the good reviews actually review whether the artist achieved what he set out to do.. i dont care abt some critics opinion..he might not even like that style of music so trashin an album cause he doesnt like say pop/rap is worthless..

born to reign sold 237, 000 in the US according to soundscan..

comin to the stage was produced by the "hotrunners"

larry elder called Will an "uncle tom"

yeah theres so much ignorance abt jazzy jeff..you gotta let em know!!! :ali:

anyone know how many interscope shipped out in the first week? I agree the promotion by interscope was pretty substandard..it seems to be a fan driven thing.. i mean they had adds at box office mojo? why have adds at a movie site..this is a hip hop album..still switch has been no. 1 on itunes all week and should get into the top 20 ..so more and more people will find out abt the album eventually..remember jill scott only sold 15, 000 the first week and her album went double platinum so dont count it out just on the first week numbers :werd:

wel id certainly rest easier if it debuted with over 100, 000..you would expect sales to pick up during the week..strong word of mouth..wills appearance on bet mtv etc

its no #8 overall though..we wanna see that go up!

remember big willie style debuted with 60, 000 in the top 20 and went on to sell 8 million in the US..this is just the beginning for this album

60, 000 will get you top 10

back in the day you were like 2 years old :kekeke: but seriously nice track :thumb:

check out the new biography i did now up @ http://www.djjazzyjeff.com and give me some feedback.. :poke:

yo its now into 24..everyone keep posting your reviews of the album there because it will help with sales http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...=music&n=507846

considering most people will buy the album in stores and not online thats really impressive i remember big willie style and born to reign only made it to about 90 on amazon

since we got so many new members coming through..introduce yourself here :wiggle:

yo i actually got to watch this ..this morning! that was an awesome interview about the album by matt..he completely made TRL and BET presenters look like a fool with their wack interviews..asked some great questions! and got a real incite into the album.. switch and summertime were great again! i'd also like to see will perform pump ya brakes and if u cant dance live if he does more tv shows.. hopefully when they get over to the UK we'll see more

they always predict low for his movies and they'll do the same with the album.. 100K easy

blogcritics Will Smith. That is name you immediately recognize. Most associate it with blockbuster summer movies. Other associate it with rap lyrics with a positive message behind them. People also know him as a devoted husband and father. In the last two decades, Will Smith is a name people have come to know. He is not one that someone will not know about. If it isn't for his presence in movies, his music would get him noticed all too easily. Music is where he began. His first CD was released in the late eighties, and soon after the anthem about how "parents just don't understand" was released, he began his journey into acting with the release of his popular hit television show, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. It wasn't until his appearance in the blockbuster summer hit, Independence Day, that he became the man of the summer blockbuster. Each and every summer since that movie was released, Will Smith has appeared in at least one of the big summer movies. This past summer it was I. Robot. However, this year has been a busy year for Mr. Smith. Not only was I, Robot released. He also played the voice of a main character in the animated movie, Shark Tale, and he also released another movie, a comedy this time, Hitch, in the last month. With a soundtrack out for that containing one of his songs, you would think a new CD release during all of this craziness would be out of the question. This is where you would be wrong. This week has seen the release of another CD by Will Smith. This one entitled, Lost & Found. This CD is full of fifteen tracks, with one hidden bonus track.I have been a fan of his music since he began, so picking up this CD wasn't hard to do. I was glad that I did. This CD has what you can come to expect from this man and his music. He has always made a clear stance when it came to having clean cut music. He doesn't feel the need to fill his music with cussing in the lyrics and negative messages. This is what you see so much of in music of today, especially when it comes to those in rap and hip hop genres. The first single off the CD, "Switch", also appears on the Hitch soundtrack, and their is a video playing currently on MTV now. The song is fun with a good dance beat. As is most of the other songs. What is good about Will is that he can have fun with his lyrics. Another favorite song of mine on the CD is the fourth track, "Mr. Nice Guy," in which Will says just because he is nice doesn't mean he is soft. However, my favorite song on the entire CD has to be, "Tell me why". The song is a duet with Mary J. Blige, another strong and popular voice in the R&B genre. This song is rumored to be later released as a single, and I really hope that it is. Intense and powerful is how I describe this song. In past CD's, he has had songs for his son, and he does so again in this album. The song discusses the issues of the day, and asks how do you explain it to the children when they ask about what has happened. The song brought tears to my eyes the first few times that I heard it. It is truly powerful, and this song is one of the few times I've ever heard Will use a curse word within in his lyrics. This alone shocked me. However, the way it was used and the song itself didn't even make me bat an eyelash. The emotions were clear to me upon first hearing it. I really do hope this song is released as a single. A good song with a strong positive message is always needed. Music influences people. We all know this. I recommend this CD. There really one song on this CD I did not like. It is high energy and fun to listen to with positive messages throughout. No matter what this man does, he does it will. This CD is no exception.

well done rap reviews!

its pretty easy to set up an account

wow that was awesome..that was the best version of switch live ive seen.. jeffs scracthing and cuts on that version were great! and at the end with summertime and jeff changin up the beats..and wil just flowing and changin it up..it was like a real JJFP show!!!

wow the bad reviews keep coming in..i wonder if these people actually listen to the album.. insipid rhymes? are you serious? massive ego? will isnt rapping abt how good he is on this album in fact far from it..and mr nice guy and eminem?it aint even a diss he just says he was dissed by eminem and it bothered him but he moved on... its pretty clear will smith haters are just using lost and found to take shots at Will they arent serious abt reviewing this..it woukldnt matter what will released they'd be dissin it

heres the situation for those who want us to put this stuff up for non potnas http://jazzyjefffreshprince.com/forum/inde...wtopic=3323&hl= putting up large video files for people to download requires space and bandwidth..which is money $$$ so it must be regulated.. but if everyone donates some money towards this stuff i'll happily put it up for yall

jeff said on 106 & Park hes been busy touring and doin stuff with Will so its probably been delayed

Who's gonna go see Jeff and Will on the Today show tomorrow? some1 should hold up a sign "jazzyjefffreshprince.com for Real JJFP Fans!" I'm presuming Will and Jeff will be performing this time, like Will did for Born to Reign.. A chance to atleast get something signed if he isn't.. anyone on these boards from New York?
