  1. Fort Minor was basicly Mike going back to his roots cause before Linkin Park was evan thought of Mike would just make Hip hop music and produce beats with his friends but when Linkin Park took of Mike didn't really have any time to go back to his hip hop roots.

    The story behind Fort Minor is that when Mike started making beats for it he never intended to release any of it, it just starting out as an hobby and something that he would do for fun but when people heard the stuff he was producing he was getting really positive reactions and being told that he should make an album. When the Fort Minor record was being made Mike only wanted to work with his personal friends because he didn't want any big hip hop names to collaborate with so that the album would sell.

    So Mike was basicly doing hip hop music before Linkin Park evan took off

  2. In a fan web chat on the Linkin Park fan club website Mike Shinoda listed DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince as one of his favorite and influential hip hop artists while growing up.

    I can't post a link to the chat as it was on the Linkin Park Fan club site and you gotta pay to get in there but i can post the quote from the chat

    Question - Hey Mike how's it going? I was just wondering you influenced you while growing up

    Mike - Hi i'm doing great thanks. The artists that have influenced me are Run DMC, 2Pac, DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, you know all the greats.

    Mike have also said on the fan club forums that Lost and found was one of his favorite albums of 2005

  3. Next show Will does he needs to perform I'm Looking.. no need to do switch again Will :kekeke:

    I agree, infact Will needs to do more of the fan favorites like I'm looking for the one (to be with me), Just kickin it, Shadow dreams etc. Will needs to trust that he've got real fans in the audience and not just the people who only know Gettin jiggy wit it

  4. I'd hate for his next album to be his last cause that way it looks as though he's just giving into the haters who say that he should just stick to acting.

    But if Will did make the next album his last it won't be the end of the world i just hope that when he retires from doing music people will remember him as 'the legendary emcee who paved the way' as oposed to 'that actor that did gettin jiggy wit it'

  5. I'm gonna be getting a set of turntables for my B-day and i was just wondering if any one of you on here could tell me how it works? People have been telling me that with a set of turntables all you have do is move the vinal disks back and fourth with your hand and mess around with the mixer in the middle but i have a feeling that there's alot more to it than that
