I love the topic and FP's flow. Very "He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper." Jeff on the record is great 2!

Yo! This movie is crazy. Very funny and very different. I think there's a lil' 2 much graphic gun use for the kinda movie it is...but it's really good. If u like Men In Black, u'll love this movie. Tommy Lee Jones is hilarious in it. And the cheerleaders...well...let's just say...um.....they are very yummy. Christina Milian is the head cheerleader. I think i fall in love with her everytime i see her (Nick Cannon is a lucky man!) Cedric The Entertainer is in there 2, bringing comedy as usual.

The 1st time i saw the trailor, i thought it was funny. I've probably seen it 40 times now. It annoys me now. I think i'll wait til it hits video, that way i can chose 2 not watch it if i hate it.

I wish i could share your excitment for Ludacris being on the track...but i just can't. :nono:

Y'all act like CD singles are common here in the US. In the late 90's, record companies just slowly stopped putting them out. Which sux cuz that means no b-sides, no remixes, etc. 90% of the CD singles i've got in the last 5 years have been imports. Import CD singles are becoming pretty common and their price has lowered in the past 5 years, but there's still so much that we never see. Alot of music fans in the US would only buy the singles and not the album. Of course, some artists only have 1 or 2 really good songs on their album and use them as the singles, so the singles are all u really need in some cases. So record companies are actually pretty smart by not releasing singles in the US anymore. That hurts fans like me who like 2 get singles 4 the remixes and b-sides. Think about it, in the US, while on Columbia, FP only had a few CD singles released... Gettin' Jiggy Wit It, Just The Two of Us, Wild Wild West, Freakin' It. Overseas, u got Men In Black, Just Cruisin,' Gettin' Jiggy Wit It, Just The Two of Us, Miami, Tatyana Ali's Boy You Knock Me Out, Wild Wild West, Will 2K, Freakin' It, Black Suits Comin,' and 1,000 Kisses. I havn't noticed any artists on Interscope releasing singles in the US in recent years. I just don't expect them 2 put one out for "Switch."

JJ+FP + SNOOP - Pump Ya Breaks

Man...i think i'm gonna have 2 the Party Popper outta the group. These new trax are nice, but i'll take "Potnas" or "The Rain" over them with the quickness. I like the energy of "Party Starter" but it's not what i want from FP...and Ludacris just dosen't make any sense 2 me as a colabo potna. I love Jeff cuttin' of "Pump Ya Breaks" and i love FP's flow...but i just think the production, again, just isn't there. And i don't see why Snoop is on the track. I like most of Snoop's stuff, but i don't see why him or Ludacris are on the album. The chemistry just isn't anything special. Other artists would have sounded much better along side da 'Prince. Musically they sound 2 much like the other stuff on the radio. The sound of the music just isn't heavy enuff. I hate listening 2 music over the computer, so i'm thinkin' this is part of the reason i think this way...but i wanted so much more. FP is in the right place as an emcee, but these beats just don't do him justice. I want some straight up Hip-Hop...not this stuff. I like "Switch" better than both of these cuts. From what i've heard so far, i compare this album 2 Big Willie Style. I don't think it's anywhere near the level of Code Red or Willennium. Don't wig out, this is just my opinion. One a positive note, i love the way he freestyled "Girls Ain't Nothing But Trouble" over "Drop It Like It's Hot." I think sound of that beat is cool, but not really that good. FP fit right on top of that track bringing it 2 life like it waz his own. The freestyle waz very good 2. Very focused compared 2 other emcees/rappers. FP is back...i'm just hoping the rest of the album has beats that back him up better than what i've heard so far.

I'm kinda late...but Happy B-Day!!

I agree that alot of 2day's R-N-B is watered down. It's becoming alot like commercial Rap. I waz watching 106 + Park...and the commercial rap is even worse than the commercial rap of a few years ago. And now alot of the R-N-B trax getting played aren't even that good. But commercially, i still think R-N-B is doing better than Rap/Hip-Hop (cuz it really can't get any worse). I actually think Neo-soul is weaker now that what it waz in the 90's. The stuff by Kenny Lattimore, Amel, Erykah Badu, Spearhead, etc that came our recently isn't nearly as good as their stuff from the 90's. Most R-N-B is about love...which is a God-given thing, that like Him, is never changing. I don't see the topic of love ever really changing. Maybe being brought 2 people in a new way, but that's about it. Love is something everyone can relate 2 and i think that if u can relate 2 an R-N-B love song, than it's a good song providing the music is decent and the artist has a good voice. Some of the stuff i saw on 106 + Park the other day didn't touch me at all, and the skillz behind the song weren't anything that impressive...that's not good R-N-B. Everytime i hear Omarion's "O", i turn it up and listen 2 it everytime. 2 me, that's good R-N-B. Marques Houston's new single "All Because of You" is not only a dope song, but it's is EXACTLY what i'm feeling right now in life...that's what makes me love the song. Even if i wazn't down with him since i waz 11 years old, that song would be speaking 2 me right now.

There most likely isn't going 2 be a single released in the US. U'll have 2 get an import single probably.

It's a start...we gotta keep backin' the song tho' if we wanna make any noise. It dosen't look like it's gonna do it on it's own. It's hard 2 believe that's higher than "Black Suits Comin'"....that song actually got some decent airplay.

I gotta gang of old CD singles and promos in the mail 2 day...here's a list of some of them... BONE "Days of Our Livez" BABYFACE "What If" GINUWINE "Tell Me Do U Wanna" and "I'll Do Anything" KENNY LATTIMORE "Just What It Takes (Human Rhythm Remix)" 702 "Get It Together" and "No Doubt" CHRISTINA MILIAN "Whatever U Want" PAULA ABDUL "Crazy Cool" THE FUGEES "No Woman No Cry" WYCLEF "Guantanamera (Roxanne/Roxanne Remix)" THE JERKY BOYS "Jerk Baby Jerk" KRIS KROSS "I Missed The Bus" MISSY 'MISDEMEANOR' ELLIOT, LIL' KIM + MOCHA "Hit 'Em Wit Da Hee (Remix)" MC HAMMER "Straight To My Feet" HEAVY D "I'll Do Anything (Can't Do Remix)

I think the album is great...i guess we'll have 2 see what the other O fans think.

Thanx 4 posting that!! Great pix!!

I don't like alot of dirty south Hip-Hop/Rap so would be part of the reason i don't like him. I do like OutKast, a lil' Goodie Mob, a lil' Nappy Roots, but that's about it.

I'll contact that one seller personally 2 see if they got the UK version yet.

I've been looking around online for info on the "Switch" CD single. Apparently it waz released in the UK on the February 21st. Australia gets it March 14th. Neither of them have the tracklisting revealed yet.

Omarion is of course the front man of B2K. While i liked all of B2K's stuff (except their teeny bopper fans) but this album takes it 2 the next level. He's a bit older now and the lyrics and in some places, the song is more mature. Even with the age gap, i'm relating 2 his stuff like it's Usher's. Here's a quick review... I WISH This song is dope. It's produced by the new producing team Corna Boys (who i'm already a big fan of...they also did Marques Houston's new joint). It's a very sugar-coated R-N-B radio friendly song. It's about being head over heels for a girl. TOUCH This is a Neptunes-produced song. This upbeat one is about telling a girl he thinks they should move their relationship 2 another level. Compared 2 the rest of the album, i think this is one of the weaker trax. O This is the 1st single most of u probably have already heard. It's a sexy mid-tempo/slow song. One of the smoothest songs 2 hit the radio in awhile. Very T.U.G. kinda stuff. I'M TRYNA Another dope one. It's a slow song, but dosen't come across that way thru' the vocals. It's a song about him lettin' a girl know he loves her, but since she left him, he's pretending he's cool with it. DROP THAT HEATER This one is 4 the clubs. Darkchild heats it up on this one. GROWING PAINS This song is one of a handful of Marques Houston produced and/or written songs. This song touches on the break up of B2K. He talks about missing the good old days but how their situation got really crazy and that it seems just not meant 2 be. He also speaks 2 the fans on this one. TAKE IT OFF This is another one 4 the clubs...but not nearly as good as "Drop The Heater." Good song, but nothing new 2 it. Long time Platnium Status/T.U.G. member Mila J pops up on the track. I've never liked her much tho'...her voice is just 2 annoying 2 me. NEVER GONNA LET YOU GO (SHE'S A KEEPA) This track is really cool. It has this swinging upbeat retro feel. Big Boi of OutKast spits a verse on it. This track is alos on the Hitch soundtrack. I KNOW He smooths it out again on this one. This one is talking 2 a lady that he wants 2 be with him instead of her current man. I'M GON' CHANGE Another Corna Boys joint!! The production is again, FLAWLESS. Smoothed out R-N-B at it's best. This one has O talking 2 a past girl saying how he wants 2 make things work cuz he now realizes how much she means 2 him. IN THE DARK Another slow sexy one. MH behind the scenes again. Put this song on with your lady...and her cloths just may melt off. SLOW DANCIN' Keeping is smooth...another slow one. FIENING YOU Unique sound 2 this one. Keeps the slow vibe of the album 2 finish it off. Bottom line, if u like R-N-B, especially the Imx/immature/B2K/Marques Houston/O'Ryan stuff....u'll be in heaven with this album. This is an album that will be playing in my CD player for the upcoming year. There is also a Dual Disc version of the album which has the "O" music video, an interview, and MTV's "Diary of Omarion. The album is $9.98 at Target, where u will also get a free digital download for the b-side "Let You Know." Circuit City has it for $9.99. FYE has it for $14.99. The Dual Disc version is $1 or $2 more than the regular version.

BRIAN MCKNIGHT's new album Gemini

I really don't like any of Petey Pablo's stuff. On those cameo appearances, like that Joe song u mentioned, it dosen't bother me so much, but his music dose say anything 2 me, and his lyrics, flow, and voice aren't anything i can stand listening 2.

Heck 2 the nizzo...i'm not even a huge Nas fan, but his music is way more honest and down 2 earth than Jay-Z's. Jay's got those God-awful songs like "Change Cloths" that put nails in2 the coffin of Hip-Hop music.

BRANDY - Necessary I can't believe people slept in her latest album...it's so good.

OMARION - I'm Tryin' kbfprince...i got the album, i'll make do a review of it 2nite

Congratz!! Thank 4 sharing those pix!! I love how everyone brought JJ+FP CDs. I'm sure FP feels really good when a fan brings up a JJ+FP CD rather than a solo album. It just shows how much his fans love JJ+FP.

There isn't a US single. That waz just the promo that radio stations get. Most of the time they only have a back insert or no insert at all.
