The Fugees definitly have talent. They helped save Hip-Hop in '96...maybe the can do it again in '06. I'm in no rush for a new album tho'...let Lauryn's album have a year or so 2 blow up the spot. I think it's amazing that they can put all those issues aside that have lingured 4 so long and at least start talking again. That's definitly a good example 4 other groups who have parted (Eric B. + Rakim, Pete Rock + C.L. Smooth, etc). Hopefully this leads 2 a new album. Time can heal some scars.

I feel u. I don't like the idea of FP collaborating with people 2 write songs. We know he can do it...and it's his personal style of writing that's seperated him from the rest of the people in Hip-Hop. The rap cats who make the charts don't have a style these days...unless u wanna call it "crap." FP worked with Kel Spencer early on the new album...but i think this time around he has been focused on music alot more. He knows it's an important time in his music career so i'm thinkin' the co-writing on this album will be very minimal if any is on it at all. That's just my personal guess tho.'

When FP said that, AIDS waz kinda views as a temporary joke that nobody took seriously or knew much about. A few years later people finally started taking is seriously. Definitly one of the Hip-Hop's most shocking moment on wax. Thanx 4 the pix!!

The release date is almost here...i'm hyped!! I can't wait 2 blast "Got To Be Real."

I waz Will's body double 4 that scene. :sonny:

Sorry..i just can't agree on either of them. At least not in those pix.

That's great newz. If there's any truth 2 them coming back, i'm real excited. After a break like that, i'm scared they won't be able 2 do what they did b4 without dissapointing alot of people. I think Arrested Development is the only group 2 have a huge gap between albums and come back right where they left off. I'm glad 2 hear they are talking and on good terms tho.'

There waz a song by him/them that i liked that's somewhere about a year old. At least that's when it waz on the radio alot. It waz called something like "It's Been Awhile." I know the lead singer says it alot in the song. I think my brother has his/their CD.

This newz isn't anything new. If u look at the credits of Born To Reign, u can see what songs they co-wrote. If FP writes with another artist, they credit 4 their work...it's not like they are paid under the table 2 write full songs 4 him or anything. Sometimes writing in groups can be fun an inspirational (i used 2 do it when i waz younger)....but sometimes it's just lazy.

I love Nick Cannon's music. He's helped fill a big gap this year that usually remains empty. He came out with an album that didn't have cussing, it experimented with different styles of Hip-Hop, and it actually had lyrics 2 the songs that stayed on topic. Props 2 Nick Cannon on the music tip!!

What's the wrong with the word "i-d-i-o-t" anyway?!?

Yeah, the song is great. Didn't know there waz a video tho'.

Why waz my post edited?!?! :dunno: The day i use the word "knobjockey" is the day i wish 2 be hit by a car.

What an knobjockey!! I thought they were after him 4 makin some of the wackest music ever.

Kel Spencer could be one of the hottest things out. My best way 2 discribe him would be 2 throw Fresh Prince and Rakim in2 a blender, a dash of KRS-One, and a pintch of non-Deathrow 2Pac.

Hey, don't stress out about college. Just be sure 2 stay focused on your classes. When u miss 1 class, it makes it really easy 2 miss others. Also, take it from me, when u start slacking in classes, u can start hating it and losing 100s of dollars. Just be yourself and don't allow the people around u 2 change u in negative ways. I have a friend who went thru' a phase where all her "new college friends" kinda changed her, she ended up acting really phony and screwing alot of her life up. She ended up coming home 4 a summer 2 be surrounded with her real friends (who actually care about her). Since then she's got everything back on track and she happy again. That's the only advice i can give...stay focused, stay postive, and be yourself.

I think the beat is pretty decent...but he's a sad excuse 4 a rapper. Originality is the 1st and only rule in Hip-Hop, which is why almost no Rap on the charts is Hip-Hop...cuz it's incredibly un-original. This guy goes out of his way 2 sound just like Biggie. I wazn't a Biggie fan, but i gotta give him props on the way his flow waz so rhythmic. Not many rappers concentrate on that aspect of their flow anymore...so it stands out really bad when someone copies that, and also looks and sounds exactly like 'em.

[quote=WildWildWillennium,Sep 16 2004, 09:06 PM]...got me interested in the producer side of Nick Cannon. [/quote] Yeah, i support his music and his acting but i didn't know he waz getting deep in 2 producing. This is the start and this a good way 2 start. The beat isn't bad at all. Great choice of a chorus-sample 2.

Oh yeah...how could i 4get that. :roll:

Nice site...however, that big pic of FP kinda looks like he really needs 2 go 2 the bathroom and as he waz approaching it, someone put and "Out of Order" sign on the door.

Brian McKnight "Thinkin' 'Bout Me"

During interviews that he did during the release of Willennium, he said he'd only collaborate with artists who were intellegent enuff 2 participate on his album without cussing. FP has high standards 4 his music. A few of his collaborations have artists that simply aren't on his level, he's not gonna let them trash his album up 2 bad.

I'm not dissing Nelly cuz of this line, i diss him cuz his music is garbage. However, this line is just ignorant. How is he gonna associate himself with a verteran in Hip-Hop who has stayed busy 4 years by being a positive person?

Thanx 4 this feel-good newz. U know how Will says music, movies, and entertainment are a stepping stool 4 his greater calling in life? This is what he means. Don't get me wrong, i live 4 his music, but using his talent, skillz, and power as an entertainter 2 step beyond entertainment 2 help make a differerence in peoples lives...that's what it's all about. That what he means when he say "Born To Reign."

I waz watching 106 + Park and Lil' Romeo's new video hit number 9. Nick Cannon produced the beat. At 1st i thought it waz really light weight, but by the middle of the song i loved the beat. He then speeds up and samples the hook from Shai's early 90's R-N-B classic "If I Ever Fall In Love." I'm a big Shai fan myself and wazn't offeneded at all that he used it cuz it comes across real nice. Nick in the background and lip syncing the chorus. :roll: Tatyana Ali also has a cameo in it...looking as good as ever. I didn't really pay attention 2 Lil' Romeo...but check the song.
