It would be crazy if JJ+FP opened the show. I think it would catch everyone off guard and be a huge event.
-
I wouldn't mind hearing a rock-edge remix of some of his trax...but no serious rock trax. They would have 2 be produced by Jam Master Jay or Rick Rubin. Other than that...NO WAY!!

I think FP and LL have always been the perfect combination 4 a collabo...but it's NEVER happened. They have tons of similarities and tons differences. I think the fact that they have been making music so long, have conqoured film and TV, AND are both great people in general are the main factors which lead 2 other similarities.
LL actually desided 2 make 10 a lyrically clean album becuz they had that Hip-Hop Summit meeting in 2001 (which Will also attended) and they talked about lyrical content, subject matter, how emcees/rappers approach songs, and so on. LL said he walked away from that saying he waz gonna proove he could do his part and stick 2 it. It waz also his milestone album and wanted it 2 be a respectable project. LL has always gone back and forth between lyrically clean album and explict stuff. His 1st 3 were almost totally clean with only a few words tossed out. Mama Said Knock You Out waz totally clean and so waz it's follow up 14 Shots To The Dome. Mr. Smith waz kinda eplicit as waz Phenomenon. G.O.A.T. waz probably his most explict. After his artistic Phenomenon waz hot 4 a moment then faded...he desided 2 regroup and keep it street...giving some fans what they were missing. I think 10 is a masterpeice and not just becuz i love Hip-Hop that dosen't rely on cussing. I got the impression that his new project will be similar 2 10. 10 isn't even 2 years old and he didn't do any serious re-grouping. He's had a good 2 years with the success of 10, Deliver Us From Eva, S.W.A.T., and so on. I think he's still in the mindstate of keeping things respectable and true 2 himself. We only have a lil over 2 weeks 2 find out. -
I don't think any of their material is wack...but there's "Boom! Shake The Room" and then there's "The Rain"...know what i mean. But one thing that's great about JJ+FP is that they can do a track that is deep, instrospective, and serious like "Shadow Dreams" or "The Rain" and then do a carefree mainstream track like "Boom! Shake The Room" or "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It." JJ+FP wouldn't be the same without being able 2 cover all those bases. Most artists/groups do only one kinda song...which i think gets boring real quick.

Oh yeah...2 those who just want a "Will Smith" solo album. I may have 2 tie u 2 a chair...and then kick u until u die. Have a nice day. :sonny:
-
No offence but... S T U P I D Q U E S T I O N!! :roll:
I've been wanting a new JJ+FP album since the mid-90's. I'll support whatever they do tho'....so i'm happy 2 get anything new from either of them. JJ+FP returing would be a great thing 4 both of them and 4 Hip-Hop music in general. -
Congratz on getting those single. Nothing is better than owning the official stuff. Finding stuff like old singles at good prices is always nice. The Instravibe of "Ring My Bell" is nice. I also have the shorter version off an import single.
I got music in the mail 2day also but it's not JJ+FP related. I got the album "100% Haterproof" but The Unit featuring Queen Latifah and a Jon B sampler that features a remix of "Cool Relax" that features Guru..i've been wanting this since 1999!! -
Yeah!! Post it!! :poke:
Thanx In Advance!!

Good point!! Thanx 4 serving as a voice 4 me while i'm having problems accessing the board. -
If i can get back on the board later, i'll discribe it. A 2Pac fan can appricate it 4 what it is...but it's pretty much crap. No surprise. Another "classic" from Deathrow.
-
I don't really have a choice...i think they are both pretty average compared 2 everything else on Code Red. Usually when i make compilation CDs, i use Jazzy Jeff's Block Party Mix which is the Street Remix scratched up by Jazzy Jeff or Mr. Lee's Mixes which are just the album version with some additional production.
-
Homebase waz the 1st album i got when it waz new. Before then i got a copy of He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper from my friends older sister. I had the other singles from cousin who taped everything off the radio. After i got Homebase...i went back and got all the other albums. Of course this waz 1991 and i waz still buying cassettes, so i had 2 get all that stuff on CD in the late 90's. Code Red waz the 1st album i got on CD. I had no idea when Code Red came out (tho' i knew it waz comin' out) so i went 2 the mall pretty much every day for a month until it came out. My mom could have killed me 4 all that driving back and forth. It waz cool tho' cuz all my friend heard it and when out and got the album. I can't believe it took so long 2 go platnium cuz i probalby know a million people who bought it shortly after it came out. :roll:
-
He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper (1988...actually copied from my friends older sister).
Homebase - 1991
Rock The House, He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper, And In This Corner... - 1991
Code Red (1993)
Since then i got all their stuff the day it dropped...except for Big Willie Style which i got 2 days b4 it dropped. -
Yeah, overseas, they released a "Boom! Shake The Room" CD single with a club remix of it done in 1995 (2 years after the single's impact). It waz remixed by Hula (Summertime, A Dog Is A Dog, I'm Looking For The One (To Be With Me). Pretty good club remix.
-
If huge success comes with this new album, i wouldnt' be surprised if another compilation would come out. However, it would be along the lines of the Will Smith "Greatest Hits" album with a bonus or 2 if we were lucky.
I hate the idea of any project that JJ and/or FP not involved with cuz it won't be put 2gether properly and it won't but up 2 their standards.
Remastering all 5 albums and the JJ+FP Greatest Hits album and releasing them is a good idea. I don't think any albums with rarities, concerts, or anything should be released without JJ+FP involved. I think that stuff should only be produced in limited qualities 4 the fans and not 4 the public 2 just get cuz there's a reason that stuff waz never released in the 1st place...cuz it waz never meant 4 public release when it waz new and fresh. -
I've liked De La Soul since they came out...but it waz 1996 when i really really got in2 them. It waz a point where i hated mainstream rap. It waz awful. Then, De La dropped their video in early summer 1996 for "Stakes Is High." They stressed everything i waz feeling. Here's the lyrics 2 the song.
DE LA SOUL - Stakes Is High
[Pos]
The instamatic focal point bringing damage to your boroughs
Be some brothers from the east with some beats that be thorough
Got the solar gravitation so I'm bound to pull it
I gets down like brothers are found ducking from bullets
Gun control means using both hands in my land
Where it's all about the cautious livin'
Migrating to a higher form of consequence, compliments
Of strugglin', that shouldn't be notable
Man every word I say should be a hip hop quotable
[Dove]
I'm sick of b!+tches shakin' @$$es
I'm sick of talkin' about blunts
Sick of Versace glasses
Sick of slang
Sick of half-ass awards shows
Sick of name brand clothes
Sick of R&B b!+ches over bull$#!+ tracks
Cocaine and crack
Which brings sickness to blacks
Sick of swoll' head rappers
With their sicker-than raps
Clappers and gats
Makin' the whole sick world collapse
The facts are gettin' sick
Even sicker perhaps
Stickabush to make a bundle to escape this synapse
[Pos]
Man life can get all up in your @$$ baby you betta work it out
Let me tell you what it's all about
A skin not considered equal
A meteor has more right than my people
Who be wastin' time screaming who they've hated
That's why the Native Tongues have officially been re-instated
(Vibes....vibrations)

You know them stakes is high

(Hey yo, what about that love?)
[Pos]
Yo, it's about love for cars, love for funds
Loving to love mad sex, loving to love guns
Love for opposite, love for fame and wealth
Love for the fact of no longer loving yourself, kid
We living in them days of the man-made ways
Where every aspect is vivid
these brothers no longer talk $#!+
Hey yo, these n!**@s live it
'Bout to give it to you 24/7 on the microphone
Plug One translating the zone
No offense to a player, but yo, I don't play
And if you take offense, f*c* it, got to be that way
J.D. Dove, show your love, what you got to say?
[Dove]
I say G's are making figures at a high regard
And n!**@s dying for it nowadays ain't odd
Investing in fantasies and not God
Welcome to reality, see times is hard
People try to snatch the credit, but can't claim the card
Showing out in videos, saying they cold stars
See, $#!+ like that will make your mama cry
Better watch the way you spend it
'Cause the stakes is high
Y'all know them stakes is high

Stakes is high
I think that smiling in public is against the law
'Cause love don't get you through life no more
It's who you know and "How you, son?"
And how you gettin' in, and who the man holding
Hey yo, and how was the scams and how high
Yo what up, huh? I heard you caught a body
Seem like every man and woman shared a life with John Gotti
[Pos]
But they ain't organized!
[Dove]
Mixing crimes with life enzymes
Taking the big scout route
And n!**s know doubt better
Than they know their daughters
And their sons
(Oh boy)
[Pos]
Yo, people go through pain and still don't gain
Positive contact just like my main man
Who got others cleaning up his physical influence
His mind got congested
He got the nine and blew it
Neighborhoods are now hoods cause nobody's neighbors
Just animals surviving with that animal behavior
Under I who be rhyming from dark to light sky
Experiments when needles and skin connect
No wonder where we live is called the projects
When them stakes is high you damn sure try to do
Anything to get the piece of the pie
Electrify
Even die for the cash
But at last I be out even though you wantin' more
This issue is closed like an elevator door
But soon re-opened once we get to the next floor where the

Stakes is high, come on
Reading the lyrics is one thing...check the song!! One of the best Hip-Hop songs ever recorded after 1995. -
Yeah, i waz happy they re-ran that episode.
-
Yeah, i got that issue somewhere. I can't believe some of the stuff they left off but the list really isn't that bad.
-
My opinion (so no one wig out)
Nas - came out very promising. Since then he's learned how 2 survive by making alot of average music and a few good trax. He's new single SUX!!! Why would he turn back on his early fans by making some of the newer stuff he has?!
Jay-Z - smart bizness man when it comes 2 his label and clothing line...awful flow and often boring lyrics
Eminem - use 2 be a lyrical witty genious. His career has been on a downward spiral since 2000. Lyrics that used 2 be funny, complex and creative have turned in 2 annoying, repetative, and immature crap. I know he probably still has it in him but will he use it? Smart enuff 2 have a clothing line, label, and building a producing career...but it's 2 early 2 see if it's adding up 2 anything.
50 Cent - commercial rapper, often very phoney and never creative. G-Unit is the biggest joke since Junior M.A.F.I.A. and Harlem World. Music is garbage and clothing line is actually just regular Wal-Mart cloths with "G-Unit" printed on it.
Nelly, Juvinile, Loon, Ja-Rule, Chingy, Trina, Remy, Lil' Scrappy ...why do these cats even exist?!?
Back in the day, emcees came out making good music, staying true 2 themselves, all their songs sounded different and on top of that...they all had talent. 2 some people, that means nothing...but 4 those of us who were down with Hip-Hop back then, music waz just incredible back then.
THANK GOD 4 JJ+FP, LL COOL J, RAKIM, BLACK EYED PEAS and all of the victems of the rap game who have fallen off thanx 2 the way TV and radio has turned their back on them. -
I couldn't believe this when i 1st read it. Am i the only one that is kinda disappointed that they are working on a trashy, cheezy project like this?!

Supposedly, 2Pac is putting out a "Live" album 2day. I'm gonna pick it up either way but i waz wondering if anybody knew anything about it. The album cover i saw looked pretty boring which makes me think it's a crappy Deathrow album. Afenie and her camp usually put 2gether quality 2Pac stuff with what they have 2 work with, but Deathrow seems 2 only care about the money they can make off him by ruining his legacy with their garbage projects like the "Nu-Mixx Klazzixxx" remix album. I know their are some 2Pac fans here...so here's a heads up. If the album comes out, it'll be on sale for $10.99 at Circute City this week.

De La Soul is one of Hip-Hop's best groups. If u've ever heard A Tribe Called Quest or The Jungle Brothers...their stuff is on the same level (they are a part of the same click Native Tongues). Their 1st 3 albums don't have explict lyric stickers. Their 4 dosen't either but it pretty much earned it. Their last 2 do have them and the cussing is borderline. It's not over done, but don't let that fool ya. U really should get their greatest hits album. That way u can get a taste of their old stuff and new stuff and see if u like it. I've seen them live and they put on a good show (just 2 turntables and 2 microphones...cuz their's 2 emcees...ha ha).
They got lyrics 4 everybody tho.' They got Hip-Hop party joints, they have socially concious lyics and they got witty, comical stuff 2. They are one of the few true skool artists who keep pressin' on. If u are like me and don't alot of cussing, there are edited versions of their albums.
It's funny u made this post cuz i just picked up De La Soul's Live At Tramps, NYC, 1996 CD 2nite which came out about 2 months ago. Here is what it says at the end of their show 2 give u a taste of where they are comin' from...
"We want 2 thank all of y'all 4 not 4getting what Hip-Hop is. Y'all made that $#!+ 4 real 2nite...Everybody talkin' about 'keep it real'...this is real right here, alright? White, black, orange, purple, green, blue, yellow up in here, enjoying themselves and havin' a good time. Put that ignorant $#!+ outta here. We don't wanna duck from guns. We don't wanna call our women ho's. We don't wanna call our brothas 'n!gg@s.' Hip-Hop, 4 real, i-ight!! Ban the bull$#!+ and get down with this band, i-ight! Native Tongues, we outta here...peace!" -
I love every lyric of that song...he answers everything Canibus said and reminds him how corny that song waz using Mike Tyson on it (who can take anything Mike Tyson says seriously?!?). L.L. just rips the song and humiliates Canibus in every sense of the word. Not many songs are as ruthless as this one in my opinion.
-
Will and J.L. run it i believe. Somewhere on my other computer i have the e-mail address of someone who waz high on the food chain of employees (how'd u like that job title discription...ha ha). Like Tim said, they havn't had much luck in the music department so i don't think they are focusing on it at all (other than puttin Will's project 2gether).
