Will Smith returns with first album in 20 years
- Thread starter Ziggiy
- Start date
Based On A True Story
Actually looking forward to this.
I didn't appreciate Will slapping Chris Rock at all.
But really, who doesn't love Will Smith?
I remember seeing the preview of Fresh Prince before it dropped and I was so excited.
He was so cool, and funny and incorporated hip hop in day time t.v.
And story of going from Philly to Bel Air - it gave me hope for big wild dreams. Very inspiring, and hilarious. It was such a great show!

I've been a Will fan since I was a kid (along with LL) and still riding with them because why not. And for some reason I am a sucker for "inspirational" songs so I don't hate this like others. I hate that "identify as a cancer" bar though!
To be honest, I feel kind of bad for Will as I read his autobio and despite having everything, he still seems like a person with a big hole in him. It's too bad. And to be honest, even without the cheating or whatever Jada seems like a difficult person to be married to. The type of person that would make it tough to enjoy a bowl of cereal around because she would always be looking for some deeper meaning in everything.
Gonna have to watch that Drink Champs.

I still think he deserved to be slapped just for making a GI Jane joke in the year 2023. That movie was around 30 years old at that point.
Ok I finally listened to this all the way through a few times and I have my thoughts...
1. I appreciate will making this album, its obviously not for money in any type of way, and I respect it
2. I enjoyed a few of the songs, liked the tyanna taylor one, the big sean one, I felt a few of the inspirational songs were done well
3. The production is lacking, and this album could be improved with more cohesive less popish sounding production.
4. I feel like Will could have SOOO much to say if he truly wanted to open up, if he actually went into some detail on these tracks about the last 20 years I think you could have a really interesting project, as is its ok at best I guess but leaves a lot to be desiered

I think I figured out why he dropped this. I just ran thru this joint again this morning and was asking myself “Why???”, lol. I think he did it strictly because it gave him plausible reason to do a media blitz and be all over the place, which a lot of people were saying was cool to see again, Will doing interviews and being on every big platform, etc…
It’s another attempt at fixing his brand and image and making you remember why you liked him so much. The “album” is just the icing…actually it’s just the candles…the cake is being everywhere and being likable and charismatic and all that as an attempt to clean more dirt off of himself. The album was a monetary loss, I’m sure…but he probably figured it was worth it because of the “promo run”, he has money to throw away like that

I feel like Bad Boys 4 performing very well pretty much repaired his name as far as making movies, but I could be wrong.
“If that’s the case you shoulda kept that shhit in yo headphones so only you can hear it” - 50 Cent
It did. Will’s reputation is fine.
The album was just wack. It happens. Hopefully he does better next time, especially on the production tip.
