It must be a joint effort of Columbia Records and Puffy.

If i wasn't trying to save money
JumpinJack AJ replied to KevTastic's topic in Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
The crazy thing is i already have a frame for it. I planned on framing my Homebase one as well. There's a crazy big He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper poster i remember seeing in music stores back when i waz a kid. Every once in a awhile i see it on ebay but i haven't gotten it yet. I'd love 2 have them displayed side by side one day. -

TLC - Let's Just Do It Last Days of Left Eye (Bonus) (????)
-
Yeah, there's no news or legit source. It just sounds like some 12 year old who loves gangsta rap and thinks the 3 of them rep Hip-Hop 2 the fullest wrote it. Nobody cares about 50 Cent anymore...only his loyal fans. Everyone else is sick of him and see's that he's a washed up gimmick who doesn't know when 2 quit. Who knows what's up with Eminem. He showed us one of the worse declines in the history of Hip-Hop and Rap. He went from a witty, edgy individual to slowly conform and be a negative, obnoxious cry baby who can dish it but not take it coming back at him. Dr. Dre went from being a pioneer, to a creative visionary, to a sell-out, to an ultra sell out. I can't wait 2 listen 2 the new Dr. Dre album, but i can't say my expectations are high. He's surrounded himself with untalented people who make bad music. The only dope artists who where truely talented don't really stay close by his side. Chronic 2001 was a good album with great production. But u can't go from "gangsta rap is wack...gangsta rap is dead...i'm gonna stop writing vulgar lyrics and do profanity, violence-free albums" to talking about guns, weed, and surrounding yourself with new jack wannabes. I do wanna hear it and i will have an open mind, but his decisions kinda turn me off. Same with Eminem, he's been so annoying since 2001 that it's hard 4 me 2 see him coming back 2 his authentic sound with the insanely clever and funny lyrics over real Hip-Hop beats.

Will Smith made the first modern RnB?
JumpinJack AJ replied to BWS.com's topic in Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
Fresh Prince = Hip-Hop....any ?uestions? -
That's really annoying. Is it worth contacting them 2 see what's up. I gotta admit, i only check YouTube for some funny stuff or rare stuff. Otherwise, i don't use it often.

VH1 Lists 100 Greatest Hip Hop Songs
JumpinJack AJ replied to bigted's topic in Caught in the Middle
I agree with Tim. Those songs Tim listed shouldn't even be in the top 200. I only like 8 songs out of the ones he listed. U gotta mix the old with the new i guess 2 be fair. So many classics were overlooked. When it comes 2 new music, none of the new ones listed were amoungst the best of recent music. I'm just happy that it's better than most lists like this and that they are supporting alot of artists who have been forgotten by those not down with the old school. -
I can't believe some of u are supporting this idea. Then again, some people actually wanted there 2 be a sequel to Independence Day. The movie stands alone. It has enough flashbacks there there's no reason for a prequel. There is no more story left to tell. Especially since the first one wasn't even that good. There is a 99% chance they will not be able 2 come up with a decent script therefore if they make the movie, there is a 99% chance it will be an hour and a half worth of crap so that they can make some money. The average movie goer probably won't think there's a reason for a sequel either and i doubt it'll do what the 1st one did. The movie is already forgettable to me. After I Am Legend and Hancock, it looks like Seven Pounds is gonna save his career. After that, maybe they need 2 focus on another Bad Boys or Men In Black before their time is up...especially becuz we need a movie where he's doing "that Will Smith thing."

JumpinJack AJ replied to BWS.com's topic in Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
He's never done ANY serious singing in his career. "Willow Is A Playa" on Born To Reign is the only real semi-singing attempt and the song is more of a clever comedy type song anyway...nothing 2 be taken as a serious singing attempt. I'm sure he can carry a tune, but i don't want him dropping any R-N-B/Soul/Jazz/Pop albums like Queen Latifah...ha ha. -
Tim has gotten more and more bitter about the movies over the years...ha ha.

VH1 Lists 100 Greatest Hip Hop Songs
JumpinJack AJ replied to bigted's topic in Caught in the Middle
Awesome list!! I can't say i agree with the order...but nearly every song on it is dope!! They don't start thowing and dodgy ones until the 30's...and still then there are very few. Leave it 2 VH-1 2 show BET and MTV how it's done. Hip-Hop week is coming...I CAN'T WAIT!! -
I miss those dayz!! Thanx!! Ha ha...this is definitely the most serious and energy-lacking interview i've EVER seen from the guys.

:::in my best Flavor Flav voice::: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!! I didn't know what 2 expect from this movie. It's looks really good. I'm totally hyped for it now. This will distract me from my music cravings for a minute. And Rosario Dawsom is eternally yummy.
-
Yeah, Jeff's shows are rarely advertised in the the US unless he's really focusing on the US at the moment. I'd really like 2 see him spin. It's been awhile. The site looks good. I must say i do miss the old one with him spinnin' and noddin' his head. I really wanna get one of the new shirts. I'm just not crazy about that price.

3 Guesses What Dance I Was Doing?

This is for Julie and anyone else who cares. To set the scene, Arista released Left Eye's Supernova album in 2001 overseas but wanted her 2 change it up for the US release. It was part a long fight that had been going on since 1997. Left Eye's original solo album (produced by Eric Sermon and Wyclef) was neglected and overlooked while they pushed for TLC's new album 2 get completed. Left Eye wasn't changing the album and just abandoned it and started working with Suge Knight on Deathrow. She was cool with the camp but never really stood for what they do. I believe the whole thing was one of her attention-getting moves. She recorded a small handful of tracks under the name N.I.N.A. Most thought she was going gangsta being on Deathrow and using a nickname for a gun...however, Nina is the name she used as her character who would seperate "Lisa" and "Nickie" ("Nickie was the girl she 'turned into' when she used to drink too much). After appearing out of character on 106 + Park with Deathrow and not being happy around their energy, she left Deathrow (even tho' she never officially signed with them...still in her pending Arista contract). When she passed away, she started working on the new TLC record. We all know TLC's 3D came out without much success. The album wasn't promoted, the girls didn't perform much, and the singles/videos were only moderate hits. The 2003 "Now + Forever" greatest hits album was only released overseas until they 'released' it in the US in 2005 with no video or promotion. After Left Eye passed, her family slowely took her legacy over. However, they aren't exactly the wisest business people. Her incredible interactive website eventually was taken down and their "repackaged" version of Supernova including unreleased songs and remixes never came out. Deathrow also claimed they were gonna release the N.I.N.A. with the 6 tracks she did with them plus remixed tracks from Supernova. All they ever released was the "Too Street 4 TV" track on the Dysfunkional Family soundtrack. Well, hey are inked a deal with Koch and Mass Appeal and a Left Eye album is dropping NOVEMBER 11TH. It was originally slated for an October release and has been bumped back at least 2 times. There's no news of what the album is...Supernova...all of her other unreleased trax, remixed solo work, a mix of all of the above?!?!? Also, earlier this month, they officially released VH-1's amazing but haunting "The Last Days of Left Eye" including a few deleted scenes. The disappointing thing about the release is that the unreleased TLC song "Let's Just Do It" that is supposed to be on the DVD-Rom portion of the DVD doesn't work. Also, for those that care, one of the N.I.N.A. remixes was recently leaked. It's a more urban version of "Life Is Like A Park" featuring Eastwood (one of Deathrow's only decent emcee's). The production is actually good. Better than anything I've heard come off Deathrow since 2000. Left Eye's and Carl Thomas' vocals are the same...Eastwood laid down a rap on it. In my opinion, he's alright on the mic...the song just doesn't need him. Her new website is supposed 2 be launched soon... http://www.LeftEyeLegacy.com

The production is flawless...the combination of artists is amazing. This reminds me of the time that good music waz a common thing!! My only suggestion would be 2 make Pharrell's verse a little shorter...Q-Tip or Lupe should have opened the track THEN Pharell, then another emcee, then Sarah Green. Dope song! Thanx!!

50 Cent is easily washed up. He has been since 2004. It just that the commercial fans are finally finding that out now. The same immature gimmicks he pulled in the 1st few years of his commercial career simply do not work anymore. He looks like a child when he's doing them. Kanye has me going back and forth. His lyrics are average, his flow and voice are average or below depending on the song. His production is good but seems 2 be getting stale. His ego has always been uncalled for and annoying. And his new single is awful. I want Kanye 2 make good music and have his stuff 2gether cuz i really do wanna support him. I have his 1st 3 albums becuz i gave them a chance and liked them...however, i pretty much never listened 2 them after the 1st week or 2 that i got them. And Dr. Dre's album isn't gonna make it this year. I remember reading an article in the last month or so where he talked about aiming for 2009.

I doubt Gorilla Black can act...but he can act like Biggie. From the music and videos i was exposed 2, he was just trying 2 be Biggie and did a decent job at trying 2 do so. He seemed like a gimmick just like The Realest was trying 2 sound and write like 2Pac. I have zero respect for someone like that becuz that isn't being and artist at all....but Gorilla Black definitely had Biggie down.

I think it's funny that the artist who would easily outsell the washed up wannabe gangsta moved his date.
