Very cool...i can't wait. I think Wycelf's albums got better and better (tho' i never picked up his last one). The Carnival has some good songs, but as a whole album, i favor the ones that came later. However, i think it's cool that he'll return 2 the vibe of his solo album that nearly 10 years old. Wyclef has needed 2 do something more mainstream 4 awhile now. Someone needs 2 knock that T.I., Young Dro, Young Joc trash off the radio. I still can't wait 4 that Fugee's album tho.' It's funny how Jerry Wonder says they are all busy...but other than Wyclef's work with Shakira...they haven't put and solo stuff out in forever.

I'm ignoring the red flag that has popped up in my head 2 share my side on this whole thing. 1st off...only they know what went down. So only they know where the lies and truths stand. 2ndly, only God can judge them. But i will say this. R. Kelly has a rumored history of similar situations like this. So he really needs 2 get his addictions taken care of and straighten his life out. He owes that 2 himself. Now the girl...she needs 2 stop acting like such a victim. 85% of females hanging out with a celeb are either trying 2 get with them (in some kinda way) or they are fully aware that some male celebs' main goal is 2 have a one night stand with party-ready fans. The girls looking for a "good time" are always dressing older, looking sexy, and ready 4 whatever goes down. Overall, they are both guilty and need 2 do some soul searching. After all the media, invasion of privacy, money wasted...the case will go nowhere. The only thing set 2 happen is whether Kelly is gonna do jail time. And lets be real, it's been like 5 years. Either they've learned their lessons or they haven't. The case isn't going 2 do anything but draw negative attention 2 something that happened years ago.

Jazzy isn't really throwing up a "westside" sign...his face is the only real part of it. The rest is animated. That sign just looks good with them of the pic.

HA HA!! That is hilarious!!!

R. Kelly Sued Over Song, Alleged Beating AP CHICAGO (Oct. 5) - A man describing himself as a "mentor and guide" to R. Kelly since he was a teenager is suing the singer, alleging that he attacked him and reneged on an agreement to pay him for a song idea. In a suit filed Wednesday, Henry "Love" Vaughn says he's worked for Kelly off and on for years. The suit says that in February he went to Kelly's suburban Olympia Fields home to watch a basketball game and that one of Kelly's other employees became "verbally abusive." It goes on to allege that Kelly, 39, and others dragged him to the basement, attacked him and held him against his will. Olympia Fields police investigated the alleged attack but decided not to file charges, said Cmdr. James Keith. The suit also alleges that the song "Step in the Name of Love" was Vaughn's brainchild and that Kelly reneged on a promise to give him half the proceeds from the song. In a statement Wednesday, a representative of Kelly's characterizes Vaughn as a "disgruntled former employee and hanger-on" who is using the lawsuit to extort money from the singer. "In fact, his lawsuit is a pathetic collection of half-truths, distortions, and outright lies," the statement says. Vaughn's suit seeks compensatory damages, punitive damages and court costs.

SNOOP DOGG - Can I Get A Flicc Withcu R+G: Rhythm + Gangsta - The Masterpiece (2004)

Ha ha!! No...no u don't. My friend loves that movie and made me watch it last year. I had high hopes but it waz as average as it gets.

NICOLE C. MULLEN - Butterfly (self-titled) (2000)

He's had a rough year. I pray he takes this all as a lesson and fixes up his life...and he's music.

When something is fake...it comes across that way. When it's legit, it feels right. I see Beyonce's "Ring The Alarm" video and is steems forced or out of her element. It's not bad, it's just not her typical style...but for those few videos where Ashanti is tryna be hard...it comes off amusingly fake. I love her songs like Happy, Baby..., and Rock Wit U...but when she ties 2 be something she's not...it's not even worth listening. For me, that's how i look at music in general. If it's fake, i can't stand listening 2 it. But i tend 2 gravitate towards real artists. Real recognize real...that's all i gotta say. Notice that grown and mature people tend 2 like true artists, while young people still growing, finding themselves, and who are impressional like alot of garbage that's fake.

JANET JACKSON - Where Are You Now (Nellee Hooper Mix) Janet.Remixed (Holland Import) (1995)

I agree with u Wes. Alot of people say they are spiritual and that u don't have 2 go 2 church or read the Bible 2 be spiritual...which is partly true. But without that knowlege, that refresher course, u are stagnet and staying in the same place...not fulfilling your destiny or growing. Back on topic tho'...the people in this entourages are mostly idiots. Snoop got in trouble cuz of the same situation. U have these untalented, immature fools who get caught up in the hype of their friend or boss who is famous. Then they think they are untouchable and famous leading 2 idiot attitudes and actions. Next thing u know, fights are starting at airports and chairs are thrown during a show and their famous counter parts are getting charged and blaimed with it...not 2 mention getting a stain on their name.

Ashanti is so un-gangsta...whenever she, or any female tries 2 be more than they are...it's just rediculous and unattractive. Fake = ugly.

KRIS KROSS - I'm Real (Butcher Remix) I'm Real (CD Single) (1993)

MONICA - My Everything The Makings of Me (2006) Forget the crappy 1st single...this album is really good! It's everything most "mainstream but not 2 mainstream" R-N-B albums should have been the past 2 years.

DMX didn't throw the chair, but of course he's catching the flack 4 it. He's not resonsible for his friend's idiotic actions. I'm not saying it's cool that he jumped off the stage 2 go after the sound man tho'...ha ha. That makes me laugh tho.' I have Def Jam's "Survival of The Fittest" live album where DMX is yelling about turning his mic up and after the sound guy doesn't get it right at 1st, he's like "Don't make me come up there and beat the $#!) outta u, dog." And the waterbottle thing sounds like it waz written outta context. That's what they do at shows, they throw waterbottles out in the crowd. Not 2 injur people...but as a favor. When i saw JJ+FP, they threw waterbottles out in the crowd.

Good point...but i still feel that he's just one of those people that the media is out 2 get. The media is just like a huge parasite trying 2 drain the life out of certain artists and they'll stop at nothing 2 let them appear normal or let them carry a career.

Actually, if i remember correctly, Justin made a public apology shortly after it happened and Janet didn't say anything about it...which is why Justin waz allowed 2 present at an award show a few weeks later and why Janet wazn't.

2Pac fans need 2 pick up the current XXL magazine with 2Pac on the cover. While i still have some of it 2 read, it's timeline on "everything 2Pac" from his death til now is excellent. It brought 2 my attention a few things i had missed. Anyways, on page 112, in the 1997 part of the timeline, it features that JJ+FP picture from the Grammys where FP is accepting his win for "MIB." The caption next to it says... 1997 February 25: In his acceptance speech after winning a Best Rap Solo Performance Grammy for "Men In Black" (a catchy ode to "galaxy defenders") Will Smith dedicates the award to the memory of Tupac and Biggie."

Updated:2006-10-03 Judge Orders Bobby Brown Arrested CANTON, Mass. (Oct. 3) - Being Bobby Brown ain't easy these days. A family judge ordered the singer arrested if he steps foot in Massachusetts after Brown failed to show for a hearing Monday over delinquent child support payments. Brown's attorney said it's a "very difficult time" for Brown, 37, whose tumultuous marriage to Whitney Houston is coming to an end. She filed for a legal separation earlier this month. "Whether or not he's going through a divorce doesn't negate the fact that he still owes child support relative to his two children that he had prior to his marriage," said Norfolk Probate and Family Court Judge Paula Carey. Kim Ward, of Stoughton, the mother of two of Brown's children, says Brown owes two months' support, or $11,000. In June 2004, Brown was sentenced to 90 days in prison for missing three months of payments. That sentence was immediately suspended after Brown made back payments totaling about $15,000. Brown's attorney, Phaedra Parks, would not say where Brown, a Boston native, is currently living. "It's just a very difficult time for him, as you can well imagine," said Parks, an Atlanta-based entertainment lawyer. "The media is very aware of this very public divorce that's going on right now. It's unfortunate we find ourselves back in Boston on this matter." Brown gained fame as a member of New Edition and for his 1988 hit solo album.

Yeah, i'm with Max. I remember an interview where FP talked about how he believes that drugs were purposly introduced 2 the ghettos by racist polititions 2 wipe out the people living in them. Now whether some people believe that or not, at least FP talked about the topic in a mature and knowlegable mannor. He talked about the research he had done on it. Even if someone disagreed with his statement, they probably wouldn't insult his intellegence becuz of how he spoke on it. That's what Kanye is missing. Unless u talk intellegent, have a back up reason for what u say, u come off with no credibility. "George Bush doesn't care about black people" is just a stupid statement. I could say 'George Bush doesn't care about white people' and neither statement is more powerful than the other. Kanye doesn't come off as a very intellegent person 2 me and when he said that, he looked like a fool...period. Even people who agree with him probably shook their head like "what an idiot...he's not furthering anything 2 result in change. Besides, holding 1 person responsable for something hundreds of people would take 2 work on is just rediculous. I hate political topics...so i'm signing off 4 this post.

Very cool...when it comes 2 DJ's...Jazzy Jeff, Jam Master Jay, Grandmaster Flash, and DJ Premier are my favs...and also the top DJ's ever in my opinion.
