  1. Good 2 see a new face...welcome!!
  2. The video is alot of fun. I love it. The only problem that remains is that Peedi simply isn't good. Him on the spinning thrown is just as bad as K. Smith wearing the FP necklace.
  3. THE ISLEY BROTHERS w/ 112 + LIL' KIM - Floatin' On Your Love ('Float On' Bad Boy Remix) Floatin' On You Love (CD Single) (1996)
  4. Okay...i've ignored the whole K. Smith thing up until now. I've read the reviews and opinions but never checked him out 4 myself cuz i figured he'd annoy me. Well, i just watched a bunch of those videos. 2 me, he comes off as a misguided kid who seems like he's probably a nice kid but the whole expectation of what a rapper on a commercial level should be has warped his mind. He's definitely gotta get rid of The Fresh Prince chain. I guess FP gave it 2 him 4 good luck but by no means does K. Smith have any part in the JJ+FP legacy. I can see him hanging out with idiots like Young Burg and getting that classic old school chain snatched off his neck. The song "Betterman" isn't awful...but that's as nice as i can put it. Thank God he's not trying 2 come off hardcore and cussing, but his lyrics are weak as is his flow. I give him a C- on the vocal skillz and a C for the beat. Omarion is the only thing the song really has going for it. The video is unimaginative but good. Those interviews are what kills it. He sounds like a fool. How much time can he spend talking about "the ladies" and how many times can he say "it's crazy." His freestyles are about the worse i've EVER heard. The only way i'd even consider buying the album is FP's name is on it. What a disappointment.
  5. Am i doing something wrong? I only get the header and the text on the left side of the screen. Now that i have high speed internet i don't know why it wouldn't be working 4 me.
  6. JJ+FP - Summertime (DJ Jazzy Jeff's SoleFul Remix) Summertime: DJ Jazzy Jeff's 2007 Remixes Promo (2007)
  7. Ha, at least we can agree on that. I think that song with Fall Out Boy sucks. But i don't like Fall Out Boy so that didn't help much in the 1st place. But people are going 2 Timbaland 2 albums. Just ask Justin Timberlake + Nelly Furtado (2 of the biggest artists with 2 of the biggest albums of the past year). Aaliyah, Ginuwine, Missy, and LL Cool J have also benifited from his executive album producing. Omarion, Bobby Valentino, and Pussycat Dolls all had hits with him this past year. And the big names like Snoop Dogg, Nas, and Jay-Z have all gotten hits with Timbaland in the past. 2 me, Tim is in the in the longevity game alongside Jazzy, Premier, Jay-Dee, Jermaine Durpi.
  8. I finally got his 1st album recently. When it comes the people who have got airplay in the last year, his probably is the one with the best album (compared 2 all the cookie cutter rappers and dirty south bandwagon rappers). I heard "Hip-Hop Police" awhile ago and thought it waz okay. I even got a mixtape with the track on it and didn't care about it 2 much. But i heard it just this week and like it a whole lot more. The production is respectable and lyrically is light years ahead of the stuff on the radio. Not 2 mention having the one and only Slick Rick on the track. I'm anxious 2 get this album...without waiting a year 2 do so.
  9. Timbaland is an originator. Reguardless of people's opinions of his music, he's always been an originator. His sound has been imitated (but never duplicated) since the late 90's. He's stayed fresh over the years. How many producers can u think of who have kept doing their thing since 1996? Commerically Jermaine Dupri is the only one who comes 2 mind. More on the Hip-Hop side of things, DJ Premier, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Dr. Dre (tho' most of that time has been dryspells), and Pete Rock are the only others doing their thing. Just Blaze, Scott Storch, Swizz Beats, and The Neptunes are all "new school." They have staying power 2 prove or they have dryspells and inconsistant sounds and success. Timbaland has kept the music coming in the mainstream and under the radar. Hundreds of talents go 2 him and rely on him for hits. On top of that, his a positive person who isn't wrapped up in the idea of fame and success AND, in my opinion, his solo albums (other than Shock Value) are some of the best Hip-Hop records done in the past decade. Ain't nobody got anything on Timbaland. His longevity, staying power, talent, and originality are in a class all their own.
  10. What a freakin' joke! None of them cats even deserved 2 be mentioned in the same sentence as FP. Black Thought is the only other emcee with undeniable skill. None of them other guys even said anything intellegent in a song 2 the best of my knowledge.
  11. Sounds good. I can't wait. I think their sound and voices will sound really intersting. I could see this album doing well.
  12. I don't see how Wyclef and T.I. mix...but i'm anxious about a new Wyclef album. I wonder what made him get back with Columbia.
  13. Definitely not my kinda thing. I must say that if Timbaland + Justin Timberlake did 50's current single without him...i'd love the song. I just can't deny how perfect Timbaland's production is on nearly every track his produces. I guess i'll give Kanye's album a listen since he has done production that i've liked. More recently it seems like he lost his touch. Lyrically i don't think i like anything he says anymore...and his flow and voice are terrible. I'll give it an honest listen in a record store tho.'
  14. Anyone feel like they are in middle school again when they read this? 50 is such a fool...ha ha. Who actually takes this guy seriously??
  15. JON B. - Don't Talk (Lawless Hip-Hop Remix) Don't Talk (Import CD Single) (2001) I've wanted this single for years. Finally came across it!!
  16. I waz in PA the last few days. Mine waz 2 arrive in the mail 2day but i wazn't here 2 sign for it. So they left me a confirmation ticket. I now gotta take a long break while i'm at work 2 go over 2 the post office 2 pick it up.
  17. I don't expect any new music quite yet. Without getting in2 it all over again, the stuff on the radio is inexcusable. Who wants 2 be a part of that. And with fools like Hurricain Chris, Young Joc, Pretty Ricky, Soulja Boy, and Baby Boy on the radio, who wants 2 compete with untalented "Dirty South" commerical rappers? Lost + Found is only 2 and a half years old. FP's about 2 get rejuvinated. I'm sure we'll hear something in the upcoming months. Definitely by this whole strike thing. He may be waiting for his nephew 2 drop his album so as to not compete or overshadow his attempt.
  18. He's got that whole charisma thing going on 2. He's just naturally a nice guy. He's funny and he's got style. Even when he waz overweight, with an lazy eye and a chipped tooth, the ladies loved him. He showed them respect and gave them props in so many songs ("Sista Sista" being my favorite). Yet, he also has that rugged side the any ruffneck will nod his head 2 ("Who's The Man" is still on point 2 this day). After getting back in2 this post, i'm definitly wanting some new music from the DiddlydiddlyD.
  19. I haven't been able 2 check the song yet...but i will soon. I think i'm just scared 2 hear it. This probably will be his worst album. He just doesn't care. He doesn't want to create real music under the label that used 2 be Def Jam. The game is so bad right now he probably feels that the album will be swallowed up and forgotten anyway. After all, this is the emcee who has stayed true 2 himself, reguardless of crazy success and lack of it. Right now, i'm looking forward 2 LL long term...not LL short term. Real quick tho'...does anyone know where the "Freeze" remix can be found. And official release of it? "Bump This" is a random b-side. The "Freeze" remix has been impossible 4 me 2 find.
  20. Ha, i've always wanted them 2 work 2gether. Heavy D has always been in my top 4 or 5 emcees of all time. I think all of his albums are great. Heavy (1999) has a more current Heavy D, Waterbed Hev (1997) is his slick late 90's album (compared BWS), u've got Nuttin' But Love and Peaceful Jorney. Blue Funk is his moody album that came out Peaceful Jorney and Nuttin' But Love. It features the hit "Who's The Man" and on of my favorites "Truthful." It also has appearances from Busta Rhymes and Biggie b4 they blew up. Big Tyme is the classic late 80's album with a strong New Jack Swing feel. His 1st album (forget the title at the moment) is classic old school.
  21. Whoa, after the video ended a link for "Is It Good To You" came up. That waz my 2nd favorite joint of Peaceful Journy. They never aired this video much. Lovin' this!!
  22. Heavy D has always been one of my favorite emcees. I've been holding out for a new album forever!! His last album dropped in 1999. Other than that, the only thing i can remember him doing is producing a track on Timbaland + Magoo's last album...which waz really good. "Nuttin' But Love" is one of the defining albums in 90's Hip-Hop. I had some classic singles (Got Me Waiting, Nuttin' But Love, Black Coffee, It's Your Night, Sex Wit U). Heavy D has always brought quality stuff with a touch of class. Seeing this video brought back memories. This video waz in heavy rotation all summer.
  23. I wasn't being harsh...just joking around.
