  1. The East Coast/West Coast feud started after 2Pac started attacking Biggie in songs, freestyles, and interviews. He said B.I.G. knew that he waz gonna be robbed and shot, but never told 2Pac. He felt betrayed cuz he mentored Biggie and gave him some shine by letting him record a few trax with him and letting him perform at some of his shows. Of course Puffy and Junior M.A.F.I.A. were a part of Biggie's clique, and after Biggie sold out his original style for the commercializm of Bad Boy, he didn't hold any anger back. From there, the Source awards took it 2 another level in which Suge called out Puffy and Bad Boy which turned it in2 a Deathrow/Bad Boy fued. From there, a bunch of other artists jumped in. Like Nas, Jay-Z, Mobb Deep, Tha Dogg Pound, and others. Most of them had no place 2 open their mouth in the 1st place. I never thought Biggie waz a real talent. I'm not insulting him, i just never saw anything that impressive from him and i don't see how people can call him one of the greatest...especially since he waz taken only after dropping 1 album. The East Coast/West Coast feud waz nothing but a big embarassment which lead only 2 violence. I think there waz some good 2 come out of it. It helped do away with gangsta rap. People realized that it waz time 2 grow up and stop being so careless with their music. After all that happened, Hip-Hop got a breath of fresh air. Old skool artists and new new skool artists arrived with some REAL Hip-Hop music and listeners were kinda sick of the harder stuff. Of course alot of mainstream stuff succeeded like Mase and so on...but u gotta take the good with the bad. Sadly, that breath of fresh air didn't last long enuff. By 1999, alot of garbage started emerging again. In recent years, FP, Latifah, and so on have been ignored musically by the mainstream while rubbish from Chingy, Ludacris, Lil' Jon, Lil' Scrappy, G-Unit, and other has gotten popular. Rest In Peace 2 all of Hip-Hop's fallen soilders.
  2. I really don't think it's gonna be another Code Red. But i do think it'll be more like Willennium mixed with a dash of Code Red and a touch of his other albums. I just doubt he'll do something alot like something he's already done.
  3. GINUWINE - Only When UR Lonely (Remix) feat. TIMBALAND Man, this waz Ginuwine's only single from his debut album that wazn't huge. I found this crazy remix Timbaland did 4 the song. It's like finding buried treasure!!
  4. I think FP's grandmother said it best when she said "truely intellegent people don't use words like that." And she's right. Look at artists like 50 Cent, The Game and Ja-Rule. They are not the smartest cats. The majority, if not all of their music has no substance and no wisdom 2 it. U can't get anything out of it cuz they don't have anything intellgent 2 offer. Notice that the smarter artists in Hip-Hop don't rely on cussing. It dosen't mean they are always squeaky clean, but they they don't use explict words as a crutch 2 overshadow their lack of skillz. LL Cool J, Rakim, Heavy D, Run-DMC, MC Hammer, etc have always been my favorite artists since i waz a kid. They made/make music that a young person can grow up on...and music that a older person can vibe off of. Even tho' FP always shrugs it off, he is very intellegent and his entire career reflects that. His music is his only real way 2 get 2 know him, and the music speaks 4 itself.
  5. There are different trax on different versions. I think the US one is the best version (except 4 the fact that it dosen't have "Don't Fight The Feeling." The main differences are that the import (non-US) versions feature singles and remixes not included on our version (Can't Wait To Be With You, I Wanna Rock, The Things U Do). And Japan's version has "Don't Fight The Feeling" as a bonus track where u can't find anywhere else.
  6. There probably isn't gonna be a single 4 it in the US. The US dosen't really have singles anymore. Only very new artists or established artists like Madonna occasionally drop singles. Other than that, we get imports from other countries. And Interscope never drops singles. I highly doubt we'll see a US version of the single.
  7. Yeah, there is actually 3 or 4 versions of the JJ+FP Greatest Hits album.
  8. MARIAH CAREY - Can't Take That Away From Me (Morales Club Mix)
  9. I know SOMEONE has seen this movie. Post your reviews!!
  10. That cover dosn't match the promo single i have on it's way 2 me. The promo dosne't have a cover, but the style of the CD is all white with "Will Smith" in black and "Switch" in red, very basic fonts. Usually the designes and colors are similar...not in this case.
  11. I don't have anything against Justin Timberlake. His solo music has made him proove himself 2 me...but i prefer 2 NOT have him on that album. He should put that song on a soundtrack.
  12. It's amazing what some people consider "gangsta." God forbid FP wear any baggy cloths or a hat 2 da back. As if he hasn't done that his entire career?!? And there's a difference between the ladies u'll find in a FP video and the hoe's u'll find in a Nelly video. The ladies in FP's videos might show some skin from time 2 time, but they are gorgous and are presented tastefully...not strictly objects of lust. When u see a Nelly music video w/ girls, they are unattractive and don't take care of themselves, and they are wearing almost nothing. Reguardless, girls in a music video dosen't mean anything. Look at what some of the girls wore in the "WWW" music video...is that gangsta?!?
  13. Yeah, they did a few trax 4 the album...so we can definitly expect something. The album wouldn't be "found" without him. :roll:
  14. 2day is the last day 2 get all that stuff at the sale prices. When i got The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Season 1 DVD, the Sharktale DVD, and the Hitch soundtrack, it came 2 about $50.
  15. 4 those of u who went out 2 see Hitch 2day...describe your experience and what u thought about the movie. Here's my experience... I saw the late nite showing (i worked a looooong shift). I took my friend Diana and we showed up really early. There waz already a good amount of people in the theater when we got there. We got perfect seats. The entire theater quickly got packed. There were so many people in there that u could hardly hold a conversation cuz there were so many people talking. The audience waz filled with all ages, colors, and walks of life. The people who worked at the theater actually had 2 come in and make people move over 2 cram as many people as they could in the theater!! I'd never seen anything like it. The audience responded very good 2 the movie...especially the comedy. Overall, i really liked the movie. I totally related myself 2 FP's character. I often see myself as an expert on relationships and the oppisite sex...but there are definitly times when i find out i'm all wrong. The truth in the script is amazing at times. The movie has an off-beat kinda humor at times, but unless u have no imagination, u can appriciate it. There waz 1 or 2 moments where it got a lil' slow...but over all, a very good movie and a total departure from anything he's ever done. 2 those of u who are sleepin'...GO CHECK THE MOVIE THIS WEEKEND!! Let's make FP crack the number spot 3 times this year!!
  16. So, u are saying that back in 1999, when a whole bunch of Jordan Knight fans voted a New Kids On The Block song 2 number 1 on TRL, they were speaking 4 the world? C'mon, this charts and countdowns are jokes. Most of the people u participate in them are young people who don't know what real music is. That's how music by The Game and 50 Cent reach the top. As FP fans, it's our job 2 get the music out there. If it takes us voting alot of times 2 get the song on the countdowns, people will finally hear/see it and like it, which will lead 2 more people supporting it. There's thousands of possible fans, but since they haven't heard the song or seen the video, the won't vote 4 it. It's our responciblity 2 take that 1st step. My days are filled with real-world issues in life, but i still vote 4 that kinda stuff 2 get him out there. It's not just for FP, it's for Hip-Hop. Look at what's being played...it all sux!! The Game and 50 Cent are jokes. They have these lazy voices and no real lyrics. Support FP and help put a touch of flava back in Hip-Hop.
  17. That is ill...looks like da 'Prince has found his way home. Even if it isn't the album cover, it's a promo shot 4 the album which means the album cover will look very similar and have the same vibe. About that 1st cover featuring Jeff...it looks like he's standing in the middle of the road. I hope Floetry hasn't jacked the ATOJ car, he may need 2 watch his back!
  18. Yeah, i got it. The people who say that don't have the money should have known better...we've know the release date 4ever. One thing i read a few years ago is that online orders don't count towards the overall sales. Is that true?
  19. SAMANTHA MUMBA - Don't Need You To Tell Me I'm Pretty I gotta ignore the title of this song and say that she is absolutly gorgous.
  20. I don't really know what 2 expect...but i've never cared about numbers. I just think it's important 2 go out and see it the weekend it drops. I'm seeing it 2morrow nite and probably on V-Day as well.
  21. For those of you who plan on getting it, it's only $9.99 at Circuit City. It's only gonna be at that sale price for 2day (Friday) and Saturday. Save some money and get it now. I think my review is pretty honest, so unless it sounds like something u want, don't get it. From my knowledge on people's taste, i only see a few of the people on these boards liking it.
  22. Ha, my mom has a Ford Taurus 2!! Anyways, i've always loved "Y'all Know" cuz it's a straight forward rap song. It's not flashy or overdone...it's Hip-Hop at it's simplest and it served as a very cool intro 2 BWS. I'd never call it the best song, but it's defintly dope.
  23. :roll: Welcome 2 the board!! I think FP will still get by without the support of one Canadian radio station.
