  1. That new trailer looks great, this should be an interesting movie.
  2. I got the album, and I am pretty impressed. Morning News, Ultimate Victory, Hip Hop Police, and I Think I Love You are just some of the highlights on this album. With all the talk about Kanye and 50, there should be just as much about this album, its that good.
  3. http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/inde...pired-new-album On November 6th, Jay-Z will release a new album inspired by the forthcoming Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe movie American Gangster, meaning he has now un-retired twice. The MC/label head, who declared he was quitting the game after releasing 2003’s The Black Album, says he found otherworldly inspiration to pen tracks after watching the film, which tells the story of Seventies Harlem heroin dealer Frank Lucas. “It was like I was watching the film, and putting it on pause, and giving a back story to the story,” Jay told the New York Times. American Gangster, which is directed by Ridley Scott and features T.I., Common and RZA in supporting roles, tells a bad-boy rags-to-riches story in which the hero (Washington) is a criminal audiences can root for. “It immediately clicked with me,” said Jay-Z, who has long rapped about his early days as a drug dealer. “Like Scarface, or any one of those films, you take the good out of it, and you can see it as an inspiring film.” The American Gangster soundtrack is being released by Def Jam and features songs by Bobby Womack, the Staple Singers and Sam & Dave, but Jay-Z’s album, which will be called American Gangster, is so far not officially connected to the film that inspired it. Jay told the Times he’s finished nine tracks so far, including “No Hook,” a song that enforces the “stop snitchin’” ideology and “takes you through this journey — his journey, my journey — so many people’s journey that come from the areas that we come from.” Calling last year’s Kingdom Come too “sophisticated” for some of his fans, Jay-Z said he sees American Gangster as a return to his street roots. “Watching that film, it brought back all these memories,” he said. “It took me back to those emotions.” There was also an article on allhiphop.com about this comeback as well, it sounds like it may actually happen.
  4. It seemed like a joke, I was waiting for her to snap out of her trance, but she didn't, she put no effort into that performance at all, a big diappointment.
  5. Thanks a lot for the article, can't wait for the film now.
  6. How about the Gettin' Jiggy Wit It Remix w/ Cam'ron and Big Pun? I have been dying to hear that for years.
  7. This will be an interesting battle, I think Kanye will overtake 50, 50's singles are not making any noise at all.
  8. This is certainly the weakest lineup they have had so far, I don't have a problem with those being honored, it is just that are more deserving (JJFP, Nas, Common).
  9. Regardless of them copying someone else's style or not, I still like the song a lot.
  10. Yeah, it certainly would be interesting to see them in a movie and/or song together.
  11. Yeah, I was never sure what that meant, but it makes sense now, thanks a lot.
  12. Yeah I saw that video, it was real funny.
  13. Hopefully this is true and we will finally have some new music!
  14. Suprised to see something like this coming from Master P, but a good thought nonetheless.
  15. Great article, really on point, and further highlights the need for Will to start putting out new music.
  16. I like Chamillionaire, the more music that I hear of his, the more I like it. He seems like he has his head on straight.
  17. Yeah, someone PLEASE upload it, I have always wanted to hear this.
