Thanx bboy i knew i could count on my NWO brutha.

IF HE CAN DO IT WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT KIM (HIS WIFE, CUZ HE WENT BACK 2 HER CRAZY ASS!!!) AND HIS OWN MOTHER (CUZ THAT SH*T'S OLD!!!!), THEN WE'LL SEE WHAT'S UP.....

Hmm, that first single is just OK. There seems to be a void right now. But is the older more mature Em interesting? It'll be interesting to see who is checking for him.

That single he has out now is annoying as FUCK! I can't stand the way he rhymes. It's like he takes every word that rhymes and fits it into 4 bars, and won't be talking about shit.

i hope he flops, can't stand his novelty crap.

But he won't because there are still plenty of bleach blonde white spotty teenagers who think he is hip hop.

The funniest think about Eminem is that he use to slag of "Will Smith's Raps" but i'll bet you in 10 years from now they will be playing ....

They will be playing the Will song because of the MUSIC which is Kool and the Gang and has NOTHING 2 do with Will.

Why do people think Jazzy Jeff and Will Smith are not into there music? ..if you take this track Summertime and play it next to Summer Madness buy Kool and the Gang you can see how smart Jeff was with the hook ..he took this break and Will added the right balance of lyrics over the top ...it's timeless..its a classic...you have to also take into account the type of music they are using and when they did this..very smart.

People think it's ok to hate Will Smith & Jeff ...because of Eminem ..

Please just read the lyrics...and then post a rap that's better with no swear words in it..

Intro/chorus: *sung*

Summer, summer, summertime
Time to sit back and unwind

Verse one: fresh prince

Here it is the groove slightly transformed
Just a bit of a break from the norm
Just a little somethin� to break the monotony
Of all that hardcore dance that has gotten to be
A little bit out of control it�s cool to dance
But what about the groove that soothes that moves romance
Give me a soft subtle mix
And if ain�t broke then don�t try to fix it
And think of the summers of the past
Adjust the base and let the alpine blast
Pop in my cd and let me run a rhyme
And put your car on cruise and lay back cause this is summertime

Chorus

Verse two: fresh prince

School is out and it�s a sort of a buzz
A back then I didn�t really know what it was
But now I see what have of this
The way that people respond to summer madness
The weather is hot and girls are dressing less
And checking out the fellas to tell �em who�s best
Riding around in your jeep or your benzos
Or in your nissan stting on lorenzos
Back in philly we be ou in the park
A place called the plateau is where everybody goes
Guys out hunting and girls doing likewise
Honking at the honey in front of you with the light eyes
She turn around to see what you beeping at
It�s like the summers a natural afradesiac
And with a pen and pad I compose this rhyme
To hit you and get you equipped for the summer time

Chorus

Verse three: fresh prince

It�s late in the day and I ain�t been on the court yet
Hustle to the mall to get me a short set
Yeah I got on sneaks but I need a new pair
Cause basketball courts in the summer got girls there
The temperature�s about 88
Hop in the water plug just for old times sake
Break to ya crib change your clothes once more
Cause you�re invited to a barbeque that�s starting at 4
Sitting with your friends cause y�all remincise
About the days growing up and the first person you kiss
And as I think back makes me wonder how
The smell from a grill could spark up nostalgia
All the kids playing out front
Little boys messin round with the girls playing double-dutch
While the dj�s spinning a tune as the old folks dance at your family
Reunion
Then six o�clock rolls around
You just finished wiping your car down
It�s time to cruise so you head to the summertime hangout
It looks like a car show
Everybody come lookin real fine
Fresh from the barber shop or fly from the beauty salon
Every moment frontin and maxin
Chillin in the car they spent all day waxin
Leanin to the side but you can�t spead through
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
There�s an air of love and of happiness
And this is the fresh prince�s new defintion of summer madness

LondonStyle said:

The music makes the track. Will's rap is as weak as H2o

Graycap23 said:

Duh...we no it's summer madness ...don't you get it ...will's taking about the song as well as the fact that it's summertime...here...

School is out and it's a sort of a buzz
A back then I didn't really know what it was
But now I see what have of this
The way that people respond to summer madness

He's talking about two things here ...Summer and the Song Summer Madness he didn't get it when he was at school a young man but as he grew older he understood not just the birds and the bees but also the Song ...Summer Madness...

"REAL" Rap lyrics REAL Hip-Hop ia all about metaphors.....

LondonStyle said:

I get it....that's why I listen 2 the Kool and the Gang version.

Graycap23 said:

No you don't...you might as well wipe of rap/hip-hop over the last 30 years because all breaks and samples come from somewhere ..its what you do with it that's smart and creative ..That's the art form..

Will and Jeff understand this - hence summertime is a classic that supports the K&G version ..it adds to it and does not take anything away

LondonStyle said:

lol.....

Someonme like Eminem cannot last forever because he built his popularity on the prematurity of his white teenie fans that thought Eminem would be cool and rebbelious. But those teens must be in their early til late twenties now, and modern age teenagers probably never have heard of Eminem (after all his last single is from 2003, right?)

I liked his singles though. People say he's white and he can't rap, but he's much better than Piss Diddy and 50 Cent.

graecophilos said:

In hindsight, though, that's not really saying much.

Never Ever saw the appeal of Eminem sorry to say. To me he always came off as a parody of a parody. The whole slim shady thing, the whole killing his wife or mother or whoever he kills in his songs, to me was nothing more than selling a "theme" to the public, kind of like how they sold 50Cent, "he got shot 9times" that was the big push for him, no skills, just "he got shot 9 times, now buy the record"

LondonStyle said:

Jeff is still heavily involved in music. He's released several albums over the years. He still tours too.

# The Magnificent (2002)
# Soulheaven Presents Jazzy Jeff in the House (2004)
# The Soul Mixtape Groovin' Records USA (2005)
# Hip-Hop Forever II Rapster Records (2004)
# Hip-Hop Forever III BBE Records (2006)
# The Return of The Magnificent EP (2007)
# The Return of the Magnificent (2007)#55 US (Gold)
# The Return of Hip Hop EP (2007)

Jazzy Jeff gets my respect 110%.

Timmy84 said:

oh timmy, you got a new avatar. Erm... who's this, Diana, Gladys, Tamy???

graecophilos said:

Mary Wells.

Timmy84 said:

Very true. My 7 year old nephew can rhyme better than pee diddy.

lastdecember said:

Could not agree more. The biggest bullshit ever sold in rap outside of
vanilla ice.

lastdecember said:

Someone a TV show or at the very least..a radio show.
I never thought of it this way, but now that I am,
I am thinking...you are RIGHT. And the new song is too
slow for me. For whatever that is worth.

graecophilos said:

and gave up oxycontin and now work 4 Microsoft.....

I'm looking forward to his new album. I think this will be a good year for me. New Eminem, new Marilyn Manson and if we're lucky (dare I say?) new MJ.

DarlingDiana said:

I enjoyed his first 3 albums a lot and his singles
were always great. Haven't heard the new one yet.

And I really don't care about the Will Smith vs Eminem thing...
I like both.

And...how come so many people hate Diddy (without a doubt a great producer)
while Kanye West gets so much love ???
The first time I heard Kanye,and I didn't know who he was,
I thought it was Diddy Really,they don't sound that
different 2 me,not like when I hear Jay-Z or so...
