Ummm...he's not using the word "bums" in context with poor people.

I just got finished watching TLC's show R U The Girl with T-Boz + Chilli. As a die hard TLC fan straight from 1991, i waz scared 2 death of how it would turn out. However, the show is everything i think a TLC fan could dream of. The show opens with the girls breifly talking about TLC. Where they came from, how they defined Hip-Hop, then became the biggest girl group of all time. They then talked about Left Eye and how they are not trying 2 replace her with this TV show, but how they needed 2 take hiatus from the bizness. Now they are ready 2 comeback and give a fan a chance 2 perform with them 4 a song on their Greatest Hits album (which is weird since Now + Forever waz released overseas in 2003 and then here in the US just last month). They want a girl who can sing, dance, and rap 4 the song and the girl will get 2 perform with them live in concert. The girls of TLC have not changed. They are still beautiful, hilarious, and up 2 the crazysexycool behavior they defined over 10 years ago. After going thru' lots of audition tapes, they visit a handful of girls in a close area on each episode, give them a CD with the song they want them 2 perform and an invitation. The girls then audition in person and after they all peform, the TLC goes in2 another room and talks about their performances and desides who they wanna bring down 2 Atlanta (TLC's homebase) 4 a final audition...after they hit up a bunch of other cities. The high points 2 me were actually just following the girls around. They go out 2 eat and they have fans giving them presents, they go shopping, and just act silly. The girls may have went thru' alot and gained alot of wisdom, but they are still the same girls when they entered the bizness. After they accept the gift from a fan, the look 2 the camera and say "this is exactly why we still are in this business." Then, when they are shopping in this huge mall, they start playing with a giant piano where u have 2 jump on the electronic keys 2 play it. Later, while Chilli is stocking up on toys 4 her son, T-Boz is riding around the toy store on a bike, and slams in2 one of the employees, who falls off the bike. Later, they are in a restaurant, and the waiter claims 2 be from Jamica. Chilli is like "i bet he is from New York and is using that fake accent...let's make up a city and see if he acts like he knows about it." T-Boz struggles 2 keep a straight face and Chilli is like "have you ever been to Teensytown?" and the waiter says "i have heard of it but i'm not familiar with it." Words can express how funny the candid moments, but if u like TLC, check out the show. It isn't what alot of people expected. And the girls that audition have got crazy skillz. So far i'm rooting for Meah. Not just cuz she's from Maryland (like myself), but becuz under her gorgous looks get your attention, but her attitude and talent is amazing. The show aires on UPN on Wednesdays at 8. They re-air it on Tuesdays.

This is just another one of Eminem's gimmicks. His music is often boring and has little direction, which is totally different from his early work. Eminem is a big Hip-Hop fan, so he knows that his music, 4 the most part, just isn't good. None of the artists on he is affiliated with have any talent. D12, 50 Cent, G-Unit....all of them. They suck. Only high skool kids in middle americia actually think their music is good. Eminem knows that his music and the music he works behind the scenes on isn't any where near as good as the stuff he is a fan of. Ever since 2000, he's built his career on more and more gimmicks, which now out balence the skill he displays on his albums. I knew he wazn't retiring. But hopefully, he'll maybe change his game up 4 the better...and shun the garbage he helps put out.

Yeah, "Party Starter" will get things back on track. It's just a waiting game. Either way, "Tell My Why" will take the album 2 new levels where "Party Starter" makes an impact or not. However, i don't think it could hurt 2 post a "Party Starter" snippet on Hip-Hop/Rap message boards and especially Ludacris related boards.

I'm not surprised either. Considering there is no airplay, no video, no performances...NO NOTHING, it seems about right.

Ha...i can see what u mean. If u saw the costume in person, u might not think that tho.'

I wish they were all locked up...with no way 2 record music.

And here's a candid from the photo shoot.

Now it's tyme 4 people 2 clown me. Here's a pic of a scene from my show Into The Woods from a week and a half ago.

JASON MRAZ - Wordplay

I remember that pic...i think i clowned u 4 having sunglasses on inside.

In situations like that...i pop in "The Rain."

I don't think the album needs "saved"...but "Party Starter" needs 2 be reelased VERY SOON. The video that is.

I didn't care 2 have Kanye on FP's album...but i wouldn't mind hearing FP on Kanye's album. I like the fact that he gave FP props with that comment but that still dosen't make him an impressive artist. I love most of his production, but as an emcee, he's nothing special..tho' better than the other commercially successful rappers. I have 2 change the radio station every time "Diamonds" comes on the radio. That song is so boring i might fall asleep behind the wheel. Hopefully it's a poor repersentation of the album.

That's awful. Even tho' all we ever did on this board waz fight, i got his back.

That guy is 29!?!? I thought he waz like 14!!!! Am i the only one who thought that???

Nice comment....but i think Jadakiss makes awful music. He should have used a better example when it comes the mixtape emcee.

SNOW - Stay Ballin'

I'm aware i missed quite a few people. I like alot of others that u have mentioned. A few of them made me cringe tho' when i saw them mentioned in a post that's supposed 2 be about real Hip-Hop...not just Rap.

Sometimes i watch that show when it's on late at nite. That kid reminds me alot of myself in high skool....except i waz funnier, more talented, skinny, and not nearly as annoying..ha ha. His humor is just bizarre...and sometimes it's right up my ally.

No...no more Big Willie Styles. BWS waz 4 1997/1998. No more flashy stuff. It waz good 4 what it waz, but no reason 2 ever go back 2 that stuff.

I don't think those lines are cheesy...they are just funny 2 me. He's always been that way.

The JJ+FP hotline was in the And In This Corner... cassette/CD insert.
