[quote=Da Brakes,Jul 12 2004, 04:11 PM]Keep us people in the rest of the world informed!!!![/quote] U'll have 2 look that up on your own. It waz hard enuff 4 me 2 find this stuff airing where i live. :laugh2:

Not being a big fan of Eminem's anymore, even i thought he waz a good freestyler. But i can't give props 2 Jay-Z at all. He has some songs like Ain't No..., The City Is Mine, Sunshine, Girls Girls Girls, etc that i like...but it's just the song i like. And in alot of those cases, it's cuz i like Foxy Brown, BLACKstreet, Babyface or just the production. He simply dosen't make music 4 me. The way u talk about Em's freestyle is totally what Will's early freestyles were about. The person's looks, cloths, etc. He laffs at battle components who try 2 be hard cuz he just rips them with comedy.

Here it is y'all. A list of places Will is gonna be on TV this week and a list of when MTV is airing their special on I, Robot. MONDAY - JULY 12 MTV - Never Before Scene: I, Robot - 11 p.m. TUESDAY - JULY 13 CBS - The Late Show with David Letterman - 11:30 WEDNESDAY - JULY 14 Good Morning America FOX - Good Day - 12 noon MTV - TRL FRIDAY - JULY 16 Regis + Kelly BET - 106 + Park Here is a list of other times that MTV's I, Robot special airs. TUESDAY - 12 p.m. THURSDAY - 8:30 p.m. FRIDAY - 9:30 SATURDAY - 2 a.m. SATURDAY - 11 a.m. Keep in mind all this stuff is for the US, East Coast so some of u won't see some of it and some of u may see it at different times of the day.

I don't care about The Clash at all...but i put myself in the shoes of their fans by picturing Chingy heavily sampling something like "Summertime"....i'd be really mad, so i know where their fans are coming from. Oh well, Will dose what he wants 2. I wonder if it waz his idea or the Trackmasters.

Man, my freestyling is better than that Eminem one u just posted...ha ha. And i havn't focused on freestyling in a long time. :roll: Sorry about Jay-Z...i can't give him props. I don't think his lyrics are good at all. That explains why his songs never stay on topic if they ever have a topic in the 1st place. I think that's a wack way 2 make songs and an album. Freestyles 99% of the time are never as good as a written song. Writing is where most of the creative process and the real skills show up. Freestyling only proves that u can quickly come up with a rhyme.

I'm not sure how this mini-magazine, Parade, is published, but it's part of my Sunday parper every week. Todays has none other than the Freshests of Princes on the cover. The article isn't that long, but it basically talks about how Will turns doubt and fear around in2 positive energy 2 accomplish things in life. I'll try 2 post more about soon (notably when it's not almost 3 in the morning).

I think alot of people stressed some good ponts here. I loved yours TopDawg...some of it looks like u cut and pasted some things i've said. Lately i've been listening 2 alot of Hip-Hop from 1993ish - 1996ish...it has me in tears about how good Hip-Hop used 2 be. I can't believe what it's come 2 now. I also agree that Dr. Dre's "The Chonic" album (being a dope album) did lead 2 the industry ruining commerical Hip-Hop as we know it.

U gotta keep in mind that they called them "awsomely bad" but they are saying they are cool...but have flaws. I saw it myself, and i understand that some punk fans were pretty mad that used that Clash song 4 a song like "Will 2K"...it just wazn't that good. They also tore it apart 4 being a bit egotistical. I think that it waz kinda funny when someone said "did the Willennium last shorter than expected....about 2 months." They did prove some good point where i found funny. But u can't take a show like that seriously.

[quote=WildWildWillennium,Jul 11 2004, 07:02 PM]DROP A DOUBLE ALBUM WILL!! :call:[/quote] Let's not get carried away...only if every track is that good. No fillers or soundtrack songs!!

I just think it's something most emcees out grow after awhile. I don't see it as a weakness at all that freestyling dosen't seem 2 be one of his main focuses either. He's not living and breathing just music anymore. He's grown up, started a 2nd career with acting and has a family...who is honestly gonna keep up with freestyling. I defintly don't think Will has any freestyled verses on his albums. Will dose this thing that almost no rappers do anymore....STAY ON TOPIC. When u hear songs by most rappers these days, their topics are so lazy and sloppy that the songs aren't really about anything. Check most Luda, 50, Jay-Z songs. They talk about alot of crap that dosen't mean anything. The verses usually have nothing 2 do with each other. Will's songs have a certral focus on the topic and tell a story from the 1st line 2 the last...even on the party trax. It takes really good freeystyler and a quick mind 2 do a full song, much less a full verse totally focused on one topic and with more 2 say after the main ideas have been stressed. p.s. who actually thinks Jay-Z can freestyle?!? :eek4:

I'm pretty sure he's gonna be there. When there waz newz of him being there last week...i honestly didn't believe it. It just didn't seem right and i'm glad i waz right cuz i didn't catch...but u better believe i will Wed.

I really wanna go...but the closest one is 3-4 hours away.

Thanx 4 that!!! It's articles like that make me feel good. There is alot of doubters out there...so it's good 2 have your quotes backed up by fact. Posting the source is a good idea...u know how some people are around here. I like that Will mentioned his music has a more serious edge now...i think that's what made Willennium better than BWS and Born To Reign more personal than BWS (with the exception of "Just The Two of Us" and "Chasing Forever"). I think this album is gonna take off...and if it dosen't, at the least the music sounds like it'll be great. Hopefully it'll make lots of noise...calling 4 more music faster than his time on Columbia. :::patiently waits for Christmas:::

That's funny!! :roll: Of course i'm glad he's alright...otherwise i wouldn't thing it waz funny. Anothing thing....this has 2 be soooooooo old. He wrapped I, Robot a long time ago but since it's coming out now, they talk about all this stuff like it's new. The title of this topic mislead me 2 think something bad happened. Jada wazn't mad, she waz just acting the way females typically do 2 that kinda stuff. I know where Will is coming from those. He's a guy...sometimes guys are dumb and we just gotta try things. It's a male flaw, if i waz in his place, i'd probably do the same thing. What cracks me up is that Will is a grown man and he's trying 2 hide stuff like that from his wife even tho' he didn't do anything wrong. :roll: LIST OF THINGS 2 KEEP WILL AWAY FROM Skies Trackmasters Motorcycles

If i every read Horoscopes...i read off of them. They can be kinda inspirational or help u look at something in your life that might need work. Nothing more. When i hear people talking about the Horoscope like it has any substance exclustively 2 them and that it's why their personality is the way it is...i just get sick.

Yeah, some artists like the idea of downloading music as a way of promotion and a way 2 please fans...but no artist wants people just stealing their music. Even the most non-materialistic artist would have a problem with people just downloading their music and not buying their music. I think that if the music industry and artists had more control over how downloading waz done...everybody would be happier (except the 4 the fake fans who only download music).

Someone who's not submerged in music all the time might be a lil' rusty. I know that when i go thru' a music phase, i'm good...but when i don't concentrate it then try it...i don't always impress myself..ha ha. I'm not saying he can't do it anymore, i've never seen him freestyle recently. I'm just saying it much more natural when u are submerged in music. Freestyling 2 perform would make sense...but not 2 battle. Will's above that, he's a livin' legend.

Yeah, it's 4 real. I saw it on TRL Friday and 4 some reason i could post it...then 4got yesterday. I just made a post about it on the main message board b4 i saw it here. It's alot more realistic 4 him 2 do it this week since the movie drops this week.

This Wednesday, Will is gonna be on TRL. I waz hangin' out with my friend the other day and TRL waz on. They said Will waz gonna be on this Wednesday and the showed 2002 footage of him on the show giving love back 2 the crowd. If u can catch it...DON'T MISS IT!!

Thanx 4 the shout!! :thumb:

Tarus....any reason u are asking. Please don't tell me that u believe that the destinations of the stars predict what is gonna happen in your future. :roll:

There's all kinds of mixtapes. As long as his stuff it dope, it's up 4 grabs. There's underground mixtapes...then there's top 40 mixtapes loaded down with good music that's aimed 4 radio. FP needs 2 have some of his stuff on mixtapes...it would be promotion 2 the fans who need 2 hear it.

My girlfriend pickedit up 2day...after she reads it at work 2morrow...she's giving it 2 me.

I've seen Will and Jeff in person twice and talked 2 Jeff thru' e-mail and instant messenger many times.

Will and Eminem battling would not make any sense. What dose an old skool playa, multi-platnium, Hip-Hop legend have 2 prove 2 some young new jack white kid who has alot 2 prove of himself?!? Will could tear in2 Em if he wanted, but there's just no point. Will has grown up, started a family and balances a HUGE movie career. He's not spending everyday of his life in a real studio just writing and living life. U out grow that stuff after doing it 4 so long and as your lifestyle changes. I'm not saying Will can't freestyle, but look at his life and career...freestyling simply isn't at the top of his priority list.
