I know I'm expecting the worst and I'm being stubborn. I'm TRYING to be more open minded to the idea. I don't like that "Bound 2" track though. It seems like the beat is going to go somewhere, but it never gets there. And still, the lyrics and his vocals are awful in my opinion. The good news is that if the song ends up being terrible, it's only a feature. Kanye isn't very respected amongst the heads though...look at the comments every time Russel Simmons posts something about Kanye on his Facebook. LOL I'm just failing to see this something that will be good for his music career, other than the attention it can get.

I hear what everyone's saying. I wanna hear him on the mic badly. I'm just dreading the combination. It better be good...somehow. Kanye and 2 Chainz are awful rappers and they're are likely to be cussing up a storm. Plus, if it has a garbage beat like "Clique," I'm done. I almost feel like hearing this song could be like saying "Yeah, I haven't had a girlfriend in 8 years, but now I do. Let's just ignore the fact that she's 700 pounds and used to be a man."

Does mean I'm going to have to shell out extra scrilla to buy an import version of blasphemously titled album by a garbage commercial rapper?!? Crap!! I guess we'll have to wait and see. Albums from Japan are the most expensive and always have the best bonus material. They are also the hardest to find.

The collabo makes no sense to me. FP isn't a "bonus track" artist. He's on the album or he isn't. I don't see that song we saw them in the studio for fitting on ANY album. At least since it's a Kanye track, there's a better chance it'll be released since FP's stuff never leaks. Here's the final 10 track version... http://globalgrind.com/music/kanye-west-releases-tracklist-yeezus

Let me guess, the writer is a white guy, 20-37 years old? I'm guessing this because most annoying, overly opinionated, arrogant writers/personalities that come off this way ARE. LOL While I agree with some of the points made, the whole tone of it is annoying and off. The truth is, Happyness is probably the last FP movie that I truly enjoyed. I like MIB3 and Seven Pounds. I grew to like Legend (other than the end), but the magic of his movies has fizzled. Granted, I don't care about them much. I'm all about the music, but USUALLY I hyped up when they drop and enjoy them. And I STILL haven't seen After Earth. I'm just busy, and this isn't Bad Boys, Hitch, or MIB. I will in the next couple of days. I think the bottom line is this, there is a time to produce and have creative control over your movies, and time to let it go. He's not going to grow if he isn't challenged, stirred up, and stretched. COLLABORATING is key in movies, TV, and theater. If he fails to collaborate and let some control go, I could see things staying like this. The same goes for his kids career; have involvement TO A POINT. I have to say that I don't like Tarantino at all. I've watched Pulp Fiction through and pieces of a few of his other movies and for the most part, I hated them. They have a specific taste for a specific kind of person. Not every movie can be a hit. He's had lack luster success before. People are just making a big deal of it this time. They still love him though. He'll always have that on his side and that's why reactions like this are just a flash in the pan.

A few things...and I apologize to Kanye West fans in advance... Didn't Kanye do a track for FP for Lost + Found. Back then Kanye still made good music and we never heard that. The commercialism of Kanye's name should have had that at least leak. I'm with Visqo...I just don't want music with Kanye + FP. Kanye's voice is annoying and sloppy. His lyrics were never great, but now they are really awful. His production used to be dope, it hasn't been (at least not consistently) for awhile. I just hate the idea of a legend like Fresh Prince sharing the song with a sloppy commercial rapper who's cussing up a storm with elementary rhymes and trash beats like "Click." By the way, did ANYONE like what they heard in that video? I didn't. Kanye does best when he caters to an artist's sound (Like he did with Common Sense's 'Be'), but he's past that point in his career. Import track listings are weird and incorrect sometimes. Years ago I went to get the China import of Lost + Found because it had a song on it that wasn't on the traditional album and was also misspelled. Luckily I contacted the online seller and they confirmed it was a misprint ON THE ALBUM ARTWORK and that I didn't need to get it. I also have the 2 disc Born To Reign import from China. After "Nothing On My Mind" it has "Girls...," "Parents...,""Nightmare...," and "FBofBA." Disc 2 is Willennium's tracklist plus ..Two of Us," "Miami," "Jiggy...,," and "MIB." Just weird. Lastly, I simply find it hard to believe that Kanya would have FP on his album, or that song (if it sounds anything like the video we saw." I wanna hear the songs, but I'd prefer they don't make any FP album. By the way, that link has been updated, cutting off at track 10.

I found this pretty funny. Too bad they looked over all of the JJ+FP album covers. http://www.formatmag.com/features/lego-hip-hop-album-covers/

I have to be honest, I still haven't seen it. I will this week, and I don't ever care what critics say. I've just been busy and this kind of movie doesn't pull me in like most of them do. I like how he took the critical questions from Jimmy in stride. He was comical about it didn't seem to be that bothered. Not may people get confronted with questions like that, and he handled them perfectly. It may not be a critical success, but can we really call it a "flop?"

I just got an email from The Howard Theatre (easily one of the best venues on the East Coast, in DC) and Jeff is coming there Saturday night. I need to clear my plans! I haven't seen Jeff perform/spin in 11 years! http://thehowardtheatre.com/show/2013/06/08/dj-jazzy-jeff-presents-summertime-the-party/?utm_source=emailnewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=jazzyjeff Nicole, please check your inbox...LOL

1 face about me... The face you make when you talked to the unamused cat almost made me pee.

29. Snoop Dogg completely forgetting how he got in this costume: 17. Ice Cube terrified by a clown:

This is one of my favs...because of the caption... 8. Kanye West beating Beyonce in Connect-4 after losing 30 games in a row: and this... 19. Ludacris missing every pool ball by a good three feet:

That's so cool! Congrats! I like that your question made him think a little bit. FP still kinda controls these interviews, but Jaden is sooooo much more comfortable now. The interviews are sloppy in a comical sort of way, and Jaden keeps him on his toes...LOL

I've been listening to it since I got home from work. I'm loving it...great mix and great sound quality!! We appreciate you coming here to keep us up to date on everything!

I loved that short read and the pictures. Thanx!

The Squid And The Will Again, the goal is for these films to not do well at the box office. Or wait, what was the point? How about in twenty years, we'll have Dr. Drew ask Jaden. And finally, we got our hands on a leaked photo of a project still in the works... It's going to be super edgy, lots of black and white. Co-starring Tommy Lee Jones. And there's a rap single. Really, like nothing you've ever seen before.

I found this a little funny... http://www.thesouptv.com/latest/where-theres-a-will/426750?cmpid=sn-111021-facebook-na-soup ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Shortly after After Earth was likened to recycled oatmeal, Will Smith announced that he's ready to leave the blockbusters behind. We always knew the day would come when he'd abandon us like this, vulnerable and unprotected from the extraterrestrial scum of the universe. Still, we can't wait to find deeper meaning in our ultimitely futile existences through the lens of his upcoming indie projects! 500 Days Of Summertime You'll be leaving the theater wondering, "What is our purpose?", "Is Summer even real?" and "How long was that?"

That was the name of the article...so it was the name of this post. I just thought they were random and funny. Seeing some of them "out of character" was amusing to me. I'm glad someone actually checked these out...lol.

It has to be Jeff. This reminds so much of Rock The House. Over the years I've never hard Jazzy talk about this stuff.

That was...something.

Here's one of my favorites... Here he is speaking...

I just wanted to say, I got the album and I love it. It's inspirational and faith but completely modern music. If someone doesn't share the same faith, they probably will find the subject matter to seem distant, but it still may be worth a listen. Otherwise, if you are a Montell Jordan fan and are known to occasionally appreciate gospel/Christian music, you'll probably like this. Please note that about one third of the album is guest artists and not Montell, but they are all crazy talented. You can find the 2011 release here: http://www.amazon.com/Shake-Heaven-Victory-World-Music/dp/B00635B1IG/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1370405322&sr=8-10&keywords=montell+jordan And the 2012 re-release with the album, the live album, plus the live concert (which I haven't watched yet) here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AGO17TS/ref=dm_dp_cdp?ie=UTF8&qid=1370405322&s=music&sr=8-9 If you opt to get it, I suggest going for the 2 CD/1 DVD package.

I was REALLY hoping she's used the stuck up Hilary voice during the interview. Maybe next time.

Okay...at first I wasn't too thrilled with the intro bit. I just wasn't feeling the production that much. BUT THEN THE ACTUAL SONG STARTED! It's dope; i love it. It made me feel like a kid again just listening to it. I'm definitely looking forward to more music.

By the way, MC Jazzy Jeff actually won the rights of the name in the lawsuit, so I'm not sure how all of that worked out since Jazzy never stopped using it. Maybe he just got lots of money...lol
