A video Bio.

Well Russell Simons has said that Will Smith is the most sucessful rapper to date... music, movies, etc... However, what is his standing in record sales? 8 Albums, and the jury is still out on Lost and Found. Where does he stand among other rappers?

I loving Party Starter more and more everytime I hear it, but I liked it in the beginning, so that's not saying much. Loretta I must say has grown on me a lot. I don't think it's that I didn't like it. I think it was just overshadowed a bit by Party Starter, Tell Me Why and Mr. Nice Guy. Loretta has definitely grown on me the most. It's in my top 4 now. Possibly top 3. I Wish I Made That/Swagga probably grew on me the fastest. The first time I listened to it, I was like... hmm... it's good. But the second time, I was like... oooohhhhhhhh, hot!!!! And it still remains my favorite track on the album.

Lol, bigted is speaking out. Right on

:nono: Things have gotten progressively worse. I don't understand. 3 weeks ago, people were actually having discussions, and regardless of how banal, they were still discussions. Now... sigh... I think that we should just take over that site with intelligent, sensible threads. Everyone should register and try to revive that forum and lift it's dignity a bit. Everytime someone puts up a dumb thread, we should put up something worth discussing to bump that dumb thread down. Hopefully, we could knock some sense into people over there or get them to go away, and also promote this forum. Why... because when real fans and casual fans visit that site, that forum is what they'll see, and we want to foster their support, lol, and then have them come here... not have them leave looking like I know Tim and others have tried, but this may take a group effort.

Will sure is involved and rumored in quite a number of movies even though he's taking a few months for music.

Will Smith

Wow, that song is killing everyone else.

And really, I think some reviewers criticize for the sake of criticizing. I've read things concerning his lyrics being banal and unimaginative... simplistic even. The big question should I run the mind a vittle Food for thought or dumb the rhyme a little But Will “if you come to high that’ll alienate folks & they won’t buy it" I want to know how many people have used the word vittle in their lyrics and connected it so well to the message that was being communicated.

Lol, if people from Lorettaville start showing up here, they will be rebuked and clowned heavily.

Slick Rick? Who is Slick Rick? Run DMC? Who's that... Lol, this is how kids are coming up these days. It's common and widespread. But 50... 50's cool, everyone knows who he is. He got shot 9 times and that's an endearing quality. :nono:

Is there a list?

And as an addendum to the previous post. The reviewer's rating was included in the overall rating.

The overall rating is 4 and the reviewer's rating is 2. Enough said.

I have to agree with Tim. I sense a bit of hypocricy here... and I know I'm not the only one. When Will Smith makes party tracks, Gettin Jiggy Wit It or Miami for instance, the reviewers say that his music isn't relevant, that it's too light and fluffy and that it's not hip hop... that he's been out of the black community too long... that his subject matter is just superficial and lacks any real depth and all it's good for is for a party or the club, and even then they wouldn't dance to it. So now he takes time to really dig into his soul, "the most revealing writing" he's ever done, and puts out music where he releases what he feels, where he's spitting truth on a variety of subject, and yet there are still a few party/feel good tracks. But now they want to say he's trying to acting street, that he's trying to be hard, that he isn't sincere and that he's bitter. Am I the only one who sees the glaring hypocrisy here? And no, for the reviewers who think his subject matter is one sided, it's really not. He does address the state of rap music on a few tracks, Lost and Found, I Wish I Made That, and the last verse of Party Starter, but it's needed, and it's needed sorely, and anyone who thinks that he puts too much of a focus on this really doesn't understand the disaray hip hop is in right now. I advice you to turn on your tv and watch BET for and hour. Incidentally, how many reviewers are saying that 50 talks about guns and sex in his music too much, cause it's on almost every track, and most times, that's all the track is about. I don't hear writers crying over rappers talking about Jacob the Jewelers on every other song. Look, bottom line, the man had something to say, he said it, and a lot of people are enjoying hearing him say it, but for those who want people to be boxed into a certain musical format, to only address certain subjects, you're taking the rapper at face value and you should be ashamed of yourselves. :nono:

Run and read ya'll. Run and read. Lol

It's on right now! And Will started off the show.

Hahahaha... The groovacide bomber strikes again! This is great news. It shot up very quickly. It was number 10 when it first came out, now number 2, and his appearance on the kids choice awards tonight it just going to cement his sales numbers. That's what's up.

The awards begin at 8pm US Eastern Standard Time.

Luda's been doing his thing ya'll, and regardless of whether he's on the same level with Will or not, "Party Starter" is a hot track, bottom line. From what Luda did with that track, he deserves to be on the song. You just can't sit still when it plays, and it's a bet that he would bring even more energy, if that's even possible, to a remix. Let's not let our dislike for 50, TI and others spread to every artist other than Will. There are some people who remain innovative with their music past their first album, and if you've seen the "Number 1 Spot" video, you definitely have to count Luda in that number. Luda may not be the greatest rapper, but he has a lot of imagination.

hhmmm... this has kinda been stated before, but Will has never done a movie with Diaz, so why would he say something like this? Eva Mendes is hispanic, and he kissed her... So when and where did he "say" this. Suspect.

Haha, ty said group hug. Lol. It's all luv ya'll.

It's up.

Access Hollywood just had Trey Smith on talking about the Kids Choice Awards tomorrow night and a "Big Surprise" he has for his dad. As always, I have the video clip. It'll be available in about 15 min. You know where to find the link.

I wonder if we could fit Amerie in there anywhere... Wishful thinking...
