"Finding Forever really means to find a place in music where you can exist forever. Music can be forever if you make it from the heart, if you make it from the soul and it’s good.

Excuse my ignorance, but give me an example of his wack beats and lyrics? my only fault with Kanye is that he's afraid that WE BLACK people won't accept him, so he tries too hard. But there you go furthering the black hatred thing. Bravo

I was up on Deemi 2 years ago when she dropped that Hood Princess track and then fell off the face of the earth.... I MIGHT cop her joint; see what she about.

That Talib Kweli looks appetizing; might do that since I've never copped one.

Actually, I MIGHT have 2 check out that Swizz Beats, too. Speaking of that, I could've sworn Eve's album was supposed to drop this summer. And, Jill Scott. Wasn't that the whole purpose of her "Collaborations" album, to wet everyone's thirst for the summer?

Cam was supposed to drop this summer, Nas (but we already know he's "never on schedule, but always on time"), AND 50... Mya's album is an option; hopefully, she'll come back HARD! Amerie was supposed to drop this summer, too... THIS HAS BEEN A LAZY SUMMER SO FAR MAN... Ain't nobody even really talkin' bout that T.I. vs. T.I.P. joint; how is it?
