Ha...i never saw the 1st one. I heard thru' alot of people that the 1st movie waz just okay. Since i'm a fan of DC Comics and not 2 big on Marvel, i passed on it. However, i did buy the extended cut of the movie thinking the 20 minutes of footage put in2 it would make it better than what my friends said it waz. Since i love comic book/super hero movies, i figured i'd watch the 1st one so i could see the 2nd. Besides, this newly released extended version has movie cash so i can see the new one for free. 1 brand new DVD and a movie ticket for $17...not bad. It better not suck!! I gotta say that the only comic movies i'm really waiting on is the Batman movie coming out in summer 2008...and the "talked about Wonder Woman movie, Flash movie...and the Justic League movie.

I wanna sent out a prayer request for some awful news i just got. One of my best friends that i grew up with just has tragity hit his household. Apparently, one of the family friends was calling his house trying 2 talk to his wife (also one of my friends). She wasn't answering the phone which was pretty weird, so the person trying to call the house called him at his work. He left work to check the house and his wife on the kitchen floor unconcious. Apparently she had some kind out-of-the-blue medical issue and slipped into a coma. She was on life support for about a week when they found that there was no brain activity and that they didn't plan on ever finding any. He made the hard decision to stop the life support and she died the next day (yesterday). I grew up with this guy. We've known each other for almost 20 years. I've known he wife for 10 of them. Even after we stopped seeing each other regularly (about 5 years ago), we've stayed in touch and they come to my photography studio for family pictures. About a year ago they had their 1st baby and just a few weeks ago, they had their 2nd. It was kind of weird because a few weeks ago, he brought their son in to get pictures and we didn't have much luck. He just didn't wanna cooperate. So a few days later he came came in with his wife and we tried again. We kinda talked and hung out since business was slow. Then to get this news, my heart just totally goes out to him. I can't imagin going thru' something like this and how he's going to raise 2 very young kids without a mother. I just got the news and i plan on calling him today or tomorrow. I have no idea what 2 say, but i gotta do it. For weeks i've felt like we were gonna start keeping in touch better and seeing each other more often and i'm feeling that now it may be cuz he's gonna need help getting thru' all of this. I'm just asking for company praying for this young family go give them strength, support, and comfort thru' this storm. I'm also asking for a prayer helping me to say the right words the right way when i talk to him. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, there's no way millions of people can actually think Young Joc and Jim Jones actually make good music. They just like what radio stations make people listen 2.

There's a b-side on an import of her "Daydreamin'" single that's really good. Just 2 months ago i found an import of her "Everytime" single which has some remixes of the song i never heard. I love her music...really wanting something more from her at the moment.

Now that u mention it, i did like "Wanksta." Of course that waz b4 we all knew 50's personality, that he has no diveristy in his music, and that he himself is a wanksta. I only knew of him from a few 90's mixtapes i had back in the day. Oh yeah, on an unreleated note. U know how he always talks about being shot 5 times or whatever? Someone unearthed his hospital records and they state that he waz only shot 2 times. Anyways, i also kinda liked "21 Questions"...but mostly for the beat. I never understood why "In Da Club" waz big. Other than the average beat, i thought it sucked.

GEORGE MICHAEL + MARY J. BLIGE - As For Living, For Loving (2006)

Albums like his are the kinda that steadily sell for a year or 2. Not thousands at 1st and then no more after the 1st month or 2. Since it's not a big mainstream release, people will find out about the album months later and pick it up when they find out about it. Lots of people who see Jazzy's shows will probably pick it up after the set. I don't think it's fair 2 hold it 2 the standards of L+F cuz they are 2 totally different kind of releases.

Jay Dee - Intro Rough Draft (2002/2007)

At the moment, there is nothing i like on the radio that i don't like regularly. In recent years, i've just been feeling stuff by Black Eyed Peas, Fergie, Pink, Gwen Stefani, Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake, Ne-Yo, Fort Minor, R. Kelly, Timbaland, Omarion, Marques Houston, Snoop Dogg, Akon...and some other stuff like John Mayer, Nickleback, Hinder, and Daughtry. All those artists i like and have no shame in it. Thinking back to 2003, there was a single or 2 by people like Young Gunz and Cassidy that i liked...but that's about it. I can't say there's really any crappy commercial stuff that i shamelessly like.

Yeah, definitely a rough week. Keep ya head up. Better days are on the way. I know how rough those things can be...especially back 2 back.

It's not even really an R-N-B album tho.' Kels said himself said he was inspired by the stuff on the radio (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA) and wanted 2 do something 2 compete with it. Which lead to a crappy handful of pointless songs. He says the album is "about 70% Hip-Hop and 30% R-N-B." In my opinion, it also only happens 2 be 30% good. The rest is average to bad. R-N-B fans have other albums 2 chose from if they want real R-N-B albums. This is his weakest album.

The album hasn't been out long...there's plenty of time for it 2 do more...or not do more. Just depends on what Jeff wants 2 do with it. I waz in a record store 2nite and did my part by making sure TROTM and L+F were in front of the CD's on the shelf...ha ha.

I had no idea ANYbody didn't know "potnas" was just the word "partners" prononced incorrectly. This is actually pretty amusing.

Did u guys see the video they set up for Jaden winning an MTV Movie Award. IT WAS HILARIOUS. It had Jaden sitting in a chair with the award why Jada was talking 2 him and FP was talking as he set up the camera. Then Jada gets behind the camera and FP hangs out off 2 the side making a way 2 big deal if he is in the frame...haha. They then feed Jaden his speech in a very ghetto way...so bad u could never edit the film to make it look or sound natural...which soon turns in2 a slightly rehearsed disfunctional Smith-famly fight...ha ha. I know someone will get a video of this very soon and post it here. It's hilarious, me and my friend were laughing so hard. FP looked smooth with a red shirt and hat...looking like he just stepped outta the booth recording L+F: Part 2.

Yeah, i waz just gonna say, if there is any truth to him recording a song called "Pocket Full of Money"...it doesn't mean it has to be a bad thing. We are just so used 2 the pointless materialistic themes in commercial rap that we'd automatically think it's about being rich and blowing money on stupid things. There's actually alot of things a song titled that could be about.

It's all seems pretty weird. If there is any truth 2 it, i'm sure we'll hear more.

Seems unlikely...but who knows. I'd love 2 see JJ+FP doing something live...even if i couldn't go see it.

Yeah, and it's even safe 2 assume that a new JJ+FP album would be dope. Dre, considering the people he works with....not so much.

TEDDY GEIGER - Seven Days Without You Underage Thinking (2006)

I STILL haven't got The Dana Owens album. I feel like a sell out fan. I almost got it a few times but always put it back on the shelf....then went home and listened 2 the good songs on the last Flava Unit album.

...or what music is.

well, idealy, all the people who visit this message board and Jeff's site should have already gotten it....so who's sleeping. And i agree that the internet has hurt the sales....it's done nothing but hurt everyone's sales. "Internet promotion" only seems 2 go so far. How many hit albums and songs have truely stemmed from internet promotion only?

When u are so fake in your music, u surprise people. I didn't watch the video cuz my computer would blow up. But i can imagin 50 Cent giving them props which would make me think "why is your music so bad and so stupid ...yet u give props 2 intellegent legends who were actually real in their music." I can imagin KRS-One being a team player like FP, who shows him respect even tho' crappy artists like him are torn apart in his music.

Praise God! New Latifah!! Life is good!! The show sounds interesting 2. Thanx 4 posting this!!!!!!!!

The only real promotion is done by Jeff himself by his touring and his interviews with usually small magazines. They sent out a promo for "Jeff N Fess" with "My Soul's Not For Sale" as the b-side (which i've heard on the radio kinda often on mature R-N-B/Classic R-N-B/Neo-Soul radio stations). There is no music video, posters, commercial or mainstream radio airplay. I can't say i expected it 2 be huge at this time. I think word of mouth and continued online support will keep it moderatly going. I'd love 2 see them do a music video tho'...INTENDED for the mainstream audience. It's all about the music tho'...Jazzy isn't trying 2 be Puffy. Let's embrace the album and let those who care know how good it is. It's kinda like L+F. It's promoting great music, pleasing alot of music fans, and building a reputation 4 Jeff. But hopefully it'll set up a bigger album with bigger success.
