CA&E: So, what are your musical influences? WB: Man, everything... I've got a lot of Motown in me, but growing up, being a child of the late '70s early '80s, I am steeped in hip-hop, all the early stuff--Run DMC, Rakim, UTFO, Whodini, even Will Smith to a degree, like you can't call it old school, old school, but you know like in the mid-80s when he was doing his thing. I remember listening to him and when I'd freestyle--"Hey, I sound like that guy. That's cool!" But now, I love Outkast. I love the Roots. On the R&B end, I love Jill Scott, D'Angelo, Kanye West. I know I'm leaving out a lot of people. But I've got influences that are so weird or random, like, I love Elvis, I looove Elvis. James Brown is a huge influence, Marvin Gaye. I think even on the rock end, I love Lenny Kravitz, Journey, Foreigner. I think I'm one of the only brothers on the planet that can say that I like, like Skynyrd. we should compile a list .. we got u-god, kevin smith, ludacris, wayne brady..

scheduled chat for 5pm US EST onwards /10pm UK time onwards.. on september 21 .. the day the sharktale soundtrack is released..with will smith's first track in over 2 years... everyone join in the chat.. and discuss "got to be real" ...

[quote=Prince,Sep 7 2004, 03:17 PM]I'm listening to "Stairway to Heaven" again... Very nice song! It's the version with the guitar solo in the middle! It was recorded in like '70/'71 I think, and in my opinion this is a fantastic song. I definitely don't agree with people saying about the "Satanic messages". Sure, they can play it backwards etc, but I think it was just unfortunate that it came out like that. Anyway, it's from their Fourth album (Untitled)... Some of the other songs on that are good too :thumb:[/quote] u hear that stairway to heaven covers album? pretty good! the rolf harris version is hilarious

jim.. if you want will smith off record labels..and to have full creative control..and be able to choose his singles and the way he is promoted then you gotta expext more delays.. all the record labels have merged..so theres only a few out their now..and they got everythin locked down..so its hard to release it independantly..especially when u wanna do it worldwide..that means u gotta go to each country and sell the album to a record label..its a lot of work... i think the bonus of the delays..is i think we will have a really dope album.. and more time for jeff and will to do more traxs is a good thing...

in one of the latest XXL's they had the top summer jams.. and had a top 10 from every year from 87 up to 97 i think... anyway for 1991 ..summertime wasnt no. 1!!! how the greatest rap summer joint wasnt no. 1 for 1991 is an absolute joke.. they had naughty by natures o.p.p. as no. for 91 and summertime was no. 2 ... they did however have a really kool picture of jazzy jeff and the fresh prince that i'd never seen before on the page...

jim then self combusted.. and his insides were splattered all over prince..which made him really mad!!! "after this humility i am going to..."

TOKYO — Will Smith loves three things with a passion — sushi, gadgetry and Japanese women. The 36-year-old star of "I, Robot" was in great form this week during his sixth visit to Japan, during which he stuffed himself with sushi and walked the red carpet at Roppongi Hills with the likes of the Kano sisters, Yumiko Shaku, Erika Haneda and Don Konishi. "This is a really complete film. It's got laughs, drama, a powerful and intellectual story at its center and the greatest special effects possible," he said of "I, Robot," a high-tech murder mystery based on the book of short stories by Isaac Asimov. The year is 2035 and robots are an integral part of everyday life. Detective Del Spooner (Smith) doesn't like them and starts getting bad vibes when one of the more sophisticated models is suspected of killing a human, which is supposed to be impossible according to their programming. Spooner is an old-fashioned cop who still listens to Stevie Wonder and prefers human interaction any day. "I'm the opposite," said Smith. "I love technology. I gotta have the latest, state-of-the-art gadgetry 100%. I really like the idea of robotic technology in our lives. That's what sets this movie apart from other movies where robots take over the world. This film looks at the limits of human logic, the parameters of what distinguishes a human from a robot. I'd love to have a robot, preferably a woman who I could go on long walks with, or a golf caddy." "I, Robot," which Smith also produced, is yet another in his list of special effects-laden films. "These films are really a long process," he said. "Some scenes are more than 90% CGI. Sometimes there is nothing there but me. The enjoyment for me comes when you see it all put together months later. I get to watch it like a fan." Smith, known for playing happy-go-lucky guys who save the day, said he had three rules for choosing projects. "It must be a movie that people want to see; I have to play a character who has problems; and I have to be naked in the first scene," he joked. Smith has been so busy with his film career of late that he has been neglecting his music which launched him on his showbiz career as a high school senior. Will we still be listening to his rap music in the year 2035 like his character does with Stevie Wonder in "I, Robot?" "Are you kidding? It's only 2004 and a lot of my music isn't around anymore," he said ruefully. What is around him, though, are lots of Japanese women. "I love Japanese women," he gushed. "Wait a minute, I can just see the headline on CNN tonight: eWill Smith goes crazy in Japan,' and my wife will see it. Let's just say I love how respectful Japanese women are of my marriage."

are you talking about johnny again..

well i can bring a special surprise to to the chat 4 those that cant get it :sonny:

the interviews from yesterday jim.. yeah i think it'll be US in december..rest of the world january maybe

[b]He is also planning to release a new album worldwide in January. [/b] Will Smith 07/09/2004 13:43 - (SA) Tokyo - As long as the crowds keep coming, actor Will Smith will be ready to ride the red carpet. Two months after I, Robot, his latest hit, opened in theatres across the United States, Smith was in Tokyo on Tuesday for yet another gala premiere. And it wasn't even his last. "When people are enjoying the movie, you don't ever want to stop doing premieres," he said in an interview. "You want to be going to different cities and countries and continents all over the globe. We have another one in South Africa." I, Robot, started off as another of Smith's trademark blockbusters. Following up on such hits as Independence Day, Men in Black, and Bad Boys II, the movie quickly rose to bump Spider-Man II from the top box office slot in the United States after opening in July and has already grossed more than $100m. The release time-lag means I, Robot has missed the summer season for Japan, which is typical. US movies often open several months later in Japan as local distributors uncork their own advertising campaigns, figure in local holidays and prepare the subtitles. But Smith, who has a solid following here, said he expects crowds to connect to the movie's futuristic dystopia. "It's a film that has a powerful story and an interesting concept at the centre, but also has the ability to capture the world audience," he said. "You never can say exactly why something works. I'm happy our films do well in Asia, but I can't say exactly why." In I, Robot, Smith plays a detective in 2035 who suspects a robot has murdered the reclusive scientist responsible for technological innovations that have populated the world with machine servants vaguely resembling humans. It's a physical role, heavy on the action - familiar territory for Smith. "I started off as a comedian," he said. "But I look back at my life, and think, 'I've been doing a lot of action movies.' I'm 35 now. But I've got a few more years of action movies before my knees and my back stop doing it." Smith said his next movie, tentatively titled Hitch, a romance comedy, is due out in February. He is also planning to release a new album worldwide in January. "This is pretty much the first time in my career that I feel I can go in any direction," he said. "I'm looking for a really complete film. Movies with a great character at the centre, but one that will also have big wonderful ideas connected to it. Powerful performances, powerful story." And, of course, it must "make tons of money at the box office".
