  1. 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:
  2. 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
  3. 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!
  4. 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.
  5. 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?"
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. I was REALLY hoping she's used the stuck up Hilary voice during the interview. Maybe next time.
  10. 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.
  11. 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
  12. I've never heard this before so I'm really interested. I sounds like Jeff scratching, but back then, turntablism was a little limited, so it's more likely for DJ's to sound like one another. It sounds so much like him tho' that it's hard to believe it isn't. To my knowledge, Jeff never had anything on wax until JJ+FP. My knowledge could be completely wrong though. The other Jazzy Jeff is an emcee from the 70's/80's Hip-Hop group Funky 4+1. I wasn't familiar with the group since I was so young, but when I did research on them awhile back, I found out they were true pioneers. They were the first group to have a female emcee, the first group from the Bronx to land a deal, and the first group to be on national TV (yes, before Sugarhill Gang and Run DMC). I've only ever seen the album On Fire by him and the "King Heroin" 12" single. I originally read that he sued DJ Jazzy Jeff over the name, but later read that he sued Jive. The funny thing was, his solo music was released on Jive. It certainly wasn't that serious because the Source or XXL held an even in the late 90's celebrating Hip-Hop and both Jazzy Jeff's were at it. They even posed together for a picture.
  13. I was thinking the same thing. People are loving it every time he starts performing. I feel like since he hasn't been pumping out a blockbuster movie every year, more people keep his/their music in a more prominent place in their mind. They know he's an emcee. They know he's a pioneer. They know he has hit songs. He only releases music when he feels people want it and when it's safe. People want it. It's safe. Get busy, JJ+FP.
  14. So dope. With as much music involved in the promotion of this movie and with the mixed reviews, this must be a great stepping stool to a mainstream return to the mic. No offense, but I don't want any of his family being a hypeman when they tour...lol
  15. I really like the JJ+FP is doing this. Sounds like a great opportunity to shake the rust off. They need to be a little sporadic with their plan and do a few of these around the country and the world. I plan on seeing After Earth tonight. Regardless of the reviews, the movie is going to do well...and I can't imagine the movie being any less enjoyable than Hancock. But since it likely won't have a HUGE impact on people, this is a great time to spring board into some music. After Earth promotion duties won't last much longer and they both have some holes in there schedules.
  16. I've been meaning 2 watch this! This is definitely Jaden's most relaxed and best interview. Lots of funny things going on. Props 2 Ellen for sharing her appreciation for FP's music. She's an excellent host.
  17. I don't check this board often enough...lol. I just took a look and it took me back. By the way I STILL like this movie!!
  18. For those who don't feel like clicking the link above... Alfonso Ribeiro On His Lengthy Friendship With Will Smith & His Cameo On The Graham Norton Show First Published: May 30, 2013 5:35 PM EDT Credit: Getty Images NEW YORK, N.Y. -- Caption Alfonso Ribeiro joined his old “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” co-star, Will Smith, on stage last week on Britain’s “The Graham Norton Show,” and it turns out the appearance came about because the pair have remained friends throughout the years. “[i’ve known] Will… maybe 24-25 years. Something like that. It’s been a long time,” Alfonso told Access Hollywood at the New York City premiere of “After Earth,” about his big screen pal. “We’ve spent many years working together, hanging together, playing together, you know, having families together,” Alfonso continued. “[Will is] just a wonderful individual and we have such a great time whenever we’re together.” And last week, flying to London to appear alongside Will, Jaden Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff covering Will’s hit, “Parents Just Don’t Understand” on that British chat show (where Alfonso did the Carlton Banks dance), was all in the name of fun. “He called us up and said, ‘Hey! You want to come to London? Do you want to do this little thing?’” Alfonso recounted of how it came together.

  19. I was just going to post this same interview. I think it has some interesting quotes and topics, but I must say that reading it made me miss the old Fresh Prince. I admire his thirst for knowledge and his eagerness to share it, but by reading it and not hearing/seeing him interview, it's hard to see exactly where he's coming from. I ask myself "is this the natural evolution of the Fresh Prince reaching a certain level he is supposed to reach?" or "is this one of the nicest, cleverest, funniest people ever who has been removed from the live and the principles that made him great in the first place." I just can't answer that when I READ this. I make it personal and I see the growth I've had as a man and I don't see how I've construed simple truths or actually taken a completely different approach on things. I've upgraded and improved myself hundreds of times, but my friends from way back in the day still say I'm the same person I was when I was 13. I must admit that some of this article has me missing FP from 10 years ago and before. But then I see his UK interview and I'm like "that's the same around the way guy...just wearing a suit."
