  1. Hey I wanted to play at my dj gig some good old school and some new school hip-hop but need to be able to find clean versions if they are dirty. I have all Will Smith and FPJJ Music so dont worry about that. But if you guess can post some suggests that would be awesome. Dj Mixen Master B is out! :dj:
  2. I may of been gone when this was talked about. Does anyone know when the interview is going to be posted with Wills producer or if already has.
  3. yes a tour with lots of music to come would be nice
  4. here is the will part of the article in case u cant get to it cause it took me awhile on my schools computer A four-month-old interview that Will Smith gave to a German newspaper - in which the movie star equated the devastation of 9/11 with an attack by "a racist cop" - is belatedly raising blood pressure in the United States.
  5. A BIG HAND FOR WILL Dec 3 2004 I, ROBOT (15, DVD £17.99/Two-disc £24.99) 4/5 BUY IT I’ve always had a soft spot for Will Smith, ever since the days of The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, the classic ’90s TV show that displayed his comedic talents to perfection. And after his 1993 stand-out performance in Six Degrees Of Separation – his first big screen starring role – I always knew that behind that grin there was a serious actor just dying to get out. For anyone who didn’t see him as a troubled con artist in Six Degrees, I, Robot is the next best place to find Will being at least semi-serious. This sci-fi actioner is not the most intellectual flick ever made, but for a Hollywood film it is decidedly un-cheesy and at least Smith gets to show there is a brain underneath that infectious, bubbly persona. Set in Chicago in 2035, Smith plays Agent Spooner, a disgruntled detective who is suspicious of the robot technology that inhabits his world. While everyone else embraces their electronic servants with gusto, Spooner still prefers to wear retro shoes and listen to a CD player you don’t need to speak instructions into. So when eminent scientist Dr Alfred Lanning (James Cromwell), the father of modern robotics, dies in an apparent suicide, Spooner immediately suspects Lanning’s most prized creation – new generation robot Sonny (Alan Tudyk). Also starring Bridget Moynahan as the psychologist assigned to keep an eye on Spooner, this is a well thought out adaptation of a collection of short stories from revered science fiction writer Isaac Asimov. Slickly shot yet never ostentatious or over the top, director Alex Proyas weaves a tale that is as intriguing as it is exciting. Smith responds well to Proyas’s intelligent direction, the futuristic world is believable and often brutally realistic, and even the dialogue is mostly corn-free. A lot of thought has gone into the special features. On disc one there are commentaries from all the main crew (but sadly nothing from Smith) a short and sweet Making Of movie, a gag reel, stills gallery and trailers for upcoming movies. For an extra seven quid you get another disc containing the I, Robot production diaries, a lot of talk about the post-production process – so serious film buffs can get ideas for their own multi-million dollar feature – plus details about the robots and visual effects process. There’s even some extended and deleted scenes, and a couple of tempting Easter eggs.

  10. Kwamé Is On Fire With New Songs With Tweet, Will Smith and More - Featured In Winter Issue Of Scratch Magazine Kwamé Producing For Tweet, Will Smith, Youngbloodz and Many More! Featured In Winter Issue Of Scratch Magazine! New York, NY (PRWEB) November 9, 2004 -- Kwamé's production has been in high demand these days! In the midst of the phenomenal success of Lloyd Banks' song "On Fire" in 2004, Kwamé was hard at work creating new sounds for the likes of Missy Elliott, Will Smith, Youngbloodz, and Toni Braxton. He graces the pages of the Winter issue of Scratch Magazine (p. 86-89) with an insightful look into his studio savvy. Over the past few years, Kwamé has done tracks for Mary J. Blige, LL Cool J, Lady May, and Dru Hill, to name a few. This year he produced Tweet's current single "Turn Da Lights Off" featuring Missy Elliott, and a second song entitled "We Don't Need No Water" from her upcoming album It's Me Again. Current releases featuring Kwamé's production include "So Afraid" from Jin's Rest Is History LP, and "Breezy" from pop sensation Jojo's self titled debut album. Stepping into 2005, Kwamé is keeping a hectic schedule in his Beat Factory studio with new singles coming up from Will Smith and Youngbloodz, as well as featured tracks on albums from Toni Braxton, Babs, Missy Elliott, Red Café, Freeway, Czar Nok, DJ Clue f/ NORE, and many more to come!

Born in Queens, New York, Kwamé was surrounded by musical influences as a child, including family friends such as Stevie Wonder, Lionel Hampton and Abdullah Ibraheem. He received a drum set from Lionel Hampton and a harmonica from Stevie Wonder, and went on to master several instruments. In addition to his jazz and soul roots, Kwamé also found himself enamored with the work of Prince, Morris Day, Kurtis Blow, Melle Mel, Slick Rick, Rakim, and Big Daddy Kane. Ultimately, it was the fusion of these flavors and styles that helped develop an incredibly unique flair that would make him into the man that the guys wanted to be, and the ladies all knew and loved. At the age of 16, he released the classic album The Boy Genius, which made Ego Trip's Book of Rap Lists for 1989's Top 25 albums. The project featured his first single "The Man We All Know and Love", the jazz influenced hit record "The Rhythm" and his clever remake of Chaka Khan's "Sweet Thing" especially for the ladies. He was insistent upon using live bands in his shows, and incorporated his musical background into creating innovative sounds in Hip Hop. His second full length project, A Day In The Life- A Polkadelic Adventure, was released only a year later and spawned two hits: "Ownlee Ewe" and "Oneovdabigboyz". Kwamé's fast-paced career pushed him into the limelight, and created a national fascination with his incredible talent and innovative fashion sense. Over the next four years, Kwamé went on to record two more albums entitled Nastee and Incognito. After the release of Incognito, Kwamé worked stealthily to hone his production abilities, producing tracks for Mary J. Blige for her No More Drama album, LL Cool J for 10, and Nick Cannon for the Drumline Soundtrack, to name a few. In 2004 the multi-platinum selling artist produced the hit single "On Fire" for Lloyd Banks, which catapulted the album Hunger for More straight to #1 on the charts for the G-Unit emcee. The album went gold within its first week, and has since been certified platinum. "On Fire" has also been nominated for 'Single Of The Year' for the 2004 Source Awards. Kwamé is busier than ever in his New York studio, The Beat Factory, and has been highly sought after from every corner of the industry. Will Smith enlisted Kwamé to produce the first single, "Switch", from his highly anticipated upcoming album. In their search for the next big hit, both Tweet and Youngbloodz brought Kwamé aboard to produce first singles for their respective 2005 albums as well. The list of tracks to be released next year continues to grow, as Toni Braxton, Freeway, T.I. and many others have been snapping up his incredible beats. Kwamé explains that his production style is very give and take when he works with artists. "I will have an idea for a hook or a song direction first and build music around that idea, then record it as if I'm doing a full song," he says. "This allows me to take it to artists and show them what direction I see the music going in, and then we work together to bring both of our ideas to life in the song." Looking back, he cites his work with 'Uncle L' to be a creative highlight. "I love all of the songs that I've done, but if I had to name a favorite song so far, it would have to be '10 Millions Stars' by LL Cool J. I've always respected LL's talent and career path, and I felt that this song brought out the raw lyrical vintage LL that everyone loves. Also, I incorporated a sample from Fame, a movie that inspired me to make music. For me, the song was sort of a tribute to what influenced me when I was younger, and the beat was just the sickest ever." Understanding how much music influenced him as a child, Kwamé dedicates a significant amount of his time working with kids. He holds mentoring workshops on music appreciation, production, writing and performing and has worked with various youth organizations including The Coca-Cola/Apollo Theater Academy, S.T.A.R.S. Youth Empowerment organization, the IMPACT Repertory Theatre (funded by Russell Simmon's RUSH Foundation), and the late Tupac's 'Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation'. He humbly expresses his gratitude for having longevity in his career, and for being able to give back to the community. "It's just a blessing to still be in the game. I never do work to be recognized, I do it because I love it, and I totally appreciate the love back." As for the future, Kwamé would like to delve into classical music, and perhaps do some scoring for movies or Broadway plays. "Expect the unexpected," he says of his direction. "Don't just expect hot rap records. My range is wide so you will hear anything from Pop to R&B to Gangsta to Rock and Gospel. I'm in it for the long haul. For the most part the music will be different. I take pride on experimenting and pushing the boundaries of music." For more information and to hear tracks from Kwamé, go to www.tygereye.net/kwame
