I'm always happy when people find their way back to the art that ignites their passion. Good for Will. It's been years since I've been on here. Hope everyone is doing well.

This is kind of a weird thing to make you tap out on an artist you've like for a long time. Did you have the same problems with "The Rain"? Let an artist express themselves. You don't have to rock with every facet of their art.

the Song and Video are amazing. I can not wait for this album

Hilarious!

Just came back from the theater. Great action and really funny. It has some great surprises and some cool cameos.

Just come out of the film. Loved it. Better than the last film for sure and for the most part I enjoyed that. Martin and Will with the great chemistry as always.

First trailer!

Here's a clip of Will's speech: https://www.tiktok.com/@hollywoodreporter/video/7467034873228758314

Love this track. The beat goes harder than expected. Will's verses are on point.

Anyone else worried like me! Whenever this album comes out. Besides from ''You can Make It'' and Work of Art'' Will's going to have 2 verse's a song atleast, and no more than 2 minutes a song like i'm worried about that '' Light em Up'' Was hard but Will only had 1 verse i wish he would have went in more and 2 minutes long just left me wanting a longer song and the songs he's been releasing on his channel 1 verse with a feature from someone else 2 minutes and it's over. I'm so use to 3 verse Will songs and atleast over 3 minutes a song that it's going to be so disappointing if this album comes out and we only get 1 verse at the least 2 verses a song at the most and no longer than 2 minutes a song.

''Bulletproof'' is probably my favourite of the new songs so far.

Will Smith Says “Creative” Partnership With Alfonso Ribeiro “Totally Transformed My Life”: “Nobody Commits as Hard” https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/will-smith-partnership-alfonso-ribeiro-transformed-life-1236077761/

Possible new song for the album? Will Smith & India Martínez:

Such a dope song love the whole vibe of it. I don't have any clue on who Russ is but his verse was fire and having Jaden on the hook just gave it a modern sound to go along with the beat. I've been watching alot of reaction vids to the song and video people are loving Will's back rappng again. and giving him his flowers as an mc.

yup just came here to post this! "Rave in the Wasteland"! I personally love that title.

it seems that new album is called Rave in the Wasteland. He spokes about the name of the new album in "making of Work of art" video.

Will says in this video that the album is called Rave In The Wasteland

Gosh, I absolutely love this song. Love the video too! First few reaction videos I've seen on this are very positive too.

Ya I really like the concept and execution, and like the interviews, and especially showing off the live performance, but my favourite part of the song is the beat change for Will’s second verse, and with the interviews breaking up the song you kind of lose that a bit. I’m not complaining though, I wasn’t even expecting a video for this song so I’m stoked.

I agree. Would've preferred those bits at the end of the video, not in the middle of the song. Nonetheless, love it! Great music video. Suits the song perfectly. Keep them coming, Will!

The look and tone of the music video kind of fit what I envisioned for it. It suites the song well. I actually like interview and live performance aspects of the video. If you want the song, buy it. This is the music video. It's fitting to give it a little something extra. The comments (from what I see) are ALL positive, which is great. We all are BUYING the single, right?

Love all the shots of the paparazzi trying to get a piece of Will! Love the dancing in the video! Just a brilliant concept and execution

Man this video is insane! Really dope stuff! Let’s hope it blows up, but even if it doesn’t the real hip hop heads and Will fans are blessed with this!

The music video is bananas - I love it! Wills back!

Yes, I'm all for a classic remix. Don't involve the new talent. Legends only.

I would happily take a remix done by Jeff with Rakim and Will doing new verses.

when I scan this QR code from the La Velada performance it let’s you pre-add the album.

Yup I saw it!

Looks like the they have edited the article, but I promise you that it did say that originally

late to this, but I saw this movie twice in theatres. Absolutely loved it. They still got it. I really enjoyed 3, but this took it to another level. I was happy to see the poor CGI from the end of the 3rd one wasn't back for this one. The camera work was incredible in this one, and it was a ton of fun. I'm so happy it was so successful. Also shout out to the "Peter Piper" RUN DMC lyrics in the finale. That part was so epic.

Saw the film last night, I loved it. Funniest film I’ve seen in a while. Normally by the time a movie gets to number 4 they get pretty bad but they’ve still got it. Enjoyed all the cameos too. My friend who likes Will but isn’t as hardcore as us liked it too. The cinema was laughing the whole time.

So Will and Sean Paul are on the Bad Boys Ride Or Die Soundtrack together! The song is called “Light Em Up”. Soundtrack is dropping June 7th. https://www.instagram.com/p/C7icHEyNjuQ/?igsh=Y2txdXA5Mjc4emt0

I saw that article this morning. It feels good to see Will back on top. It's well deserved. It's kind of crazy that his last few films had an average response, but this one was the hit, even when there are some people who won't look past some of his problems in the past couple years. I plan on seeing Bad Boys Ride or Die again soon.

Hahaha… just listen to the first 45 seconds of the song. Will’s verse is first.

Sorry I’ve not been on here, I don’t have a computer anymore so I’ve come here on my phone since it’s all got pretty exciting I live Wills verse, it’s just a shame it’s not a little longer. It makes me really excited for the new album tho if it’s anything like this.

Aye, they did a lyric video too!

Yeah, I'm happy with it. It's hard to beat the first two, but this took the style of the last one and had a better story that better fit the franchise. Some of the camera work is pretty crazy. It's nice seeing recreations of some of the classic shots and a Michael Bay cameo. I'll likely be seeing this in theaters again.

Love this song! Can't wait for the album.

Hi Saniah - thanks for checking in. I hope you & your grandfather, Ready Rock C are doing well. He is a pivotal part of hip-hop history. Hopefully you can see each other soon.

This is so good.

I'm excited for the new album, but I think he really needs to go back to the more fun songs like MIB, Jiggy and Miami. The more serious/personal songs wouldn't go over so well IMO. And we've heard enough about his personal life anyway. In fact I'd say we've heard TOO MUCH about his personal life. And I really hope he leaves his family out of it.

Yeah the trailer looks dope! Can't wait. Hopefully we will get some new music from Will on the soundtrack.

With iTunes, Spotify and other music streaming services there's no reason why we can't have new music. Will doesn't even have to release a full album, he could release just one new song a year/every other year and make it available for streaming.

Finally someone with brain https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/10/jada-pinkett-smith-getting-bad-rap/675718/

Ready Rock C aka Clarence Holmes, is my grandfather.. As of right now he is an Uber driver and a truck driver.. he does rap and beatbox to me all the time outside of his rap career.. He also shared that him and Will did get into a fight, Will stole some of his chains and also my great-grandfather wasnt always a GREAT person as himself, but i will definitely get more info when i do get the chance to have a sit down with him. My mom also known as his daughter dont get along. So thats why i said "When i get a chance". i hope this sums up yall questions. Ready Rock C aka Clarence Holmes, is my grandfather..
