2PAC + OUTLAWZ - In His Own Words In His Own Words (1998)

I been wanting 2 reply 2 this post but haven't had tyme...but after seeing that post about him considering hanging up the mic, i had 2 reply. I don't really think he needs his next album 2 be HUGE...but at the same time, who doesn't want their music or art recognized?!? Who doesn't want their favorite emcee blowin' up again and again? As an artist, when u feel that u are being overlooked, it can discourage u and make u not want 2 create anymore...especially when everthing is going against u. For some, it adds fuel 2 the fire and make them come back harder. The commerical side of Hip-Hop and Rap has been garbage for a long time. I don't even like listening 2 so-called Hip-Hop radio anymore. And i don't wanna have 2 dig for music. Back in the 80's and 90's...the good music waz easily accesable and often sucessful. That's rarely the case anymore. None of these cats are talented, smart, or even likeable. FP is in a class of his own 4 the most part. If FP waz content with Gold-selling albums and moderatly sucessful singles, he could keep going on. But the music he loves has changed...so his motivation is probably weaker. L+F waz a dope album and while it did alright...it deserved much more. His next album doesn't need 2 be HUGE, but it would be better for us and FP if it did. Either way, FP is Hip-Hop and as always, he's also kept his ear 2 the streets and continued writing even when he 1st 'retired.' If he does it again, he'll make a big comeback like he did with Big Willie Style.

I can't see him stepping away from the mic yet. Reguardless of what he might say in an interview. This is a scary thought tho.'

Levert - Cassanova The Big Throwdown (1987) R.I.P. Gerald

More of AJ's famed "Bringing positive vybes in this negative world" :shake: I wazn't seriously trying 2 bring anyone down...maybe i should have used the word "silly" instead. I don't think anyone was offended or thought i waz trying 2 be offensive by saying that....OR that this post is 2 be taken seriously. :sick:

Man, i haven't followed gaming since the Super Nintendo...ha ha. Even if i had tyme for it, i'm not sure if i'd be that interested. But i'm sure one of my friends will get it and i'll end up getting 2 trying it out and be depressed on how my gaming skillz have declined over the last decade. The gaming companies know that they are gonna sell out ASAP...why don't they just push out more?!? All this sleeping on the sidewalks stuff just seems stupid 2 me.

U guys would have better newz than us on this. So that makes me feel better for MJ. The crowd booing for something like that is a bit harsh.

Jackson Comeback Gig 'Embarrassing' LONDON (Nov. 16) - British media rounded on Michael Jackson and the organisers of an awards ceremony where he appeared late on Wednesday, calling his first public performance since his child molestation trial last year "shambolic." 'Jackson the Flop' Far from the full rendition of mega-hit "Thriller" the world's media had been led to expect at the World Music Awards in London, Jackson instead sang the chorus line of his charity single "We Are the World" with a choir of children. When he reached for the higher notes he appeared to struggle, and mid-song the sound was inexplicably cut. U.S. star Chris Brown sang "Thriller" instead, even wearing the familiar red leather jacket of the original video, but he failed to placate a crowd who had not come to see a stand-in. "Jackson the flop" was the Daily Mail's headline in its online version on Thursday, describing what many had hoped would be a triumphant comeback. The review, which accused Jackson of not trying, added: "It was enough to make you cry. And not in a good way. "However many times he told us he loved us (and there were many) -- and however much we yelled and screamed and pinched ourselves, his performance was a shambles." The mass-circulation Mirror called the event an "embarrassing comeback" and focused on those in the crowd who booed at seeing Jackson sing just four lines of music. Its rival The Sun, Britain's top selling daily, gave 48-year-old Jackson just one star out of five for his evening's work and dwelt on Jackson's "strange" appearance. BADLY ORGANISED Organisers of the annual World Music Awards were also criticised for a chaotic evening. Besides sound problems during Jackson's performance, around half the winners of main awards did not show up to receive them, hostess Lindsay Lohan made only a few fleeting remarks and there were long waits between each performance. The organisers were not immediately available for comment. How the show affects Jackson's bid to revive a flagging career in music remains to be seen. For years he has been better known for his changing appearance and lurid accusations against him than for his songs. Since being acquitted of child molestation charges at a trial that ended in June 2005, he has lived the life of a recluse, dividing his time between Bahrain and Ireland. But despite losing his crown as King of Pop long ago, he still generates hysteria among loyal fans wherever he goes. Hundreds of well-wishers waited outside Wednesday's event for a glimpse of the most successful entertainer of all time. Inside, they chanted "Michael!" throughout the evening and booed some of the acts who came before him. One banner held up in the crowd read "The King is Back." Judging by the wider reaction to Wednesday's performance, he still has a long way to go.

It's a fun silly movie. Nobody waz expecting something amazing with this movie. I think the story and inventions (as well as the CG) waz pretty creative. Alot of the lines were funny. I've never had a problem with this movie...just don't take it 2 seriously.

Thanx 4 posting!

I think that after yet another Jay-Z post waz made, the board just shut down.

Jim Jones is garbage...Jay-Z is a fool. Who cares.

This is crap. I'm not excited about this at all. Here's the only producers who should get 2 remix 2Pac's music...Johnny J, Soulpower, Shock-G, Eazy Mo Bee, Warren G...period. The only emcees and singers who should be able 2 lay vocals 4 a 'new' album are artists who actually knew him when he waz alive. This is just embarassing for anybody who is down with 2Pac. T.I. Ashanti, Young Buck, Lil Scrappy, Ludacris and most of those other artists shouldn't even be allowed in a studio while a 2Pac song is being mixed. It's messed up that Left Eye actually laid vocals after 2Pac died for "Untouchable" and that they've doctored it AGAIN. I'm contimplating not even buying this album....but my love 2 'Pac would never actually let me do that.

Thanx 4 posting those!! I'm so hyped about this new album.

I want...and i will have.

U ain't the only one. I LOVE BLACKstreet. I read this last nite by didn't reply. It's good 2 see Chauncey comin' out on the solo tip...and that Teddy is down for the ride. Their situation is kinda messed up but they are getting past it. I remember hearing a rumor that Teddy Riley waz retiring so i'm glad 2 hear he's still at it. Can't wait 4 this album...and hopefully more BLACKstreet down the road.

Yeah, i heard that joint with Mary J. Blige on the radio the other day. I really like that one. That's the kinda stuff i wanna hear from him...not the "other" stuff.

I STILL haven't gotten this album. I waz actually thinking about getting it 2day (b4 i even saw this post) but i never left the house. After seeing alot of the names that have been in the post titles recently, i'm glad 2 see KRS-One's name up here. I listened 2 his 2nd solo album just yesterday. Definitly a real talent in Hip-Hop.

Yeah, i lock the door when i shower and everything...even when i'm home alone. I remember one time a girl i knew who i didn't exactly want 2 be around came over when i waz in the shower. I waz thankful i had the door locked that day. I also leave my windows down in my car sometimes...but lock the door.

This isn't exactly strictly JJ+FP related...but i wanted this post 2 get as much attention as possible. Those of u who have cellphone that won't get charged long distance. Give the station a call for Kel Spencer's "The Building." It's his official 1st single if u overlook 2003's "The Streets Know That." --------------------------------------------- KEL: Wud up, playa.... FYI- 88.9 WEAA starts playing "The Building" 2maro Night at midnight. 443.885.2018 is the request number... if I get a certain amount of love on there, 92Q will pick it up... AJ: cool...i don't get that station...but since i live in MD i'll be sure 2 request it AJ: i saw the bulletin KEL: Cool, Good looking out... AJ: of course

JOHN MAYER - Belief Continuum (2006)

AALIYAH - Old School Age Ain't Nothing But A Number (1994)

I thought all those songs were garbage. I liked trax he had guest spots on back in the day. When it comes 2 singles, i only ever really got in 2 "Ain't No..., Sunshine, City Is Mine, One In A Million, Bonnie + Clyde '03, Excuse Me Miss, and Girls... And looking back on those trax, they all feature other artists that i like (Foxy Brown, Babyface, BLACKstreet, DJ Premier, Beyonce, Pharrell, Biz Markie). It's all different tastes tho.' Neither of them are really my style, but i would lean alot more 2 Cam'ron if i had 2 chose between the 2.
