I plan to buy a copy today. I listneed to most of the songs online and it's really good! Fuck the haters. I don't care that he's not considered gangsta or street. I think he's a much more positive role model for black people than Fiddy!

Yeah, the deaf kid next door

he has a new album out today? who knew?!?

You got that right Dancerella. I like Will as an actor, but I'm not too fussy on his music, but I completely agree with you that he's a great role model for anyone. 50 is nothing but a thug with a shitload of money. Scary indeed!!

I won't be buying it, though i like Mr Smith as a person. Nice guy.

y'all know the radio is going to play his songs out anyway untill ur sick to the ears..

He's the King of Hip-Pop

He's been doing a lot of promotion for the CD. Was flipping channels and saw him on the Tonight Show last night.

I listened to it online and I bet they'll release the song with MJB next even tho her screaming gets on my nerves. I hate the flat monotone way he's rhyming but I did think I Wish I Made That/Swagga was quite cute.

Corny or not, I'd rather hear Will speak about his kids and the Nelson Mandela mission than 50 mumble about why he wants to destroy JaRule or how he doesn't have time to take care of his son.

Yes, it makes a great frisbee in this warm weather.

I'm so happy someone agress with me. Even if you don't like his music you have to give him credit for keeping it real in his own clean cut way an not giving in to the pressures of becoming a thug. Though I know no one would belive it anyway. Yes, he's a bit corny but so what some of his songs are good.

I bet thesexofit did!

No. That belongs to 50 Cent!

theVelvetRoper said:

I was thinking the same thing too! I wonder if he did?

dancerella said:

Oh, your talking about that song Switch. Ok it sounded decent. I don't know if I would ever buy one of his CD's but I think there's chance this one 1 might get him back in the scheme of things.

Tupac is the king of rap... and 50 is the prince.... will smith could be hip-hop

If i had extra money to spend I might buy the album but its not on my top list priority

Ahh...this bring backs good memorys...boxer dancing at the top of stairs to Big Willie Style

U forgetting MC Hammer. He was the MC of rap. (Errrrr great reply huh?)

Big Willie Style...that sounds like some kind of advertising campaign for a fast food restaurant: "Would you like to Big Willie Size your order, sir?"

Hotlegs said:

Yeah, that song switch is pretty hot! To be honest, I never thought i'd want to buy a will smith cd but i'm pretty open minded when it comes to music and I try not to let other people's negative comments on an artist or genre of music influence me. I like to form my own opinions.

.....and Bobby is the Kang of R&B!

yes will is a great role model and an overall nice and funny guy. but he needs to desperately leave that music alone...

Bobby was for a lil' while. Whilst I know "dont be cruel" can never be regarded as an "off the wall" for the 80's (snobs ), that album is bloody good.

"dont be cruel
"my perogatvie
"roni"
"rock witchya"
"I really love u girl"
"every little step"

Good uptempo's and soulful slow jams. Thanx alot to Babyface and LA reid and course.

dancerella said:

You're all terrible...

I don't get why Will Smith has become the patron saint for positive role models in Rap. De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest were positive too, they also happened to have talent...

One word: Willenium.

Tom said:

AGREED. "Summertime" is the only song Will had that was really worth listening to.

I loved Big Willie Style
I loved Willennium

But.....

He lost me with Born To Reign & now he's losing me with lost & found!

I see it debuted at #12 on Billboard.

That's not bad.
