woo :wickedwisdom:

Maybe I'm pissed because I know how close we've been/how close we are to a JJFP album... and if hes spending the next 5 years doing movies this is basically the last chance...

Yeah and all of his kids are school age..even if there homeschooled they would be with there teacher for a few hours..time to write some lyrics.. I mean seriously there is way too many excuses in this thread..y'all are acting like its the hardest thing to record some music while you are taking a 5 month break from movies..and it's not!

yeah thought I'd make the forum private for a minute..get a few more registrations

he's got a studio in his house.. I'm sure laying down a few tracks wouldn't take him away from his family

It todays current climate gold is good..all of musiqs albums have gone gold/sold about the same amount

Hey Variety and Hollywood Reporter are the serious reviews by real critics.. I wouldn't take much notice of the others..

I think it went gold..

All the reviews are saying the same thing.. The reshoots obviously didn't work. I wonder what the tomatometer is gonna be. I'm expecting less than 50%

Chief never makes me laugh.

He can do what he wants, doesn't mean I have to be happy about it. :wiggle:

It shouldn't be movies OR music! He is quite capable of doing both. Willennium great album. If I was having this argument with Will I'd say one thing.. 1993.. he did the best season of fresh prince of bel air, one of his best movies & performances "6 degrees of seperation" and one of his best albums "Code Red." You can't tell me it can't be done, when it's already been done before! :susel[1]:

Awesome video Kev. I think it was really important that you showed Will he has some real music fans out there who would love some new stuff from him.

It's all about quality, not quantity.

There is no way I'd say Will is a better actor than a rapper. No one else makes music like Will and Jeff. They are truly original. As far as Will's acting all Will has proven is that he can become someone else (6 degrees, Ali, Pursuit). That doesn't make you a great actor. A great actor can be someone in one moment and completely turn it off in the next. Through years of studying the craft. What acting training has Will done? Has he ever done a show on broadway?theatre? Not one of his movies have been nominated for best picture. Great actors make great movies. Where is Will's classic? All Will has proven is is a box office star, and his movies make a lot of money. To take 5 months off from movies, and completely abandon music, When Jeff has stated all he needed was 2 weeks with Will to record some music. It's pretty damn disappointing.

That is the biggest load of bull**** I've ever heard from Will's mouth.. :ohdear:

24 June 2008 Will Smith has said he'll be putting his music career on the back burner for a few years while he focuses on acting. Smith's claim to fame is his starring role in early 90s sitcom 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air', and his subsequent rap music hits like 'Boom, Shake the Room' with DJ Jazzy Jeff and himself under the 'Fresh Prince' moniker. "I'm not really doing much with music right now," Smith told our LA correspondent. "I feel like the next four to five years as an actor are going to be just fantastic, creative and innovative years for me. I just don't want to break my focus. I think I'm a much better actor than I am a musician so I feel like in order to achieve that level I have to stay focused." Meanwhile Will has said he'd like to star in a Bollywood film! He's apparently been making a few deals in India. "We've got some Bolly-Will movies going on!" he said. Will's latest film, 'Hancock', sees him playing a seriously flawed super hero with a liking for alcohol. "I wanted to push the envelope and do things that break images that people have of me. I'm just trying to shake it up," Will told us. 'Hancock', which also stars Charlize Theron, hits cinemas on July 3. source:take 40

Awesome! did he say when it would happen?

Da Brakes continues his progression as a rap artist with his second full length, “Clean but Still Street.” The production level has risen and is more consistent as Brakes raps over a mix of R&B and funk grooves. The album is a throwback to the mid 90s where artists like Heavy D and Coolio were able to mix hip-hop credibility with a more pop accessible sound. Brakes displays plenty of rap skill and some quick rhyming but packages it with catchy hooks, dope beats and a lot of personality. Clean but Still Street starts out strong with “Hip Hop Loving.” It’s a fun jam and Da Ace once again compliments Brakes lyrical styling’s with a devastating multi syllable verse. “Sound Check” is a creative highlight. This hilarious track is well thought out and extremely well produced. It is similar to DJ format/Abdominal’s recent releases in that it is very funny yet still very catchy and worthy of repeat listens. The album has a lot of variety and touches on many different subjects. Two highlights are “Daddy’s own self,” an emotional ode to Brakes father and “Never Leave Me,” which recounts a broken heart and hurt feelings. “Bringing it Back” is a classic rap jam. Kel Spencer jumps on board for a verse and elevates the track to another level with a simple yet highly effective rhyme display, “I’m a fill a void, fill a gap, yeah, it’s a rap, bring it back.” There is no filler here, “Rhymes & Music” is another funk-laden track and Brakes effortlessly flows across the beat, “I got more soul than whole row of soul divas.” Kon-tempts still street hip-hop loving remix closes out the album. This is probably the hardest hitting track on the disc and you will definitely be bumpin this in the car. Clean but Still Street is a refreshing change from the gangsta tales, wild profanity and the monotonous tone of today’s popular rap. The album shows a diversity and maturity that belies Brakes years in the game. It’s straight up hip-hop packaged in an accessible sound. Da Brakes is clean, still street, and definitely moving forward. ~Hero1

we should set up a test for the podcast!

I guess theres a difference between rapping along to a track and knowing it off by heart.. if someone asked me to rap a track i'd be pretty comfortable with twinkle twinkle, its all good and jiggy.. not sure what else

this is a 5 day july 4 weekend remember!! if Legend can open so huge in december..and Will's back in the biggest weekend of the year I don't think 150 is that unreasonable
