I saw Lethal Weapon III in a large movie theatre. In the film some young black
teenagers sit in a car with Latin Lingo kicking on the car stereo. That bass
sounded good in the Theatre. Too bad they no longer use the Sensurround system.
The film stinks. It just reinforces old stereotypes and don't even try to show
solutions to the drug problem.

Subject: Re: Redman, Paris, new stuff ?

I can't wait for Paris' new shit either, but I think I have a couple of reasons
why the album is being delayed:
1:  Paris' record label is Tommy Boy, an affiliate of Warner Bros.  WB still
have to weather the storm of Ice T's ROCK SONG "Cop Killer", and they may be
holding back potentially controversial stuff until after the furor has died
down... The flack over "Cop Killer" is the same reason that G Rap has been
pushed to the back burner for so long...
2:  I saw on MTV news a while back that Paris may have had to change his album
cover.  The one pictured on MTV showed a sniper (Paris?) waiting in the bushes
for Mr. Presiduck to come into view and get smoked like a blunt.
3:  With a song like "Bush Killer" on his album, they may wait until Hell
freezes over before THAT one is released to the mainstream... They may try to
convince him to take that li'l piece of potential dynamite off the album...

Hopefully, Paris' album WILL come out soon (as in before Christmas)...
PS... I heard a new one from him recently... It's called "Coffee, Doughnuts and
Death"... The track sounds like something Digital Underground would have used,
but the lyrics (as usual) are in there...

It seems like the bottom line here is that as a rapper, Hammer is wack, plain
and simple.  However, as a businessman, he is very intelligent.  He is very
good at marketing himself, and at getting people to invest money into him. 
As an entertainer, he is also good.  He can put on a show.  Look at his
videos, and talk to people who have been to a show he has performed at.  And
the one thing that even I respect him for is the role model he sets for kids.
Everyone is not and does not want to be a role model, but Hammer does and 
sets a good example byb his own life, and what he expects from the people who
tour with him(dancers, etc...).  As a rap artist, I CANT STAND HIM, but you
must respect the man for what he has done and what he is doing.  BUT once
again, as a rapper, HAMMER IS BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Personally, I like DJ Quik, but as for Freddy, I can't stand him.
The reason I hate him is personal.  I was in a rap contest and he was
one of the judges.  I was by far the croud's favorite to win and I came
in second to a 10 year old kid who looked like Vanilla Ice and sounded
like Bart Simpson.
That's my beef.  Most of my friends find him annoying too and prefer 
to watch Ed and Dre, or Rap City.
BTW, who is Hamster?

I have been waiting for Puba's album to be released since last May.  It
just keeps getting put off, just like X-Clan style earlier this year. 
It was supposed to be released on the first of September, and I actually
believed that it would be.  But of course, it's been postponed
indefinitely.  I guess you 'll just have to pull out Brand Nubian's
album, or check out some of his guest appearances to catch his unique
styles until it gets released.

To answer question no. 1:  Personally, Hamster always sucked, always WILL suck
and he will always CONTINUE to suck... I can't remember how many times I heard
a Hamster "song" on the radio that made my stomach turn... Hamster is about as
good a rapper as Bushwick Bill is an NBA Olympian...

2)  I saw in this "Hip Hop newspaper" called the Rap Sheet that Quik had called
Ice T a buster and a sucker in its premier issue... Ice T responded in the
Letters section of a later issue and said that he thought that Quik was his
friend and stuff like that.  Ice T said that the diss was because Quik was
jealous 'cuz Ice gets respect from the East Coast, and if Quik said that
to Ice's face, Ice would "...Beat his mutha-fuckin' ass!" (to quote Ice T).

 I know Neneh is working a new album but I don't know with whom. My guess 
 is she will collaborate with Bogaloo. She guested Massive Attack on one
 of the tracks on their record so maybe they will do some work. I also hope
 that she will work with Baby-Bam again cause "I've got you under my skin"
 is the best she have done. 
 Her sister called Titiyo(at least in Sweden, the record company in the US
 wanted to change her name because of the TIT in titiyo) is having a baby
 but working on a new album. This will be produced and co-written by her
 husband Magnus Frykberg. I don't have release date for that one either but
 the first album was delayed over 15 months in Sweden.

According to tower records in Boston, it was supposed to come out on Sept 1st
but I've yet to see it here.  It probably said tNov 1st but they couldn't

It was said that Hammer was in it for the money and entertaining

Hammer's style is pretty wack, but I gotta admit it, his first album
