DJ Jazzy Jeff Highlights Obscure Michael Jackson Tracks With Mixtape He's the King, I'm the DJ features 49 tracks, including some lesser-known songs. DJ Jazzy Jeff is used to being around royalty. He manned the turntables for the Fresh Prince in the late '80s before becoming Will Smith's TV sidekick. Now, the Philadelphia native is set to release his latest mixtape, He's the King, I'm the DJ dedicated to the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson. "After Mike passed, I really started digging, and I found a bunch of stuff that I didn't know Mike had, especially with the Jackson 5," Jeff told MTV News. "He had a whole bunch of albums that go completely past people. I think people just go for [popular songs like] 'I Want You Back,' 'Never Can Say Goodbye' — and there was a bunch of obscure albums that all had really good stuff on them. Then it was hard, because I wanted to keep it one CD and not make it a Mike anthology. I wanted to just make it something that was entertaining, that you could just play from the beginning to end." The 49-song mixtape is sponsored by Undcrwrn apparel and will be available for free download on their site starting Monday (October 26), on the eve of premiere of the concert documentary, "Michael Jackson's This Is It." The mixtape cover, featuring an illustrated take on Jeff and Smith's album He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper, is also printed on a T-shirt from Udrcrwn, retailing for $32. Jeff said he was inspired to do the mixtape after fellow DJ Mick Boogie suggested putting his playlist together as a proper release. "I did it exactly as I would play it out live," Jeff explained. "I kind of wanted to give a feel like you heard it in a club. I didn't necessarily want to go in a certain order, 'cause everybody in the world plays certain Michael Jackson songs. And I wanted to play songs that not everyone plays, play some obscure album cuts. And if you listen to it, I have some a capella and versions of songs that not everyone had heard. So, I kind of wanted to mix it up and keep people off guard. Just give them an example of all that Michael was like." The set features a range of MJ music, from classics like "Human Nature" and "Billie Jean" to not-so-familiar remixes, including a Pete Rock take on the Jackson 5's "2-4-6-8," featuring CL Smooth, and mix of "Rock With You," featuring Fela Kuti. "He just has a lot of good songs," Jeff said. "That's what I really wanted to focus on. You can go to any club in the world and hear 'Billie Jean,' you can hear 'Beat It,' you can hear 'Wanna Be Starting Something' — those are his main staples that an Eskimo in Alaska knows."

Haha! U did it again :laugh: I have to agree with you on the cover though: it's ugly.

Yes, it's decent. The beat is great and her voice still sounds pretty good. I'm glad she's back to music after all that happened. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXsSg-9jwi4

Dude you're always complaining :laugh:

"From director Clint Eastwood, 'Invictus' tells the inspiring true story of how Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) joined forces with the captain of South Africas rugby team, Francois Pienaar (Matt Damon), to help unite their country. Newly elected President Mandela knows his nation remains racially and economically divided in the wake of apartheid. Believing he can bring his people together through the universal language of sport, Mandela rallies South Africas underdog rugby team as they make an unlikely run to the 1995 World Cup Championship match." The poem 'INVICTUS' by William Ernest Henley, from which Nelson Mandela drew strength while in prison. "Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll. I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul."

I knew someone would say something about the picture :laugh: That scene is gonna be epic.

Stallone, Arnie, Willis film 'Expendables' Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis have filmed their scene together for The Expendables. The '80s action movie stars, who launched the Planet Hollywood restaurant together in 1991, united this Saturday for Stallone's latest film, about a team of mercenaries who head to South America to take down a dictator. Ethelmae's Blog, which is linked to the production, described the key scene as "atomic". "At 8:10am with three cameras rolling the biggest action icons of our time went to work," wrote the blogger. "I thought it was electric in Brazil when all of the Expendables stepped on set - but today was atomic!!!! The whole crew was mesmerised as we watched the three of them play off of each other in a pivotal scene that sets up the whole movie. "While I can't/don't want to give too much away I can tell you that Arnold's character is Trench and Bruce is Church, the scene was shot in an empty church without extras and minimal set." Describing the trio's reunion further, the site continued: "I walked to the set with [Arnold] and watched as the 3 guys greeted each other with excitement and anticipation. "Bruce looked amazing - very fit, beautiful bald head and that smirky smile. Sly looked relaxed but definitely ready to put this puppy to bed. Arnold had a stogie in his mouth, a giant watch on his arm and was constantly making jokes." The Expendables is scheduled to open in cinemas on August 20, 2010. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/news/a183876/stallone-arnie-willis-film-expendables.html

Chris Brown says Will Smith reached out to him Chris Brown says Hollywood megastar Will Smith was one of the first people to reach out to him when his life began to unravel. October 21, 2009, (Splash News) - Chris Brown says Hollywood megastar Will Smith was one of the first people to reach out to him when his life began to unravel. Brown, who is serving probation and community service for assaulting singer Rihanna, told a New York radio station: "As a young black man myself, I need older black male role models to step in and kind of mould me, not people bashing me, 'cause that's not how you learn from mistakes." Brown said Smith offered him advice after he assaulted Rihanna, his former girlfriend. When he was asked how people should feel about him, he said: "Honestly, with me, it's not a thing about how you should feel. Just be human. Because at the end of the day, I'm human. Of course you're gonna have your thoughts and opinions. I'm not gonna say they're wrong. But at the end of the day, it's not right to judge someone. People make mistakes all the time. I'm learning from my mistakes everyday and I regret it every second." Brown is subject to a restraining order to stay away from Rihanna. http://www.sawfnews.com/gossip/60911.aspx#

BTW, where is Janet? :laugh:

HOLLYWOOD megastar Will Smith is desperate to land his dream role - on EASTENDERS. Will has begged BBC bosses for a cameo on Albert Square after becoming obsessed with the show. The former Fresh Prince of Bel Air's addiction started when he visited the UK this year promoting his film Seven Pounds. Will, 41 - Hollywood's highest paid actor last year - said: "I was just chilling in my hotel and EastEnders was on TV. I didn't even know what it was, but I literally could not stop watching it. "It was like a week's worth of episodes in one. Before I knew it, all I had done was get room service and waste a whole afternoon watching this show I'd never heard of! "It was so real and gritty. American soaps are all about the beautiful people and being cheesy. This soap had everything. "There was fighting, people sleeping around - it had it all going on! I'm a bit busy but when things quieten down I'd love to do a cameo. I could make a big entrance in the pub, as you guys call it, and be like: 'Hey, girl let's take this outside.' " Will wants to start a campaign to get the soap shown on BBC America once more. The channel axed 'Enders broadcasts in the US in 2003. It is now shown only on a subscription satellite channel. The star added: "If the BBC boys are reading this, sort it out, man and start showing it again! Get it back on our TV screens." http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/2688410/Hollywood-star-Will-Smith-is-desperate-to-land-his-dream-role-in-British-soap-opera-EastEnders.html

If you were a fan of the sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, then you'll want to tune in for this Thursday's episode of GSN's Catch 21. Three former "Banks" family members will be playing the game! Host Alfonso Ribeiro played Carlton Banks on the show, which was hugely popular from 1990-1996 (go ahead, go do The Carlton for a moment, I'll wait... ). Co-stars James Avery (Philip Banks), Tatyana Ali (Ashley Banks), and Karyn Parsons (Hilary Banks) will all be on hand for this Fresh Prince reunion episode of Catch 21. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air starred Will Smith, who I guess had other plans the day of the game show taping. It was also responsible for one of the most instantly recognized, easily stuck in your head, ripe for the parodying theme songs of any sitcom, ever. This should be a fun episode to watch! The show begins at 6:30pm Eastern, Thursday October 22nd, on GSN. http://gameshows.about.com/b/2009/10/20/fresh-prince-of-bel-air-reunion-on-catch-21-this-week.htm
