Will Smith Live In Concert: Post Your Reviews
Hero1 replied to fan 4ever's topic in Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
I'm gonna look out for you then! :wink: -
Party Starter will definitely be the next single, my sources confirm this. Also it will be released in Australia in August. So perhaps a July release for UK and US ?

Will Smith Lost and Found Interscope The Fresh Prince became a unique star in the world of hip-hop by speaking for the other side of the streets: as the voice of brothers who like school, never thought about selling drugs, and have dinner at home with their parents. Since Yo! MTV Raps and Lady B's Street Beat till now, Smith has asserted black life isn't just poverty and ignorance. Seventeen years after He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper, Smith releases Lost and Found, an entire CD of relevant hip-hop music. While Jazzy Jeff has never dropped the ball as a producer or DJ, Smith has spent a little too much time competing with other rappers. This time he focuses creatively on himself. Lost and Found opens with "Here He Comes," an exciting track that samples the beats and sound effects from the original '60s Spider-Man cartoon. Smith honors the old-school rule stating that if you use a beat that well-known and loved, you absolutely have to bring hot lyrics. He pulls it off. On this CD Smith thought about what type of music would make him happy. This formula works as well today as it did in '89. On "Mr. Niceguy" he says Wendy Williams and others who claim to report on his personal life need to get a life of their own. But the album's hit is "Tell Me Why" with Mary J. Blige, a song about Smith's struggle to explain Sept. 11 and the war in Iraq to his son. This track is the most passionate one Smith has recorded in his career. Mary J. should get him to use his labelmate Jadakiss on the remix. Smith's originality shines on "Ms. Holy Roller," about a friend who gets on his nerves after she finds Jesus. (Why did it take an MC so long to make this record?) What's missing is at least one track with Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff going back and forth and addressing MCs and DJs trying to do what they do. The block party-style tracks are part of what made both his first two LPs classic. The beats here are infectious, which is good, but the album works best when Smith asserts on tracks like "Lost & Found" that hip-hop is suffering from everybody trying to out-gangsta each other. Lost and Found depicts the life of a mature, successful and intelligent black man. It's not another CD about rich men acting like they enjoy selling drugs and hoping somebody will shoot them. Smith did a great job rebuilding on this project. Definitely find a place for Lost and Found in your collection. A- (Raymond Tyler) Philadelphia Weekly

[ Will Smith - Lost and Found ] 3 and a half star out of five Interscope I don’t care if you can’t stand Will Smith. You’re likely part of a majority who’ve formulated an opinion based on what everyone else thinks. Which is a shame, because this album shows that Will can write rhymes. Of course you won’t find a single four letter word in here – but that’s the point. This proves that it is possible to do 60 minutes of music without taking the next man down. Lost and Found is typically confrontational, like all of Will’s releases – but it’s focused and kind of sarcastic at the same time. There is everything from the soulful, the aggressive and the party on this release. It is incisive on Here he Comes, it’s pimp on Party Starter and its just brilliant on Tell me Why featuring Mary J Blige. Snoop Dogg rolls in and out on Pump ya Brakes while Loretta – well you just gotta hear it. I must admit, I expected a little less from this album and while it’s not as profound as some of the all time greats, it’s far more than goofy old Will. The Fresh Prince is shining once again – and it’s not Summertime! Rezo Beat Magazine

LIVE 8: U.S STARS AT SCOTS GIG By Cameron Robertson WILL Smith and Stevie Wonder will join the list of top names appearing at the Edinburgh concert. Brad Pitt, George Clooney and John Travolta are also in talks about joining them at the July 6 extravaganza. The five US stars will all appear on stage at the July 2 Philadelphia gig. Virgin Airlines boss Richard Branson will lay on a jet to take them to Scotland, via London. A Live 8 source said yesterday: "They all want to be part of the campaign to make poverty history. They realise they can make a difference. "They know the public looks up to them and politicians listen to what they say." Ocean's Twelve stars Brad and George have already appeared in ads for the Make Poverty History drive. Sir Richard will also provide planes to take charity officials from Africa and London to Edinburgh and a Live 8 train between the English and Scottish capitals. He said: "I'm happy to be able to help a bit." The Murrayfield show, hosted by comics Peter Kay and Lenny Henry, will also feature Dido, Annie Lennox, Travis, Wet Wet Wet, Texas, McFly and Ronan Keating. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/tm_objectid=1...-name_page.html

Box-office megastars TOM CRUISE and WILL SMITH are secretly looking for a film project to team up on. In a recent MTV NEWS special, Cruise admitted the two blockbuster superstars are on the hunt for the perfect movie. He says, "Will and I keep talking, we're looking for something. We saw Will's HITCH. That was the funniest movie I've seen in a long time. I laughed my a*s off. I'd like to work with him." Cruise is also keen to work with ICE CUBE and current girlfriend KATIE HOLMES, who was at one point rumoured to be a part of the movie hunk's upcoming MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE sequel. He added, "I'd love to work with her. She's a great actress. We will work together one day... no question." 13/06/2005 09:02 contactmusic
