Daedalus, thanx 4 posting those quotes cuz now i know what we are talking about now. Those people are insane and none of them have any power in this country so i don't see any kinda twisted revolution on the rise at all. And there is definitly no connection beween them and Kanye's song. That's just silly. As a Christian, i think those people quoted above are jokes and infact are NOT really Christians tho' they think they might be. Spiritualism is one of those things where there are legit followers and then there are the people who are so wrapped up in the media and making themselves look good that they 4get everything that it's about...if they were ever spiritual in the 1st place.

:roll: Thanx 4 posting that. What in Nelly's mind allows him 2 think he talk mess about anybody in the game, much less someone like KRS-One. He's gotta be one of the dumbest people with a label deal.

I'm interested in everything Will dose...but this sitcom producing thing goes at the bottom of that list. I won't care about it until the show finally airs.

When i saw Musiq last nite...the DJ played that song not once by twice. Of all the songs they played, "Golden" got the most crowd reaction. Hearing it played in person and not over the computer made me fall in love with the song. Hearing music over the computer sucks all the soul out of it.

THANX!! ...but why in the world dose Will have a bra in his hand? :eek4: 1 things 4 sure...that ain't Jada's! :speechless:

I don't think his voice had anything 2 do with. For the past 4 years (at that point) it waz lower. I think the fact that flash-in-the-pan gangsta rap artists were getting all the attention waz the main problem (just like with And In This Corner...). On top of that, people didn't see JJ+FP in their face musically as much as they used 2. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air had been on the air 4 so long and Will's acting started taking off so that makes some people find it hard 2 accept his skillz in music. Imagin if Code Red waz huge tho'...it would have probably kept alot of trash from getting record deals and we people would have had a great mid-90's album from them around 1996.

I 4get where the interview waz from but i KNOW i read it (and didn't hear it or watch it on TV). I think Code Red SOUNDS likes his most confident stuff...but inside his head i guess he waz just wondering if he could keep doing this.

HA!!! What a coincedence. The new 213 video "Groupie Luv" just came on. Not a bad song at all. Fun bouncey kinda joint. Video is pretty funny 2. It amazing that about 10 years after they were runnin' what waz on the charts, they FINALLY release a full album. It waz these cats that kept hardcore Hip-Hop going while gangsta trash started coming out like crazy. These guys ain't scared 2 smile and dance around like fools...that's why they outlasted all the other people thrown in that gangsta rap category.

2day i've been listening 2 alot of A Touch of Jazz stuff and Philly artists (Kenny Lattimore, Jill Scott, Dwele, Floetry) and most Musiq cuz i'm seeing perform live in a few hours!!

"Regulate" waz huge. It blazed thru' the summer. Warren G + Nate Dogg have a chemistry kinda like JJ+FP...they just go 2gether tho' they can stand on their own. "This DJ" waz another classic single, followed by "Do You See" and "So Many Ways" from the Bad Boys soundtrack (original version is on his album). In 1999, Nate Dogg + Warren G dropped "Nobody Dose It Better" off the Woo soundtrack (yeah, the movie Jada did in 1998). I'm kinda interested in the new 213 album...but i'm thinkin' their new stuff wont' be as good as their old stuff. Warren G's music isn't the straight Hip-Hop i usually vibe with, but his stuff has always had that foundation and he just put it in2 that G-Funk style.

Alright...time 2 come clean. Me and Tim are DJ Jazzy Jeff + Fresh Prince. I knew someone would blow our cover soon. :roll: 4 real tho'...4 some reason i'm having problems accessing the board (i havn't been here in 2 or 3 days) so i'm not sure how often i'll be posting if this continues.

The only people offended by the song would be non-Christians who aren't confident in their own beliefes. If they aren't Christians and they are comfortable and totally confident in what they believe in, then they would just ignore the song. Only people who don't know what they believe in and people who wanna knock Christianity would have anything negative 2 say about the song. I don't what u mean by "Christian extremism" tho'.

Thanx 4 posting those...is it just me or are these recent pix a site for sore eyes?!?

"Boom! Shake The Room" waz a standard hit in the US, but it waz huge all over the world. "I'm Looking For The One (To Be With Me)" waz never supported by TV or radio and neither waz "I Wanna Rock." JJ+FP did spots on TV (interviews and performances) but it never seemed 2 be enuff. The media waz so caught up with Dr. Dre, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Ice Cube and so on that they didn't give straight Hip-Hop a fair chance. "Twinkle Twinkle" and "Can't Wait To Be With You" were released overseas but i don't think any of the other singles generated any following overseas. I think Code Red is right their on the level of Homebase and He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper. It's JJ+FP for the mid-90's. It's JJ+FP at their most relaxed. They had the party joint (Boom!), the feel good joint (I'm Looking For The One), the DJ/rapper cut (I Wanna Rock), the story-telling song (Code Red) and the rest of just JJ+FP of the time. Will himself says the album didn't do so well cuz he wazn't lyrically as confident as he waz on past albums (probably due 2 the rise of gangsta rap, wondering if he waz relevant anymore) which produced a weak run 4 the album.

I grew up pretty determined 2 keep things positive. I learned from my friends mistakes rather than making a whole lot myself. I hardly got in any fightes or experimented with any substances. As i think back on it, alot of that probably came from having role models like JJ+FP, LL, Kid 'N Play, MC Hammer, etc...cuz they were all positive and didn't talk about that stuff, and if they did, it waz almost always in a positive way shunning it. I can only imagin young kids coming up now listening 2 Ludacris, 50 Cent, Jay-Z, and so on. All they talk about is sex, drugs, alcohol, and violence. Most of the time it's glorifying that stuff so these kids are coming up thinking all this stuff is good and that it's something they should get involved in. Not alot of young people are strong enuff 2 be themselves so they are copying off of these losers and risking screwing up the rest of their lives cuz of a ignorant rap record. After that thought, i'm thankful for the positive, smart, intellegent people that i grew up listening 2. They probably reinforced me staying on the right track.

Most of his beats are genious. They have samples but don't rely on them like most songs. He just made music that felt good 2 chill 2 and ride 2 (which makes me really wish we heard the trax he did with Will for Big Willie Style). On thing that i like the most about Warren G is how he reminsces in his music alot. Since not all of us come from the same place, not everyone can relate 2 his stuff...but when he talks about back in the day...man, it just takes me there...back 2 the 80's.

I think "Jesus Walks" is a great song...i just don't like the produciton that much. It's good, just not what i like. It's a powerful song tho' and it's definitly a change from what usually gets played on the radio. I don't think Jadakiss' "Why" is fake...but i think it's forced. I admire him 4 tackling topics in a song that actually matter (unlike much of his music)...but 2 me he comes off as trying 2 make a powerful song....trying 2 make the song deep when it should come natural. Not a bad song, it's just that after u hear so many raps from him that don't mean anything, it's hard 2 adjust 2 a song that says something.

Alot of people have brought this up in the past. Who knows. When u 1st gain a year, sometimes it's easy 2 4get u are a year older.

[quote=WildWildWillennium,Aug 2 2004, 08:32 PM]He did the same thing with Big Willie Style, he used Independance Day and Men In Black to promote it, and the result 4 the album waz huge!![/quote] I don't know....Columbia totally used "Men In Black" the song as promotion 4 the movie. I bet u that song drew in about 25% of the people who saw that movie...and with a movie that did that well...that waz millions of people!! I don't see how ID4 or MIB really helped the music. I waz so happy 2 hear new music from Will that the soundtrack song didn't bug me, but i always viewed the song as helping the movie and not the movie helping his music.

2day i popped in the 1994 classic from Warren G "Regulate...G Funk Era." People toss him in a class of gangsta rappers since he came out during the gangsta rap boom following the drop of The Chonic. However, this music is definitly not trashy gangsta rap. The production is great (even 2 this day). Thick beats, funk samples, smooth backgrounds with Warren G's laidback, sing-songy vocals. It's loaded with trax that kept us nodding our heads thru' the summertime like Regulate, This DJ, So Many Ways, and trax that served as the soundtrack 4 spending time in the basment with songs like Do You See and Runnin' Wit No Breaks. For anyone who loves real west coast Hip-Hop, if u never heard this album...CHECK IT OUT!! Straight from the summer of '94.

:switch: Happy B-Day!! :ridepony:

Yeah, and in Deliver Us From Eva (love that movie), he goes by James Todd Smith aka L.L. Cool J. He's taking baby steps i guess. Now that i htink about it, he only went by L.L. Cool J in S.W.A.T. tho'...i can't remember 4 sure.

I don't think there is a released Acapella version of "Miami." I have various CD singles, promos and vinyl promos and NONE of them have the acapella.

I think that just b-cuz of that line, it helped him get more airplay. I love the idea that one of the hottest people out there now has a concious. Most of these other fools don't care about life and what their fans are listening 2.

Don't miss Jada on The Late Show with David Letterman. U know Will will come up in the conversation. Jessica Simpson will be on there with her fine-self 2.
