Brand Nubian - Always Mine (i love this joint...i can relate 2 this one all 2 well) p.s. Tim, do u know what song they sampled 4 this track?!? I know u are good at finding the originals...let me know if u know what song they sampled cuz i wanna hear it. Props 2 Brand Nubian...they believe in this crazy idea of making songs that are about something. And each song has it's own topic so lyrically it dosen't sound like the same song the whole way thru' the album. Another good step 4 real Hip-Hop.

When u read or hear an interview from FP, LL, Chuck D, KRS-One, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, etc, u can see that the person on wax is the same person in real life. Hip-Hop is based on being true 2 yourself and being original. It's sad 2 hear an interview by an entertainer and their personality in person is nothing like how they are in their music. That's fake...that's not Hip-Hop. Nearly evey commerical rapper out there is phoney and usually just being a ignorant individual comes along with that territory. I've seen interviews with Nelly and other popular cats. Those guys are just dumb...period.

Well, the post wazn't funny at all...until the posting of the bunny with a pancake on it's head...that's this posts only salvagable quality.

Have y'all seen the commercial for the SharkTale soundtrack? It has parts of the movie showing thru' out most of it...including the part where Oscar (FP) is sining u can't touch this and doing the chinese typewriter!!! :roll: Anyways, it mentions the biggest players on the album (Christina, Missy, Mary, FP, etc and it shows short clips of them in the studio. It then mentions that it's out in stores. Check 4 it!! I saw it on MTV.

I don't know what y'all mean by simple. Much of FP's style is taken from his early days where rhymes were more straight forward...but on that note, who is actually complex...not anybody who has an album on the top of the charts. Emcee's like J-Live and Talib Kweli have more complex rhymes...but they aren't commercial emcees.

HAPPY B-DAY FRESH PRINCE!!

Hmmmm...i don't know how i feel about that. Interscope hasn't really made noise since the early/mid 90's. Since then alot of artists left them and they havn't generated much success think, with the exception of who they distribute. Interscope used 2 distribute Overbrook before. Then they fell thru' which screwed up the release of MC Lyte and Tra-Knox. I hope FP knows what he's doing. I just hope "Got To Be Real" isn't on the album and that this is a mix-up in info or that they are recording a different track 2gether. Since "Got To Be Real" is an MJB song featuring FP, maybe Mary returned the favor by singing on one of of his album trax (which would be dope!). Big ?uestion....WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF THIS INFO!??!?!

Thanx 4 posting that. No new newz in there...but it's another confirmation that we have someting 2 look forward 2.

Last Friday there waz a tornados touching down in my area. I waz driving 2 the next city in the middle of it. My friends were telling me 2 stay home but i had plans that i wazn't cancelling. They kept calling me on my cell telling me about the tornados but i waz like "whatever...no big deal...i got this...etc" At one point, i looked 2 my left and huge, dark, werid-looking clump of clouds waz a few miles away from me. I just kept saying "oh crap" and looking out the side of my window...ha ha. I waz doing like 80 miles and hour in the pouring rain just tryna get 2 the next city b4 my car got snatched up off the road.

Thanx!!! I've been a Cool J fan as long as i can remember. I love readin' what's on the mind of my favorite artists. I wish more emcees and rappers could sound like this in interviews. LL is candid, open, intellegent, and positive. U don't see that 2 much these days. U read and interview with Ja-Rule, G-Unit, Nelly, etc and they sound like foul-mouthed, ignorant 1st graders...it's embarassing.

Happy B-Day!!

[quote=mfuqua23,Sep 23 2004, 07:52 PM]in my head... DMX "Shorty Was Da Bomb" (just the chorus part)[/quote] Dope song!! Right now i'm listening 2 "Voice of Love." It's a group of of Hip-Hop and R-N-B artists from Japan who did this huge posse track with inspirational lyrics...half of them are in English and half are Japanese. T-Boz and Chilli of TLC are also on the track but it's not well known. Dope song tho.'

I don't think FP ever slipped. His life has changed, Hip-Hop has changed. Throughout it all, he's kept his game up and never sold out his audience. The only selling-out ever done waz his fanbase 2 him.

It's not that big of a deal here when we are sharing with each other...but some people will share and give stuff away 2 anybody. Back when Napster waz big...FP's stuff waz all over the internet. Born To Reign waz easy 2 download also and look at how it did. Reguardless of the promotion and the musical experiments, there is no excuse 4 those kinda sales from a vet who's been successfull 4 so many year. I think it's quite obvious when artists like Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Toni Braxton, and TLC are barely (or not even) hitting platnium that there is something wrong.

Dead weight is no fun. Maybe if they got e-mails from the board saying that their membership will be terminated due 2 lack of activness, it might get a few of them posting.

The Eminem topic is old and beaten 2 death. All i can say is this...the Eminem 2004 isn't the Eminem of 2000.

I only download unathorized stuff. DJ-made remixes, interviews, live performances. Downloading album music is wack and wrong....period.

VH-1 is giving props 2 Hip-Hop this October. I'm not totally sure about the dates...but i think something like Hip-Hop Week starts October 4th...and then on the 12th they are having VH-1's Hip-Hop Honors where they are paying tribute and/or giving awards, and featuring 2 Run-DMC, Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash, 2Pac, and more. Keep in mind that VH-1 started out as a network for an adult contemporary audience and has gotten hipper thru' out the 90's 2 what they are like now. They would have never touched Hip-Hop so this is actually kinda cool. And they definitly will do a better job than MTV would.

I waz listening 2 The Roots "Things Fall Apart." It waz kinda funny. I waz over at my friend's house. She's a blue eyed blonde from Alaska. I've only ever heard her listening 2 rock music and hasn't been exposed 2 real Hip-Hop culture or music ever. I waz going thru' all her music cuz she told me 2 put somethin' in....out of all these rock CDs...she had The Roots. I flipped out and popped it in. It waz just so funny 2 me that she had it.

It sounds like a really cool accomplishment, but when only a few of those people post, it kinda ruins it. After a year of enactivity, i think those peeps should get kicked out as a member.

[quote=2fresh,Sep 23 2004, 01:28 AM]have you heard the lyrics to The Real SLim SHady he disses the hell outa WILL.[/quote] Not exactly...one indirect diss at Will from a rapper u can't take 2 seriously dosen't make 2 much noize amoungst people over the age of 17.

Welcome 2 the board...and watch your language.

I checked that when i saw this post...but it wazn't anything associated with him.

I waz hopin' for "Switch" comin' out by now...but i didn't totally expect it. All of Will's music projects get bumped back. This isn't anything new. I've gotten past the point where i expect it 2 drop any day. It'll drop when it drops...i'm not 2 excited anymore. I know i will be when it drops but until then, there is no point buggin' out about it. I'm tired of seeing "Switch" topics poppin' up on the board when there isn't anything new 2 say about it.
