But at the same time...if ANYONE other than FP wins, it'll be an insult 2 JMJ. Chuck D is the only other person that represents the old school and truely represents Hip-Hop with a standard.

I used 2 really like this song. But Kanye's sloppy and uninspired flow is starting 2 set in and bore me a bit. This happens 2 alot of Kanye's stuff 4 me. JOHN REUBEN - No Regrets Are We There Yet? (2000)

I'm glad u like it...i waz gonna feel bad if u got and didn't like it...ha ha. FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS - If You're Into It The Distant Future (2007)

Yeah, that "no snitching"code of the hood stuff is just idiotic. At some point u have 2 realize that wrong and right are bigger than the code of the hood. That same fool that u are protecting by keeping your mouth shut can come around and do the same kinda thing 2 your family. All these unsolved murders surrounding Hip-Hop are really aggravating. Some police simply don't care and some of the witnesses are immature cowards. It's in God's hands tho'...justice came be supernaturally fulfilled even if killers are not rotting in a cell.

Tattoo May Crack Jam Master Jay Murder AP Posted: 2007-11-04 11:56:48 Filed Under: Music News NEW YORK (Nov. 4) - The gunman who killed hip hop icon Jam Master Jay has never been identified, but he has what could be a telltale characteristic - a tattooed neck, according to a witness. Randy Allen noted the mystery gunman's tattoo in a story Sunday in the Daily News, marking what the newspaper called his first extensive interview about one of the hip hop world's legendary unsolved slayings. Jay, whose real name was Jason Mizell, was shot dead in his Queens studio on Oct. 30, 2002. Despite a lengthy investigation and substantial reward, the case has been stymied by uncooperative witnesses, investigators say. Allen, Mizell's business partner, told the Daily News he had cooperated completely with investigators and was furious that others had not. "This is a case that can be solved," he said. Allen's name has surfaced repeatedly in the case, as has that of his sister, Lydia High. Reports from four years ago indicated police placed her in protective custody. Recently, her attorney said he had not heard from her in more than a year. Allen told the newspaper he was in the 24/7 studio's control room at the time of the shooting, while his sister was near the studio entrance. Allen said she told him that after two gunmen ordered her to get down on the floor, she saw a man with a tattoo on his neck approach Mizell and fire. A first round injured another person; the second was blasted into Mizell's head from point-blank range. Working with rappers Joe "Run" Simmons and Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, Mizell manned the turntables on such 1980s rap classics as "King of Rock," "It's Tricky" and a top-40 remake of Aerosmith's "Walk This Way." -------------- From AOL Newz

JJ+FP - Boom! Shake The Room Code Red (1993) Been awhile since i listened 2 this one.

I hate when people steal an exclusive nickname for one person and give it 2 another...makes no sense.

No way...that track 2 me waz all Todd Smith 2005. While the song waz on the radio a lil,' i remember LL saying in an interview that he really wanted the song 2 be fully promoted cuz he felt people needed 2 hear it. I think it waz a BET inteview. TLC - I Need That (12" Promo) (2000)

very few rappers are good...period.

TLC - Creep CraZySeXyCOol (1994)

Ahhh...when "Wild Wild West" in it's prime. I have this on tape somewhere. Truely an underrated set. JJ+FP with Dru Hill, Kool Moe Dee, and Stevie Wonder. Alot of talent from all across the board on that set. Great choreography and pyro. Tons of energy and costumes are awesome. Makes me actually want FP 2 do another movie-related soundtrack song.

ALVIN + THE CHIPMUNKS - Witch Doctor Soundtrack coming Nov. 20 (2007) Tim, check their myspace page...u'll love it.

SHANICE + SMOOTH - I Like 21...Ways To Grow (1993) Fuq, u made me blow the dust off this album...ha ha.

I think since DMC's sound has changed a bit, with the right set up his shows would be fine. But in the style of an old Run-DMC show, i don't see how it would work very well. I got the 2001 Live Run-DMC show that recently got released and he had 2 rap over his own backtrack 2 fill in the gaps or push the lyrics further for when his voice got swallowed up. It was kinda painful 2 hear him that way since he once had the most powerful voice in Hip-Hop but i still love the album. I waz gonna pick up the DVD for it soon. It waz only $12 or something at Circuite City when i looked 4 it.

Not bad. If JJ+FP would tour, it be interesting 2 see how much further L+F would go...and especially The Return...

BEYONCE + FABOLOUS - Get Me Bodied (Timbaland Remix) Get My Bodied (CD Single) (2007)

There actually waz newz that came out months ago. I actually forget what the article said and i forget how legit it waz. I don't think it's at a "case closed" status, but some head way or a an arrest was made that waz related 2 the murder. Maybe one of us can find that newz.

TOBYMAC - Wonderin' Why Momentum (2001)

I need 2 get this...still looking for the J-Live album.

Usually on Halloween, i watch a thriller or scary movie with a friend. I don't really like scary movies and i had 2 work 2day. So i'll probably watch my Alvin + The Chipmunks Halloween DVDs 2morrow on my day off...ha ha. I contacted all of my co-workers late last nite and told them they could dress up at work if they wanted. Half of us did. Nobody else in the mall did so whenever we left the studio, people were staring at us...ha ha.

I'm with LL, i really wish Run + DMC would do shows every few years. Hip-Hop knows that Run-DMC is a trio and that JMJ has gone to a better place. They officially retired so their legendary legacy is set in stone. Bless the fans and bless Hip-Hop with reunion shows every once in awhile. It would be dope 2 see other pioneers like LL joining them for those shows. I'm sure something will happen at some point. It's still hard 2 believe Jay is gone and that it's been so long.

The only 2Pac DVD's i have are about his life. This is the 1st one i've ever seen that approaches it as an event...not about him, music, or Hip-Hop. Just the law and the amazing amount of mistakes in the case.

Today i picked up a DVD called Tupac Assassination that covers the murder of 2Pac. Hip-Hop's biggest mystery is 2Pac's death. Love him or hate him, his lyrics, inteviews, schetchy murder, it's unsolved status, his doctored music and movie roles, the lawsuits. It truely is one of the weirdest things in Hip-Hop. I grew up on Digita Underground. 2Pac wazn't really a frontman but he ran with the crew i still love 2 this day. In 1991 i started following becuz of his jump in2 the movie Juice. I actually didn't follow 2Pacalypse Now very closely becuz at 12 years old, i wasn't going 2 be able 2 buy that album...ha ha. However, but the time "Strictly..." came out, i waz down more than most. Me Against The World is one of the best Hip-Hop albums ever. Then his legal problems and drama overtook so much of his character and life. While his "deal with the devil" got him out of jail and on Deathrow Records waz something i never liked. I can't deny that the album is dope. We all know that while he waz basically the biggest thing in Hip-Hop and Rapat the time, his life waz cut short. Even back then, i remember hearing the newz on the radio, i thought it waz Suge Knight and his crew behind it. I remember my brother coming in my room and telling me that he died almost a week later. That kinda stuff has always stuck with me. Even tho' the doctored album are nothing compared 2 his real music, i still buy the and i still find the raw essence that 2Pac created in each track and appriciate that much of it. Even if they got a wack artist on the song and a watered down beat under him. Since 1996, i've bought most of the unathorized 2Pac DVD's just cuz they capture a bit a rare footage of the man that would have grown up and been a big part of saving Hip-Hop in the mainstream (had it even gotten half as bad as it is now). Anyways, on2 the DVD. Without giving it all away, let me tell u that u don't have 2 like 2Pac or Hip-Hop to like this documentary-style video. It starts at the root of things and interviews law and court experts, 2Pac's bodyguards, law enforcement, etc. It's amazing how many holes the story and case has. This video says how bodyguards witnessed 2Pac screaming and cussing at Suge saying he waz leaving Deathrow and that he waz done after Makaveli. They told stories of Suge calling bodyguards 2 keep 2Pac from taking all of his masters from Deathrow and how the label had millions of dollars that were supposed 2 go 2 2Pac and the rest of the artists and staff on Deathrow. 2Pac's masters were the only hope the label had in paying just part of that. It talks about Suge's righthand man who waz a crooked cop who had crooked cops working 4 him who also managed a "security" service. It talks about how the legit bodyguards who were friends with 2Pac were not interviewed by cops. It talks about all drama and the plan that the killers had. It talks about how Reggie told 2Pac 2 not wear a bullet proof vest and told the bodyguards 2 not carry guns that day. It talks about how they took the Nextel radios from some of the crew messing up their communication. It talks about how one of the bodyguards refused 2 not take a weapon and how he waz taken off of 2Pac and told 2 run security at the club 2Pac last perfomed at. It talks about how the cars surrounding Suge's car trapped them. It talks about how the bodyguards gave detailed information 2 police who later said they couldn't ive any information to them. It has law enforcement saying how they weren't aware that Compton police believe they found the car the killer was in (the only white Catty rented in Compton that weekend) and tried to inform Las Vegas police. How LasVegas police denied help from America's Most Wanted when they wanted 2 cover the story. The one bodyguard shares who he heard on Reggie's radio "got 'em" and later heard someone say "Don't say anything on the radios." It truely is a twisted and magnificent story. The DVD just came out. I found it as Target for $12. There is some footage scattered throughout it from June 1996 when he waz recording the Makaveli album. And for the 2Pac fans who haven't picked up the Nu-Klazzics Vol. 2 Remix album, trust me, this is the best 2Pac album release since Still I Rise.

Ha, that's the randomist costume ever. I'm just working. I told everyone they could come 2 work in costume 2morrow as long as it's tasteful. Since this is last moment and i won't have time 2 pick up a good costume i think i'm gonna come 2 work in our work uniform from YEARS ago. Since our old uniform waz pretty "out there" the customers will love it...at least the ones who have loyal to us for years.
