord, and the list goes on.

I've heard alot of his beats and they seem so average. They don't pop, the don't grab attention, they don't do much except provide a boring, unimpressive background 2 an often lacking-talent. I've only heard of few of his own songs (as an "artist" ) and I don't think they were any good. Does anyone know when Christina Milian's album is coming out?...or is it out? It seems like she dropped that 1st single ages ago. With the lack of music and good movies, i'm worried her star is fading. I think she's a genuine talent and really don't wanna see her sit on the back burner.

U know what, when i saw that u said Puffy was singing, i cringed. I was reminded of how he ruined that song with Keyshia Cole "Last Night" with his awful hook. I checked the video. The beat is dope. The visuals in the video are amazing. I don't think heavy vocoder, autotune stuff is really singing, but u know what, it doesn't sound that bad. He definitely sounds better than Kanye did with his last album. I might watch this again and check the lyrics. 4TH AVENUE JONES - It's Over Now The Evolution of HipRockSoul (2005) Ahmad's solo album is coming...i'm hyped. Since his 2nd one got shelved back in the 90's...this is his offcial 2nd album.

I'm actually a big fan of Shaq's albums. Don't get that twisted with me thinking he's one of the best ever, but i've always liked his music. He never tried 2 be something he's not and that's the 1st thing i ask of any artist. I have a promo single from his 2001 album. If it would have dropped i think it would have been really good. His albums always reflected where Hip-Hop was at the time, Shaq-style. "Outstanding," "Pass, Shoot, Slam," Biological Didn't Bother," "No Hook," "U Can't Stop The Reign," "Superman," the colabo track he did on the Steel soundtrack feat. KRS-One, Ice Cube, B-Real, and Peter Gunz, and the lead single off his 1998 album were all good singles. Let's not forget he even did did "2 Bad" with Michael Jackson on his HIStory album...ha ha.

It's a sad day for everyone. Christina Milian is one of the finest females i've ever seen. The-Dream? Really? Ugh. Nick Cannon came out on top. She's more class than 2 go out like this in a cheezy Vegas wedding. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Christina Milian Gets Hitched in Vegas Posted Tuesday 08 September 02:25 PM By: PopEater Staff Singer Christina Milian officially tied the knot with music producer The Dream in Las Vegas last week, TMZ is reporting. The couple opted for a small midnight wedding at the legendary Little White Wedding Chapel -- the same place Britney Spears married Jason Alexander back in 2004. Milian reportedly rented a $200 wedding dress for the occasion and The Dream rented his tux for $100. Their wedding plans were under speculation since last month when they applied for a marriage license.

I was thinking one of the biggest of an artist and/or album would start a detailed review for whatever album. Anyone else on the board who is a fan can reply with their own review. Anyone who gives an album an honest listen can leave their feedback (agreeing or respectably disagreeing). Everyone on this board LOVES music. I think we'd find out about alot of good stuff this way.

Since this message board is so music based, would it make sense to have another board in the Caught In The Middle section. I would be a message board totally dedecated to reviewing albums. We could use the topic rating feature to rate the albums discussed. I'm not sure if Tim wasn't any boards added to the site. I just wanted to put the idea out there. It would be kinda cool 2 have a message board that archived our opinions on albums. I could totally see myself spending alot of time on that board and we could probably find alot of new music that we all like by contributing and reading the posts on that board. Just an idea.

I like the Terminator movies too. That 3rd was was a bit "blah" tho.'

No, i don't remember an event from this crappy picture where u can see a crowd and FP from the waste and up from the back. Ha ha.

BRANDY - 1st & Love Human (2008) One of my favorite albums of last year.

I think Leona Lewis is the best new female vocalist in years. I can't wait for her new album.

How could i forget TMNT!! Back To The Future too!!

I thought Superman Returns was brilliant. Alot of peope who grew up on it think that same. If u wanna see a dodgy Superman movie, check the 4th one...ha ha. Better yet, the Supergirl movie. I forgot 2 mention the House Party movies. They are classic.

Yeah, prior to that, it only popped up on a mixtape or 2 from 97/98. That was a real gem for a long time. I''m still not sure sure why that wasnt' officially released. Do u know how hot that remix video would have been back at that time? Reguardless of how dope it the remix is, a video with those other emcees and rappers would have done big things.

Hmmm.....I'm only gonna list movies sagas that have 3 or more. When it comes to super hero movies I'd go with the Superman movies, Batman movies, and Spider-Man movies. I really like the Bourne movies. I haven't watched all of the Rocky movies as an adult but they'll probably be in there when I do. There's definitely a few I'm forgetting. I'm not really into Star Trek tho' i really liked the new one. I haven't watched any of the others as an adult.

SPEARHEAD - Say Hey (I Love You) All Rebel Rockers (2009) What a feel-good song. I love that VH-1 is playing this!!!!
