I never got in2 the calenders. FP has never done an official one. All the ones i've ever seen were unathorized ones that were full of condid pix that tend 2 look grainy. I figured all the pix would be nothing but him at a suit walking in2 an award show or movie premier. Are they really worth checking out?

BABYFACE + GHOSTFACE KILLAH - This Is For The Lover In You (Puffy's Face To Face Remix) The Other Side of Cool (1996/2005) And no, i haven't checked Govenor yet.

CHRIS BROWN - Say Goodbye Step Up Soundtrack (2006) Half of this soundtrack is worth a listen.

Read interviews...u'll see that music is his life. That's all i gotta say.

BABYFACE, MARIAH CAREY + PLAYA - Everytime I Close My Eyes (Timbaland Remix) The Other Side of Cool (2005) For all the Babyface fans out there, there is a budget remix compilation by Babyface called "The Other Side of Cool" which spans most of his career. Wal-Mart had it for only $5.99.

Thanx 4 posting this. At least there is something coming out 2 distract attention away from this G-Unit infested album. It just goes 2 show he's not focusing on this album 2 much...just trying 2 get off the label formally known as Def Jam.

This waz probably one of those presents that got FP in money troubles back in the day...ha ha.

Wow, very cool!

2Pac made music that all ages, races, and cultures can relate 2. Even tho' some people only see him the way the media portrayed him, he still has a huge following and as long as his legacy is handled right, he'll be around 4ever. I mean, look at Elvis, his music didn't even mean anything. Just rock music, music 2 dance 2, and a handful of love songs that people could identify with. And his music will never die. 2Pac talked about life, the hood, and the world. Most of his lyrics are timeless, and that's why genorations 2 come will be feeling his music.

Well, according 2 the new single "Bump This"...LL is letting G-Unit trash his music. The beat is okay for a mainstream track...but it's a sound that's been done. LL flows over the track as nice as he's always done, but he's let his rhymes slip a lil' lower 2 the grimier side of things. And even tho' he's not cussing on the track, he's like those idiots Lloyd Banks and Hot Rod cuss on the track. While a prefer Hip-Hop without all the explict lyrics, i don't mind it when it's not done just 2 get a sticker. I love The G.O.A.T....but this new album is scaring me.

I don't think they are similar at all. Todd Smith is like LL grown up and laidback. It may be just a lil' 2 comfortable and safe 4 him...but since The DEFinition came out so recently, i'm just happy 2 get an album so soon. Born To Reign is FP's experimental album. The only similarity that i think that albums have is that both of them are very unpressured on their lyrics. Compared to their other work, their lyrics just seem less inspired on these albums. LL's most experimental album would be Phenomenon. He's got the glossly, late 90's party jams, the raw street stuff, the R-N-B love trax, and the deeper introspective stuff. While the sound of the album is good, it's just peiced 2gether in a weird way....but i love that album.

I hate 2 bust everyone's bubble, but this song actually got leaked back in 2002 or 2003. There is an unathorized MJ CD out there that included this song and that 9/11 track (as well as others) that got put out around 2003 if i remember correctly.

U are partly correct...i can't lie. I don't really like Cassidy. But at the same time, Hip-Hop is about being real. When it's not real, it comes across that way, ending up as weak material. Alot of rappers do stuff like this these days for public relations or as part of probation. It's like Jadakiss' "Why." Not alot of fans bought in2 that super positive attempt at doing an introspective song. Many mature listeners thought that move fell flat on its' face.

JESSICA SIMPSON - I Belong To Me A Public Affair (Exclusive Version) (2006) Diane Warren proves once again she's one of the best song writers of all time.

Sounds intesting...but posse trax like this keep NOT getting released. So many have been recorded or organized over the past 5 years and only a few have come out...and none of them are really popular or well known. I think it's ignorant that people like Cassidy who have gun charges on them get 2 participate in stuff like this. Hypicritical and fake if u ask me.

MARVIN GAYE - Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Hollar) Four Brothers Soundtrack (2005) Such a dope soundtrack...

I kinda liked Jay-Z back in 1996. By 1999, i waz done with him (outside of a single here or there). If he stretches his subject matter and has beats that are on the level of "Girls..." and "03' Bonnie + Clyde," i'll give him a chance again. And this whole "retirement" is just a joke. Who in their right mind even 2nd guessed it. Anyone claiming retirement after Too Short simply isn't gonna be taken seriously...look at FP, Mase, DMX. The only 'retirement' i'm worried about is Shock-G.

Bobby Brown has been touring with New Edition againg and has a new album in the works. And reguardless of how much Whitney's last album got looked over, her talent is undeniable. They'll be fine and i think both of their careers are gonna still do respectable things. This is the 2000's...since when did a drinking problem or drug problem ruin a career?!

Kelly's 2nd album is gonna be bumped back....WAAAAAY back since she just got pregnant. I heard a song off her new album and it actually wasn't very good. Her solo album is the best of the DC solo albums so far so i'm looking forward 2 her's the most.

Gunman Kills One, Wounds 19 at Montreal College Assailant in Trench Coat Shot Dead by Police By PHIL COUVRETTE, AP MONTREAL (Sept. 14) - A young man in a black trench coat and a mohawk haircut opened fire Wednesday at a Montreal college, slaying a woman and wounding at least 19 other people before police shot and killed him, witnesses and authorities said. Police dismissed suggestions that terrorism played a role in the lunch-hour attack at downtown Dawson College, where scores of panicked students fled into the streets after the shooting began. Some had clothes stained with blood; others cried and clung to each other. Two nearby shopping centers and a daycare center also were evacuated and subway service was disrupted. "I was terrified. The guy was shooting at people randomly. He didn't care, he was just shooting at everybody," said student Devansh Smri Vastava. "There were cops firing. It was so crazy." Police said the 25-year-old attacker had a rapid-fire rifle and two other weapons, which they did not further describe. Witnesses said he started firing outside the college before walking in the front door. Much of the shooting was in the second-floor cafeteria, where students dropped to the floor and lay in terror. At times the gunman hid behind vending machines before emerging to take aim _ at one point at a teenager who tried to photograph him with his cell phone. Teachers ran through the halls, telling everyone to get out of the building. Montreal Police Chief Yvan Delorme said the attacker was shooting haphazardly at no target in particular, until he saw the police and took aim at them. Police hid behind a wall as they exchanged fire with the gunman, whose back was against a vending machine, said student Andrea Barone, who was in the cafeteria. He said the officers proceeded cautiously because many students were trapped around the assailant, who yelled "Get back! Get back!" every time an officer tried to move closer. Eventually, Barone said, the gunman went down in hail of gunfire. Delorme said some officers had already been at the school on an unrelated matter when the shooting erupted. He said reinforcements rushed to the scene and took part in the shooting. Police Sgt. Francois Dore said that the attacker was from the Montreal area, but he did not provide a name or any further details. Dore said his car was still at the school and police were searching his apartment. Although police initially suggested the gunman had killed himself, Delorme later said at a news conference that "based on current information, the suspect was killed by police." Police with guns drawn stood behind a police cruiser as a SWAT team swarmed the 12-acre campus. Delorme said later that "there was only one suspect on site, he was not assisted by someone else." Montreal General Hospital said 11 people were admitted, including eight who were in critical condition. Nine others were taken to two other hospitals. One young woman later died, a police official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the victim's next-of-kin had not yet been notified. "Today we have witnessed a cowardly and senseless act of violence unfold at Montreal's Dawson College," Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said. "Our primary concern right now is to ensure the safety and recovery of all those who were injured during this tragedy." The school was closed until Monday. The shooting recalled the 1999 attack at Columbine High School in Colorado, where two students wearing trench coats killed 13 people before committing suicide. Canada's worst mass shooting also happened in Montreal. Gunman Marc Lepine killed 14 women at the Ecole Polytechnic on Dec. 6, 1989, before shooting himself. The 25-year-old Lepine roamed the halls of the school firing a rifle, specifically targeting women whom he claimed in a suicide note had ruined his life. Nine other women and four men were wounded. That shooting spurred efforts for new gun laws and greater awareness of societal violence - particularly domestic abuse. Canada's tighter gun law was achieved mainly as the results of efforts by survivors and relatives of Lepine's victims. Dawson is more of a pre-college division than a traditional university. It was the first English-language institution in Quebec's network of university preparatory colleges when it was founded in 1969. With about 10,000 students, it is the largest college of general and vocational education, known by its French acronym CEGEP, in the province. Witnesses to Wednesday's attack said a man wearing a black trench coat entered the school cafeteria and opened fire without uttering a word. Derick Osei, 19, said he was walking down the stairs to the cafeteria when he saw a man with a gun. "He ... just started shooting up the place. I ran up to the third floor and I looked down and he was still shooting," Osei said. "He was hiding behind the vending machines and he came out with a gun and started pointing and pointed at me. So I ran up the stairs. I saw a girl get shot in the leg." Osei said people in the cafeteria were all lying on the floor. "I saw the gunman who was dressed in black and at that time he was shooting at people," student Michel Boyer told CTV. "I immediately hit the floor. It was probably one of the most frightening moments of my life." "He was shooting randomly, I didn't know what he was shooting at, but everyone was screaming, Get out of the building!" Boyer said. "Everybody was in tears. Everybody was so worried for their own safety for their own lives." Raamias Hernandez, 19, said he had just finished his class when he saw everyone start to run. He said the gunman was dressed in a black jacket and had a mohawk haircut. Hernandez said he started to take pictures with his cell phone with his friend and the suspect saw them and started shooting. Vastava said he saw a man in military fatigues with "a big rifle" storm the cafeteria. "He just started shooting at people," Vastava said, adding that he heard about 20 shots fired. He also said teachers ran through the halls telling students to get out. "We all ran upstairs." Barone, 17, said he was sitting in the cafeteria with his girlfriend and some friends when he heard some shots. "At first I thought it was a firecracker," he said. "Then I turned around and I saw him. He was dressed in a black trench coat and I saw his hand firing a handgun in every direction." Barone said a police officer emerged from a corner next to the cafeteria and fired a shot in the direction of the gunman no more than several yards away and missed him. Five or six more police officers showed up, he said. Barone said it was like a running battle with five or six shots fired in both directions every minute. After police eventually killed the gunman, the officers helped the students leave the cafeteria, crawling out on their bellies along a wall. Barone said as they were crawling out toward an exit they saw a girl who had been shot in the torso and who was face down surrounded by a pool of blood. He said officers told them: "Don't look, don't look. Keep going out." AP Writer Rob Gillies contributed to this report from Toronto.

LL COOL J w/ LLOYD BANKS + HOT ROD - Bump This Todd Smith 2 (2006) Ugh...why is LL doing this...not really feeling this...tho' i'm not surprised.

I actually find this shocking. What makes couples stay 2gether this song, then realize it's not working? They both need 2 get their lives in order...hopefully then can push past this and be good parents if they don't intend on trying 2 fix things.

I'll give them props 4 this...and only this. I think it's so stupid 4 someone 2 preach poison and negativity...then do something positive. If it's really in your heart 2 uplift people, then do it in your music and lyrics.

I got Justin's new album cuz i liked the song "My Love" and another song that i heard on the radio. The album is average at best....i don't really like it tho.' And i agree with Julie that Beyonce does her best work with DC.
