I had no idea these were coming!! Anyways, I've been on Jill Scott kick and listening to her work that I never really got deep into. I've always been revisiting the classics. As I was looking online for import singles and stuff like that, I came across a remix album that was just dropped! It's all club mixes but from the previews, it sounds relaly good for the most part. JS fans need to check this out. Volume 1 (Just released yesterday) http://www.amazon.com/Crates-Fundamentals-Feeling-digital-booklet/dp/B008AN95WI/ref=sr_1_98?ie=UTF8&qid=1340769345&sr=8-98&keywords=jill+scott Apparently Volume 2 is coming out at the end of July http://www.amazon.com/Crates-Remix-Fundamentals-Jill-Scott/dp/B008646006/ref=pd_rhf_se_p_t_3

This album kinda slipped my mind. I previewed it online and like it. I finally bought it online. I'm old school so I'm anxiously waiting for the CD in the mail.

True, it could be one of those 3 album combos that goes for $10-$15. Usually I see those in all stores (eventually). The WalMart Collection is such a wack title. I hope it's just a workin title and the it has a proper name when it drops. How dope would it be if it contains one new, unreleased, or super rare song? I'll get it, whatever it is, simply because it's something new.

Well, I tried to cut and paste the article but for some reason it won't past. Here's a short article from Global Grind. http://globalgrind.com/news/jimmy-henchman-rosemond-setup-tupac-2pac-shooting-biggie-quad-studios-details Here's more info on it... http://globalgrind.com/news/james-jimmy-henchman-rosemond-dexter-issac-he-setup-tupac-1994-quad-studio-shooting-list

Brakes! Congrats on a dope tune!! This is the total package. Flawless production, sexy/smooth female vocals on the hook, and you just control this track is a smooth flow and great lyrics. I look forward 2 playing this LOUD in the car.

Not sure I feel about this. I like and respect Mad Skillz, though I only ever got his 1st album. I wanted his other albums but with money being tight and other releases that were biggin my eyes, I just haven't gotten around to getting the others. Does this mean he won't tour with Jazzy anymore?

Hmmm...one would assume that it'd be one of those 10-12 track "Best of" albums that may or may not consist of all hits (like the Icon series). I assume it going to be available exclusively through WalMart, at least at first. I've hope there's some rare and unreleased trax or pictures tied to the "project." Better yet, maybe it can be something FP's camp has partnered with them on so there's a reason to pick it up. Good find! We'll have to keep our eyes open on this.

I don't know how I feel about reading that. LOL

I like that Gershwin tune...but I can't say I'm crazy about this version. I was in the musical Crazy For You back in the 90's and that's how I was introduced to it. CIARA - And I Goodies (2004) Ciara is one of those artists who is talented but more than half of her music is "eh"....but once in awhile, she gets it right. This is one of those moments.

This is adorable. It makes wanna be a parent...which is not something I often want to be at this phase in my life...LOL

IMMATURE - I Wanna Know You That Way On Our Worst Behavior (1992) I busted out Immature first album for the 1st time in a long time. I didn't even know they made a video for this song!!

Really? I like Letterman and Kimmel but I almost never watch them. I'm not a fan of Leno or Fallon. I put Craig Ferguson in the middle of those clumps but Letterman is the only I'd go out of my way to watch. It'll be interesting to see how much of Arsenio's original formula will be in the new show. He's outspoken and spontaneous. That's a given. I'm just curious if we can expect some of the silly skits, unannouonced surprises, the Dog Pound with their crappy seats, french kissing Diana Ross, etc...lol. He had a wide variety of guests but also give Hip-Hop and black personalities a mainstream stage that they weren't going to find anywhere else. The difference is, back then, entertainment (for the most part) was better. Seeing JJ+FP, LL, Beastie Boys, Run-DMC, Das EFX, Naughty, Tribe, Fu-Shcnicks, Latifah, Hammer, PE, Lyte, KRS-One, S-N-P, 2Pac, TLC, BIIM, En Vogue is completely different from seeing Niki Minaj, Waka Flaka, etc. Hopefully he'll put a Monique spin on things and support non-mainstream legends just as much as the current entertainers.

I've been waiting on this news since I was 14. To me, Arsenio is the best to ever do it. His ability to be crazy and spontaneous is 2nd to none. He pushes the envelope without going too far. He has something that none of the stuffy or cheezy late night hosts have. Just YouTube his stuff and you'll realize he's nothing like Letterman, Kimmel, Fallon, Leno, etc. Plus, he single handedly brought Hip-Hop culture to late night TV. Without him, Hip-Hop, R-N-B, and black entertainers would have NEVER gotten the shine they did on such a mainstream platform. I can't wait to see his return!

ONYX - Shiftee Backdaf**up (1993)

He's been doing this all year. I currently can't get pix up on my computer so I haven't been able to post any on Thursdays...which sucks. I actually took a "collection picture" 2 but the rules once stated you had to be in the pic. I tried setting the time on my camera and couldn't get me and all of my collection in at once....LOL. I need to get back into this contest! CONGRATS!!

The movie has definetly done it's job and put FP back on top. With his performances, his new "Summertime" rap, and MIB3, things just feel good at the moment.

Brakes, this is HILARIOUS. Nice work!! I laughed out loud quite a few times. I also like that the kind of comedy you put in there also also funny to those who are'nt aware of your music. Truly funny. Don't rush the applesauce!

"I Need Love" just reminded me how Marky channeled LL for his own joint... MARKY MARK + THE FUNKY BUNCH - Make Me Say Ooh Music For The People (1991) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWVZZt9ieZU

LL COOL J - I Need Love Bigger And Deffer (1987) I'm listening to Bigger And Deffer for the 1st time in awhile. Such a classic...

I was never in to Canibus so I could be wrong, but wasn't he a freestyler in his prime? He's known best for battling LL which made me think he was an emcee who was no stanger to battling. This video didn't really show that? What was his strength? It's cool 2 know your strength and excell at that, but lets remember that back in the 80's, FP made dope music, was a freestyling beast PLUS he brought comedy. The standards and flexibility simply isn't what it used 2 be.

I've always been a fan of battling over a beat so watching this was a little painful. I had to skip around because it didn't keep my attention. I've never been a Canibus fan but I wanted him to win just because I knew his name and only ever heard of the Dizaster. Canibus just had no flow. it was like choppy spoken word. Some of his shots should have come AFTER hearing Dizaster rhyme. Dizaster has some flow. I like his mid range but when he starts screaming in his upper range he sounded like a girl. He definitely came with it on some of those shots. It seems like Canibus' lyrics fit on an album, not a battle.

Ahhh, it's good to see an old but familar name on the board. Welcome back!

It's the ONLY kind of promotion.

JUSTIN YOUNG w/ COLBIE CALLIAT - Puzzel Pieces ? (2012) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yupXf0nDbzM&feature=g-all-u I love this song. It's amazing when a couple can come up with a song this beautiful and it be a natural thing. Sorry Beyonce and Jay-Z, your collabos have nothing on this...lol
