MJ calls everyone he works with his friends. I'll believe they are truely best friend when u see MJ loungin' in the background of an Akon video...ha ha. Akon's remix of "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" on Thriller 25 is probably my favorite remix on the album.

None of the modern day female rappers are really saying or doing anything. At least none that have gotten any mainstream success. To me, Left Eye was the last of the truely talented femcees. Coming out in 1991 with people like Marly Marl producing her stuff, she waz the last thru' the door opened by Roxanne, Salt-N-Pepa, Queen Latifah, and Yo Yo. Much respect 2 Da Brat and Foxy Brown, but Left Eye could hit u with something for the ladies and for the fellas, something deep and something light, something insanely creative and something simple. Check the playful nasaly flow on OoOoOoOohhh...On The TLC Tip, the high pitch flow on CraZySeXyCOol, the deeper voice rhythmic flow on FanMail, and the free spirit earthy flow on Supernova. She just kept changing and showing different sides. She designed her own (and TLC's) outfits, wrote all of her own rhymes (other than "Big Willie Style" and some of the stuff she did when working with Deathrow), she played instruments, sewed, danced, sang, acted. Insanely unpredictable. The more i think about her, the more i miss her, as if i knew her. Some artists just have that thing. I wish they were airing The Last Days of Left Eye here in the US. I haven't seen it yet. I saw it before and found it very interesting. Even non-TLC fans would find the stuff that goes on in it very interesting.

Here's something i got from AOL...u can tell that the title is aimed 2 get your attention...ha ha ------------------------------------------------------ Michael Jackson Swears Off Women Posted Apr 25th 2008 12:00PM by Tracey Ford Filed under: Soul/R'n'B, R'n'B News, Say What! If we disregard Michael Jackson's rumored relationship with Brooke Shields and brief marriage to Lisa Marie Presley, which was criticized by the media and labeled as publicity stunt, one could surmise that the King of Pop has never been a ladies man. Obviously, Jacko didn't get the memo and the former pop star is swearing off woman while he concentrates on reviving his career. A source close to Jackson has been quoted confirming recent rumors that the singer has also barred his children from the recording studio. "Michael has banned his kids from the recording studio. He realizes this is very important and doesn't want any distractions," an insider claims. The singer was reportedly dating his children's nanny, Grace Rwaramba, but that relationship is over according to the insider. "He's not going to be involved in any personal relationships with women until he gets this record done. He's dumped the nanny -- she's not around any more." Jackson has tapped Grammy-nominated producer/singer Akon and RedOne for his upcoming album, which the trio just started working on in a Las Vegas studio.

Well, 2day marks 6 years. Instead of starting a new post, i just figured i'd bring this one back. As quiet as things have been, TLC is busy doing their own thing. T-Boz has started working on a solo album. A lil' bit ago she made an appearance on the last Youngbloodz album (ugh) and has continued running her children's clothing line/store Chase's Closet and doing work with Sickle Cell. Chilli has started a hand bag company and has been working on a solo album for nearly 2 years. The song "Game Proof" featuring T-Boz waz leaked awhile ago (which she originally wanted 2 release as a single/video). Other songs like Glidin,' Dumb Dumb Dumb, and Straight Jack have also been leaked but they don't set the standard that TLC set. They are still fun songs but with the dirty south influence, the sound kinda like something Ciara might do. She isn't gonna sign with Konvict anymore but says she has a very good option or 2 with who she will sign with. She says she's about about killing downloads and bringing back "the album" along with a string of singles instead of 1 or 2. Left Eye's sister has stopped working on her solo album (years in the making) 2 focus on a new Left Eye album that will be released with the Left Eye documentary VH-1 aired. No news of it will be Supernova reworked, unreleased stuff, or (God forbid) doctored stuff. Left Eye's family doesn't like working with other people/companies which has lead 2 many projects beeing forgot, incomplete, or abandoned. Hopefully they get things right if they are gonna go thru' with this. TLC have talked about doing another tour or a goodbye tour and possibly more music. T-Boz calls 3D their weakest project due 2 alot of things going on at the time...making it sound like they wanna do another album. Anyways, y'all know TLC is my other favorite group. Rest In Peace Left Eye. TLC forever.

MONICA - Before You Walk Out of My Life (Pete Rock Mix) Before You Walk Out of My Life / Like This And Like That (CD Single) (1995)

Out of all the award shows and performance shows i've seen over the years, i've NEVER seen Mariah Carey lipsync. Where'd u see this? I watched her Adventures of Mimi concert DVD the other day and the show was flawless.

I like the swagger...but i HATE the beat. I swear i've heard this before. Some of the lyrics were really familiar. I'm hyped for the new album 2...i hope it's better than the last. I liked the last one, but i when i put it away, it waz months b4 i got it back out...and it didn't stay out 4 long.

It sounds like the remix would only be a step in the wrong direction...but if someone puts it up, i'd check it.

BOYZ II MEN - I'll Make Love To You (Acapella) I'll Make Love To You (CD Single) (1994)

Exactly...which is why i find this list annoying...not funny, not legit...not anything.

U have gotten quite cynical in the past year or 2....ha ha. What's up with that? I couldn't get my computer 2 play this new trailor. I personally don't care if they are showing the drama side of it. I think a lot of people won't expect it...but i don't know if they can expect much at all since the movie seems kinda quirky. I think that anyone seeing it will be surprised and like the movie no matter what they expect.

Wow! This is good. I don't even like Game. "Dreams" is the only song by him that i really liked...but this is dope. I'm not a fan of his voice...but then i think about any dirty south rapper and realize there's nothing wrong with it...ha ha. The beat is good, Keyshia Cole is amazing as usual and i like alot of the lyrics on this one. Thanx 4 sharing!!

BELL BIV DEVOE - Do Me! (Mentality Hip-Hop) Do Me! (CD Single) (1990)

Being optimistic towards this album is darn near impossible. It's forced on my end. I believe 100% that LL is just doing this next album 2 get off the label the once was Def Jam. There's no reason 2 stick around. None of his legendary-status peers are on it and the label only puts out 2 or 3 good releases each year. After all of the albums he's done, especially since his 2002 comeback and after all the interviews he's given, it's hard 4 me 2 believe that the current trax are close 2 LL's heart and that he feels they are his best work. I think he's kinda out of his element there and is just doing the bare minimum. After a label change and break i'm sure he'll be coming back with something much better. I mean, this is LL Cool J...he can't stay in a rut forever.

BAHAMADIA + SLUM VILLAGE - One-4-Teen (Funky For You) (2000)

NAUGHTY BY NATURE + HEAVY D - Ready For Dem 19 Naughty III (1993) Songs like this really have me waiting for Hip-Hop's comeback.

:lolsign: :rofl: :3-laugh3: :clap2:

FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS - Boom (self-titled) (2008) Tim, the album is out. It's pretty funny. The songs that i didn't think were funny the 1st time around are getting funnier with every listen.

I like the experimental beat alot. The message is alright but i can't get used LL cussing again...at least not this much. His modern flow with the cussing just doesn't sit well with me. This isn't 2 bad at all but i'm looking for the album AFTER this one.

I always thought she was U.G. U.G.L.Y.

Figures...i never did look at the import versions yet. How good are the bonus trax? BLAQUE - Get It Back Blaque By Popular Demad (2001/2007)

The past few years i've heard so many people from the board saying how they can't find the album and if they can, it's always really expensive. Well, i waz just checking CDNow.com/Amazon and they have 6 used copies for under $5. There's another for $15, then one for $50. So anyone who has complained about not finding the album or not finding it for a good price has no reason 2 keep complaining. Get yours! U'll be glad u did!!

I love this song. That beat is lacking but the overall energy is good. No where near as dope as "Self Destruction" but definitely amazing 2 they standard that so many sey these days. KRS-One, Talib Kweli, Busta Rhymes, Method Man, Redman, and Ne-Yo did their thing. Even the other guys stepped their game up. SINGLE! VIDEO! GET SOMETHING LIKE THIS OUT!! Props 2 KRS-One 4 masterminding this.

...but "Ain't Nobody" is my joint. I got the video on tape somewhere.

Wazn't a demo version of this already released? I know i heard the lyrics b4. I swear it waz a staight Hip-Hop beat tho'. I don't mind the beat under the verses, but under that idiotic hook, the beat gets real annoying. Why is Lil' Crappy on the joint tho'...this colabo makes no sense. He definitly only takes away from the with the off-topic chorus...and the "'ey"s are annoying. This new version is making me loose some hope in the album. He needs 2 get off Def Jam and so good music again!
