HEAVY D + TYRESE - Criminal Mind Blue Streak (1999)

I peeped that track. I can't say that the beat is that impressive...or that the other guys on the track deserve 2 be rhyming alongside Kel....but it is cool 2 hear his progression. Do u know when this track waz done. I think it's safe 2 say that it didn't get recorded any later than 2003ish cuz his game has improved alot. U'll notice that with The Streets Know That EP. His game is tighter and his production has taken a big step up. And yes, Student of The Game is still getting worked on...and it WILL be comin' out. Our recent chat supports all that.

ROBIN THICKE - Flowers In Bloom A Beautiful World (2003)

Thanx!! It's downloading now. I really can't wait 2 hear that the album is finally about finished and coming out. Kel deserves all the success that's gonna come his way. Since the mixtape newz is old...i think we should retitle this as The Official Kel Spencer Thread...ha ha

I got Robin Thicke's 1st album from 2003 this week brand new but sold as "used" for $5. All the Robin Thicke fans will probably like this album...but it's less smooth soul and more funk w/ a dash of of pop-soul edge 2 it. Under the name THICKE titled A Beautiful World.

MAT KEARNEY - Undeniable Nothing Left To Lose (2006)

I will not respect somebody who who doesn't show respect 2 anyone or anything. And i will not "open my horizons" to a way of thinking that is purposly sucking the joy outta my life. Why would i purposly ignore all the things i've learned in life 2 live in a small-minded world where i stay in a negative mindstate instead of bringing others up, opening their eyes up 2 the good things they've got going on. That's ignorance 2 me. 2 some of us, this post is done. There's 5 posts about FP considering hanging up the mic...i'm thinkin' there should soon be 1.

Is there ever a time 2 be negative....i don't think so. Seems like alot of points were overlooked in that reply.

BEYONCE - Listen Dreamgirls Soundtrack (2006) I FINALLY saw this movie...i love it. Now i can listen 2 the soundtrack that i've had sitting on the dresser for the past month.

I gotta say that we all live in the same world. Some of us are happy, positive, and well aware of what's going on around them. Some people are critical, negative, and mistake their own depressing views on life as realistic. When u have nothing good 2 say...u are purposly living an average life. When u come 2 a message board just 2 annoy people...u are a pathetically trying 2 get a rise out of others 4 some sick validation that they are allowing u 2 control them by being obnoxious. I gotta say that nobody does appriciate any futher contributions from someone who is going 2 go out of their way 2 annoy others by disagreeing with everything everybody says. Think about it, we are here 4 a common cause. Differences of opinion are bound 2 happen. But if u are coming here and everyone is annoyed by your presence, a mature person has 2 ask themselves if this is really the place 4 them 2 be. If u are a member of this board who visits at least twice a week and u never get an occational e-mail, PM, or IM from other members...r u really building relationships with anyone? Just some ?uestions that should be raised. Especially when a team of moderators is getting fed up with a few people.

Congratz! If i would have maintained my last relationship a lil' better...i would have probably been married this year. Let me get sappy 4 a moment and say i can only imagin what u are goin' thru'....it's been over 2 years i 4get how it feels 2 be on a constant high like that.

Brigadoon (1992) I'm doing this musical...can't really get in2 the music...but i guess i have 2.

This is hilarious...they better air it. Grocery and Wal-Mart workings didn't flip out when they released the movie Employee of the Month....food chains didn't flip when they released the movie Waiting. It's time some rich, stuck up, white guys who own these restaurants get a sense of humor. -------------- Restaurants Blast Kevin Federline 'Burger' Ad Trade Group Calls Super Bowl Commercial 'Denigrating' Reuters NEW YORK (Jan. 24) - A leading restaurant association has called for the cancellation of a TV commercial featuring Britney Spears ' estranged husband, Kevin Federline, as a failed rap star working in a fast-food eatery. In a 30-second ad for Nationwide Insurance, Federline is shown dreaming he is a rap star but then snaps out of it to face reality -- he's working at a burger restaurant. The commercial is due to be aired during the National Football League's Super Bowl championship on Sunday, February 4, advertising's biggest televised sporting event of the year. Last year's Super Bowl drew more than 90 million viewers. But the National Restaurant Association's Chief Executive Steven Anderson has written to Nationwide saying the ad leaves the impression that working in a restaurant is demeaning and unpleasant and asking the commercial to be dumped. "An ad such as this would be a strong and a direct insult to the 12.8 million Americans who work in the restaurant industry," wrote Anderson, head of the association that represents 935,000 U.S. restaurants. "Developing creative concepts that accomplish the marketing strategies for a product should not require denigrating another industry." But Nationwide spokesman Eric Hardgrove defended the ad, called "Life Comes At You Fast," saying it was designed to be entertaining with Federline poking fun at himself while reinforcing the company's role of meeting the financial needs of consumers. Spears, 25, filed for divorce from aspiring rapper Federline, 28, last November. Federline's debut album has since failed to make a dent in the pop charts, and a number of dates on his U.S. tour were canceled due to lack of interest. "In this commercial we are using a humorous characterization of Kevin Federline's life to encourage others to prepare for sudden changes in their lives," Hardgrove said in a statement. "The intent of the ad isn't to offend or insult the many fine individuals who work in the restaurant industry. The focus of the ad is the element of surprise, not the setting of a fast food restaurant."

Singer Brandy Involved in Fatal Car Crash By STEVE GORMAN, Reuters LOS ANGELES (Jan. 25) - Actress and R&B singer Brandy was involved in a fatal, four-car accident on a Los Angeles freeway last month that started when her sports utility vehicle hit another car, police said on Wednesday. The 27-year-old former star of the TV comedy "Moesha" was not injured, but the driver of the car she rear-ended with her Land Rover in the December 30 crash died, according to the California Highway Patrol. The victim was identified as Awatef Aboudihaj, 38, a married mother of one, said CHP spokesman Leland Tang. No charges or arrests have been made in connection with the accident, and no formal determination has been made as to what caused the crash, which was first reported by the celebrity news Web site TMZ.com. A statement issued by Brandy's publicist said: "She wishes to publicly express her condolences to the family of the deceased" and asks the media to "respect the privacy of everyone involved at this time." The singer-actress, whose full name is Brandy Norwood, was alone in her vehicle and no alcohol or drugs were involved, Tang said. A Statement From Brandy's Publicist "Brandy was involved in a car accident December 30, 2006 in Los Angeles where there was a fatality. She wished to publicly express her condolences to the family of the deceased. Brandy asks that you respect the privacy of everyone involved at this time." Brandy told officers she was driving at about 65 miles per hour before the crash occurred. "We've impounded all four vehicles, and the outcome of the mechanical inspection is coming to us today or tomorrow," Tang said. "Barring any mechanical difficulties on Brandy's part ... then there's the very high probability that she is the party most at fault or the contributing party." Brandy, a native of Mississippi, burst on the recording scene with her self-tilted debut album in 1994, launching such hits as "I Wanna Be Down," "Baby" and "Brokenhearted." Her fourth album, "Afrodisiac," was released in 2004 with a lead single, "Talk About Our Love," produced by Kanye West . Last year, she served on the panel of judges for NBC's summer show "America's Got Talent."

Feds Charge Ex-Deputy in 1964 Slayings By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS and LARA JAKES JORDAN AP WASHINGTON (Jan. 25) - A former Mississippi sheriff's deputy was arrested Wednesday in the 1964 slayings of two black teenagers who were long believed to have been kidnapped and killed by the Ku Klux Klan. The former deputy, James Ford Seale, of Roxie, Miss., was named in a federal indictment charging him in connection with the teens' disappearance and deaths while they were hitchhiking in a rural area of the state east of Natchez. Until recently, Seale was thought to be dead, and the investigation into the two deaths had long been abandoned. Seale was taken into custody Wednesday afternoon and was taken to Jackson, Miss. He is expected to be arraigned Thursday on kidnapping charges stemming from the May 1964 disappearances of Henry Dee and Charles Moore. Two months after Dee and Moore disappeared, their bodies were pulled from the Mississippi River as part of an FBI-led search for three civil rights workers reported missing about 160 miles away near Philadelphia, Miss. Federal authorities, who were focusing on the more famous "Mississippi Burning" killings, turned the Dee and Moore case over to local authorities. A short time later, a justice of the peace called an end to the inquiry without presenting evidence to a grand jury. Moore's older brother, Thomas Moore, worked with Canadian film producer David Ridgen for two years piecing together what happened in 1964. The effort led them to a brief confrontation with Seale, a former sheriff's deputy who had been reported as deceased in several newspapers. In 2000, the Justice Department's civil rights unit reopened the case, the most recent in a string of civil rights-era killings that have been revived by state and federal authorities in the South. Moore and Ridgen, along with Dunn Lampton, the U.S. attorney who has led the investigation in Mississippi, were traveling to Washington for a news conference as early as Thursday with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and FBI Director Robert Mueller. Reached by cell phone on his way to the capital, a crying Thomas Moore said: "It's been a long journey, and I don't guess it could have happened any other way." "I hope and I believe that Charles Moore and Henry Dee are beginning to smile," Thomas Moore said. "I'm hoping Charles Moore is saying I didn't let him down." Seale and another man, Charles Marcus Edwards, were first arrested in the case in November 1964, four months after the bodies were found. At the time, Seale was asked if he knew why he had been arrested. The FBI said he responded: "Yes, but I'm not going to admit it. You are going to have to prove it." Both men were reputed members of the Ku Klux Klan, which at the time was cracking down on a rumored gunrunning operation by black Muslims in rural Franklin County., Miss. On May 2, 1964, according to federal documents, Seale offered the two black hitchhikers a ride, then drove them to a wooded area where he and others whipped them with bean poles. An informant later told the FBI that the Klansmen took the unconscious men to the river, lashed their bodies to a Jeep engine block and old railroad rails and dumped them, still breathing, into the muddy water. Edwards initially told federal investigators the two black men were alive when he left them and he had nothing to do with any murders, according to FBI documents. He later denied making the statement. Edwards was not expected to face any new charges, although authorities did not immediately say why. The case is the latest long-dormat civil rights-era killing to be reopened decades after the crimes were committed. The others include: -A 1994 conviction in Mississippi of Byron de la Beckwith for the 1963 sniper killing of NAACP leader Medgar Evers. -Bobby Frank Cherry, convicted in 2002 in Alabama of killing four black girls in the bombing of a Birmingham church in 1963. In 2001, Thomas Blanton was convicted in the church bombing. -Edgar Ray Killen, an 80-year-old former Klansman, convicted of manslaughter in June 2005 in the deaths of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, the three civil rights workers who were killed near Philadelphia in 1964. Associated Press writer Allen G. Breed in Raleigh, N.C., contributed to this story.
