DE LA SOUL - Stakes Is High Stakes Is High (1996) There's been alot of trash artists being talked about on this board...and alot of average artists exaulted as modern day legends. It's time 2 clean house and remember what it's really all about.

That 50 Cent/Ja-Rule stuff is a joke 2 me. It's like watching 2 pre-schoolers fighting on a playground. All these fluffy commerical rappers have short lived careers. Ja-Rule started getting popular in 1998/1999. So it's only natural that this star start 2 fade. 50 Cent has only been big since 2002. In a few years, his hits are gonna slow down or totally disappear...just like Ja-Rule's hits have slowed down. When i look at the bulk of both of their careers, i've only ever like one 50 Cent song...and that waz "Wanksta." After that, i hated him tho'...i never saw such wackness on the horizon...ha ha. Even tho' i think Ja-Rule is garbage, he dose have a few singles that i would hear on the radio and not turn them off.

I'm not knocking Kanye...but his flow is not good. Listen 2 his voice...and his artificial southern drawl that pops in from time 2 time. Kanye has never been agressive on the mic. Listen 2 FP's flow...listen 2 the way he shines on every track he's done, reguardless of the subject matter or prodution. Kanye just dosen't have that.

3Cookies texed me yesterday saying she heard "Party Starter" on the radio in ATL. I got really hyped...as if i didn't live hundreds of miles away.

Lost + Found is much more on point that Late Registration. L+F is just 100 times more solid 2 me. I have Kanye's new album and i don't think it's bad at all, but there's just no comparison. FP just brings better lyrics and his flow is simply uncomparable. I don't think the albums are similar at all. Kanye has a clever lyric here and there, but FP's album has clever lyrics line 4 line (literally). And Kanye's flow is never that good.

My heart still goes out 2 those people. But at the same time, people need 2 accept things and move on. Some people take losses like that, let it control their lives and define their entire existence. Which is pathetic. At some point, u have 2 realize that u are holding yourself from being happy and living a normal life. I think that days like this are for reflection, not being depressed.

Someone please tell me why i should care what this fools has 2 say. His sarcasm is funny...but he stretches the boundries of idiocity.

Yeah, but MJ did a song 4 9/11 with tons of artists who were on top at the time and it never came out. I'm just scared it won't happen again.

STACIE ORRICO - Say It Again (da album) Before she released her 2003 album...she released a rough demo version of it in 2002...and this is it.

That's his 2nd single, right? If it is, i like the beat...very 90's 2 me. But The Game and 50 Cent are wack 2 me. I'd prefer the instrumental anyday.

For those talkin' about LL, i personally don't think The DEFinition isn't as good as 10. 10 has different flavas and i think the lyrics and subject matter are better. The DEFinition seems 2 radio friendly and "average" 2 me most of the time.

I don't doubt that Ja-Rule might have something 2 say...but it's hard 4 me 2 take him seriously or even care after the majority of music that he has released. And i'm so against the "aka" albums where artists release music under a different name...that's wack 2 me. It should have stopped with 2Pac's Makaveli. In retrospective, Ja-Rule's stuff doesn't look as bad as it waz when u compare it 2 50 Cent's stuff.

Yeah, i know Fergie voiced Sally in a few Peanuts specials. She waz also on Kid Incorporated. However, i never really knew who she waz until 1996 when i got in2 her Pop/R-N-B/Soul group Wild Orchid. Back then she looked like a barbie doll. Tasteful but tasteful cloths, platnium blonde hair, supermodel make-up...the whole thing. They released 2 albums and had moderate success with their singles. Then when i got Elephunk, i checked the credits and waz like "Where have i heard of Stacey Fergison from?"

I like the idea above, that FP could be on the MJ song. FP could drop an introspective verse at the end of the song. However, we all know that everytime MJ + FP do a song...it has a habit of not getting released.

MARIAH CAREY + JERMAINE DUPRI - Shake It Off The Emancipation of Mimi (2005)

I've loved BEP since 1998. I wish they style waz a lil' more like when they 1st came out...but i still think they have the best of what Hip-Hop has 2 offer on a commerical level. I've been listening 2 the album almost non-stop since it dropped.

The only Junior M.A.F.I.A. song i ever liked waz "I Need You Tonight." It has Aaliyah on the hook and really good, radio friendly production. Other than that, i hated JM. It waz a collection of rappers with no lyrics and no flow. I just hate them.

No way! Certain songs don't need remixes...unless they are really don't properly. "Tell Me Why" is one of those songs that should never be touched. The only way i could see this song being remixed is if FP brought on some steller talent that would have something worth hearing...like LL Cool J or Run.

Sometimes u don't need 2 hear an album 2 know it's not gonna be any good...this would be one of them. Look at the tracklisting. Good albums don't have songs titled that on the album.

JASON MRAZ - I'm Yours Extra Credit - Bonus EP (2005)

Wow, how can one man say so many stupid things...AND make some of the worst music ever. This idiot is really applying himself.

I think all of Run-DMC's stuff is good. Their 1st album has that classic "debut album" thing going for it. Just like Rock The House and Radio...it's just classic. Raising Hell has that classic album mystic 2 it. Back From Hell has that classic early 90's feel. Down With The King has that classic Code Red/14 Shots To The Dome/Black Reign vibe 2 it. I urge anyone who calls themselve a fan of Hip-Hop or Rap 2 check all their stuff.

Oh lawd...this stuff is just stupid.

I saw a commerical for Lil' Kim's new album. It said in the commerical that the album got 5 mics. What a joke. They played one of the the songs in the commerical and no album with even 4 mic would have a song like that on it. It's just discusting 2 me. If The Source didn't give Queen Latifah's "Black Reign" 5 mics...then Lil' Kim could never even apply 2 drop an album 2 be considered for 5 mic...PERIOD.

I knew this waz coming out cuz i did some research on it, but i didn't wanna post it until i waz totally sure JJ+FP waz gonna be on there.
