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

ANNIE - Tomorrow Annie: The 30th Anniversary Cast Recording (2007) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_dBep_55mI I'm getting read for rehearsal. And no, I'm not playing Annie. This time!

DJ JAZZY JEFF + FRESH PRINCE - Jazzy's Groove And In This Corner... (1989) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zGtIopwiYc

Back in 1991, the Fresh Prince contributed a bar to a humanitarian song for the troops serving in dessert storm. The song was composed by musical legend David Foster. It features Fresh Prince, Bobby Brown, Ralph Tresvant, Luther Vandross, Brenda Russell, Little Richard, Pointer Sisters, Celine Dion, Peter Cetera, Michael Bolton, Kenny G, Nelson, Kathy Mattea, Warrant, Warren Wiebe, Garth Brooks, and Randy Travis. To the best of my knowledge, the song was written while these artists and other celebrities came together for the recording. However, The Fresh Prince wrote his own bar for the song, as there are different sung lyrics on the demo version sang by Warren Wiebe. FP wasn't on set for the video but shot his own part separately that got spliced in the video. I figured that the song is unknown by most people and forgotten by the rest. I wanted to dig it back up for everyone. Once again, the 'Prince is doing something huge for Hip-Hop by being the first emcee to have solo vocals on a pop colaboration like this. I could be wrong, but I can't think of anything like this that featured an emcee. Here's the video. Hang in there, you'll see him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRrAzDbYc68

Heck!Freakin'!Yes! A time when Hip-Hop was dope and most of the artists making music had skillz. Even the ones I didn't like so much back in the day, I like them a bit more now as I go back and revisit their stuff. Yo! MTV Raps was a huge part of my growing up. The reason shows like that don't exist anymore is because true school Hip-Hop almost never breaks its way to the mainstream. I can't wait to watch this!

Maybe if you promise to mail people free slices of pizza if they like your page, it will increase the activity on the page.

I just about lost it when I saw the news. I was just dying to get 2 the board!! http://globalgrind.com/music/will-smith-dj-jazzy-jeff-summertime-remix-new-music 10 Artists Who Love To Talk That Talk (LIST) Will Smith & DJ Jazzy Jeff "Summertime (Remix)" (NEW MUSIC) Posted 10 hours 23 min ago by Brittany Lewis for Global Grind Staff <A HREF="http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/Globalgrind.com/Music;pt=article;ar_id=834065;pos=TOP;sz=540x100;tile=1;ord=123456789?" TARGET="_blank"> <IMG SRC="http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/Globalgrind.com/Music;pt=article;ar_id=834065;pos=TOP;sz=540x100;tile=1;ord=123456789?" BORDER="0" ALT=""></A> Advertisement It's almost officially summer summer summertime, and Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff have remixed their seasonal classic 21 years later. Will Smith kicks off the new track with the same classic intro, but switches it up by noting, "Here it is the groove slightly transformed." The groove is slightly transformed, but the most noticeable difference is Will Smith's voice. Two decades later, Will's voice is filled with much more bass and definitely smoother than it was in 1991. The remix is off Jazzy Jeff and Mike Boogie's new mixtape Summertime 3. The "Summertime (Remix)" will be available for download Monday, June 11. So in the meantime, sit back, relax and enjoy, because it's summertime! Take a listen to the remix below and tell us what you think! Read more: http://globalgrind.com/music/will-smith-dj-jazzy-jeff-summertime-remix-new-music#ixzz1xFFGbI12

Yeah, the "God Blessa" cracked me up.

THE FUGEES - Wanna Be The Very Best of the Fugees (2006/2012) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEp_0qx-wR0 I really wish they would have finished that 3rd album. I have this song and "Take It Easy." Did they do another song in 2005-2006?

It's a bit dated but I like it. I especially like the version with the Isley Brothers sample.

Yeah, I know that there hundreds of songs that feel like "Summertime" but at some point it could turn into a regular mixtape that happens to have a Summertime title. I'm anxious to hear it tough. I much rather have the Heavy D mix he said he was gonna do.

That's silly...looks fun, but I have bought a gaming system since the Super Nintendo...LOL.

I was doing some random digging and found a song that Jeff recorded and mixed back in 1995. It's been awhile since I've found something old/new so I quickly bought the CD single on line. You'll see other familar names from Jeff's crew of the early-mid 90's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owdjCbKIp_A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlRLKc1nWUw More info... http://www.discogs.com/Jewel-T-Driftin/release/851995

I love this idea. It makes perfect sense! It's a modern day classic and it's the movie that defined "WILL SMITH, THE ACTOR." I remember seeing the midnight showing back in 1996. I'd definetly see it again. No question about it! ...and as I've said for years, there's no reason to make a sequel. There's no relevant way to revisit these characters and have them be attacked by aliens AGAIN.
