I’ve seen some reaction videos online that were very positive. So I guess people like it.

Maybe a bit early but how would you guys rank Will’s albums after the release of B.O.A.T.S? I’m having a hard time making a list. I know I will change my mind next week but at the moment I would rank the albums as followed: 1. Willennium 2. BWS 3. Lost & Found 4. B.O.A.T.S 5. Born To Reign I might switch Lost & Found with BOATS afters a couple more listens.

He always gets bad album reviews, people just love to hate!

Yeah, we need a CD or vinyl!

Great to some of the old heads returning to the forum! Make It Look easy is also really catchy!

The intro is straight fire! Love hearing Will and Jeff on the same track.

Been blasting the album all morning. Rave In The Wasteland is such a banger. I was kinda scared when Tim said it sounded like Get Lit but this is nothing like it! Great stuff! You Lookin For me is such a powerful track. Love the beat too. Kinda wished he didn't put "First Love" on the album, feel out of place.

Hard to pick just one. You Lookin For Me, Bulletproof, Tantrum, Work Of Art, Rave In The Wasteland are among my favorites at the moment.

The album dropped in Belgium. This has been worth the wait. Damn! That first track has some real JJFP vibes. Never thought we would get something like that from Will. Love the album. It really feels like an album. Bulletproof goes hard! You Looking for me is dope! Hell, Rave in the wasteland is crazy. The interludes make it feel like a real album. I agree with Tim about First Love, it will be a skip for me.

I really hope we'll get a CD and/or vinyl. Maybe he'll release it on his official website.

Great performance. Bulletproof is growing on me. I bet we'll get a video for this song.

Yeah it’s weird he’s not doing shows in the US. Maybe when he drops the second or third album in the B.O.A.T.S series?

That’s because my interests are still the same! Good to see you again, been a while. Hopefully the new music will get this place poppin again!

Love this verse and the song Bulletproof! This album sounds amazing.

It’s from a website. https://www.essence.com/entertainment/will-smith-announces-based-on-a-true-story/

This is great! Love that Jeff is on the album. Let the countdown begin!

I love this interview. They talk about Code Red, Willennium and hip hop in general. The interviewer knows what he's talking about. He talks about songs like "The Rain" and "Shadow Dreams". Great stuff!

So we know that there will be three albums (or seasons) as he calls it. One will be released in March this year. The albums will be called Based On A True Story and every season gets a news title: Album 1: Rave in the wasteland Album 2: The Gift of Madness Album 3: no title yet We will get 10 tracks per album. https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/will-smith-talks-based-true-story-album-new-music-1235888222/

Not waiting on a sequel for Hancock at this moment. The first one was okay but doesn't need a sequel.

Here's the lyric video.

Passing on this one. Not my thing.
