  7. By Ron Wynn, rwynn@nashvillecitypaper.com April 21, 2005 Will Smith has clearly heard the rumors and charges leveled at him by some radio types, writers and even fellow rappers, because he comes out firing on Lost and Found (Interscope/Overbrook). Smith doesn’t abandon his mandate of eschewing profanity (with the exception of a few occurrences), and he frequently embraces his “nice guy” persona and then uses it as a hook to verbally attack and confront his accusers. Indeed, the track “Mr. Niceguy” argues that he’s sharper and more mentally agile by not using profanity while reaffirming his roots, something he does quite frequently. He’s also ripping his critics on “Lost and Found” and “I Wish I Made That,” but the disc’s strongest message cuts aren’t aimed solely or predominantly at hip-hop detractors. “Tell My Why” addresses the horrors of 9/11, racism and hatred with verve and ardor, augmented by Mary J. Blige’s background vocals. Smith sounds most pungent on “Ms. Holy Roller,” slashing and ridiculing those who wrap their prejudices in scripture and hammer others through religion. But he doesn’t devote the entire disc to condemnations or responses to perceived slights. “Pump Ya Brakes” with all-purpose rap guest star Snoop Dogg, “Could U Love Me” and “Loretta” are journeys into romantic and relationship territory, while “If U Can’t Dance (Slide)” is both a reference to the lothario character he played in Hitch and a good-natured set of suggestions to those whose bravery at parties outstrips their good judgment. Smith knows he’ll never fully satisfy or please those who equate hip-hop authenticity with criminal misbehavior or some perceived “street” value system, but he’s not shy about voicing his disdain with these attitudes. Lost and Found shows that while Smith isn’t about to change his image, he’s no longer going to sit still without responding while others question his rapping skills or his devotion to the idiom.
  8. seriously i think lost and found is the worst reviewed album ever! how could you listen to the album and not know why Will would make an album instead of making another movie for 20 million.. people obviously just dont listen to the lyrics or the message anymore :mad8:
  9. Recordings Will Smith - Lost and Found Adam Staley Staff Writer Will Smith- Lost and Found In the hip-hop of the 21st century, gunshot wounds dictate success more than talent, and being “hard” is the only way to assert credibility. It is nice to find an artist willing to buck this trend, but — shock! — Will Smith ain’t enough of a trailblazer to break the current mold. Simply making fun of Smith’s Lost and Found would be easy (not to mention fun), but there is much to be said for some of the risks taken by the former Fresh Prince. After starting with three of the most trite party rap songs you’ll ever hear, “Mr. Niceguy” and “Mr. Holy Roller” will leave your jaw hanging wide open. “Niceguy” isn’t quite a diss song, per se, but Smith takes shots at many who “mistake nice for soft,” including Eminem and the androgenous Wendy Williams. “Holy Roller” is less specific, but equally personal, as Smith attacks self-righteous, born-again Christians. Needless to say, hearing this sort of passion coming from Smith is rather surprising. But many songs sound hackneyed and sophomoric. “I Wish I Made That” sounds more like a rookie’s attempt at a breakout song than an old-schooler trying to re-establish himself, and “Could U Love Me” uses a beat that sounds like it was stolen from Fabolous’ studio. The listener is left with one simple question: Why, Will Smith, why would you make another album when you make $20 million a film? http://www.ucsdguardian.org/cgi-bin/hiatus?art=2005_04_21_04

  14. oh yeah i used to e-mail that guy back in the day.. it was a 1 page jjfp site :thumb:
  15. i remember tracing back an e-mail AJ sent me in 1998 :kekeke:
  16. welcome... yep Will is still doin his thing..has always stayed true to himself..and lost and found is a another great album :angel:
  17. I know its killin me..where did i hear that before :toetap:
  18. yeah they have some of the best videos out of any artist.. i love the ring my bell video..that is hilarious!! :hilarious: :hilarious: :hilarious:
  19. not only did will say i wanna take the H O out of hollywood and make it willywood in one of his unreleased tracks..but hes talked abt this in an interview..i just cant remember where..dont know if it was oprah or somewhere..but i remember him talkin abt it b4
  20. update to the numbers.. it actually sold 48,056 this week taking the total to 208,165 .. hopefully it can sell another 40, 000 next week
  21. I'm not a fan of the elephant man remix, actually i would have preferred if it was left off the album.. i really like the switch rnb remix..but i would have kept that on the single..switch only needs to appear on lost and found once
  22. Also I have witnessed Will being nothing but the nicest person to fans signing autographs getting pictures taken.. He gets this his whole life, which if I was in his position i would consider it quite difficult, but he shows everyone nothing but the utmost respect.. I think another way he gives sumthin to fans is by continually releasing quality movies and music for everyone to enjoy...
