:yeahthat: :iagree: You took the words right out of my mouth! Love this album. Not his best, of course, but full of great tracks like 'I Can't Stop', '1,000 kisses' or 'I Gotta Go Home'. One of my favourite albums without any doubt, and definitely underrated.

DJ Jazzy Jeff and Biz Markie splash down at the Shelborne Hotel's Sunday pool party. By Bernard Hacker Published: March 27, 2008 Old-school, for people in their twenties to forties, is all about memories of growing up, from block parties and your uncle's Soul Train moves to Miami Vice-sytle silk shirts and Rev Run's Adidas Superstars. But old-school doesn't fit into a genre or on a shelf at the record store — at its essence, it's really just about the good old days and having fun. This Sunday, the Shelborne will go back to the future with its Nothing But an Old-School Pool Party, featuring an impressive lineup of DJs, including King Britt, Spinna, and Irie, with the event hosted by rappers Common and Skillz. Those names might not recall Wild Style or Doctor J's Afro, but also getting busy poolside will be two of the heaviest party rockers on the planet, DJ Jazzy Jeff and Biz Markie (a successful DJ as well as rapper). And between them, they've stocked up enough gold ropes and four-finger rings to set off an alarm at a Fort Knox border crossing. New Times spoke with both of these legends, who respectively are still on their A game today. Check-check it out. New Times:What were some memories of the first jams you went to? Jazzy Jeff: The block parties were everything. Somebody pulled out a stack of speakers and kind-of rocked — that was incredible. Big system, people outside, and everybody having a good time. Hopefully we can bring that back to Miami. Biz Markie: One of my fondest memories was seeing Master Don and the Def Committee outside of their building on 147th live. Seeing Master Don DJing, it was incredible. Also the first time I saw Jazzy Jeff DJing and DJ Cash Money, those are like my highlights. When was the first time you realized you wanted to get involved in music? Biz: I knew it since '78, when I first heard an L Brothers tape with Grand Wizard Theodore, and I just fell in love from there. Jeff: DJing was a big thing growing up. A lot of it was based in Philly — I don't think anybody has jumped in and said how important that was. There were a million DJs around, and I just became the guy in the neighborhood who would DJ all the parties. It was crazy because back then everyone was doing it for the love of it; nobody thought we were going to make a career out of it. We all talk about it today, how 20 years later guys have put their kids through college and have made a life basically off of DJing. I came up before scratching, where you played records and you kind of blended records. When the whole scratching thing came along, it was incredible to be around from the beginning. It was really a bunch of DJs that were learning all at the same time. You would be showing each other stuff; then when you got to the party, you would do something to show the people. That was a great time. Biz, you had a successful career first as an MC. How did you get into DJing? Biz: I started DJing in the early Nineties and developed my own style. I was always different in anything I did, because I go against the grain. Your record collection is legendary. How's the game now? Biz: I'll always be collecting vinyl. Same with toys, shoes, videos.... [With the Internet] there's a lot more a cappellas coming up, more MP3s than what I could find on vinyl. Any crazy stories or digging adventures? Biz: When I was shopping for the drums for "Nobody Beats the Biz," I found [the record] at a store on Utica [Avenue, in Brooklyn] that [Grandmaster] Flash and [Afrika] Bambaataa told me the name of, 'cause I scratched the name out. I slept in front of the store just so nobody could get that record. For a certain record, I wanted to buy out all the records so nobody else would get 'em. Jeff, you started your career doing shows with The Fresh Prince. Now you've got Skillz on the mike with you. How did that come about? Jeff: Skillz has been with me for about four, five years now; there's not too much that I do and he's not there. We hooked up in Miami during WMC.... Me bringing an MC is just me trying to bring back that element that people got out of. A lot of people got selfish, kind of looking at it like, I'm going to do it myself. We want to change the game up; let's make it a party. We've got a narrator that's going to tell you what to do. We're just trying to bring the excitement back. Have you done any work recently with Will? Jeff: Whenever Will does something musically, we hook up and end up doing a show. There's a possibility we may do some stuff this summer. A lot of it is just the scheduling. Biz, there have been rumors of you getting into the wrestling world and having your own Marvel character. What have you been up to outside of music? Biz: For Marvel, the money wasn't right and it never panned out. I have a TV show on Nickelodeon called Yo Gabba Gabba!, teaching the little kids how to beatbox. It's crazy fun. I also did Wild 'N Out for like a year with Nick Cannon; that's my family. What about you, Jeff, any return to the television screen? Jeff: I never say never. The reason why I didn't jump into it is because I didn't satisfy my music thing. Every time Will does something, he used to tell me to come to the set, but I would never go because I knew he was going to try to get me to jump in. But every time I watch the movies, I'm like, Damn, I could have played that part! Both of you are on the road DJing heavily these days. Are you recording at all away from the home studio? Jeff: When I travel around the world and DJ, I take my portable setup around with me. I pretty much record in every city I'm in, just to see [where] the vibe of where I'm at puts me.... It's cool, because a lot of times I'm so far away from the production side, so this way it allows me to take it with me. I've got a MOTU traveler interface, keyboard, my laptop, and Logic Pro. What projects are you two working on? Biz: DJing a lot, doing this Juice Crew movie called Vapors. It's about how me and Marley Marl brought everyone together — will be coming out soon. We're reuniting in Atlanta, doing spot dates, and then a full tour promoting the movie.... I'm [also] thinking about doing a new album, mixing the old stuff with new stuff. I've got some old stuff I've never put out. Jeff: After the last album [Return of the Magnificent], I've been pretty much around the world — the entire UK, Europe, Asia, Australia. This year I'm trying to focus on being in the U.S. a bit more, from Miami to Vegas, and just playing to people where I'm from. Me and Rhymefest are working on a Jeff and Fess album. A lot of times I don't like to say I'm working on a project as much as I just like to work. If a project turns into it out of work, then I'm good; I don't like to put constraints on myself. I would love to make six albums this year with six different people. What can someone who has never heard you DJ live expect? Jeff: I play everything. I came up in the era when DJs weren't categorized. A DJ played funk, soul, hip-hop, rock, whatever made the people move. I'll go from Mobb Deep to Justin Timberlake, some breakbeats — I'll cover the whole gamut — look for some really dope rock stuff, crazy electro. Anything you can fuse together to keep the people moving, I'm all for. Biz: I'm not close-minded; the way I do a party, I play everything. Certain parties take certain things. It's like I'm Mikey from Life cereal. Any memories of past visits to Miami? Jeff: I had a residency at Shine before it closed down for a second. The owner of Shine is a good friend of mine, so that was really cool. Biz: I always bumped into Luke Skyywalker; we were cool from '84 on. He used to DJ at a rollerskating rink. We would go looking for records, and he was just a good friend. I'm still cool with him. http://www.miaminewtimes.com/2008-03-27/mu...it-old-school/1

March 23, 2008 In another sign that the town is waking up from the slumber brought on by the WGA strike, Columbia has pre-emptively plunked down low-seven figures for "The Long Run," a spec by scribe Stephen Belber. Will Smith will produce via his Overbrook banner. Also producing are Overbrook's James Lassiter and Ken Stovitz. Smith is not attached to star. The script centers on a journalist who helps exonerate a highly charismatic death row inmate of a crime he didn't commit. When the former inmate is recruited to run for elected office, the journalist leaves his post to orchestrate his rise to political prominence but soon faces a crisis of conscience as he discovers that his friend might be guilty of murder after all. "This script is timely and provocative with two great parts," said Columbia president Doug Belgrade, who also praised the company's long-standing relationship with Overbook and cited its work on "The Pursuit of Happyness" as making them "the perfect producer for this dramatic material." Playwright Belber wrote the script before directing his feature debut, the Jennifer Aniston romantic comedy "Management," which he helmed during the strike. His reps at ICM waited until the appropriate time after the strike to package it. Belgrade will oversee the project. Overbrook's Jeff Sommerville brought the project into the company. Belber ("The Laramie Project") wrote the high-flying spec "The Power of Duff," which is set up at Universal and has Jamie Foxx attached to star. MGM releases "Management" in September. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/conten...8e76881432d63b5

DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - Live at Union Square

I disagree. Reality shows are the opposite of reality. It's all fake. It's just acting and, for me, a waste of time.

Hope you win! :thumbsup:

Definitely, Sean Connery. Apart from being the best actor of all those, he's the original James Bond. Plus, 'Goldfinger' (1964) is a masterpiece.

By JIM SLOTEK and KEVIN WILLIAMSON -- Sun Media He's played a real-life champ in Ali, and various forms of action-men fighting aliens, robots and post-apocalyptic vampires. But Will Smith still doesn't have a sword-and-sandals epic to his credit like Brad Pitt (Troy) and Colin Farrell (Alexander). Enter Taharqa, the last Pharaoh of the 25th or Nubian Dynasty (the one in which blacks of Ethiopian descent ran Egypt). Carl Franklin (Devil In A Blue Dress) has already banged out a script called The Last Pharaoh, full of Ethiopians battling Assyrians for the throne of Amun-Ra. Now it's being polished by Chris Hauty (Never Back Down), so look for some mixed martial arts to excite the masses. "It's an open writing assignment from Will's company. It's something he's taken a big interest in," says Hauty, who's had a few projects fall apart in recent years (including an animated version of Moby Dick that Dreamworks started working on and dropped because it decided to get out of traditional animation after Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron gave up the ghost at the box office). The actual "last Pharaoh," for you hair-splitters out there, was Cleopatra. http://jam.canoe.ca/Movies/Artists/S/Smith...078376-sun.html

Some info: Celebrity trainer and fitness consultant Darrell Foster, who has been involved in boxing since he first entered the ring as a fighter in 1972, uses his extensive knowledge of the sport to train celebrities like Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith, Antonio Banderas and Woody Harrelson. Although he also works with people who are not celebrities, Foster takes his responsibilities as a celebrity fitness trainer seriously. He teaches the actors how to fight, not how to fake it. "They have to learn the basics and how to take a punch," he says. A licensed boxing and fitness trainer and emergency medical technician, Foster is the owner of Omega Bodies, Inc., a fitness and fighting outlet based in California. He not only works with celebrities on coordinating their fight scenes, but also on their lifestyle and weight management, because, he says, "a lot of diseases are lifestyle-related." Actor Will Smith says Foster is an asset to his business team. "I first started training with Darrell to prepare for my role as Muhammad Ali for the film Ali," he says. He has continued to use Foster for his other roles in Men in Black II, Bad Boys II and I, Robot. "I train with Darrell because he is simply the best." The actor's transformation into a young Muhammad Ali for the film even impressed the champ himself. Muhammad Ali says Foster is extremely talented and an exceptional trainer. "He was able to train Will to fight as I did, to dance around the ring and be light on his toes. Will's transformation into Muhammad All the boxer was total and complete" he adds. Foster also trained Smith's wife, Jada, for her strenuous fight scenes in The Matrix sequels and in the film Collateral. He says when training Jada for The Matrix, he had to consider her post-partum condition, because she had recently given birth to her daughter Willow. "We had to take the training a little slower," he says. But in her recent film, Collateral, he almost had to do a reverse training for her, encouraging her to "consume a few more carbs" and incorporating more cardiovascular fitness into her training regimen. "Both Jada and Will are real hard workers who will do whatever it takes," he says. __________________________________________________________ This is his filmography according to IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0287756/ And here's a video where we can see him acting in IAL & Hitch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zF9Padvkr_w The reason why I made this topic is because I've found a very interesting article titled "Survival of the Fittest" explaining Will's diet manipulations and workout routines for 'I am Legend'. There are also pretty cool pictures. Here yoou go: Article: http://www.omegabodies.com/THE-FITERATI-REPORT.pdf Just thought I'd share this! :thumbsup:

New Images from HANCOCK! Written by Stephanie Sanchez Thursday, 20 March 2008 Columbia Pictures has released a few new images from HANCOCK, starring Will Smith due out July 2, 2008! There are heroes... there are superheroes... and then there's Hancock (Will Smith). With great power comes great responsibility -- everyone knows that -- everyone, that is, but Hancock. Edgy, conflicted, sarcastic, and misunderstood, Hancock's well-intentioned heroics might get the job done and save countless lives, but always seem to leave jaw-dropping damage in their wake. The public has finally had enough -- as grateful as they are to have their local hero, the good citizens of Los Angeles are wondering what they ever did to deserve this guy. Hancock isn't the kind of man who cares what other people think -- until the day that he saves the life of PR executive Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman), and the sardonic superhero begins to realize that he may have a vulnerable side after all. Facing that will be Hancock's greatest challenge yet -- and a task that may prove impossible as Ray's wife, Mary (Charlize Theron), insists that he's a lost cause. Check out the four new images from HANCOCK below! http://www.iesb.net/index.php?option=com_c...7&Itemid=99
