Will Smith, Lost and Found (Interscope) 2 stars out of five Dorian Lynskey Friday March 25, 2005 The Guardian Lost and Found has been touted as the record which will reveal Will Smith's "tougher side", but who on earth is interested in Will Smith's tougher side? A likable yet limited MC, his decision to stray from his usual blend of impish party tunes and extended jingles for the latest summer blockbuster constitutes one of the most ill-advised career moves since MC Hammer went gangsta. Smith may be a fine actor but even he can't pull off the role of surly badass. Only listeners with an unquenchable appetite for superstar self-pity will enjoy Mr Niceguy, on which he chastises Eminem and our old friends "the haters": "Sometimes y'all mistake nice for soft." At least his newfound seriousness pays off when he raises his eyes from his navel on Ms Holy Roller to bluntly compare the religious right to the 9/11 hijackers, but Lost and Found is mostly a perplexing exercise in fixing what wasn't broken. Clearly it's something he needed to get out of his system. Let's leave him to it, shall we?

this is just in development will hasnt decided to do it yet..and yes its old news

spread the word!! :wiggle:

im now in charge of http://www.djjazzyjeff.com :ridepony:

Yeah I wonder why... you got Jeffs phone number? Nah. But people claim they have connections to Will & Jeff. Why don´t they prove it? because noone needs to prove anything

yes i can front on foxy brown..she cant rap for ****! she did a live show once and was booed off the stage..she cant rap for real..all her lyrics are written by other people and she can only flow in the studio..**** her ill na na!

we already know the next single is tell me why so this poll is pointless

here we go.. The Independant 4 stars out of 5 http://enjoyment.independent.co.uk/music/r...sp?story=623355 Album: Will Smith Lost and Found, INTERSCOPE By Andy Gill Published : 25 March 2005 As with many rappers, Smith's favourite subject here is himself - but unlike most, he ponders his situation with a certain depth and intelligence. Why, he wonders in "I Wish I Made That", won't black radio play him? Maybe he might be considered "black enough" if he robbed a bank? Of course, he's too squeaky-clean for that, but the jibes from hardcore exponents have stung him to bite back on tracks such as "Mr Niceguy" and "Lost and Found", in which he defends his old-school style: "Why should I try to sound like y'all sound?/ That's what's wrong with the rap game/ It's like a circus with a bunch of clowns/ A bunch of cliques I'd probably rap circles around". Of such foul-mouthed gangsta slackers, he enquires, "Did you take time to think about the seeds you're sowing?" But it's not just Smith's colleagues who feel the lash of his tongue. "Ms Holy Roller" is a critique of a born-again Christian who "Can't wait to tell/ If I don't believe what you believe, I'm goin' to hell", swelling to a ferocious indictment of right-wing fundamentalism, more powerful for coming from a committed Christian. With surprisingly sympathetic pieces elsewhere about a stalker ("Loretta") and the difficulty of explaining death to children ("Tell Me Why"), Lost and Found finds the fun-lovin' Fresh Prince finally becoming one of the more mature and thoughtful figures in hip-hop.

lil kim and foxy are 2 of the trashiest female emcees to ever grace the game.. what happened to queen latifah monie love mc lyte salt n pepa ladybug from digable planets.. these are dope female emcees! there isnt any anymore!!!!the only female emcee im feelin these days is this underground artist "apani by fly emcee" and shes only released a few 12" 's i think.. its really sad theres no1 else and people like latifah n monie love etc havent released a rap album in years :mad8:

why does scy always post straight after a few hits from the bong :kekeke:

well ive had people e-mail me who have seen the video :peace:

:hilarious: :hilarious: :hilarious: i love that 1

to quote del.. "critics dont buy the records, fans do and i respect that"

:hilarious: :hilarious: how noble of you wes :kekeke:

comin to the stage and we wont! kool! :kool:

Cool.. Me 2. But i really don't expect that 2 happen. why's that? Cause It's been so long since last time.. and Will has said no more JJFP. I believe he'll stand by that. Maybe a tour and so, but not a album. It's so.. like.. unlikely... Too good to be true. willennium was released in 1999..that was all JJFP except for the name..jeff scratched on nearly every track..produced 9 tracks.. appeared in the videos for will2k, so fresh and freakin it.. thats what i want :werd:

that review is garbage..sounds like some1 who has no idea what hes talking about trying to make sense of a dope album

still J-lo's album is gonna go gold which isnt too bad.. i think the word of mouth on the album Will keep lost & found in the charts for a long time..and when he releases "tell me why" watch out :peace:

Cool.. Me 2. But i really don't expect that 2 happen. why's that?

my prediction: it will debut with 100, 000 and go on to sell at least 1.5 million

im not commenting on the album at all..i think its excellent..im just saying we need more jazzy jeff and fresh prince.. :ali:

you guys are smokin sum ****.. what stero system u listenin 2 here he comes with? blast the track loud..put the bass on high..and tell me that aint a dope beat!! :ali:

they normally have it in alphabetical order so it doesnt matter at all!

columbia's probably thinking.."that will smith he's too old to sell records" now lets see who else we can drop from our label.. :grin:
