Jay-Z is a joke 2 me. And i'll never be okay that he's heading Def Jam. Ne-Yo and Rihanna are some of my favorite new artists, but they aren't exactly carrying on the Def Jam legacy. LL Cool J is the only person doing that. Tierra Marie seems like she could be a real talent...but her album (put 2gether by "The Carter Administration") just doesn't display it properly. I just can't be totally okay with the idea of FP, a Hip-Hop pioneer, taking orders from someone like Jay-Z. It's just not right.

I didn't check that link out due 2 my crappy computer. But i think u are talking about the performance the Hip-Hop nation did 4 him as he waz going off the air. It waz INSANE...artist after artists and group after group came out doing freestyles. One of the best Hip-Hop moments EVER on TV.

I don't think it would be a bad idea...but i do have a problem with the whole "Carter Administration" crap.

THE ROOTS + JAGUAR - What You Want The Best Man Soundtrack (1999)

There really are 2 worlds in one. There's the negative world and the postive world. Some people are negative people. They look at their personal life...and the world as a whole and they see how awful things are. They point the fingure at other people and hold them accountable 4 a situation much bigger than that person. Their closed minded thinking allows them 2 think they are the only person seeing things clearly...when in fact they don't see much of anything. They spend their time trying 2 anger and upset others...trying 2 knock them down 2 a level as low as their own. Lord knows they can't feel good about themselves so they want 2 share their misery. Usually these people won't listen 2 anyone else or allow themselves 2 expand their thoughts or views. Then there are positive people. These are the people that make the world work. They see the things wrong in their life and in this world. But they stay positive knowing it will pass...or at least get better. They come upon a hardship..and instead of living miserable and deafeated, they look forward 2 the good times on their way. They see things wrong with this world and wrong done 2 them. But rather than taking is personal all the time, they just keep pressing on and let it go. After wall, why let bitterness and living in the pass run your future?!? A negative person might say that this kind of person is disillusional 2 the real world, but that's cuz their negative thinking is so limited that it's the only way they allow themselves 2 see things. A positive thinker not only lives life 2 the fullest, but they wanna share their joy and advice with others and don't get offended when a negative person doesn't wanna hear it. Look at your life, look at yourself. R u limiting the joy u experience in life? R u getting some kind of satisfaction by angering and annoying others? Do u have some kind of false pride that allows u 2 share your limited, deafeated, and negative thinking with others, trying 2 bring others down 2 your level?? It's time 2 examin your life and change your ways b4 u are all alone cuz all of the people u know don't want 2 be burdened by your company.

PUBLIC ENEMY - Do You Wanna Go Our Way (Nexttman UK Remix) The First London Invasion Tour 1987 (2005?)

Ha ha...i can relate. I've been so busy working overtime and long hours, that when i finally get a "break" i have 2 catch up on life. So working out has been VERY hard. With spring here and summer quickly approaching, it gives me extra determination 2 make it happen. In the mean time, i've just been very picky about what i eat. It came be hard, but self-discipline is the key...like Tim said. Other than that, u gotta have that champion attitude and make time even when it's hard. I have a few Hip-Hop work out mixCDs i've made 2 motivate me when i get the time 2 really work out. During busy times, i at least 2 a short mini work out once every day. It usually fits in a 10 minute window...just so i don't slip 2 much.

Rather than just close the topic so that those who may be offended or even angered by some of the debating...i've deleted the drama...and now we can move on. Just the other day i saw the "Freeze" video premier. Many people say this is the weakest song on the album...but i think the video came out pretty good and may change some people's minds about the track. The slightly empty neo-soul sound mixed with LL's quick rhymes offers up something different. The video features scenes of a very vunerable LL acting out the scenes. Other than that, it features smokey, cool colored close ups of LL and Lyfe doing their thing. It also has that trendy wide screen look with images in the upper and lower bar. Definitly a good video. Hopefully it dose what "Control Myself" did.

Ok internet thug :chuks: Internet thug?? Don't mess around and have me make u look like FP at the end of the "I Think I can Beat Mike Tyson" video. Call me out when u learn how 2 log in.

Oh lawd....this whole mess is unecessary. I'm probably repeating alot of stuff already said, but i wazn't about 2 waste tyme reading all those other posts. "Switch" is a dope video. L+F is FP's low key way of getting back in2 the game after an extreemly slick and flashy take over of the pop charts...then slipping drastically with B2R. As a reflection of the album, FP came out with a down 2 earth video and unique club song. It's definitly done in true FP fashion...but it also fits in nicely in with the boring videos put 2gether by 2day's lesser talented commerical rap fools. The success of the song is proof that the formula worked. The song is 4 the clubs...why would they come up with some out-there kinda concept 4 the video. It fits. And the ladies in the video didn't come off as tasteless 2 me. Check all of FP's videos...the girls are always fine. Even if there is some revealing outfits, nothing is ever tasteless in his videos. Look at those 50 Cent and Nelly videos. They are filled with thick girls, with bad skin, stretch marks, and cellulite infested thighs (think i'm lying...watch late nite music video shows). One thing u'll never see in an FP video is a girl who has 2 be blurred cuz she's showing 2 much. Stupid topic if u ask me...very stupid.

Even tho' it's a silly soundtrack song...and a sequel song at that...it's still alot of fun. And that last verse is blazing. My favorite version is the MIB2 Remix. That version is just crazy....it darn near sounds like a regular song.

GENERAL STATEMENT...an overkill on idiocy always shows a member's last leg on the board...ha ha.

THE FUGEES - The Score (da album) (1996) For those who slept on this album and want it. Columbia has pushed out alot of copies everywhere. Most places have it priced at $11.99. If u don't mind getting the edited version, Wal-Mart has it on sale for just $7.99 right now. I'm not sure if the sale continues after Saturday.

I just watched a news special on the E! network. It confirmed that a few of Snoop's friends started the mess. But since it waz Snoop's crew, he got arrested also. He's been released already.

I always knew mark waz an idiot...but now i think everyone knows.

Yeah, anyone looking 4 some inspirational thoughts, i strongly urge u 2 try it out. Each e-mail gives u a spiritual message that'll leave u looking at your life and seeing if u need 2 change anything 4 a more positive outlook. There is much more 2 this man than "Kel Spencer" the emcee.

BLACK EYED PEAS - Gone Going Monkey Business (2005)

"We're Gonna Make It" is one of the best songs written in years. Lyric 4 lyric, it's on point. 2 say it's "weird" becuz it's not something u believe in is irrelevant. Those lyrics are probably my favorite on the whole album. nothin gonna hold you back theres no limits (i've learned over the past few years that if u limit your thinking, u limit your life...i started believeing in more for myself and broke alot of walls down that many people said would never happen) im set to bring truth to rap - not gimmicks (commerical rap is all about gimmicks...LL has always put truth and relavant lyrics in his music...regaurdless the phase he waz doing thru') Man listen, heres the moral to the thesis y'all cats need jesus he put your life back together pick up the pieces (i'll over look the relgious message 4 those who don't believe the same, or get all bent out of shape cuz they don't understand it...alot of people lead boring lives where u can't expect much and get involved in negative things....when u find something positive, i'll chaing the way u think, live, and the actions u take. Imagin how different things would be if those commercial rappers weren't poisoning the minds of their listeners) word to the masses i heard God ask us for less fake rappers and more real pastors (there aren't alot of people stepping up, spreading truth, or offering something solid 2 listeners. Hip-Hop waz never meant 2 be that way. Real Hip-Hop will address a problem and solve it, or introduce something new 2 a listener)

THANX!!

That song is dope, Wes!! LL COOL J + LYFE - Freeze Todd Smith (2006)

When u have dropped so many albums...u gotta try different things when u hit those double digits. I think that album is dope also...check my reiview on it a few pages back. I waz listening 2 it earlier 2day myself.

YES!! SOME NEW MC LYTE!!! IT'S ABOUT TYME!!! I gotta check out this book 2. Thanx 4 posting this!!

Snoop has changed his life over the years. Some of his lyrics may talk about getting wrapped up in the street life...but he's moved on from that. He's got a family and a successful lifestyle. I wouldn't be surprised if Julie is right. That one of his friends took things in2 his own hands...and since Snoop is famous, he got taken down with them. Notice that the incident happened at HEATHROW AIRPORT. Get of that H and replace it with a D....he just needs 2 stay away from places that are spelled alot like Deathrow. Ha ha!

Off the top of my head... Lost + Found, Could U Love Me, and Loretta all kinda have a very updated Code Red vibe 2 me. Pump Ya Breaks reminds me of and updated He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper vibe cuz it informative lyrics. If U Can't Dance (Slide) and Here He Comes reminds me of an updated Homebase vibe. Scary Story reminds me of Rock The House since it's a before/after fame story telling kinda song.

That's awesome. As a positive thinker...i can't say i'm insanely surprised...but it's definitly a strong statement supporting the officail return of JJ+FP. Lost + Found waz a great stepping stool 4 it. And the way The Return... sounds...it'll be another great stepping stool 2 JJ+FP making a real comeback.
