  1. Karl Malone looked pretty strong last night, I think that even if he wins the ring this year he should keep on playing until he breaks Kareem's record, even if that means that he has to go to another team to be the go to guy,'cause he's still capable of scoring at least 20 a game if he had the ball enough. I would be happy to see him go to the Bulls next year, if that happens Pippen won't retire and who knows maybe Jordan will come back and it'll be a dream team reunion! And the Knicks should give Mutombo more playing time so he could stuff the crap out of the Nets, who were pretty stupid to not play him last year enough against Duncan and Robinson and they were even dumber to release him in the offseason. If Mutombo plays it doesn't matter how many guys on the Knicks are hurt 'cause it's not like Mourning's gonna make a comeback for the Nets to win, the Nets are vulnerable.
  2. I'm a Mets fan so I'm sick of the Yankees winning every year! I think the Red Sox will take it to the Yankees finally and they'll face the Mets in the World Series like it's '86 again. I could be dreaming about the Mets going to the World Series but hell the Marlins won the World Series when nobody picked them to make the playoffs last year!
  3. The list that I made are my personal favorites and nothin' will change how I feel about the rappers I listen to, I could assorte them in any order, but it's hard to make a perfect list. I think that Ice Cube is a great artist and is also one of the original M.C.'s that started to act 'cause of "Boyz In Da Hood"(a classic hip-hop movie) and I don't like how they mention Dr. Dre before they mention him. There's no doubt in my mind how great of a lyricist Biggie was but he learned a lot of his style from Big Daddy Kane like Nas did, but Nas is still alive and putting out albums and Biggie only put out 2 albums(I don't count Born Again 'cause that's more like a remix album did Diddy produced), and 2Pac is the greatest ever 'cause he was able to balance his rapping/acting career better than Will Smith,LL Cool J, and Queen Latifah have been able to do. I don't think that any of the new rappers coming out now will be able to knock of what the legends of the game have done 'cause if it wasn't for Run-DMC, Sugar Hill Gang, Grandmster Flash and The Furious Five, Kurtis Blow, Whoodini, Doug E.Fresh, Slick Rick, LL,JJFP,KRS-ONE,Public Enemy,Ice Cube, and countless other ol' school pioneers, no rapper today would go platinum 'cause alot of ol' school rappers didn't sell records but they created hip-hop music. Originality in hip-hop is rare these days that's why legends will neva fade even when they're ol' and grey!
  4. [quote=Jazzy Julie,Apr 14 2004, 11:38 AM]haha wot about: My love for you is like a river, its like a (something) inside that makes my soul shiver. one kiss from you is more precious than gold, so lets go get some bbq and get busy. haha classic!! :bowrofl:[/quote] Hell yeah, that was a great episode and that was funny when Jazz impressed that girl Will was tryin' to get wit by sayin' that he was Raphael Delaghetto!
  5. Take it back to the essence, Fresh Prince is the way that he should throw it back to. LL didn't change his rap name to James Smith after all these years, so Will should keep it real!
  6. [quote=Jazzy Julie,Apr 18 2004, 08:43 AM]Ive not really joined in this convo so far bcoz i honestly dont know what record label would be best 4 Will, i think the majority of record labels end up screwing the artist over at some point, the best thing would b 4 Will to do his own label but i dont know how that would work and it would also take up a lot more of his time.[/quote] Record companys are no different than sports team management is because look at what the Knicks did to Patrick Ewing, after 15 yrs. of dominant basketball for them, he wasn't allowed the opportunity to retire as a Knick on his own terms because they thought that he was too old and fans want to see young guys. Well look at how crappy the Knicks have been since he was released(they finally got Isiah Thomas to sign Maurbury). You can say the same thing about Karl Malone when he was released from the Jazz. People said that he sold out when he signed wit the Lakers, but the Jazz dissed him and they missed the playoffs this year. Columbia probably thinks that Will is too old and won't go platinum anymore 'cause music fans want to hear younger m.c's like Nelly and Chingy(who everyone will hate in 10 yrs.!), but Will doesn't need no record thatdoesn't care about him!
  7. How many movies does Will have to do? He's a great actor but we've been hearing more news about his upcoming movies in the next few yrs. than we do about his next album, which I hope comes out this year! Is Will strung that Eminem won an Oscar and he still didn't? I find that to be bull**** when Eminem can't act!! :cussing:
  8. I would like to see Reggie Miller win a title, if I had it my way, it would be the Rockets vs. Pacers in the Finals, that way either Reggie(Pacers) or Mark Jackson ( Rockets) will win a title before they hang up their sneaks. Mark Jackson's been in the NBA since LL Cool J signed to Def Jam! Another Brooklyn point guard Stephon Marbury deserves to beat J. Kidd 'cause when it's all said and done Marbury will go to the hall of fame like Mark Jackson. Yo JJ+FP 2004, I still play NBA Live 2003 'cause that game has a lot of ol' school players in it. I have Shaq,Magic, and Wilt on the Lakers, I put Larry Bird on the Celtics, Patrick Ewing and John Starks are back on the Knicks, Dominique Wilkins and Spud Webb(I re-created him) are back on the Hawks,Hakeem returns to the Rockets, and I even put Will Smith on the Sixers at PF! But I have the Bulls return to the promiseland wit this lineup:Big Ted(Iput myself at Starting C at 7'2, even though in reality I'm only 5'10),Antonia Davis, Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Mark Jackson as my starters. I have a deep bench:Charles Oakley(he plays tough D), Mugsy Bogues(I re-created him and he's annoying taller guys again),Rober Parish(he's dunkin' at 50 yrs. old), Steve Kerr,Steve Smith, Eddy Curry, Tyson Chandler, Jamal Crawford, Jerome Williams, and Nasir Jones(I put Nas in the game too as backup PF). I love to play one-on-one in that game having Jordan go against Dominique or Kobe or me go against Ewing or Shaq.
  9. [quote=jj,fp2004+Apr 18 2004, 10:22 AM]i'm glad to hear you are a bulls fan because i'm a huge fan of jordan but after he retired i don't have a favorite team but i'll always love the bulls more than others and i was very happy when pippen came back... to bad he got injured  :tear: by the way, i'm quite sure pippen announced his retirement a couple of months ago when he realized the injury is to bad.[/quote] Jordan and Pippen were the JJFP of the NBA, they're not the same without each other. Pippen gets overlooked by Jordan's personna like Jazzy Jeff gets overlooked by Will Smith's popularity. Jordan was a legend but he couldn't lead the Wizards to the playoffs 'cause he needed Pippen and Pippen made the playoffs every year of his career until this year('cause he was injured)but never won a ring without Jordan. I would also say the main reason why "Born 2 Reign" wasn't popular was 'cause Jazzy Jeff wasn't on the album. I would like to see Jazzy Jeff go platinum wit one of his mixtapes and Pippen win a ring without Jordan so they would get the respect they deserve, but they don't care 'cause they like to give back to the young'eons in the game. When Pip retires, he should be the Bulls coach and lead 'em back to the promised land! It could happen 'cause the Eastern Conference is weaker than when Jordan and Pip were on the Bulls. The Bulls always beat da Knicks in the '90s, but the '90s Knicks would have been to the finals every year in this decade, 'cause these teams are terrible, Ewing and Reggie would have had rings by now if they were in their prime now.
  10. Hey Jim I guess you were right, but I wonder why the Devils keep firing their coaches every time they don't win the Stanley Cup, at least they make the playoffs every year unlike the NY Rangers! Being a coach is a crappy job 'cause they always get fired when it's the players that screw up. I thought the Bulls shouldn't have fired Bill Cartwright,'cause the Bulls were losing not because he's a crappy coach, but their legendary player Scottie Pippen was on the injured list for most of this season. Bill was the only center on the Bulls that I truely respected because he was a tough guy wit a lot of heart, I liked Robert Parish too but he was too old to play when he was with Bulls. Even the Nets, who I don't like much, dogged out Byron Scott, who took 'em to their only NBA Finals in team history. The Nets won't go to the Finals even if they beat the Knicks in the 1st round because Byron has a lot of heart.
  11. What are sayin' man, Willenium sold 3 million copies! Will doesn't tour because he has to take his time to study scripts and get himself ready for his movies. It takes a lot of work to make a movie and it takes a lot of work to do a tour. JJFP are the hardest workers in the entertainment industry for these reasons. At the time Willenium was released Will was beginning to train for "Ali" and work on other movies at that time that were coming out. If you want to see Will go on tour he's gonna have to chill on makin' movies or else the movies and the tour will be wack because to be the champ you have to prepare yourself. It's gonna get harder for Will to keep the music fans if he doesn't stay out there wit albums 'cause 90% of fans out there ain't loyal like us. They won't even buy the albums, they'll bootleg them. I'm sure millions of people even listened to Born 2 Reign but they all downloaded the album instead of buying the real thing. When you're an artist, you take alot of pride in your work, because even me, I like to write rap songs, but I don't take the industry too serious enough to try and get a record deal, I only care what I think about them because I take a lot of energy to express my emotion, and it feels good to express yourself. The bottom line is something that Will says many times, "when I eat, I work, when I sleep I work, when I'm having sex I work, I work real hard in everything I do, that's what seperates me from alot of entertainers out there." I feel the same damn way too, who knows, maybe one day I might have my own record company.
  12. What's up, welcome to the board! :grouphug:
  13. Well my favorite team is the Bulls who didn't make the playoffs again but I'mma stay loyal to them, they would of made the playoffs this year if Pippen was healthy, I hope he doesn't retire 'cause he plays hard. I always like watching NBA games 'cause B-Ball's the ultimate game, you n'ah mean. Who's your team?
  14. Is anyone gonna watch the NBA Playoffs this weekend? I couldn't believe it that there's actually gonna be some competitve games this year! That Shaq/Yao matchup is gonna be def, but Yao might need his coach Ewing to suit up in order to stop Shaq, 'cause he's still holdin' it down. Believe it or not, Ewing's old team, the Knicks will beat the Nets in 7 games, so don't get hyped Nets fans, enjoy this series while you can. Your team will be watching the rest of the playoffs like everyone else before May.
  15. [quote=TopDawg14,Apr 17 2004, 12:57 AM]AJ, I think you missed my point. What I was trying to say is that Will should forget about signing with some label that's concerned all about album sales and TRL appearances. That's what rap is about today - straight commercialism. It's all about "hot" beats and hooks. There is nothing that moves me in rap today. I remember how I felt the first time I heard Heavy D. & The Boyz "We Got Our Own Thang". I remember how I felt the very first time I heard Slick Rick's "Children's Story" or Kool Moe Dee's "I Go To Work". I can't remember the last time I felt like that. Will has said he wants an old-school vibe with his next album. I doubt that labels are looking for retro-vibes in rap. They want what's "hot". They want CDs that are going to move units and be on TRL everyday. If Will wants to release the album independently or through the internet then that's all good with me. I just want Will to continue to make music that he wants - and not what these labels want. I want Will to control his music and his image and not these stupid labels who don't know a thing about hip-hop.[/quote] I like to hear hip-hop that has a message too it and is also fun at the same time. The realest hip-hop now is on the underground scene where a lot of us are not looking and the mainstream labels just wanna get rich off of music that we won't listen to 10-15 yrs. from now like we listen to albums like "He's the Dj, I'm The Rapper", "Code Red", "The Adventures Of Slick Rick", and "Illmatic" after all these years.
  16. I like that skit where he makes fun of Lil' Jon, man that was funny as hell! Dave Chappelle is the new school Martin Lawrence!
  17. True, true, it's too late for Will to be an underground rapper but he doesn't have to sign with a pop label and put out garbage music. 2Pac also sold a lot of albums when he was alive because of his artistic expression and people respected him for that and he did films too. 2Pac wasn't selfish and conceited either and Will's the same in that sense! Nobody said that 2Pac sold out, so why should we say that about Will? If Will doesn't stay true to his art then I won't be his fan anymore simple as that! I lost respect for Jay-Z 'cause he became too concerned over being hot and announced retired from rap when he claimed he couldn't make any more hits. No rapper's bigger than the game, every rapper deserves a chance to shine. No rapper can last in the spotlight as long as Will has been 'cause they lose their soul to money. If Will becomes selfish in that sense, I don't want to hear another album from him like I don't want to hear Jay-Z. I know that Will's not that way, so I still support him! How would Jazzy Jeff feel if his potna was acting tainted like that?
  18. [quote=JumpinJack AJ,Apr 16 2004, 01:01 PM]My main point is that Will isn't in the same place as P.E. and KRS-One. They are all legends and pioneers in Hip-Hop...but Will simply wouldn't work that way by dropping albums with no videos, single, or airplay.[/quote] Sure Will sold more records than P.E. and KRS-ONE has over their careers, but that doesn't make him less of a hip-hop legend than they are! What r u sayin' man, Will ain't no sell-out, he makes music for people that like ol' school hip-hop and I didn't hear Will complain when he record sales went low. You gotta face it man, Will's too mature for TRL, what do want him to do, make a commercial song wit those wack artists Chingy and Britney Spears, or even that dumb chick Jessica Simpson just to sell records? Hell no I ain't hearing that man! :cussing: He's not as conscious as KRS-ONE but he's still a legend though! We shouldn't just base his career on record sales, we should base it on makin' people feel good wit his talented lyrics and he wouldn't give a damn how many like it, as long as somebody likes it, he'll keep doing it!
  19. [quote=willreign,Apr 16 2004, 04:33 AM]go on his own... and open new record label or just publish himself... it can b great...[/quote] Most record labels are weak so Will would be better off promoting the album himself on Overbrook than joing another label. And to Jumping Jack AJ, I remember that Public Enemy released their last CD the same time "Born 2 Reign", but they didn't sell much records but at least they're still out there. Even KRS-ONE's still out there man, he released his last CD last summer and is probably working on anotha one by now. It's all about stayin' in the game, not sellin' records. Will has enough awards and platinum plaques already, he should just keep on rappin' like Rickey Henderson kept on playing baseball for 25 years, even though he broke the stolen base record 12 years ago,Will won the 1st rap grammy 16 years ago, what more does he have to prove?
  20. bigted

    mib 3

    I don't think that I wanna see Will make anotha MIB movie, 'cause he should just leave it at 2 MIB movies and move on. Those 2 were great, but if MIB3's wack, then it'll ruin the MIB legacy!
  21. My two favorite things in life hip-hop music and NBA Basketball was better back when I was in Middle School('97-99) than it is now! Mostly all the great NBA players retired since then(except for Shaq,Kevin Garnett) and I'm not even that hyped for watching the NBA playoffs this year when it's not that high of a competiveness and aggression like when Michael Jordan, Dennis Rodman, Charles Barkley, Alonzo Mourning, Patrick Ewing, John Starks, and even Mugsy Bogues(who showed a lot of heart for a little guy) were all in the league. Hip-hop is the way same too 'cause back in '98 when MTV came to Seaside hip-hop was hotter than in '02 when MTV came back to my 'hood again.
  22. [quote=DevilsJim89,Apr 14 2004, 01:41 PM]I have... "parents just don't understand" and "girls ain't nothing but trouble" haha for real though. They're so easy to use in real life.[/quote] They're the lines that apply a lot in my life too!
  23. MIBII was able to compete wit Spiderman back in the summer of '02(I liked both of them) so I Robot should be able to compete wit Spiderman 2 this summer. I'm lookin' more though for Will's album to drop more than his next movie.
  24. [quote=WildWildWillennium,Apr 14 2004, 01:54 PM]I listen 2 this song the least off Willennium, but the lyrics are dope...I just don't feel the track 2 much overall. I would have liked it better if FP waz more aggressive on it, and Lil' Kim probably shouldn't even be on the song...i'd rather have someone like Queen Latifah replacing her...that'd be hot. I don't wanna diss this track...but I think it's one of the weaker trax on the album.[/quote] I agree wit you on that one, the track's a'ight but it didn't really stand out as much as the other tracks on the album.
  25. I can't believe that "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" came out that long ago! I was in middle school at that time and I remember how much I enjoyed that song as well as the "Big Willie Style" album. Now it's 2004 and I ain't even in high school anymore!! Next year I won't even be considered a teenager. I don't wanna get old!
