Will Smith: What are your thoughts?

[Eedee]

So... on a whim I listened to his 2005 album "Lost and Found" and holy shit, I was blown away. I was NOT expecting that.

I was expecting this average garbage with trash rhyming and shit. Him bragging about his money or whatever. (I've heard a few songs before like Miami and Just The Two Of Us) but I forgot when I started listening lol

Anyway, holy shit. Will Smith can fucking rap!! His flow is fucking dope, he has a great grasp on rhyme and structure, and his voice and delivery is near perfect. Seriously, the tone and diction he puts into his voice when he raps gave me a raging boner. Haha, it was such a great experience listening to that album.

He mentioned the Eminem diss, and he played it off nicely. I'd love to see Em and Will on a song, tbh.

So... what are your thoughts on Big Willie?

Well... he ain't gotta cuss in his raps to sell records, that's for sure.

[Eedee]

Truth is, when I listened to the album, that's the last thing going through my mind, him not cussing. The vibe and shit of the album totally caught me off-guard haha

[Eedee]

Shit, never saw that thread.

Everything while he was the Fresh Prince was great & kinda revolutionary considering how different & outta place his style was for that period of time & how hard most of the rappers were in it. I think he went to far with that R&B shit since he went on his own as Will Smith though... I mean he got those insane world wide hits alongside his movies but I wouldn't listen to him anymore.

He's an incredible actor though... some of his movies are fucking ridiculous!

Da gawd:

[Spyder]

It was confirmed Nas wrote for him...

So yes I love Nas

[Eedee]

Really? Aw man...

edit: I just Googled that shit. Nas didn't write any from Lost and Found.

[Francesco]

He worked with ghost writers for the most part actually.

[Eedee]

For Lost and Found?

[King Lance]

Royce worked for Dr Dre - 2001 and Dre didn't give him any credit tbh

[Francesco]

For Lost and Found?

Definitely if we talk about the whole album & not about any specific song... I am not sure what part or whatever but most likely a chunk of it was written by ghostwriters.

Royce worked for Dr Dre - 2001 and Dre didn't give him any credit tbh

True... that's how that whole drama started. Royce wrote The Message & other bits for 2001.

[Eedee]

Well that kinda ruins a little bit of it for me. But his voice is still fucking epic on it.

[King Lance]

Well that kinda ruins a little bit of it for me. But his voice is still fucking epic on it.

it doesn't change the final result tbh, I can still enjoy that album

[Francesco]

Well that kinda ruins a little bit of it for me. But his voice is still fucking epic on it.

His voice is dope...

Check He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper out... this is some evergreen classic & like I said earlier came in a period in which most of the other rappers & albums were hard as fuck...still left its mark regardless.
