I didn't watch the trailer until just now. I think it looks interesting and I'll see it in theaters. I rarely get more than moderately excited about the movies until right before they come out.

MATT CUSSON - The Christmas Song It's Christmas Time (2012) bigted 2014 edit: I recently got into this guy. I love his stuff.

I just came across this article from last month. Any huge Heavy D fans probably knows all/most of this. But I figured I'd share... 8 COOL THINGS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT HEAVY D http://globalgrind.com/music/heavy-d-things-you-might-not-know-about-legend-photos-list

I agree that Overbook used to have a particular standard and mission for what they are doing. This kind of show is irrelevant to that.

I wouldn't call it rubbish. It's just the kinda show almost nobody on this board will wanna watch. As long as the show is respected within its industry, then I have no problem with it. They struggled with the sitcom world so it looks like they are trying something new. Rihanna has a track record of having both great and awful style. My only objection is that with an inconsistent track record for style and for music, it makes me wonder if its her passion or if she was approached because she's a big name and she's not ready to take on acting.

It seems like death is all around. I had to put my dog to sleep unexpectedly on Friday. She was perfectly fine two days before but there were a lot of health issues that were unearthed just over 24 hours later. I was fortunate to spend a good bit of the evening with her but the sting is bad. Invested my heart into her more than anything else in this world. I'm truly in shock, numb, and lost after this. It's amazing how how pets can impact your life. Last night one of my friends from high school passed away. She was my age; married with three kids. She was fighting a health issue that doctors couldn't diagnose. Now her family is grieving her loss. Different paths in life kept us from seeing each other the past 10 years but this, too, stings. There actually quite a lot going on for me right now but I don't want to highjack this thread and make it all about me. I just ask that other prayer souljas lift up my family as we deal with the loss of my dog, Holly, and for the family and friends of Tanya. Thanks in advance.

MANDISA - Waiting For Tomorrow What If We Were Real (2011) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plFHiSWeOHI

These interviews were really good. It looks like maybe she's done with the drama related to the show. Hopefully she just needed the projects that she worked on as a release for the bitterness of what happened. She is right about television lacking in variety. She is right about age and race discrimination. The things she said about FPofBA were honest and appropriate and to the point. I'm happy for her and hope that he show is successful.

Just think, the next year he'd have a hit song. He always talked about being heavy in the Philly Hip-Hop party scene.

TLC - Diggin' On You (Untouchables Remix) Diggin' On You (CD Single) (1995)

I figured with the new album about 2 drop from one of Hip-Hop's legends, it'd be best to start a new topic. LL's 'Authentic Hip-Hop" drops FEBRUARY 12TH! Here's the lyric video, which has been widely panned by fans due to it's watered down sound. I'm personally not a fan of the tired beat, weak chorus and silly female vocals. Even his rhymes come off rather weak, though I'm not completely against the topic of the song. LL's response is that the song is straight comedy. After less than 2 weeks of "Ratchet" dropping and being panned, he put out the YouTube video for "Take It" featuring Joe. This song pretty much put the album in redemption mode quickly. Classic flow, dope lyrics, flawless beat, and Joe smoothing the whole thing over. The song will be available for download this week! The tracklisting for the album is: 1. Something About U (FTW) 2. Where Ya At (BOSS) 3. Take It Featuring Joe 4. Closer Featuring Monica 5. Too Late 6. New Love 7. Dream With Me 8. Girl So Bad 9. Ratchet 10. Bartender Please 11. Bath Salt 12. Getting Paper 13. Jump On It 14. Hell Yeah 15.

Time 2 bump this post back up... KURTIS BLOW - Christmas Rappin' (1979)

I feel that the artist making the song and the subject matter is what makes it good. Run-DMC's "Christmas In Hollis" is classic. No Christmas is complete without it in my opinion. I would put JJ+FP's "Family Christmas" and Kurtis Blow's "Christmas Rappin'" behind that joint. Ludacris' "Ludacrismas" is just silly and I have problem with that. Kanye's "Christmas In Harlem" is pretty wack in my opinion. Like I said above, I love the beat and chorus, but the artists/subject matter is awful.

I partially agree. I don't think that a Christmas Hip-Hop song reaches for any serious or emotional depth. I look at is a way to sprinkle the season with something lighthearted and fun. Believe it or not, I actually kinda like the Ludacris song. I kind of wish he focused on R-N-B/Soul and Pop music mostly but I'm still enjoying it.

Wow! No replies. Has anyone peeped it? Thoughts? Opinions? Personally, I loved that he used both TLC Christmas songs even though only one of them was a single. There's actually 2 old school Hip-Hop Christmas songs towards the middle that I was unaware of that I'm gonna look for. I wasn't crazy about one of the cussing. Christmas music with cussing just doesn't seem right to me. The mix reminded me of the Ludacris' song. I never knew about the Kanye West Christmas song. I love the beat and the chorus...but Kanye's lyrics are stupid and his voice is awful (as usual). I like how his mixes and samples the Chipmunks in the middle of it. I will say that I'm surprised that he didn't include a Boyz II Men Christmas song. I was listening 2 the mix 2day while driving and I definitely feelin' it for the most part.

I think I just found a gem. I'm not sure if this is a song that didn't make it on the Nuttin' But Love album or if it's a remix of "Nuttin' But Love"....but to me is a totally different song. I just purchased the vinyl promo single because this is dope!!

I was in an FYE once digging for music. I overheard this awful acting and dialogue. It was annoying me greatly. Eventually I looked up at a TV screen and saw that it was Twilight. It was the first one. I knew it was never worth giving them a try after 20 minutes of hell playing in the background of my shopping experience.

Jeff has been hard at work. He just put out a holiday mixtape!!! It's a great mix of old a new featuring music of all genres. The only problem is that it's missing JJ+FP's "Family Christmas." Here's the link: https://www.facebook...h=3AQECBEkR&s=1

I've kinda wondered this as well. Since Jazzy runs in his own circles, he probably seems more untouchable to some or less thought of. He's so laid back about music and creating it that I see him creating strictly for himself and his inner circle and only stepping out when someone goes out of their way to ask him. So many people have stepped away from using a DJ, and if they want one, there's plenty of young, eager guys out there who will do it for a #7 combo at McDonald's as payment. It would be very cool to see him step out of the box and offer to work with likes of LL Cool J, Rakim, KRS-One, Nas, Common Sense, etc...

I'm indifferent. I'd like to see it in theaters again, in 3D would be an interesting perk. Overall, I don't care much. As long as they don't make the ill fated sequels, I'm happy.

FEBRUARY 12TH, y'all. It's comin'!!!! I like that he released "Take It" as a single 2 weeks after "Ratchet"....he certainly listened to the fans who weren't feeling it.

MC Hammer is a beast when it comes to the moves. Plus he's only person who I think doesn't look ridiculous in Hammer pants. I was hyped when I found out he did this, but I think Psy and is music are a complete joke. Needless to say, I had mixed feelings about this. A lot of the energy from the crowd was going out towards MC Hammer so that's a great thing. I'd love to see him come back and get that kinda reaction.
