Scott Stapp and....Jamie Foxx?

[Shadow]

Scott Stapp on a Jamie Foxx CD? Just might be.

JAMIE FOXX FIXIN' TO RELEASE SECOND SET: And he says it's gonna be classic.

(Jul. 7, 2004) *It's no secret that actor/comedian Jamie Foxx can "sang." In fact, he was nominated at the BET Awards for Best Collaboration along with Kanye West and Twista for "Slow Jamz."

"We're gonna get back in the lab and come out with something incredible, something that is so great," Foxx told MTV.

The actor, who released his only album, "Peep This" a decade ago, is finalizing the follow-up with Kanye, among many others. While the track list has yet to be decided for the fall release, Foxx has logged studio time with everyone from Snoop Dogg and Tank to Scott Stapp and Slash.

"You never know what might be on it. We might do 46 tracks, 'cause I got friends," Foxx said. "It's gonna be called Ambidextrous, which means I'm goin' in different ways. It's gonna be a grown-up record."

Thats Wayyyyyyy Cool :D

[Dogstar]

Ugh!

[Creed_Defaultgirl]

To me it sounds like the only thing I would even care about listening to is whatever Scott does..... snoop dog, YUCK! Can't that boy choose an album to sing on that's not going to have any hiphop crap on it, but just good ole rock n roll???

It's called being an artist and open yourself up to different forms of music. Growing not just getting stuck doing the same thing.

Go Stapp.......

I'm sure that Stapp could choose to sing on anything he wishes :D . I agree with musiclover291...Go Stapp.

[Jooji_2]

This isn't really that much different than Mark Tremonti playing guitar on an album by "Larry the Cable Guy" is it? There are lots of instances of people who write and perform in different genres of music working together. You never know when working with someone new just might turn you on to something new for you within your own brand of music.

Maybe Jamie "sangs" some rock and roll. :D

[Ann Allusion]

You never know when working with someone new just might turn you on to something new for you within your own brand of music.

Exactly!!...and of course...no one is saying anything about Slash...now that dude is a major shredder..and yet...he's working with Foxx too.. :bigeyes: :laugh:

:jam: Stapp

[hayley]

Oh for fuck sake, honestly what the heck is wrong with Stapp. :mad: Out of anyone he could choose to make a record with, it's with stupid comedians and stupid rap stars. This makes me angry, Stapp has changed alot, by just choosing to work with rap stars you can tell that his music is going to be different. I don't know what to expect anymore, I love Stapp with all of my heart, but I really don't know what to think of his upcoming music anymore. :dunno:

First of all Jamie Foxx is not a stupid rap star or stupid comedian. He is great talent who sings R&B and if you weren't so narrow minded you would know that Fox has a gospel background he started singing in the church so I can see the connection. Unlike you Stapp is trying different forms of music and meeting new people. More power to him. Who knows he maybe working with Latin artists as well which is great because music is for everyone white, black, latin etc.

[Higher_Desire]

I think it'd be cool if Scott told some jokes on it. Maybe he could get a comedy career going too. And don't diss Snoop. I like him.


H-D :pimp:

[Shadow]

I think it's cool. I wish there was more information about it. I'd like to know if Scott did some back-up vocals or what.

Hayley, I'm very surprised you feel that way. That's not like you. You usually support Scott. Let's just give it a chance and see what comes out. Although, I am concerned about him working with 7 Aurelius. According to his resume - 7 hasn't worked with rock singers. But, I have to put my faith in Scott that he'll come out with music that I love. Just like he did with Creed.

[aussiecreeder]

so can jamie fox really sing? what was his first album like? stapp and slash on there has my interest for sure but i'm not sure what to make of it. well its got stapp and slash it can't be that bad right?

[Bridge of Clay]

That might come out really interesting. If throws some jokes at it people will know a side of him that they're not used to. As long it's not low jokes, it will be good for him.

But Hayley has a point. It seems Stapp is haging out with the wrong crowd latelly! Like I said, it seems. I'm not trying to judge anyone here.

[hayley]

First of all Jamie Foxx is not a stupid rap star or stupid comedian.
We all have different opinions, thanks very much.

He is great talent who sings R&B and if you weren't so narrow minded
I'm not narrow minded. Sorry for speaking my opinion, geesh.

Hayley, I'm very surprised you feel that way. That's not like you. You usually support Scott.
I know. I still do support him, but I am just unhappy right now about the choises that he has made so far. I am still going to support him, and I will still buy his album, right now I am just unsure about what it will sound like, seeing as who he is working with. I'm just unsure, that's all I can say.

But, I have to put my faith in Scott that he'll come out with music that I love. Just like he did with Creed.
I'm hoping he will. I will give this a chance, I do still believe in Scott, and I will support him with whatever he does, but if I don't like the music he comes out with, then I can't help the way I feel. Rock music is my soul, it is who I am, all I listen too. I will give him a chance, though.

[Shadow]

Rock music is my soul, it is who I am, all I listen too.
Me too Hayley. That's why I am concerned about this 7 Aurelius connection. But remember Scott did say on Craig Kilborn that he is not a rapper.

If throws some jokes at it people will know a side of him that they're not used to. As long it's not low jokes, it will be good for him.
Marcos, I get the impression that this is a musical CD, not a comedy CD. I tried to find some more information out about it, but I haven't had any luck yet.

[musiclover291]

What is the wrong crowd rappers vs. rockers. What's the difference?

Both have negative and postive influences.

I respect that rock music is your soul maybe Scott will open the doors for some of his rock fans to learn to love R&B and rap.

[hayley]

Me too Hayley. That's why I am concerned about this 7 Aurelius connection. But remember Scott did say on Craig Kilborn that he is not a rapper.
Yes, you have a point there. I really hope he doesn't turn to that side though. I do respect the fact that everyone loves different kinds of music, but I am just passionate about the music that I listen to and don't love any other kind.

Hmm. Interesting. I don't really know what to say, because I dislike R&B and rap, and all the music in between. It just doesn't appeal to me. It would be really, really strange to see Stapp out there in the rap industry, and I don't know if I could turn to that side of music just because Stapp is a lyrical genious, as I hate rap music. And also I think Stapps lyrics will change if he is going to be working with a rap producer, and rap artists. :(

I understand I love all music but rock is also my soul. But I am trying to remain open until I hear Stapp's project before passing any judgement. I guess I have a little more faith in this project because I have heard some rock, r&b and rap collaborations that have been great.

[hayley]

And I guess the reason I think so differently is because I don't like any rap and R&B music. So for Stapp to become involved in both of these, it feels weird and I didn't see it coming, which is why I am not open to it at all. But, like I keep on saying, I do believe in Stapp and hope that he will keep to rock.

[Dogstar]

I'm with Hayley on this one. I'm not really happy with the direction he's going in. If he goes all Miami Sound Machine on us, I won't be buying that album. And I love the man's voice, don't get me wrong. But I'm not really and R&B girl or a Snoop Dogg kind of fan.

[hayley]

Yeah, and it's hard because when rock music is such a big part of your life, you can't just turn head to a whole different kind of music, because of one man. Stapp is amazing, a very talented song writer, but the music plays a big part in the making of a band, obviously. It's hard because I love Stapp, but I hate rap music.

[Ann Allusion]

After reading this thread thru...that's i guess where i differ from a lot of you...i love music...all music...even have gotten into a bit of rap...not a lot, 'cause it has to grow on ya...but rap is very poetic if you listen to it close enough...

everyone has their prefered tastes in music...but as i see it's like jumping into cold water...until you try it, you don't know how refreshing it can be...

And that is what i think about all the stuff we keep hearing stapp is doing...it will be refreshing...a breath of fresh air...everyone will see just how much talent this man does have...that he can wear many caps and they will all look good on him...;)

~peace

[hayley]

but rap is very poetic if you listen to it close enough...
That's what I can't see. I can't see any art, and content to rap. My brother forced me to listen to an Eminem song one day, I did, and I just can't see any potential to it. There is just nothing there, where as with rock, it just fills my soul with an emotion that I can't explain.

that he can wear many caps and they will all look good on him...;)
Seriously, can you see Stapp rapping? Or mixing rap with rock? :eek:

[Dogstar]

Not everyone shares the same tastes in music. I for one am not a big rap fan, at least not what I have heard. The closest I come to it is Rage Against the Machine, and it's the music (mainly Tom Morello's guitar playing) and the beat that got me into them. And R&B (at least the current scene) just doesn't move me the way rock or other genres of music do. I love jazz, classical, blues and even some pop, but today's R&B scene does nothing for me.

[aussiecreeder]

some older rap is okay like the beastie boys (who are still cool) and old r and b like marvin gaye and stevie wonder. current day stuff at least in the mainstream is terrible though, although eminiem is probably a diamond amongst the rough.

Agreed. I forgot about the Beastie Boys. I like them, their older stuff, anyway.

[SandMan]

Love that guy. And I like a mix of metal and rap, gets my heart pumping.

listen to "Fuel" by Metallica and then "No Scrubs" by TLC or Nelly "Air Force One", and a little country in the middle "A COUNTRY BOY CAN SURVIVE" by Hank Williams Jr.

You know, keeps me well balanced and opens the mind.

[Shadow]

Let me clear something up here. Scott has said himself he will not be rapping. He said he is a rock singer. So let's not jump to conclusions just because he is not working with your typical "rock people".

And as far as rap goes. I am soooo not a fan. But, I do like Linkin Park alot and they do their own type of "rapping" which is really cool.

[SandMan]

I like Linkin Park too, it's a great combination of sounds.

[johellion]

I am sure Stapp isn't going to be rapping.. These rap/ R &B singers, maybe trying something new themselves. Everyone may be totally surprized...I may very well be some good stuff!!!

He also said Creed wouldn't break up during the same interview... :D

(sorry, couldn't resist!)

[musiclover291]

I must add I do remeber back right after the Weather tour ended him and Kiki were intereviewed at a Golden Globe award party and he said that he wanted to take a year off travel spend time with his family and he was interested in acting and trying different kinds of music and he talked about hip hop and the interviewer thought he was kidding and so did I and he said that he was working on some things. So I guess he was not kidding.

[Jooji_2]

He also said Creed wouldn't break up during the same interview... :D

(sorry, couldn't resist!)

Ever thought that at the time there had been no decision about Creed's fate, so he didn't know what the deal was? That interview was done in February. :D

Good Point......Ya know....Loretta Lynn recorded an album produced by Jack White of the White Stripes......and her style of music didn't change....talk about a strange combination. Ever thought that maybe producers enjoy working with people who do other types of music....that it gives them a break from their usual?

Stapp's music isn't gonna be rap......I'm sure it will be different....but it won't be rap.

[ctfan]

I agree with you jooji_2, I'm sure that producers like to try different things just as much as the artists themselves do. As far as different artists working together....what could be more diverse than Kid Rock and Hank Williams Jr :D

Anyway...I think Stapp's cd is gonna be great, and something very different too.

[ctfan]

Oh, and did you know that Jack White is in Loretta's new vid? Yea, he plays the guitar. Loretta herself even said that she was surprised at how country it really sounded. So just because an artists in one genre moves into another, doesn't necessarily mean that it's a bad thing :) .

That maybe true, but if I don't particularly care for the genre, I don't know if I want to spend my money on it.

Marcos - I'm shaking my finger at you :nono: - shame on you :D .

Here I go again - in Scott's defense - I'm pretty sure the absolute final decision to end Creed was made AFTER that interview. That's not to say there wasn't "trouble in paradise" before then, because there was.

i think it was a bit of pr job but he wasen't necessarily lying. we do know the band tried one more time to get the album off the ground in feb but it was basically over by that point. he was showing the best possible picture but it was PR IMO.

stapp's stuff is really intriguing me, whereas i know basically what alter bridge is going to be like give or take. stapp really could go anywhere with his and it will either be great or it will be a major flop. how much of an influence has 7 Aurelius had and how much of the music has being written by the tea party if at all. what lyrical direction has he taken? is he going to have a bunch of girls in the back of a truck and have nelly in the video? these are the questions without answers. ;)

[Shadow]

is he going to have a bunch of girls in the back of a truck and have nelly in the video?

:lolsign: I certainly hope not!

I think there is a lot of unncessary worrying here. Let's just keep an open mind and give whatever Scott has in store for us a chance. The same way most of us are going to give AB's CD a chance.

[aussiecreeder]

Once again, music is a personal taste...so if you don't think you would want to spend your money on it, then that is your choice...

same as if AB continues on the way they appear to be doing..and their music/lyrics continue not to move me, i won't be spending my money on their album.

Right, he's trying something different...with different people. I realize this isn't a Jamie Foxx message board or Slash :) We all know what kind of music Slash is famous for, and Foxx has put out on cd already (I think it's been several years ago though)....so maybe ALL of them wanted to work and get different input.

Maybe Foxx wanted to see what Stapp and Slash had to offer...and vice versa :D. Well, anyway...I think it's great.

They knew it was over. Everybody here knew it since November. And if you look to Stapp's body language, you can tell he (white) lied. Look how he stares up and left. That's when you lie.

BUT, in Stapp's deffense, I can't nor will blame him. It was just a PR job. At the time of the interview, the break-up couldn't be revealed. So he was right to keep the official word: extended break.

I dunno why they took so much time to announce it, though.

Robyn, I was just teasin' you! :D

I am still confused about that because in the Mtv interview Mark said they didn't decide to break up until he starting working with Myles and like the vibe and it had been 4 months since the break up so if they revealed it June 4th it was in late February early March they actually broke up and then it seems that Stapp wanted a break to pursue his solo career and acting and Flip and Mark approached him about breaking up completely. So in Stapp's defense he may have been telling the truth. Although, I agree he was putting a PR spin on things which was smart I think his approach was better because it gives the members a chance to pursue their careers without in negative feedback from the press or fans. I know some people are not going to like what I'm saying and I love all the members of Creed but Mark and Flip approach by airing Stapp's dirty laundry on Mtv and Michael getting on the boards revealing things that we did not need to know has put a rift in fans because when I visit the boards alot of fans either blame Stapp or Mark for the break up and I think that this hurts all the members at the end. Also I notice later in some interviews that Mark and Flip tried to back down and say it was not Stapp fault for the break up but the damage has already has been done. It is really very interesting to see how it will all play out at the end.

[Shadow]

Robyn, I was just teasin' you! :D
I know! :kiss: I didn't take it any other way.

Everyone knew what was going on. But I just don't think it was 100% yet. Scott was very nervous on Craig Kilborn, his hands were shaking. He knew he was going to get asked about Creed.

[Sheila63]

Here I go again - in Scott's defense - I'm pretty sure the absolute final decision to end Creed was made AFTER that interview. That's not to say there wasn't "trouble in paradise" before then, because there was.

I'm with ya, Robyn. And even if he did know, and notice I said IF, can you imagine if he came out on national televsion and said they were broken up!! Besides all of that, there were probably legal reasons why he couldn't say anything. Just my :2cents:

As for Scott and Jamie Foxx, I believe it when Scott said he isn't a rapper. I think it's great that he working with different people and I'm anxious to hear his new songs on The Passion cd as well as his solo cd.

Marcos, you're such a kidder. ;)

[revisfoot]

Actually, I'm kind of anticipating Stapp's solo album because of the sound he's trying to project. I mean, he's trying to mix his influences -- Zepplin, The Doors, U2 -- with a new type of sound. Something that rocks your fists and thumps your speakers. It will be interesting. And, with The Tea Party playing the instruments, now THAT will be a thing to behold. I mean, Jeff Martin is a force to be reckoned with!!

Go Stapp!
Go Tea Party!

[Bridge of Clay]

Don't get Scott's collaboration with The Tea Party mixed up with his solo effort. If I remember correctly, The Tea Party worked with Scott only on his contribution (Relearn Love) to the Passion of the Christ CD due out in August. Scott's Zep/Doors mix is referring to his solo effort due out on a date still TBD.

i'm really confused here as to what songs the tea party are involved in and to what extent such as has scott wrote the music.

[Shadow]

Don't be confused :)

As of right now, The Tea Party worked with Scott on his Relearn Love song, which will be the first single off the Passion of the Christ CD. They were in the recording studio with Scott. So, I'm assuming that means they played on the song, as well as probably doing back-up vocals.

Any further collaboration was depending on The Tea Party's touring schedule.

[Creed_Defaultgirl]

At the beginning of the thread, I got the vibe that people thought I wasn't supporting Scott. I want you all to know, I support Scott, and I trust that he'll make the right decisions, but I don't like rap. I KNOW (K-N-O-W) that he will not rap, so please don't try to tell me that, BUT here's my problem..........I wan't to have everything Scott does, because I love his voice....but if it's going to have a bunch of rap/hiphop and junk like that on the rest of the album, I don't really want to spend the money on something that won't be very long in Scott's case, plus stuff other than Scott's stuff I probably won't care for. That's the reason I said I wished he would just get on an album with just good ole rock n roll, that way I'd be happy with all of it, rather than a few songs. Plus it doesn't help that I'm not a person of change. Call me dull, but if it's possible, I don't want to venture too far into the ocean, I'd rather sit on my island.
But Go for it Scott, just make it good!

[revisfoot]

Oh...

So, The Tea Party won't be on Stapp's solo record? Man...

BTW...have any of you listened to the Tea Party? These guys are awesome!! Check out "Walking Wounded" or "Heaven Coming Down" by these guys!

Also -- Creed_DefaultGirl,

I understand what you're saying! I'd prefer to stay on my little island as well. I'm not big on a whole lot of the commercial music out there, and so I only listen to the things I like...which DO vary in sound...but anyways, girl, I'm with you!!

ummm i'm not so sure as i got this from chart attack in canada (start of the article as the rest is irrevelant here).

After nearly 10 years together, Creed is no more. But Scott Stapp has vowed to go on, with The Tea Party standing behind him.

Stapp has gone back into the studio and is currently working on a solo album with hip-hop producer 7 Aurelius and his new backing band, The Tea Party. Yes, our Tea Party — Stapp and Jeff Martin are at last working as one. Before we see that gem, Stapp will provide a track on an album filled with songs inspired by The Passion Of The Christ, due out August 31.

this seems to point to them being the backing band for the entire album but perhaps that is not the case. i would like them to be the backing band for the entire album. he is going to need a backing band anyway and it may as well be a talented band such as them, plus martin's backing vocals will be very good.

When is that article from? According to an article in June, the information differed. Here is just a portion of the article.

The Tea Party are in it for the long haul. At least that's the take of drummer Jeff Burrows. When everyone else is mum about the LaSalle band's plans, you can usually rely on Burrows to tell it like it is.

"I want to scotch the rumours about us breaking up right here and now," Burrows said this week.

The band's demise is just one of several scenarios suggested by recent developments, including a highly publicized recording session with former Creed frontman Scott Stapp.

A single, Relearn Love, under Stapp's name, was scheduled to be released this week as part of a compilation album inspired by the film The Passion of the Christ. Burrows said a second recording with Stapp was also in the plans, to be recorded in Miami, but nothing firm had been decided beyond that.

FRIENDS

"We're friends with Scott Stapp," Burrows said. "This was a chance to make a record with someone of his stature."

An wire story about the breakup of Creed stated Stapp would make a solo album with The Tea Party. That led to speculation Stapp and The Tea Party would team up under a different name.

But Burrows denied the rumour, saying future work with Stapp will depend on his being available and The Tea Party's own promotional plans for their seventh studio album, The Seven Circles, due later this summer.

umm that is a little confusing, the chart attack article is from june the 4th. so what happened to it being released last month (his song)? if the tea party are not going to be his backing band for the rest of the album who is? a relatively unknown band?

[ctfan]

Also I notice later in some interviews that Mark and Flip tried to back down and say it was not Stapp fault for the break up but the damage has already has been done. It is really very interesting to see how it will all play out at the end.

I agree, and I can't speak for everyone, but I know for me...but that's one thing that turned me off about Alter Bridge.

whoever the backing band is, as long as they are good...i don't think it would matter if they were known or unknown...as long as they can fit with what stapp is trying to express with his music...it's going to be :smokin:

I knew that was an error - about Scotts song being released. I sent the editor of the paper an email inquiring about that information and I never got a response.

That information was from a Canadian newspaper.

Okay, thanks.

Wait, wait wait. This is kinda confusing. Stapp is going to be featured in the Passion of the Christ album, yes? Then he is doing an album with The Tea Party? Is that right? I need to read more on Stapp news, lol.

i think now that the tea party are involved in "to relearn love" but its not clear whether they were going to be with the remainder of his solo work.

Hayley, Scott's song Relearn Love was recorded with the Tea Party. As far as we know, that's the only collobration between them (Scott and TP). If you look in a previous post in this thread, I included part of an article regarding this information :)

If I remember correctly, Scott wrote between 4 and 6 songs for the POC. Relearn Love will probably only be on the POC and not on his solo CD. Some of his other songs might end up on the POC as well.

Can't wait to see Scott's site up... I hardly can't wait any longer... I'm getting so darn anxious to hear him sing again! It's taken so long!
