3. Maybe this is unrelated, but I wonder if we could get an update on how Daniel Baldwin is doing after his horrible car crash last week? He was part of an "unlucky threesome" in Hollywood who were simultaneously injured in separate events last week, the others being Haley Joel Osment and Zeke Farrow. Well, bad things always happen in threes! Also, is Haley Joel dating Ashley Tisdale? http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/7/prweb414890.htm

6. ...lol...

LMEO

A rapper I just did a track for... heard the entire album. And he said, well, that Lapdance track was more creative.

I guess everyone only has one big hit, huh? And this guy wasted his on Snoop-a-Loop (bring your green hat!) & The Clipse aka...wait, who are they again?

7. hey now.... honestly i don't care how the album was, i dont even need to hear it to have this opinion, he looks too damn good for any negative comment to be said about him. besides nobody is perfect all of the time, but some how celebs are expected to be, i think its just because alot of lazy people that aren't doing too much with their own lives are too busy living vicariously through them to see that ...what do u know ur not so perfect either. thats right i said it...and im sure alot of people feel the same ....now i really do have better things to do with my time than to get caught up in all this DRAMA....words of wisdom from chey

8. No disrespect but i think he needs to stick to fucking making beats. That song with K.West is seriously ass.

9. That song with Kanye is Fiyaaaah. Reminds me of micheal J. ( Pre Perv.) What I usually find is people with no life and/or talent sit around a glowing screen and attempt to make other's lives miserable. If you don't like it don't listen or buy. In closing i'll leave you with some of jay's words. "What YOU EAT don't make ME SHIT!"

10. While kanye and pharrell are OK producers, they BOTH SUCK as artists. Not only that, but both are ate up with their own hype which is so ugly, annoying, and just a plain turn-off. Oh, and the ears tucked into the baseball hat? Please.

11. Please stop hating.... Pharrell is sexy, great producer, and okay as an artist. But the Pharrell and Kanye song (Number 1) is hot otherwise y'all wouldn't be wasting your time talking/writing about it!

13. Pharrell said himself that it was strictly for his fans, so what is the problem, if ur a true fan than u can see where he was going. He's doin his thang as usual.

14. while I can't say much for kanye, pharrell and chad are two of the best producers in the hip-hop industry (well they did win the award). Incredibly talented.
