NEW YORK (AP) — Snoop Dogg says he was "born again" during a visit to Jamaica in January, is changing his name to Snoop Lion and is ready to make music that his "kids and grandparents can listen to."
The artist known for gangster rap is releasing a reggae album called "Reincarnated" in the fall.
The West Coast rapper held a news conference in New York on Monday. Later he played five songs for a small crowd, including one called "No Guns Allowed." It features his daughter.
The album will be followed with a documentary of the same name. It features him making music and will include some personal elements of his life, a producer of the film said. It will debut at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.

Arrested Development is celebrating 20 years in the game with a new album titled Standing At The Crossroads. I know many of you are are at least semi-familiar with their eclectic mix of Hip-Hop, R&B/Soul and funk. They truly innovators and one of the most consistent groups in Hip-Hop. This album is filled with forward-thinking and positive vibes, just like all of their others.

BEST OF ALL, THEY HAVE PUT OUT THE ALBUM FOR FREE!! Do yourself a favor and download the album now! Here's the link...

Funny....I laughed out a loud a few times.

I wanted share the pic of the shirt, mixtape, and signed lanyard that Jeff sent me...

Front of the shirt...

Hey all, since I finally have some free time I posted a picture in Jazzy's Throwback Thursday for the first time in months. I was hoping you guys could show your support by liking my pic. It features a lot of my JJ+FP collection.

I hope his new movie is an album.

Holy crap! I just watched the whole video and this person who uploaded it added Marlon Waynes parody "Mr. Uglyman" (from In Living Color) to the end of the video!! LOL

Well nobody puts out classics anymore, there's some "good" albums out there but nothing groundbreaking these days, I actually look more for classics from previous years these days than the new albums....

Was it Project Pat or Petey Pablo?

They should really put out some kind of "Lost Tapes" album...Just a collection of unreleased material from over the years...

OWL CITY - Fireflies
Ocean Eyes (2009)

This normally isn't my flava but I just like this guy's vibe. His sound is so unique.

Cozmo, i think we'll be on the same page with this. It's still one of LL's weakest tracks ever. The production is just 2 bad 2 keep my attention for the lyrics. LL has never slipped lyrically. It's the the weakest of the production that's been hurting his music lately.
