haha I love it - thanks Jeff and Nicole! That was great!

Ahhhh what did Jeff say?!!

Thanks all - guess I just critique myself too much lol. I cant wait to see the final product too. Kev - are you adding our (full?) names, location..? twitter handles?

Okay guys here's my video. Shot at 8 am right before I walked into work...lol. Took me about 10 attempts to get it down. Still not thrilled with it but it works I suppose. http://youtu.be/8jQ989gHdL4

I really enjoyed the different perspective that was presented in this episode. It's almost like I was having a one on one conversation with each of the guys. Overall, fantastic as usual. The new intro is really cool too. Nice job!

Julie - great video! I really enjoyed that. You completely summarized how JJFP makes me feel and the story about Shadow Dreams was fantastic. Yah Kev, I'm sorry, I just haven't gotten around to it but this week, tomorrow hopefully it will be done. Between work, parties and hockey, I haven't had much time. It's been on my mind. The 16th is a great deadline. Thanks for being flexible.

I just want to mention real quick, I also got some flack back in early HS (2002-04) about JJFP being my favorite hip-hop group. The flack ceased when Lost & Found dropped and "Switch" literally blew up iTunes and the radio. I realized during that time most "kids" don't know about the history of rap and all the greats artists, albums, songs...etc. Dialogue exchanged between a bunch of 15 year olds really doesn't have the background knowledge and ultimately is rather stupid. I was in HS when 50 Cent, Fat Joe, Jay-Z (Although I'm a huge Jay fan) were all blowing up, so this was really all of the "rap" people were familiar with. I'm unfortunately part of a generation that thinks 2pac and Biggie were the first rappers and greatest rappers of all-time. Very narrow-minded and not willing to even listen to older music without dismissing it. Man I used to sit online and just discover music. My method of exploring hip-hop or music in general (pre-YouTube) was going on Wikipedia or Rockonthenet.com , reading the history and going to Amazon.com and listening to samples. Once 2005 ushered in the YouTube era, discovering music just becomes so much easier. It's funny all these years later, I don't get any flack and people respect Will as a rapper. It just doesn't help when he hasn't released anything in 9 years....! lol

This video just says "Clean but still street...." LOL Brakes..that was outstanding. I really enjoyed that. I will have mine done within a couple days. I like how everyone is going to talk about Code Red...that album just never gets enough love. It's such a masterpiece.

I actually got to meet Dosage in Atlantic City at one of Jeff's shows last year. He was a real cool dude. I honestly didn't know much about him until after the show when I checked him out on YouTube. He's a pretty nice emcee.

Tyrese and Will are pretty funny together! *fingers crossed* for more Will on the mic!

Nice job Tim! Its a little hard to hear you though, at least it was for me anyway. I'll try to get mine done this week.

I've always wondered what happened to some of the artists on this album. Especially Paul Yamz since he did make a track with Eminem and I thought he had some skills for sure. It's ironic how Jeff had to push him to rap because he was done with it before this album even came out!

I'm definitely going with the Code Red album too. It's so easy to do Summertime since it's classic and timeless but Code Red is truly my favorite album. I think Jeff will be 48.

Thanks for all the videos! This was great news to bring in the New Year .....and we need more!! lol

What if Jeff comes across this post before his birthday? lol The second idea is better because we all have cell phones and can quickly film ourselves. So we have to pick just one track?! That's tough!! hahah! Lets do this guys!

Hmmm...I'm on board for this.I think we should make it personal from us collectively. Great idea!

Whoa! Talk about something from the archives - this was really cool. That album is just such a soulful album and is something I'll put on to mellow out to. I wish ATOJ was still around - I remember Jeff's website from around that time and the pics of ATOJ looked amazing. I would've loved to tour it and watch magic happen. Thanks Tim!

Merry Christmas to the JJFP family! Hope everyone has a joyful holiday!!!

That's a great accomplishment, not only to have a hit song but for it to be sampled years and years later on, great source of revenue income lol He never got paid from Will? I never knew that...I wonder why.

That was an exceptional read man. You got really spoiled 3 shows in 24 hours - it's almost been a year since I last saw Jeff and I need my fix ...lol Glad you had a great time, you're the epitome of a true fan!

Rocking with the GOAT is what I consider a 2008 Mama Said Knock You Out.....it's just incredible energy and I love the cutting on that track. It motivates me to workout - especially the music video lol.. Exit 13 was an ehh album. It had some great songs like Old School, Time for War, Rocking with the GOAT. but then some real garbage like Heartbeat, We Rollin, American Girl.. Authentic is definitely one of my fav. LL albums by far.

haha nice man...looking forward to it.

Have a great time Tim!!

Wow - great point Vipa! I never would've thought about it like that. I feel like I frustrate myself when I think about Will releasing something again. I just don't get it. I understand on the mainstream level it'd be difficult but on the other hand, nostalgia is powerful feeling. You don't need labels anymore, he could just release a track on twitter or something. He's had a lot of good opportunities to get back out there like MIB3 theme song, the tracks with Kanye West, doing a verse on Jeff's Summertime 3 mixtape...etc. He needs to brand himself/JJFP more online. When was the last time www.willsmith.com was open? He barely posts on his official page...I dont know, like I said, I drive myself crazy thinking about this lol

I'm with you guys....before I even played the video I knew what it was. 8 years riding on that freestyle, Don't get me wrong, I'm always happy to see Will pick up the mic but you can't tell me in 8 years, he hasn't written anything new.
