DJ JAZZY JEFF - Know Ur Hood The Magnificent (2002)

Damian, i'm pretty sure it's not released. I think it's safe to say they only released that crappy Bad Boys 2 soundtrack with all the commercial rap songs and not a version with the cinematic music...which wazn't even in the 2nd movie like it waz in the 1st. Who know tho'...maybe after some digging i could find it. I'll let u know.

Before The Willennium....cuz it's freakin' ill, yo! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!

Ebay/Half.com recently added a feature where u can review and rate music movies, etc. Ebay is more powerful than Amazon and all those other music/movie distributers online. I think it would be nice if we ALL go there and support their music since not alot is going on at the moment. Even if u aren't feeling an album or single, u should give it a 5 to balance it out when haters start going up in there ripping music apart. When u go 2 ebay.com, scroll down a bit and u'll see a Reviews + Guides or something like that on the left side of the screen. Click on it, log in, and go from there. Just a hint, when u search for JJ+FP, don't put in "jazzy jeff fresh prince" cuz their name is so long that the "e" gets cut off and u won't find all their albums...ha ha.

This should come as no surprise....but Puffy's Bad Boys II soundtrack only has commercial trax (most of them not in the movie). The theme isn't on it. If u remember, the guy who did the music for Bad Boys waz on board for Bad Boys II, but he backed out in the middle of it and Dr. Dre took over. That's one thing that killed me. I think the music in the movie should have been done differently. Dr. Dre kept throwing in that beat he did in 1999 for Chronic 2001. Yeah, the beat waz dope, but why did he use it like 3 times in a movie coming out in 2003?!?

THANX!! A new album is long overdue. I can't wait 4 it 2 drop. Hip-Hop has needed something big like a Rakim album for awhile.

I've looked at the album but i haven't gotten it yet. I think i'll listen 2 it in a record store 2day. I'll definitly get it...it's a matter of how much i like it if i pick it up 2day or later. I think he's talented. I just did really catch the buzz when i saw him live 2 years ago.

I didn't know this album waz a double album. But i know it's been in the works for awhile now. I can't wait 2 get it. With their 1st album 2gether in mind, i want solo albums from both of them after this 2nd duet album.

It waz summer '96, i waz 16, and i remember seeing the video 4 the 1st time late at night when VH-1 had a show called Soul of VH-1. I fell in love with that song from the 1st listen. It's just so smooth. The production, lyrics, and vocals is stuff that classics are made of.

SLUM VILLAGE - The Look of Love Fantastic: Vol. 1 (1997)

I don't know...we all know that there is a loop hole in every legal system. There's lot of people who are over penalized 4 crimes, people let off for things simply cuz someone didn't make a court date and so on. I don't think it's right...but i don't think it's wrong. If i had a family, i'd wanna if some psyco idiot like the guy who claimed 2 kill JonBenet waz living in my neighborhood...whether they found guilty or not guilty. I don't think the info should be just put out there...but i think it should be at easy access for those who want it.

The Jackass crew will always have a following...2gether or apart. They are hilarious. They are living the dream of young crazy people everywhere.

For those of u not familiar with the track. Slum Village's debut album Fantastic: Vol. 2 has a track called "I Don't Know" that features DJ Jazzy Jeff scratching all over it. It's a bouncy Hip-Hop track that waz actually a single. If u've never checked it out...do yourself and check the song out...and Slum Village 4 that matter. Anyways, after seeing unathorized copies of their unreleased album, Fantastic: Vol. 1. They released a semi-official version of the album this year right after Jay Dee aka J-Dilla passed away. I scooped it up with the quickness and waz actually kinda disappointed when i heard the original version of "I Don't Know" which doesn't have Jazzy on it. After 7 years of thinking Jeff masterminded those James Brown samples in2 the song, i waz actually upset 2 find out the samples were already there and that literally, Jeff did waz scratch over the track and that it waz remastered 4 the actual release. Oh well, a dope collabo none the less.

I guess with times changing and his plans changing, he just made a transition. ATOJ had been kinda quite the past year or 2. Even when ATOJ producers did trax 4 other people, they didn't always have the ATOJ name attatched 2 them.

I wouldn't mind hearing them do a track since Lupe seems 2 have a real quality album on the way (at least his 1st single and the mixtape seem 2 make me believe that). But at the same time, i don't see why they would. There's no real reason or connection between them.

Here's some random (and kinda funny) newz from AOL... ------------------------------------------------------------------ Snoop Dogg Puts 'Em In, 'Coach' Snoop Dogg is turning family man. The rapper -- known more for his gangsta image than Papa Snoop -- is working on a film that will chronicle his real-life accounts as a coach for his son's youth football team, appropriately dubbed 'Coach Snoop.' The MC told MTV that it won't be documentary, but rather a "real movie" helmed with the help of 'Friday' writer DJ Pooh. "It's going to be a great, fun movie that you can take your whole family to see," Snoop said. "We're in the second stage of the writing part." Meanwhile, Snoop releases his latest album, 'Blue Carpet Treatment' -- featuring such VIP guests as The Game, Timbaland, Brandy, Pharrell and Stevie Wonder -- on Nov. 21. ------------------------------- Elton John Wants to Make Hip-Hop Album Elton John is no stranger to hip-hop. He performed wack rapper #2's 'Stan' with the rapper on stage at the 2001 Grammys. LOS ANGELES (Aug. 25) - Goodbye yellow brick road, hello hip hop. Elton John tells Rolling Stone magazine that he wants to record a hip-hop album with Grammy-winning producer Dr. Dre. "I want to work with Pharrell , Timbaland, Snoop, Kanye, wack rapper #2 and just see what happens," John says in the Sept. 7 issue. "It may be a disaster, it could be fantastic, but you don't know until you try." The 59-year-old says he is a fan of Blackstreet's "No Diggity" and Tupac Shakur's "California Love." "I want to bring my songs and melodies to hip-hop beats," John says. "I love these beats, but I have no idea how to get them." John performed wack rapper #2 's song "Stan" with the rapper during the 2001 Grammy awards. John's new album, "The Captain and the Kid," is due in September.

Anything that talks about being "gangsta" is just a joke 2 me. Like KRS-One said back in '93 on The Arsenio Hall Show..."Real gangsters don't rap."

Very sad. He waz one of the funniest people ever. I didn't even know about him until one of my ex-girlfriends turned me on to his show. He waz awesome at what he did and came off invincible with how he approached alot of the things he did on the show.

I've only seen part of the awards. I think it waz very cool 2 see Hype Williams getting and award 4 his work on the amazing music videos he's created over the years. Most of them are so good u don't realize how bad some of the songs are until u heard it on the radio or on CD. Missy's mini-set was cool. Having her do a classic joint verses her newer stuff waz cool 2 me. Especially when Timbaland came out even tho' he didn't have anything 2 do since Missy waz stuck in the powerwheel...ha ha. Christina Aguilera waz breathtaking. I mean, i can't say anything other than that she waz amazing. And i agree that Jack Black wazn't very funny. I think he is naturally very funny, but from what i saw, he actually sucked at hosting the show this year.

Yeah, 2 this day, "Just Cruisin'" is easly one of my favorite trax by FP...and by Trackmasters. Trackmasters catch alot of flack on this board for the mainstream trax they've done for FP's solo stuff. Like any artist or producers...some trax are better than other. But i like alot of stuff that they've done. Big Daddy Kane, Roxanne, LL Cool J, Usher, Total, Jesse Powell, Busta Rhymes, Foxy Brown, BLACKstreet, Mary J. Blige, CRU, Billy Lawrence, Allure, Marc Nelson, Heavy D, Soul IV Real, Black Eyed Peas, Blu Cantrell, R. Kelly, MC Lyte, Jenniefer Lopez, Keith Murray, Rihanna, Nick Cannon, Brian McKnight and more have benifited from their stuff. Don't count them out 4 a few average mainstream trax. "Just Cruisin'" is just amazing. When i saw the MIB soundtrack had another FP track, i flipped. It waz exactly what i needed...just a dope track and not a soundtrack, movie-related song. 2 me, it waz exactly what FP waz about in the 9-7. He dropped a summer track about something everybody can relate 2...just chillin' and having a day 4 yourself. Like most of his music...it's timeless.

The sad thing is, these days the audio and video of the 80's is decaying as we speak. I know from my own collection of home videos and cassettes. If the few people who don't own this stuff put it on CD and DVD, it may never be perserved 2 ever come outta the vault.

Yeah, the track is only on the MIB soundtrack. FP said b4 BWS came out that "Just Cruisin'" would be on the album and "Men In Black" would not be. But Columbia wouldn't overlook the Hip-Hop song that got the most radio play EVER. FP tried 2 do the same for Willennium and "WWW" but it didn't work. By the time B2R came around, he didn't even care.

S.H.E. - I'll Never Leave You 3's A Charm (1997) This album has got me missing 90's R-N-B really bad.

That's kinda steep. They let people with much more serious crimes off easy or give them even less jail time. Seems like they are over punishing him cuz he's a celebrity or something.

I don't know...i've seen Nelly and wack rapper #1 videos where the girls are disgusting. I waz seeing cellulite giggling all over the screen an i waz wondering who actually finds that attractive. There's a big difference between healthy booty and unkept trashbags of cottage cheeze. (((did the AJ take it 2 far on that one?...ha ha)))
