MONEY BOSS PLAYERS - Games America Is Dying Slowly (1996) I wanted this album back in the day and finally found a used copy 2day for $3. Biz Markie, Chubb Rock, Prince Paul, Pete Rock, The Lost Boyz, Coolio, Money Boss Players, Common Sense, De La Soul, Sadat X, Diamond D, Domino, Mac Mall, Celly Cel, Ant Banks, Spice-1, Organized Konfusion, Da Beatminerz, Fat Joe (back when he waz good)....remember when mid-90's Hip-Hop waz like this?!

I've been wanting 2 get my hands on this mixtape for months and i kept 4getting 2 bid on it or would loose the an online auction since it wazn't a top priority. Well, i waz in a independent record store 2day and started looking UNDER their display shelves (i'm not sure if i waz supposed 2 be). And there is waz, the official Oddisee mixtape mixed by DJ Jazzy Jeff...brand new for only $3.99 (and i'm a member of that store so i got a dollar off...ha ha). I popped it in and i'm speechless. The mixtape is dope. Oddisee just may drop the best album of 2007. Jazzy does what he does best, is cuts up 34 of Oddisee's joints without over scratching and not adlibbing. All i can say is that his stuff on The Magnificent is just the tip of the iceburg. Any fan of true school Hip-Hop needs 2 get this CD. The lyrics are on point and the beats are flawless. This is the best artist-focused mixtape i've ever heard!!

Wow, i love when albums are truely full length. Don't get me wrong, some albums seem like they are made to be 40 minutes or so, but if a CD can hold 80 minutes of music...it's an artist's oppertunity to shine. I'm hoping 2 get a promo version of the album 3 months in advance like last time. Then i can send a copy of it 2 Tim AGAIN so he can share some of it with the board and it can get lost in the mail AGAIN and arrive 2 him a day or 2 before it actually drops AGAIN. :lol:

I got this article from AOL. I like Foxy...but it's time 2 grow up. It also featured a slide show of other rappers who were charged with stuff over the years...Snoop, Fabolous, Jadakiss, Young Buck, Lil' Kim, Puffy, it's embarassing. It also featured a poll on the readers' opinion on Rap music. 60 percent said they "hated it and always wood"...the rest was divided up between "loved it and always will" and "i used to but not anymore." ------------------------------------- Foxy Brown Jailed for Second Nail Salon Brawl AP PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. (Feb. 16) - Foxy Brown spent a night in jail after police said she threw hair glue at a beauty shop employee and later swatted an officer, her second legal problem stemming from a salon scuffle. Rappers and the Law The 27-year-old rapper was expected to leave jail Friday afternoon after a $1,500 bond was posted for her, the Broward County Sheriff's Office said. She was charged with battery and resisting an officer with violence. Brown's lawyer, New York state Sen. John Sampson, didn't return a phone call seeking comment Friday. It wasn't immediately clear how her arrest Thursday would affect her sentence of three years' probation and anger management classes for attacking a pair of manicurists in New York City in 2004. The argument was about payment for a manicure at Bloomie Nails in Manhattan's Chelsea area. According to the Florida arrest report, Brown was applying beauty products in the bathroom when a Queen Beauty Supply employee told her the business was closed and it was time to leave. She refused and threw hair glue at the employee, the report said. Brown then spat on the man as he called 911, staining his shirt. A police officer found her in the shopping plaza and tried to get her to return to the store. When the officer placed a hand on her arm to escort her to the store, Brown swatted it away, then started swinging her arms and struggling with the officer, the report said. The officer had to "use a takedown maneuver to gain control" of Brown, according to the report. No one was injured. Brown's real name is Inga Marchand. Her albums include "Ill Na Na" and "Chyna Doll," and she is known for her sexy outfits and racy lyrics. In December 2005, Brown's lawyer said the singer was almost completely deaf. She was undergoing treatment.

Heck Yes!! 2 days after my b-day. I waz wanting it 2 drop 4 the Summertime anyway. I guess the next JJ+FP album is next on his schedule...ha ha.

Congratz...u got some good stuff on the way!!

I thought their work displayed in the Homebase insert waz great. I've always wondered if that organization still existed and if their murals still stood in Philly.

JOHN MAYER - Dreaming With A Broken Heart Continuum (2006) Man, this is the 1st time i really listened 2 the lyrics of this song. Amazing. Been there...made me go there again.

I know about LL's comment months ago, i thought this waz a new comment tho.' If anyone knows if recycled from months ago. It kinda surprises me that this new LL album hasn't taken on much of a form yet. Maybe he's having second thoughts about working with current commerical rappers. Maybe Jay-Z isn't paying any attention 2 the album.

I don't know. Flavor Flav is "the joker" of PE. It's his kinda thing 2 be out there doing crazy stuff like reality. I don't have a serious problem with his shows. They are mad hilarious 2 me and he does share some respectable moment with the audience here and there. And it has drawn a lil' more attention 2 PE's music. I just can't be mad at what he's doing.

Yeah, there waz no official news of the album. He gave me the scoop that the album waz in the works and that he waz helping out with it. But a few months later i brought it up and he said that the project fell thru.' When u look at the vibe of Lost + Found and how he waz working with artists like Mary J. Blige, Robin Thicke, Snoop Dogg, Ludacris...all who are having great years, u know the project would have probably been eclectic and a sucess.

I voted yesterday...good luck.

I've never seen it, but it looks interesting. It's probably full of very basic info tho.'

Well, there are different versions of CD singles. But i would definitly say 2 get "The Thigns U Do" CD single cuz that one typically has really good remixes on it. "I'm Looking For The One" has remixes that are basically the same as the album version...but it also usually has the b-side "Get Hyped." I say go 4 it!!

"How am I gonna re-sign with competition? I'm not an idiot. I can't depend on that man to promote my record while he's somewhere writing rhymes. I'm L.L. Cool J." -- LL Cool J on Why He Won't Renew His Contract With Def Jam if Jay-Z Is Still in Charge Rate This Quote 67% Thumbs Up 37,273 20% Thumbs Down 11,352 13% I'm Not Sure 7,245 Total votes: 55,870 ------------------------------------------ I like how he called Jay-Z out. Jay-Z had some edge back in 1996, but since then, he's just dropped a decent single here and there. I view him as an savy business man who is egotistically self-obsorbed and way overrated. I think him running Def Jam is still a joke and it's gotta be embarassing that LL Cool J, the cornerstone of Def Jam is leaving. It just dosen't seem right...but it seems much more right than anyone other than Russell Simmons running Def Jam. Under the quote is the results from people voting on their point of view. I'm surprised so many people have sided with LL since they are so many commercial rap fans out there supporting Jay-Z

BEYONCE - Listen (Instrumental) Listen CD Single / Dreamgirls (2006)

Yeah, i got the DVD as part of the boxset he released in 2004 (i think). Really good show. U can now get just the DVD at Wal-Mart for like $9.72. Great price 4 a great show.

Yeah, what he said.

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. As a preview for "Return of The Magnificent," BBE/Rapster Recrods will be releasing a 5 track 12" EP which serves as the perfect taster to the full length album. 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.
