Hancock's Smith Raps Again Will Smith, who plays a down-and-out superhero in the upcoming Hancock, told reporters that he and former music partner, DJ "Jazzy" Jeff Townes, will reunite to perform next year in connection with the movie's premiere. "We're going to go out big in July," Smith, who gained fame as the "Fresh Prince" with Townes, told reporters in a news conference in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Nov. 30. "We are figuring out some places around the world to do some big shows. It's about to be that circle back to the golden age of hip-hop. There is starting to be a little resurgence, so yeah, we are planning some things. ... It will probably go out with Hancock and do performances with premieres around the world." In Hancock, which is directed by Peter Berg, Smith plays a superhero who romances the wife (Charlize Theron) of a public-relations specialist (Jason Bateman) he hires to rehabilitate his image. The film is produced by Smith; Michael Mann, who helmed Smith in Ali; and Akiva Goldsman, who wrote Smith's upcoming I Am Legend. "It's the Michael Mann version of an alcoholic superhero," Smith said, adding: "Jason Bateman plays a publicist, and I save his life. He begins to rehabilitate me in the eyes of the public."

Wicked! <- in my best brakes voice

Never Retreat. Never Surrender. Kel Spencer has achieved a lot, but it doesn’t seem like the record labels want to recognize. He has assisted in 10 million record sales, writing for artists such as Will Smith, MC Lyte & Wyclef. He is a real artist, a genuinely talented rapper but where is the love? The music industry and the big record companies are at their lowest point right now. These record labels may underrate him, but Kel responds strongly in the Brooklyn Spartans mixtape. In 300, the Spartans fought against those that tried to oppress them, they held their position. Kel is coming back at the record labels and rap industry with the same mindset. “doors slammed in my face by every label, told I needed more of a buzz by every label, was told I needed more of a story by every label.” The mixtape starts off strong with Never Surrender. The track display’s Kel’s strong flow, he weaves in and out of the beat, dropping deft punch lines left and right while still moving forward. “and y’all be waiting on the answer/the rap remedy for the current hip hop cancer” In Rookie of the Year Kel raps over a great polow da don beat. It’s a standout on the mixtape. Kel Spencer is a master of crafting a hook. In fact it’s one of his greatest strengths. The hooks are always catchy enough to stick in your head, but still relevant to the track, not too complicated, yet not too simple. He rides so well over this harder beat you will be putting this one on repeat. “ the homies bang like Vince Carter on a fast break” Mash em out is a harder edged aggressive track filled with battle raps. My Profession features Kel’s brother Flo Blitz. This is a really strong track. Flo Blitz makes some good contributions to the mixtape. He drops some of the best verses on the album. Searching is another great track. It’s a deep track with a reggae feel. I think Kel should do more tracks like this. He has some important things to say about life. This is Brooklyn is another dope track. Kel gets some help from his brothers Flo Blitz and Pain. Get it, Get it is a grimy track. Bump it loud. Billy Jean 4000 is a crazy track about a crazy girl. It includes some very interesting answering messages. I’d like to hear the track without these though, because after a few listens it starts to get annoying. It’s an interesting story though, for sure. Say It Ain’t So is another flo blitz track and he truly shines. He drops some great lines “suspect rapper , what’s your subject matter?” The main subject is the painful current state of rap. The Titan and I’m a Soldier continue the theme of Brooklyn spartans. I’m A Soldier is one of my favorite tracks. It’s a Flo Blitz track and he delivers a powerful message. “Brooklyn came to raise me/the good lord came to save me/you ask what the game done gave me?/strong heart big shoulders yeah I’m a soldier” Don’t Play with Me features a vocal sample, a fast rap from Kel and more insight into who he is. I’m a Spartan I am not really feeling. This is Pain’s solo track. There are a lot of vocal samples from 300 in this that don’t really work, and I’m not feeling the subject matter. Kel rips it once again on Stupid. Come on Baby features some guitars but that beat doesn’t really work, that’s a skip for me. Talk it Up is a good track. Then you get a DJ Premier freestyle and Fantasia’s When I see You remix which you may have heard on Kel’s MySpace. The When I See You remix is really good and theres no surprise that got radio play around the world. Broken Language is more of the same, and Make Em Cry is another fantastic track. This is one of my favorite tracks and a really good idea and execution of a theme. Master Plan finishes off the mix tape nicely and reveals the Brooklyn Spartans master plan in the rap game. So what do you get with Kel Spencer? No cursing, intelligent raps delivered with skill and an emcee that is actually saying something. Get on board the Kel Spencer bandwagon because he is on a one-way path to success. If you liked Kel’s first mixtape “Who is Kel Spencer?” you will love “The Brooklyn Spartans.” Its Kel rapping, but he has taken his skillz to the next level. The hooks are better and I think these tracks show off Kel more. His flow is tight and his lyrics are on point. It’s a perfect prelude to that first solo album. He has shown us what he can do, and we are seeing a lot of improvement since the days of Uuhhh. Now it’s time to deliver on that promise and give us that first album. If he sticks with the same approach of his mixtapes it will be a classic.

just gave a shoutout to kevtastic & da brakes.. kel spencer is still on choicefm!

haha I just got Kev & Brakes a shoutout on choicefm!

That last one from imdb sounds promising...

i'm still working on my brooklyn spartans review! its good though!

Sunday Dec 2nd CBS 7PM EST

the source is will..articles in the movie forum hah.. they will perform where the hancock premieres are..la/new york/london/japan/china /?? hancock is a big summer blockbuster so works well with jjfp performing

good news!

looks like jazzy jeff & fresh prince will be performing july 08 while promoting hancock..something to look forward to :thumbsup:

Its funny..I think I've already heard everything Will could possibly say in interviews these days haha

Will is on Regis & Kelly December 12th!

thxs for the article

do you want a movie about vampires to be pg-13? well having read the book i dont think theres that much violence for them to use to get an R.. there are some naked female vampires who tempt neville with their flesh tho.. obviously WB wanted PG-13 to maximize profits..and what WB wants WB gets

kenny dope mixed hhf vol. 1.. "the vibe im on" was never released..it was just a mixtape jeff did for sony back in 98.. to show them what kind of vibe he was on in regards to the solo album deal with columbia..

that poster looks way off for some reason

a lot of those you can get.. itunes, amazon & even hiphopsite.com.. hip hop forever 1 wasnt mixed by jeff..the bonus disc on II was just the tracks unmixed.. the vibe i'm on you may have to hit the download programs

hilarious timing haha

great quote... does Will have any more music left in him.. he has released 9 albums 150 odd tracks.. I can live without no more will smith solo albums..i just want 1 more jjfp album..i still hold on to that glimmer of hope

I know how much he loves his music though..so its always a shock to hear him just say hes not doing any music at all.. he has a studio in his trailer.. a studio in his house.. he always likes to write.. maybe we will find out more about his mindset in the next few interviews..

I still think Will can do a few movies a year.. then take a few months off and do an album.. why does it have to be one or the other?

this is an interview ashley posted in the movie forum.. I thought i'd start a new topic here so we dont go on about music in the movie forum... Heres the problem I have with this answer.. Is Will really the greatest actor in the world? If he was a brilliant actor I could let go of the whole muisc thing.. I really don't see him choosing roles that can show his real ability.. in all his dramatic roles he has simply become the character he is playing..that is not the work of a brilliant actor.. The other thing that annoys me..how can Will go from one extreme to another.. In 2005 he is telling us he has found himself as a rapper.. then 2 years later he spends no time on music? What is the deal Will? :susel[1]:
