I've seen every episode except for 1990 (and maybe 1991)...Jazzy Jeff is on every episode i think. The few things i remember him talking about waz William Shatner paintballing and Shaggy's "Boombastic." He did a hilarious but weak impression going "Mr lova love......hmmmmmmm." When they talked about Montell Jodran's single "This Is How We Do It," he said he went 2 visit his mom and she waz singing and dancing 2 it...which made him uncomfortable. :roll:

This Saturday, BET is having a Fresh Prince-athon. It starts at 9 a.m. and they are airing 9 hours of episodes back 2 back. Check it!!

lambert thinks anyone who speaks there mind and dosen't like Eminem and G-Unit is hilarious. I guess he finds are advanced look on Hip-Hop strange and low-tolerance 4 trash funny.

I know what u mean. When i hear some of the beats Ja-Rule has gotten, i could totally see an emcee with skill taking that beat and making an incredible song with it. "New York" and that track he did with Bobby Brown are the few i remember. Nelly's song "Dillema" is pretty good in my opinion, but i can just imagin how a real emcee coulda really turned that kinda beat out. Alot of legends these days get ripped off when it comes 2 production, and this talented producers are adding 2 the problems by giving dope beats 2 fake-rappers. Producers are selling out 4 money like rappers have been for years.

DJ JAZZY JEFF - Da Rebirth

Oh yeah, i plan on sleeping all day Saturday so that i'll be awake all nite. We are gonna try 2 go 2 Ray's b4 we go 2 the club. That's the place were they invented the Philly Cheesesteak. :roll:

I think most fake-thugs in the industry change their opinion of FP once they meet him. Whether they diss him or think he's Hollywood, they soon see him 4 what he really is. A very intellegent, down 2 earth, and positive Hip-Hop head. I think most of them are kinda starstruck when they meet him. 1st cuz he's one of the biggest celebrities in the world, 2ndly cuz he started out just like them, as a rap star and they see themselves as possibly following in his path.

:ditto: My point exactly. Besides, 2 me, Willennium waz clever word play. 2050 is just a number...and one a looooooooong way from 2005. Can't this fool even count?!?

i came across that same thing last nite. I didn't feel like registering 2 the site 2 put my name in so i didn't. I'm probably going anyway...i'm so hyped, i'm hoping my plans don't fall apart like last year.

That's really cool. Most people that diss FP havn't heard any of his music other than the singles. And we all know Columbia didn't push 4 the best songs while he waz with them. There's a difference in saying something is wack cuz u've heard it and don't like it and saying it's wack just 2 say it, without even having any knowledge on the topic.

...sounds like someone went 4 the ever-popular "get big name producers 2 overshadow my lack of skillz" tactic.

On the track "We Good" featuring Kardinal Offishall, he drops a line refuring 2 the The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. It goes as follows... "Gun-finger in the air, shooting blanks thinkin' about the day i could live next to Phil Banks" Just thought i'd share.

It's long over due, but i FINALLY picked up Pete Rock's new album "Soul Survivor II." The intro 2 the album, which is a spoken work track by Black Ice (who i saw speak live in B-more when i say Musiq) waz actually recorded by DJ Jazzy Jeff. Of course it waz produced by Pete Rock, but it's kinda cool 2 know that they are cool enuff that Pete Rock had the track recorded by Jeff at A Touch of Jazz. Pete Rock thanks Jazzy Jeff in the Thank U's and so dose BBE in theres. The rest of this post has nothing 2 do with Jazzy Jeff....just the album. Pete Rock dose it again!! Quality, timeless, Hip-Hop. Every beat is good...if not great. Some of the artists on the album didn't impress me much but the majority are talented. Talib Kweli, Jay Dee (J-Dilla), Slum Village, and Pharoahe Monch shine the most in my opinion. The real gems how ever are the 2 Pete Rock + C.L. Smooth trax. Technically there are 3 but Talib Kweli takes all the verses and C.L. is just on the hook. Anyone starving for some non-commercial yet, not underground Hip-Hop, u should really give this album a listen. I think Jeff's album is better than Pete's current one, but i compare it 2 the Pete Rock + C.L. Smooth albums as i compare Jazzy Jeff's album 2 the JJ+FP albums. U WANT the group 2 be 2gether as a unit, but u are just happy 2 have some good music by a legend u grew up on musically. Pete Rock dosen't really rap on this album. Sure, he waz never the lyrical one, but i expected a few rhymes from him. He only adlibs a lil' and takes a hook here and there. Not much DJ's either. Just dope beats and some underground and true skool talent. There's even a current Pete Rock + C.L. Smooth pic inside the insert.

Wow! That sounds amazing...wish i had digital cable.

PETE ROCK + C.L. SMOOTH - It's A Love Thing Pete Rock + CL for 2004...that's what i'm talking about. SKILLZ PEOPLE!!

Don't get me wrong, i'll still listen 2 the album in a record store cuz i try 2 be open 2 everything....but after what u said about the DVD, he sounds like every other ignorant loser with a record deal. When i like an artist, only some of it is becuz of their talent. The person they are, where the come from, and what they say is the main reason. I like JJ+FP cuz i like where they come from, what they say in their music. It may not be what some people want, but they remind me of myself and say things that i can relate 2. Some fool worshiping jewlery, toting guns, selling drugs, and sexin' every slutty female they meet ain't nothing 2 brag about. First i'll say they are living lies, and if they aren't, they aren't living right. THeir music is poison 2 the young, impressionable minds that hear their rubbish. Why am i gonna support a loser like this?!?!

bigted, yet another post i agree with u on. Back in the day, the industry wasn't the same. Singles were put out all the time, shows were done differently, radio waz the main source of what waz good. These days it's very closed 2 who can get success in Hip-Hop/Rap. It's who u know and has nothing 2 do with talent. Public Enemy and other acts like that are legendary. U won't find their recent albums at the top of the charts, but u will find them in stores, 100s of fans at their concerts, and u'll read props 2 them in Hip-Hop magazines. Has anyone ever read or heard anyone give G-Unit or Chingy props for their lyrical ability or amazing production. No way...cuz they don't have anything good 2 offer. Only their mislead fans have good things 2 say about them. Anyone who says 50 Cent, Ja-Rule, Nelly, or any of those other fools are some of the best artists in Rap history have seriously malnurished ears. They get fed crap, but it's nothing good 4 the soul.

All About The Funk is a wack title...no matter how u look like it. JJ+FP waz never about "the funk." There's no old skool ties 2 the title, just a lack of creativity. Thank goodness it looks like this waz a horrible typo. I didn't really believe it, but it's still a sigh of relief.

Yeah, all of Dr. Dre's recent production is really boring. It's not bad, it's just nothing new. It isn't as heavy and thick like it used 2 be. I give him props where props are due...but his style, lyrics, and light-weight production has his old skool fans wanting alot more than what he's giving. Eminem and 50 Cent definitly aren't the right way 2 go either.

I like the soundtrack. Unless the soundtrack waz gonna be strictly new songs, i didn't really want FP on it anyway. I can't wait 2 hear the new songs/remixes by Amerie, John Legend, Omarion, Kevin Lyttle, Earth, Wind, + Fire w/ Kelly Rowland + Sleepy Brown. I also, that Heavy D + The Boyz song is one of my fav songs of all time. And when it comes 2 the oldies, i LOVE the Temptations and Martha Reeves + The Vandellas. I didn't check that link yet (i am after i make this post). I hope it drops soon!!

Ahhhh!!!! I 4got it started airing last nite. They will definitly re-run it alot in the next few weeks. I can't wait 2 see it. Since he waz in the 1st episode of the 2nd installment, there's a good chance he'll pop in here and there for the rest of this set. Hopefully this'll attract some fans back 2 this site and he's own.

That may be the stupidest album title i've heard in awhile. To have a title like that, the album has 2 be layered with funk. It dosen't sound like "Switch" would be supporting that. I seriously hope this source is full of crap. A February release as another stupid idea...unless they start promoting NOW.

Yeah, the lack of effort in their careers is amazing. Have u seen the live shows rappers up on?!?! Look at any Ja-Rule, 50 Cent live set. There's nothing 2 it. I've seen Ludacris live and it nearly put me 2 sleep. But i've also seen JJ+FP, Black Eyed Peas, TLC, Wyclef and others live as well. They really put a show on. Effort equals quality.

Yeah, he told Martin 2 control his behavior on the set of movies cuz he could ruin his career if he didn't control his temper. I think since FP is so down 2 earth, it's much easier 2 listen 2 him. He cares about his friends and since he is talented and successful and still the same person he waz when he started all this, it's much easier 2 respect him.

...or Dr. Evil. :roll:
