That title's kinda misleading....don't say FP is producing it if he isn't. It waz a let down 2 not see him on the list. They've been friends and business potnas forever, which makes u think they'd collaborate again...but at the same time, she might wanna stand on her own 2 feet and break outta his shadows. I can't wait 4 the new album. The line up of producers sounds really good. I hope she gets it out 4 the summer and that FP is on it somewhere.

DJ JAZZY JEFF + RAHEEM DEVAUGHN - My Soul's Not 4 Sale The Return of The Magnificent EP (2007)

I really like Jazz myself. I used 2 listen 2 it more back in the day than i do now tho.' I really like the modern stuff that is smooth and R-N-B infested. I appriciate the old stuff like the big band stuff, but for the most part, i just like the smooth stuff. I don't really follow any artists, but i do have a Jazz station programed in2 the radio in my car.

Those of u who really want The Return of The Magnificent EP should really check for the CD promo released in the UK. Of course the sound quality is perfect, but u'll also get bonus trax. I FINALLY got mine in the mail. It comes in a cheap plastic CD sleeve with a very basic insert. The one side has the album cover and the other has the title and tracklisting (black text over a plain white paper). It has a sticker on it saying the following... "The Return of The Magnificent" DJ JAZZY JEFF - BBE + Rapster Records - February 5, 2007. The Grammy award winning DJ Jazzy Jeff presents the follow up to 2001's hugely succesful release "The Magnificent" with a brand new artist album titled "The Return of The Magnificent," due to be released in February.

The EP features Kanye West's new protegee Rhymefest, then infamous CL Smooth, North Carolina's Little Brother, Neo Soul superstar Raheem DeVaughn and the new instrumenatl Latin cut BossyNova. Return of The Magnificent already promises to be one of 2007's highlights, as Jeff himself says "This is turning out to be the best record I have ever done." The real reason 2 cop the UK promo is the 2 extra trax... Tracklisting: 1. Jeff N Fess feat. Rhymefest 2. Jeff N Fess feat. Rhymefest (Clean) 3. Jeff N Fess (Instrumental) 4.

TOBYMAC + BOOTSY COLLINS - Diverse City Welcome To Diverse City (2004)

I kinda figured that...but it was hilarious in the movie. :3-laugh3:

I got it back in 2000ish...i haven't listened 2 it since. I don't really remember the track. I didn't think it sounded bad tho.' Just something different.

That's why it's "based on a true story"...cuz it's not literally a true story. Besides $250 a week doesn't really get u anything anyway. To me, that doesn't make the real story less impressive.

Right.

I actually have a CD single from Timbuktu from like 2000. I won a Hip-Hop CD on ebay and the seller sent me a few other singles with it for free. I'm trying 2 think of some of the people who have come outta Maryland. Here's a short list... Jada, Johnny Gill, Toni Braxton, Tamar Braxton + The Braxtons, Dru Hill, Ginuwine, Delious (from All-4-One), and Kev Brown (i think). There's a handful of others but i they aren't coming 2 mind.

I dont' think American Idol is a bad show...or even reality TV. It's undiscovered talent competing 4 the spotlight. In the early part of the season they show both the good and the bad. Most of the final few singers are actually very talented. On top of that, there's nothing fake about it and it's family friendly. It's one of the highest rated shows of all time. I think it would be a great place 4 MJ 2 make an appearance. Besides, most of the singers are probably MJ fans.

This is my 3rd V-Day being single. I don't know about anyone else, but it doesn't even feel like V-Day when u are single. It made me think back 2 when i wazn't single...which waz kinda sad cuz i always did V-Day up real big and always had alot of fun. Oh well, i have a feeling next year will be V-Day again.

Will Wacko Jacko Bring Glove to "Idol"? Posted Feb 13th 2007 1:10PM by TMZ Staff Filed under: American Idol Courtney Love on "American Idol" -- intriguing. Michael Jackson on "Idol" -- shocking! It could happen, though, if certain hints dropped by "Idol" producers are to be believed. Realitytvmagazine.com reports that "several signs" point to the possibility that Michael Jackson will have his own "Idol" theme-week, and might even "mentor" the impressionable young talent on the show. Why all the Jackson buzz? First of all, "Idol" producers have hinted for weeks at a "big event show" during this season. Also, reports have swirled that Jackson has turned to "Idol" creator Simon Fuller to help revive his flagging career, perhaps involving a comeback show in Las Vegas. Finally, in a recent conference call, executive producer Nigel Lythgoe explained the show's impenetrable wall of silence around contestants, and used Jackson as an example, saying they wouldn't want it to "slip out with somebody telling their mom that Michael Jackson is coming." Would a savvy operator like Lythgoe really let such a big scoop just slip? Reps for the show had no comment. A rep for Michael Jackson could not immediately be reached.

ALL-4-ONE - Beautiful As U A-4-1 (2002)

HaPPY V-DaY!! And for those of u celebrating Single Awareness Day with me...don't be depressed. U gotta be happy in your own skin b4 u can every be happy with another person. Don't don't make yourself feel lonely.

AMEN.

I could only see that as taboo. I mean, listen 2 some of the remixes people have done over the years. Some of them are awful...the beats don't even match the vocals half the time. This masterpiece is lucky enough to be pretty untouched. I can't even say i'd want Jermaine Durpi, Pete Rock, DJ Premier, Rodney Jerkins, or Timbaland 2 be allowed 2 touch it...and they are amoungst my favorite producers.

LEVERT - Good Ol' Days (Single Remix) The Best of Levert / For Real Tho' (1993 / 2001) Like Brakes...listening 2 a joint that takes me back 2 the 90's....i'm about 2 pop in Gerald Levert's new album again...it's sooooo good.

That's what they do with legendary artists. They keep putting compilations and greatest hits albums out. Some are top-notch stuff with pictures, liner notes, and rare stuff....some have very common stuff with no bells -n- whistles. It's just the way things go. I think this greatest hits collection is perfect. Every single is on there in order of it's release and in the form it waz released in (remixes, radio edits, etc). I don't mind the cheap stuff like "Before The Willennium" either. It's not really anything new...i'm just happy 2 be getting something new. Anyone who is underrating The Very Best of JJ+FP needs 2 get their head right.

I agree with everything u said. Lyrically, the song's poetic approach is great. But musically, it's a sleeper.

Let's not start the un-true rumors 2 soon.

Exactly. I love that the acappella isn't available. Remixes are cool...infact i love them. But some some songs simply shouldn't be touched. "Summertime" is one of those songs. I think the few remixes that do exist are rare occasions where they turned out great. DJ Jazzy Jeff's Remix waz just as big as the album version back in the day. And then on the single, all off the remixes were essentially the album version but with an instrument, a sample, a vocal, and/or a sound added or taken out....not a full-on remix. The remix done 4 Old School Vs. New School waz different and really good...and the SoulPower ones for Greatest Hits were really good 2. But i wouldn't even want some amature remixers or blenders messing up the classic.

Here's an article that i came across. I think that it's discusting that people can just pry in2 stories like this. I don't think anyone truely respects her as a real entertainer or anything, but that's no excuse 2 have all these people coming out of the woodwork 2 say something. Stuff like this isn't even newz if u ask me. -------------------- Anna Nicole Smith 911 Tapes Made Public AP HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (Feb. 13) - Anna Nicole Smith was unresponsive and not breathing when an Indian tribe's police department requested help from paramedics, according to a tape released Tuesday. Recent Developments Surrounding Smith's Death In the 31-second call, the Seminole tribal police department asked Hollywood paramedics for help in assisting Smith, who was found unconscious in her room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on the tribe's reservation. "She's not breathing, and she's not responsive. She's, um, actually Anna Nicole Smith," the woman from the Seminole Police is heard saying in asking for help in Room 607. "Oh, OK," a woman at the Hollywood Police Department responds. Smith, a former Playboy playmate, model and reality TV character, was pronounced dead about an hour later at a hospital. The tape of the conversation was released by the Hollywood Police Department. The tape of the original 911 call to the tribal police was not released. Smith's partner, Howard K. Stern, wasn't with her when she died, but he had been there that morning, and he knew she was very sick, his sister, Bonnie Stern, said. Smith was running a fever of 105 degrees, and a nurse was "icing her down" earlier that day, she said. "When he left her, she was sleeping," she said. Howard Stern had been gone only about two hours when news reached him that Smith was dead, his sister said. Bonnie Stern, who recently traveled from her Beverly Hills home to the Bahamas to comfort her brother, said he had tried to get Smith to visit a doctor but Smith had refused because she was afraid that it would draw publicity. Stern Last Saw Anna SleepingSmith, Stern Were Planning WeddingSmith's Mother Says Stern Isn't FatherAnna Nicole, Bahamian Official Photos LeakGabor Husband Seeks Custody of Smith BabyAnna Nicole Coverage Draws IreSmith's Mother in the BahamasMore Smith News on TMZ"They had plans to get a yacht and to buy an engagement ring. They were going to get married Feb. 27. It was going to be a real marriage," she said. Asked what she thought caused Smith's death, Bonnie Stern said: "Her immunity was so low. She was so depressed. She kept getting sick and her body just probably broke down." Smith had never recovered from the loss of her 20-year-old son, Daniel, who died in the Bahamas in September while visiting his mother and newborn half-sister at a hospital, friends said. She had also spent a decade battling in court over the estate of her late husband, the 90-year-old Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II. Alex Goen, the founder and CEO of TrimSpa, knew Smith well from working with her as a company spokesmodel and said she suffered from social anxiety, as well, even after years in the celebrity spotlight. "She was clearly incredibly misunderstood," Goen told CBS's "The Early Show" on Tuesday. Smith had gone through drug rehabilitation in the past, and her mother, Vergie Arthur, has blamed drugs for her daughter's death. Smith had met Stern in 1996 when she was referred to his law firm, Bonnie Stern said. "He started doing her legal work and then he became her confidant. They became best friends and then he fell in love with her," she said. Stern, 38, is listed on a birth certificate as the father of Smith's baby girl. He said in an interview with "Entertainment Tonight" that he is the executor of a will drafted for Smith that will leave everything to the little girl, Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern. Another man, Larry Birkhead, also claims to be the father, and actress Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband, Prince Frederic von Anhalt, recently said he had a decade-long affair with Smith and might be the baby's father. Von Anhalt said Monday that he plans to file a paternity challenge in court and wants a DNA test. Birkhead told New York's Daily News that he and Smith had meticulously planned for the birth of the child, but that after they broke up he was pushed to the side. "Howard has never liked me and he never wanted me and Anna to be together," Birkhead, 34, told the Daily News in Tuesday's editions. "After she got pregnant, things went quickly downhill because of his difference of opinion on several matters." Birkhead recounted how he had tried to save Smith from her risky lifestyle. He said Smith left him because of his attempts to intervene. The couple split early last summer. "I watched over her to make sure she was safe, and once I was basically pushed to the side," he said, "I had no control over what she did or anyone else around her did." Bonnie Stern said "there were times of some intimacy" between Birkhead and Smith, but said, "Larry Birkhead was not her boyfriend."

ALL-4-ONE - Men Are Supposed To Cry Split Personality (2004) These guys needs some big label support again.

I highly doubt that would ever happen. After all, this website is based on a Hip-Hop group that hasn't released a full studio album in 14 years...and look how strong it's been going.
