I’ve found a website for the official streaming chart in the UK but it’s not in the top 100. I’ve got a feeling it gets updated weekly because they announce it on radio 1. So maybe we’ll see on Friday.

I love this. I don’t know if everyone will agree with me but I think his team have done a great job promoting this album on social media. He used to go on shows like TRL to promote it but the world is so different now. They know what people like, going viral with the anxiety video because they know everyone loves Fresh Prince, joining influencers on videos and doing stuff like this. It’s just seems to be getting bigger and although he’s getting a lot of hate still. I can see a lot more positive comments and love, particularly on this barbershop video. It was a good move.

As if Will is coming out with the best stuff of his career at age 56. He’s got more charisma in this than every modern rapper put together. As a fan, we know he’s awesome but this even has me shocked how good it is.

If there is a physical album I will 100% but it, I like to have a music collection and I can put the CD in my car. But I have a subscription to Amazon music so I’ve been streaming it on that. The only option to buy that I can see is Apple Music for £12.99. I don’t have money to waste of buying it to then play it on an app I don’t use.

It’s a hard one because I still struggle to rate the original 4 haha. I’d say Willenium Lost and Found Big Willie Style Based on a True Story Born to Reign Still digesting BOATS, although I’ve probably listened to it about 15 times in the last 3 days.

Yeah Will doesn’t tend to get good reviews for either film or music so it doesn’t make much difference to me. What’s most important is that the fans are enjoying it and on the most part we are. I’m sure it matters more to Will what we think. i was going to make a joke about reviewers knowing nothing because it’ll be some 40 year old white person, but that’s actually describing me now haha.

I chose rave in the wasteland but my other top songs are bulletproof, beautiful scars and make it look easy. Need to listen more to judge against songs that were out a year ago.

I am so happy with this album, it’s exceeded my expectations, been playing it all day. The barbershop intro is the perfect start, that stuff needed to be said and it’s great to see Jeff on there. I’m enjoying “you looking for me”, it’s a middle of the road track for me. ”Rave in the wasteland” was a huge shock for me, seeing the title, it looked a little odd but when that beat started it was crazy. Sounds so different from anything he’s done, his flow is insane. Possibly my fave of the new, unreleased ones. Love “bulletproof” I think I heard it a while back when he did it live and I’ve been waiting to hear it properly. Definitely one of the better tracks of the album. “Hard times” is great, I love RnB so the female vocalist sounds great to me. Only negative was Will wasn’t quite featured enough on it, but musically it’s beautiful. Been playing “beautiful scars” lots the last few weeks, one of my top tracks of the album. “Tantrum” has been out a while, I’ve seen most people love this one, I like it but it’s lower down on my list of tracks. Maybe I’ve overplayed it waiting on this album haha. “First love” is my least favourite, the vocalist just isn’t my style and Wills flow just isn’t as good. I don’t dislike it so much but it’s just nowhere near as good as the rest of the album. Don’t know why they chose to release it. Really like “make it look easy”, it’s grown on me a lot throughout the day. It’s almost like big Willie style vibes. Such a nice, chill, fun song. I’ve always really liked “you can make it”. It came out when I was coming to the end of a tough couple of years, so it’s a special song to me. I’ve always really enjoyed “work of art” too. Being the second song out made me realise we were gonna get some great music out of Will after 20 years. Overall, love it. I think it’s perfect to come out with music like this after recent years. I’m ok with the swearing, he’s no longer got his squeaky clean image so he may as well haha. I’m hoping the next chapter/album has more fun, upbeat songs. But as the first one back, it’s just right.

I love bulletproof from this. Can’t wait to hear it properly on the album, I e only heard him do it live so far.

Got tickets for Wolverhampton to meet up with Brakes, Kev and Michelle. The JJFP crew is back together. We’ve not seen each other since 2018

So excited for this album, love you can make it, work of art, bulletproof and beautiful scars. I’m not as much of a fan of first love but we can’t have it all. Just 5 days to go, we’ve been waiting a long time for this moment. I’m also hoping for a physical CD. It just won’t feel right if this album doesn’t sit on the shelf with the rest of them.

I’m hoping he comes back to the UK but I’m willing to travel to Europe if I have to. That’s what savings are for right.

Awesome. I’ll give it a try. 2 songs out now the album has to be coming in a few weeks surely.

Love the new song. I think I new album is imminent and judging by what we’ve heard it’s gonna be amazing. He has so much love from the crowd too, he must of felt amazing when they were chanting his name. The performance has 1.2 million views on YouTube so far and all positive comments.

I’ve read so many comments on instragram and YouTube etc and 95% of them are positive. People were still talking about that slap 2 years later. But after this I’ve read comments about forgiveness. If anything, its done so much good for his reputation, I hope he’s reading all of it.
