Keep in mind Kid N' Play's "Face The Nation" paralleled with JJ+FP's "Homebase." The albums aren't similar or anything. But if u are one of the people who love "Code Red," u need 2 check the House Party 3 soundtrack. There are 6 trax that very much the Code Red of Kid N' Play....and the trax are pretty much just as dope as the stuff on Code Red.

I'm not saying it's a bad album...and wouldn't want him 2 do the same thing again...i waz just hopin' 4 a lil' more. Some of the trax really stand out. My main problem is that Cube doesn't come off as 2 hungry on the trax. And again, the production is pretty average. Some songs are on a higher point...and some are on a lower one. I haven't listened 2 it in a few days, i'll have 2 pop it back in. The cover is dope tho.'

I got it last week and i give it a 6 or a 7 on a scale from 1-10. Ice Cube's comes on off very much like it used 2. But i miss the heavy political stuff. It just seems like Ice Cube was a little 2 comfortable with what he waz spitting this time around...which is dangerous when u don't release albums as much as u used 2. And the production is definitly average. I do like the album, but it doesn't meet the expectations that i hold for an artist of his caliber.

RIHANNA - Unfaithful Girl Like Me (2006) I'm lovin' the video. Slower songs don't usually get video play like this one is getting.

Ha ha...i'm always adding 2 that list. It's good 2 see some of those forgotten artists are getting discovered by someone all over again.

Or u can own it on 1 of the 2 JJ+FP homevideos...Summertime (And Other Hits) (1991) and Greatest Hits (1998).

This album isn't really that rare. Thumbs down on putting the whole thing up there. But i think pretty much anyone who loves JJ+FP will love Kid N' Play. "Ain't Gonna Hurt Nobody" waz a hit...i remember "Slippn'" waz also released as a single.

MARTHA REEVES + THE VANDELLAS - (Love Is Like A) Heat Wave The Millennium Collection (1960's/1999)

Man, i could go on 4ever with this topic 4ever. I just LOVE music. So here is just a few random artists that come 2 mind at the moment. MICHAEL JACKSON - Off The Wall and Thriller. I just grew up on this stuff b4 i really knew what music really waz. Bad waz probably the 1st cassette i ever owned. Dangerous came out just as i waz getting in middle school..and that album just went on for like 2 years. HIStory and Invincible also set the mood 4 each of their eras. BOYZ II MEN - Coolyhighharmony waz amazing. That entire album takes me back 2 place i love....back when i waz 11 and 12. II dropped when i 1st started high school. Every single one of their albums have served as a soundtrack 2 my life at the time they came out. JJ+FP - need i say more. TLC - i put those girls right along JJ+FP. I just love their lyrics, their style, and their sound. I started following them b4 they blew up, and i'm still following them even after the circumstances that have kept them from doing what they love on the same level.

I made a post about that a few years ago. Every album remastered, with b-sides, remixes, and instsrumentals, along with expanded CD inserts loaded with pictures and liner notes. Then back it with a DVD loaded with videos, behind the scenes stuff, interviews (old and new) and maybe live performances. We can always dream, can't we?

NICK LACHEY - What's Left of Me What's Left of Me (2006)

Someone needs 2 go 2 every Beyonce and Destiny's Child message board 2 promote Lost + Found. Make the title of the post "SAVE BEYONCE"...then post this picture with the caption "Buy Will Smith's album "Lost + Found" within 24 hours or Beyonce will transform into this creater."

I had a dream that the album hit stores next week...let's see if i'm right. Who dreams about JJ+FP albums dropping?!?

JURASSIC 5 - Quality Control (Part II) EP (1999) Brakes!! That Smooth song is my joint!! I have all 3 of her albums along with the CD single for "Mind Blowin'" which is loaded with flawless mid-90's remixes. She actually dropped a single about 2 years ago but nobody heard of it.

Thanx 4 posting that!! It's about time he drop this new album. He's been dropping rare singles, doing random performances, and dropping videos every once in awhile that haven't added up2 much. From what i've heard over the years, i think this album has alot of potential if he can just get it out there and at least a lil' support from the media.

Good point, i wazn't looking at it as a worldwide thing with that comment. But it is frustrating. The whole way thru' school, i always did projects and papers on AIDS...just doing my part 2 educate others and keep it in people's heads. I really think we need 2 submurge ourselves with it in the media again.

Ha ha...but this is LL we are talking about. No editing needed. I only don't like when they don't put out these CD/DVD combos the 1st week cuz then i'll buy it twice 4 the bonus stuff.

For all those LL fans, i highly urge u 2 pick up the LL Cool J "Todd Smith" CD + DVD combo xclusively available at Wal-Mart. Yeah, i picked up the album the day it dropped...but when Wal-Mart just recently put out this combo, i had 2 get it. And it's totally worth it, at least 4 the LL fans. The basics are the "Control Myself" and "Headsprung" videos. The real stuff is BET's "Blue Print" special on LL where he talks about everything from music, to movies, 2 his life, 2 his faith. On top of that, u get 2 live performances, BET's "All Access" episode on the making of Headsprung, footage of the making of the "Control Myself" video, AND parts of a 1997 interview he did on RapCity during the "Phenomenon" music video. It's over an hour or rare LL. All i can say is that it's well worth the $13.88. that Wal-Mart has it priced at. It won't be available long....so don't miss out.

RICH CRONIN feat. TOOTHPICK - Watch U Dance (unreleased) (2006)

Yeah, i'm actually really disappointed on how AIDS and HIV is ignored these days. Back in the early 90's...it waz talked about in schools, on TV, in music, and so on. It still gets talked about, but nothing like it used 2 be. One thing that really disappoints me is that we know exactly how 2 not get it...and we've known about this for so long, that it literally could be wiped out by now. But people are just so ignorant, irresponsible, and carefree 2 achieve that kinda result. I'm not coming down on people have have AIDS or HIV, cuz i actually know someone who has it. But we know that by abstaining or practicing "safer" sex and not sharing used drug needles, this disease would be gone or nearly gone by now. I pray that they find a cure for it...but i also pray that people clean their lives up, get away from drugs, and learn how 2 control themselves.

:::prints out::: :::puts in frame beside bedside:::

I've checked Circuit City, Wal-Mart, Borders, FYE, Best Buy, and an independent record store. It hasn't been released. With albums like this, it's not common for them 2 actually come out a week or 2 after the actual release date. That's probably the case.

JJ+FP - Summertime Homebase (1991)

ICE CUBE - Growin' Up Laugh Now, Cry Later (2006)

This has nothing 2 do with gender or America. It has 2 do with the way things are. There are shady people out there. It's our own responcibility 2 know the facts about certain things so that we don't get taken advantage of. It all goes back 2 being street smart. This has nothing 2 do with gender or America.
