The beat is decent but nothing special. Dre sounds good....Eminem still has an annoying flow going on here.

Already gone.

Thanx everyone. I apologize for missing most of the B-Day posts here. Allow me 2 use my B-Day 2 wish everyone a Happy B-Day...ha ha. 2day has seriously sucked. I don't even wanna get in2 it. Just an awful day...10 more hours 2 turn it around.

Wow, i can't believe u went there...ha ha. I remember buying that cassette from Pizza Hut back in the day...ha ha. Alot of good songs on this page of the post. I'm not listening 2 music right now. Just message from Joel Osteen before bed.

In my opinion... THE POSITIVES: * The beat, it's ill. Straight Hip-Hop. * His flow...not his voice...but his flow is pretty sick. * The video...dark and edgy but visually impactful. It has a look that videos are missing. THE NEGATIVES: * His voice. It's just annoying. If he would have used his regular voice with that flow and over that beat, this song would be so good. I'm open 2 hearing this new album. I don't think it's gonna be on the level of his earlier stuff...but it sounds like it'll be better than his last 2 studio albums.

Let's not forget that FP did get in serious money trouble with the IRS. I don't see him as such a bad person 2 hear from. Celebs being involved in this kinda thing does seem a lil' off.

Very cool More people need 2 show him love in this musical drought.

I have the original version of the album on vinyl (i don't know of the orignal version was ever released on CD...i've never found it). 2 or 3 of the song are different from the 1988 Jive release. I wanted 2 put them on CD but the condition of the record makes it so the the sound quality isn't that amazing. I'll probably get another one in the upcoming months. Congrats on the find!!

I don't think i want Bay touching that kind a movie unless Sonnenfield (sp?) isn't gonna do it. He's half of the magic for the MIB movies.

MARVIN GAYE - Come Live With Me Angel I Want You (1972)

Thanx, i will be checking this out. The 1st single i ever heard from him i LOVED. I picked up the Alantis album and wasn't that in2 it cuz i expected more Hip-Hop instead of the sing-songy experimental stuff. I also go the "Collected" album. Just 2day i was sifting thru' Borders' Hip-Hop section was like "wow, there is almost nothing in there that i even wanna listen 2...much less buy." I saw an old K-os album and thought i should revisit him. So yeah, i'll be checking it out in the next day or so...and i love that u are saying he's rapping more this time around.

MARY J. BLIGE - Keep Your Head Share My World (1997) Man, what a classic album. I have'nt listened 2 this album the whole way thru' in a looooooong time. It's takin' me back HARD. Bring back R-N-B like this!!!!!

With most releases u will get a mix of music and movies, most of them leaning towards teh movies side of his career becuz that's what sells. Will Smith featuring DJ Jazzy Jeff: Live In Concert is a must have. It's JJ+FP doing a show in 2005 for a select audience. They cover a few things off L+F, a handful of solo hits and JJ+FP hits. It's just dope...i would watch it again and again. The Will Smith Video Collection: This has all of his videos from "Men In Black" thru' "So Fresh" (unless u get the VHS) The DVD has more video footage compared 2 the VHS. Will Smith: Biography. The A&E network did special on it and i found a few copies on ebay. I'm sure they are still there or at least pop up there from time to time. It's not a back biography on him. VHS: DJ Jazzy Jeff + The Fresh Prince: Summertime: And Other Hits. This covers all of their videos from "Girls..." thru' "Summertime." It's loaded with classic JJ+FP footage and interviews. Jazzy Jeff + Fresh Prince: Greatest Hits. This has most of the JJ+FP videos (it doesn't include "The Things That U Do" for some reason. At the end it has some behind the scenes footage and interviews...most of it from the previous JJ+FP video. BOOKS: I don't know that there are really any good books on him. I have a few short ones or magazine styles ones. Most of them have very general information but i pick them up when i see them or when they are really cheap. I can't really help u with this one.

I've been meaning 2 watch that again for awhile. I really wish Columbia would re-release that with all of the music videos, live performances. and behind the scenes stuff from his time on Columbia.

I was on half.com and when i was checking thru' the Jill Scott stuff, they have an album called "No. 1 Lady Remixed" slated for a June release. Hopefully this is real and hopefully some Jazzy Jeff remixes are on it.

Ahhh...Philly is the closest spot (which will no doubt be the longest and best show). This may be during a blackout period at work that could keep me from going. I'm gonna start checking it out 2day. Is there anymore info like where it is, where 2 get tickets, etc?

LEFT EYE - Through The Pain Eye Legacy (2009)

This totally got me in the mood for some Rakim. I am definitely poppin' a Rakim album in right now. Thanx!

"3 am" isn't on the level of the early stuff...but it's good. I like the beat. I didn't listen 2 the lyrics and the flow is different...but i do like this.

TLC - Depend On Myself OoOoOoOhhh...On The TLC Tip (1992)

I gotta go 2 work...but when i come home i'm coming right back 2 this post. De La is the truth! Thanx!!

Hmmm...i'm not sure that it does. I've spent years digging and collecting music. I don't know if i've ever seen a "Radio" single or promo. I'll keep my eyes open.

::::Awaits the list:::: THANX!!!

SWV - Weak (Bam Jam Remix) Weak (CD Single) (1993)

I heard of this guy but didn't hear his music until now. He doesn't sound like Eminem. His flow is kinda boring or uninspired. His production on this song is much better than the stuff i've heard Eminem rapping over in years. Eminem's comment above actually sounds very mature. Instead of being negative, critical, or just ignorant, he sounds chill and collected.
