I was so shocked when I saw 50 Cent on Loyal To The Game. He's such a terrible rapper and I'll NEVER understand how he became so popular. But I have to say Eminem's version of Runnin' is amazing. There was a HORRIBLE remix released as a single in the UK in 1998. :poke:
And does anyone know if there's any plans to release more unreleased Notorious B.I.G material? I remember seeing an album by him called "Duets" on some release schedule, but it never came out.

Sorry, didn't mean to be rude. I'm just impatient. :cold: Thanks Hero1!
-
I've never seen this one. Does it exist?
-
Could you share an MP3 at all? :speechless:
-
He'll probably do some bigger concerts too.
-
Thanks for the list! Summertime only number 29!
That was the 1994 re-release. It got to number 8 in 1991.

Hope you enjoy these stats. :thumb: The bolded number is the song's peak position and the number at the end is how many weeks the song stayed in the charts for. I can't believe how badly most of the Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince songs did here, especially Parents Just Don't Understand which seems to be semi well known.

i can hardly understand a word he says..
That's the thing. I think a lot of the sinister undertones in dancehall music fly over most peoples heads outside Jamaica cause it's so hard to understand! :sad6:
-
hey Welome to the board Shellshock...
Thanks. :peace: It's good to find a decent Will Smith forum at last. There seems to be quite a lot of UK posters here.

The remix IS on the UK version
I'll edit that bit out! I didn't realise it was a hidden track on there. I don't think I've ever listened to We Won't the whole way through. -
Considering the positive message Will brings, I'm surprised he worked with this guy who advocates the murdering of gay people in his music. Here are some of his charming lyrics:
Elephant Man - A Nuh Fi Wi FaultBattyman fi dead!
Please mark we word
Gimme tha tec-nine
Shoot dem like bird
Shoot them [queers] like birds
Queers must be killed!
Please mark my words
Give me the Tec-9 (semi-automatic assault pistol)
Shoot them like birds
Elephant Man - We Nuh Like Gay
Battyman fi dead! Tek dem by surprise
Get a shot inna yu head, inna mi big gun collide.
Gimme me Tec-9 General B, wid de chrome wah a shine
Shot out ah bugger-man
Queers must be killed! Take them by surprise
I am going to shoot you in the head, you are going to meet up with my big gun
Give me the Tec-9 General B, the one with the chrome that shines
shoot all queer men
Elephant Man - Log On
(Log on is a type of dance using the right foot in a stepping motion as if to squash a cockroach - the lyrics boast about stamping on gay men and setting them on fire)
Log on and step pon chi chi man
Dance wi a dance and a bun out a freaky man.
Step pon him like a old cloth
A dance wi a dance and a crush out a bingi man
Do di walk, mek mi see the light and di torch dem fast
Log on and step on a queer man
Join our dance and let’s burn out the queer man
Step on him like an old cloth
Join our dance and let’s crush queer men
Do the walk, quickly let me see the lighter and torch (makeshift aerosol flame thrower weapon)
I like to think Will didn't know about some of his content. I don't know his personal views on gay people, but I'm sure he'd find these lyrics kind of disgusting.
What do you think? Please don't take this as an attack on Will. I was just surprised he worked with him, but like I said, he may not know much about him and his record label could've just linked him up with him cause he's considered 'cool' in some circles.
The issue is well known here in the UK after he had his MOBO nomination removed for this reason.

People should use http://rapidshare.de if they don't want the links to break!

It was released in the UK in 1995 and only made #40 in the charts! I'd love to hear it again.
-
This is why it doesn't matter if he gets negative reviews. The public have spoken! I'm really shocked at how well it's done actually, especially as I consider Switch one of the poorer tracks on the album.
Lost And Found MUST be the third single!

Yeah and Will was more well known after the Men In Black single so I guess people wanted to check out his past music.
