I think alot of people are sick of G-Unit...so i expect their sales 2 continuely fall. 50 will probably be the one 2 stand the longest...but that crap will crumble soon. I wanna Clipse' new one real bad even tho' they aren't typically my steelo. I like the albums from MJB, Justin Timberlake, Tamia, Snoop Dogg, Lupe, Lyfe, Monica, Rhianna, Mary Mary, PCD, Robin Thicke, Kirk Franklin, JoJo, Beyonce, Fergie, John Legend, Christina, + Nelly Furtadao.

Yeah, i gotta get this. I have them as friends on my myspace but i haven't checked their page in 4ever. I need 2 school myself quick!!

I got Brian McKnight's 1st CD when i waz 12 or 13. It waz a bit 2 mature 4 me...but i still loved it. Over the years i've grown with his stuff. His music is amazing. His lyrics speak 2 me in a big way. He's definitly one of my favorite artists. Ten is a great album...i'll be vibing with it for awhile.

I found a super cheap used copy of the album. With all those guests like Mary J. Blige, Jamie Foxx, Christina Aguilera, and so on...i had 2 get it for that price. I do think his stuff is watered down and never 2 be taken for anything serious...but i do like about half of the songs. Most of the lyrics are very basic...but this time around he's not really trying 2 be hard or as flashy. So i do agree that there are some good songs on it. But i really don't like this song. Puffy is awful and the beat is crappy (sorry, Jus Blaze)...but Christina rocks it.

Sorry, that waz me, the board has been making me log in everytime i visit it.

Sorry, that last reply waz mine.

LIONEL RICHIE + ENRIQUE IGLESIAS - To Love A Woman The Definitive Collection (2003)

Nothing really. I just put it out there on a few albums and DVDs i wanted. I got some big purchases coming up this year (a new car, my own place, etc) and there's really nothing special that has come 2 mind. With how i'm being overworked, i'm just looking forward 2 getting the holidays over with. That way i can not be so busy at work, get some rest, see my friends and family again. I'm really having 2 work hard this year for it 2 feel like the holiday season...so gifts aren't exactly the 1st thing on my mind.

I asked for the album for Christmas. It's hard 2 wait cuz Circuit City has it on sale for only $7.99 this week.

Sadly i've never seen the "Party Starter" video. I have seen Puffy's new video tho.' The only thing that redeems the song and the video is Christina Aguilera.

Over the years i've seen stuff plaques like this and i've always wanted 2 get them...but never did. Maybe one day. Alot of the times the price is kinda crazy.

Opps...that waz me. Turntable, why do u say something is stupid, nothing special or wack...and say it's dope at the same time. Wack is wack...and Jim Jones is wack.

Alot of times with situations like this...if u have 2 bend over backwards 2 much, u just need 2 let it go. Seems like u'd be trying 2 hard. Instead of forcing things...let things fall into (or not fall into) place.

BRIAN MCKNIGHT - Holdin' On (Missin' You) Ten (2006) This album is dope. Definitly for the mature R-N-B fan. B. McKnight is back!!

This news saddens me. It seems like so many people i know are facing adversity. I myself and probably stressing more than i ever have in life. I have 2 fuel up my soul every day with the right music and reading the right books just 2 keep pressing on. My prayers go out 2 her Ted.

I don't think he came across 2 bitter. I mean, that's his story and having one of your best friends move one without u has gotta sting. At the same time, as a man of God, it's way past time 2 move on. I wish the best 4 him and really wish he'd do something musically in a big way. I've talked 2 him quite a few times (he's even signed my "He's The DJ..." insert and sent it back 2 me and left me a voice mail on my cell. He's good people, he's just stuck in the shadow of the early JJ+FP years.

Cray-Zee!! MJB is probably the only artist there who deserved that kinda recognition. They had 2 group Hip-Hop/R-N-B 2gether simply becuz most of the rappers nominated didn't have any talent. It would be just wrong 2 give someone like Young Joc an award even tho' u hear his awful songs on the radio non-stop. MJB has the whole package...the voice, the activism, the talent, the songwriting, the class, the struggle, ...the total package.

I think this post is a stupid excuse 4 stupid people 2 say stupid things that they would otherwise be criticized for but freely say it becuz they won't be held accountable for saying something negative, ignorant, and/or stupid.

Chamillionaire is one of the few emcees who has gotten commerical success that deserves it. When comparing him 2 his peers, he's far ahead of the compitition. I only hear 2 of his singles, but i liked them and planned on getting his album sometime. When i look at this tracklisting...it looks like garbage. After i pick up the 1st one...i wouldn't pick this one up with out hearing it thru' 1st. Way 2 many guest spots...and most of the guest artists have little to no talent.

JJ+FP - Just Kickin' It Code Red (1993)

Forgive me for the very generalizing reply...but...It's time AIDS be brought 2 the forefront again. In the early 90's there were songs, TV specials, music, and many foundations based on the finding a cure and helping AIDS victims . By the time the mid-90's hit, it waz quickly disappearing. These days, it's rarely brought up at all. The world needs 2 be aware of this disease and the people suffering from it. Things need to change. At the same time, people need 2 be accountable for their actions. We know how 2 get it...so why is it spreading the way it is?!?

This post is kinda inspired by some of Bigted's recent posts... For people who love real music, u probably identify with the lyrics and what the artist is saying...reguardless of the artist, music genre, or it's airplay. When u find the right song, u find the perfect outlet to help organize your thoughts or clear your head. Well, about 3 years ago, i waz going thru' a really rough time and created a mixtape 2 help me clear my head and get my thoughts right. I actually organized it 2 help me go from a hopeless kind of attitude 2 a place of peace and patience. I just wanted 2 share this tracklisting for those who might identify with music in a similar way i do. I'm including the albums u can find the trax on for those who are interested in tracking them down...again, this is off the top of my head, but i think my memory is good. THE RAIN - MiXtAPe 1. DMX - Sometimes (Intro) (The Great Depression 2001) 2. 2PAC - F*** The World (Me Against The World 1995) 3. LL COOL J - Can't Think (The G.O.A.T. 2000) 4. BLACK EYED PEAS - Anxiety (Elephunk 2003) 5. SNOW - That's My Life (Two Hands Clapping 2002) 6. 2PAC - So Many Tears (Me Against The World 1995) 7. DMX - Slippin' (Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood 1998) 8. GANG STARR + SNOOP DOGG - In This Life... (The Ownerz 2003) 9. A TRIBE CALLED QUEST - Stressed Out (Phife Dog Version) (Beats, Rhymes, + Life...remix on CD Single 1996) 10. DE LA SOUL - Trying People (AOI: Bionix 2002) 11. BIZZY BONE - Nobody Can Stop Me (Heaven's Movie 1998) 12. MC HAMMER - Where Will I Go (Active Duty 2001) 13.

GANG STARR - Moment of Truth (Moment of Truth 1998) 17. MC HAMMER - Keep On (V: Inside Out 1995) 19. SPEECH - Movin' On (Hoopla 1998) EDIT By Big Ted: Now I think we should use this post to talk about what songs we specifically like, I was thinking about using that in the Prayer and Support Circle but I figure it'd probably make more sense to put here, really we could talk about songs we really feel that got us through tough times, I'm gonna make a post now talking about that now, just post about a song that got you through a tough experience if you want to

The Cast of RENT - Seasons of Love (L.E.X. Theatrical Club Mix) Seasons of Love CD Single (2005)

Ted, i'm feeling u...just in different ways. Life just seems hard. I normally don't let things stress me, and while i won't get in2 those things...i am stressed right now. And alot of little things are not going my way. I know that 4 me personally, i just gotta maintain for about 3 weeks or so. It has nothing 2 do with the new year, but it looks like 2007 is gonna be a year of restoration 4 me. Alot of big things are gonna happen (along with alot of hard work). Until the new year comes, i just gotta hold out so that i can start off on a good foot. Even in these times when i feel stressed and in over my head, i look at this world and realized that i am blessed and better off than alot of people. I don't know if any of that applies 2 u, but if it does, there's my take on things during those darker times. I figure that if i'm dealing with hard times, i can choose 2 complain and be down...or keep my head up and fight thru' them and ultimatly keep myself positive. Instead of looking at how big your problems are...look at how big your God is. On a random note, one of my co-workers has a baby cousin who passed away this evening. I don't have any details, but i'm sure the family could use some "knee mail."

Yeah, by bidding at the end with your maximum amount, it'll allow less time for people 2 outbid u...and make it so that u personally don't blow your budget simply cuz u have more time 2 bid...ha ha. There were times when i'd start bidding at the last minute with my highest bid...and then freak when i wazn't the highest bidder...so i'd keep going higher in hopes of winning it even tho' it waz outta my budget...ha ha.
