"...you know if you read the article closely I never mention Will Smith in the movies. My comments was toward the music." I think Bow Wow said something about how Will's movies in that XXL interview too if I'm not mistaken and he said that he's gonna surpass Will's movies too, he did diss Will's acting too, he said Denzel's much better than Will...he said Will don't make movies that mean anything, he didn't obviously read what they printed in that article but that's exactly what he said, he said he didn't diss Will's movies but he did.... Obviously this fool don't know how to read, but this is what he said in the XXL interview, this fool's lucky that Will's a team player and letting him live 'cause if he said that about me I don't if I'd be able to hold back not responding publically: "Will Smith can act, but he does more of those blockbuster Hollywood movies, which I wanna do. But also I wanna do it like Denzel. Movies that really mean something. I feel like I can definitely be better than him."

It's already posted man!! Delete this topic... :bat:

Obviously this another immature kid, if you're really a JJFP fan register, if not don't post these ignorant posts here anymore, we should pay punks like you no mind, there's no more to discuss between Will and Eminem, moderators lock this topic please!!! :paperbag:

This compalition album sounds dope but a new JJFP album'd be even better!! :word:

Uh Ice Cube's 1st movie was "Boyz In The 'Hood" 16 Years Ago!!! :stars: Anyways I'm looking forward to his album, it'd be interesting if Will did a track with Ice Cube, it'd be something that not a lot of people would expect, he should get Jazzy to produce the track too...

Is FP gonna release that album through Interscope or is he gonna be on another label? With the "Lost and Found" album being certified platinum, he should still be signed to Interscope... I don't care for Interscope much but I'm hoping he sold enough to not get dropped 'cause we'll have to wait for him to get on another label before we get more music and that's not good...It's good to know that Kel's getting some deals offered too him, now he won't have to settle for Bad Boy, lol... Things are looking good....

that's what i'm saying though, how could you expect will put up big numbers if the media resists him? he outsold a lot of rappers that got heavy rotation on mtv and black radio stations, i swear everytime i turned on hot 97 last summer i heard them play fat joe's "get it poppin'" but yet he didn't even go gold, will could've easily bricked with no support from the media, maybe the live 8 and the nba finals performances saved the album... it's industry politics holding will back, i mean how the hell could fat joe get a top 10 on trl and 106 & park selling 200,000 albums while Will sells 600,000 and can't make the countdowns? would fat joe sell anything if they didn't play him? hell no, he only sells 'cause of spins but not that many people really wanna hear him, they jump on the bandwagon when something gets played a lot, people buy will's album 'cause they respect his talent, not marketing and promotion, now if he had a lil' bit of promotion there's no question that "lost and found" would've scanned platinum on 'switch' alone if it got in the top 10 on trl, 106 & park, and black radio, plus getting on the cover of the source or xxl, but that ain't happening though, will might have to punch a sucka out to play him, lol... people wanna see will's videos more than fat joe's of the game, it's obvious since more people buy will but the media don't play them though but will don't fit the radio format as a clean artist, "black radio/they don't play me though/even though the fans went out and bought enough/guess they think will ain't hard enough"

will could've released more singles and sold a lil' more but 'cause of his clean image he probably wouldn't outsell 50 Cent or Game no matter how much i'd like him to, he could release 5 singles but it's not a guarantee it'd sell even 2 million 'cause there's a whole competition of 100 gangsta/crunk songs on the radio out at the same time, this album's not as radio friendly as even the black eyed peas who're basically the other non-gangsta/crunk hip-hop artists selling, he could sell millions again if he made every song like "if you can't dance" and "switch"... Common had all that hype plus 3 hit singles and only did 750,000, he should've done better than that, sadly he wouldn't gone gold if it wasn't for kanye who's the hot hitman on the producing board/mic right now who went double platinum but that'll wear down after awhile, but you think about it everybody else in the commercial rap market is either gangsta or crunk, seriouly it's hard to find a market for real mcs like will, if mc hammer and heavy d weren't big then maybe "summertime" wouldn't have been such a big hit either at that time, times changed, it ain't that diverse market in hip-hop anymore, so it's a great comeback that has me anticipating more...

delete this since bow wow responded in that allhiphop.com interview, it's unnecessary to harass Bow Wow now, we could let him live!!

i don't like either of them so i ain't listening, artists always have to name drop somebody just to get interest in their work, it's ridiculous...

I think Will got gold plaques for "Born To Reign" and "Code Red" even though they sold only like 200,000+ but hey he deserves every plaque he gets 'cause he works hard... If you think about it though it evens out with the bootleggers and the illegal downloads that don't get tallied, it'd probably add up for a 200,000 album to sell 500,000 and a 700,000 to sell 1,000,000...

will said that he wants time to rest though, as long as he does some work on music during this downtime i'm happy, he deserves to have a break like everyone else and enjoy some of his success

Bow Wow is that you? :willvspaparazzi:

I agreed when AllHipHop.com made Will Smith man of the year, that's a legitimate time where I agree with the media, there are times where they do give real artists their due but a lot of the times they promote the junk but I guess you gotta take the good with the bad like anything... Bow Wow probably read that article in admiration too, he just putting up hype to keep up his image but when it comes down to it he'd never wanna step to Will on the mic, the same goes for when anyone else disses Will, they wouldn't do it in his face, if they all really think they're better than Will they'd challange him to a live battle but they know that Will would kill them... Let's just "Wave 'Em Off"...

Well do you want Will to work with Jeff on the JJFP album or do you want him to go out with Mary promoting "Tell Me Why"? He's only one man, he can't do both...

A year ago if you told me that "Lost and Found" would go platinum I wouldn't believe you 'cause the material on this album is not catchy enough for the average commercial rap fan who wants to hear songs about rims, sexual fantasies, cash, and glocks and all that nature that every other famous rapper talks about but I guess there were enough real hip-hop fans out there that made it possible, it's great to know that there's still a market for Will, he outsold 90% of the thug rappers too, it's a great feeling, bring on a JJFP album!!! This along with the AMA should give a message to Jimmy Iovine that if he puts more focus into marketing Will's future albums there they could sell a lot, Will's career in rap ain't dead yet...

Now if hip-hop don't work out for Nick Cannon, I could see him having a solid career with acting/comedy 'cause that young brotha got talent, can't front on it, I'm not that offended if you compare certains things of him to a young FP 'cause he got potential, but Bow Wow's garbage all the way around, he knows it too, he's just trying to hype himself up to see how long people'll be stupid enough to buy his album, somebody gotta tell him that you can't be a real mc if you don't write any of your lyrics, if I was interviewing him I'd brought that up, what a joke!!! How could you be stepping up in your lyric game if you only write a part of 2 songs on an album??!! He said many times that he didn't write anything on his first couple albums so they shouldn't even count, by the time LL was 18 he wrote classics that the hip-hop world are still singing today... I saw allhiphop.com doing a feature on Britney's husband too, they shouldn't be promoting that crap, they should be doing articles on mcs that matter not these gimmicks if they represent true hip-hop, they hype all of this beef crap too, that's what wrong with the rap game right now, the media sucks!!! Shame on anybody who buys Bow Wow's crap, that's the last time I wanna even discuss this fool!! :paperbag: ...

:kekeke: See if I said that in an interview people'd think I dissed Will but nah I was saying that he ain't even close to touchin' Will's mic...

I guess Big Willie'll be getting a platinum plaque after all!! :yeah:

Well now as long as him and Will got no beef it's all good, nobody who goes for hip-hop history goes by Bow Wow's interpretation of hip-hop so his opinion don't hold much weight, they're 2 different artists, Will caters to everyone, Bow Wow caters to lil' girls, I'm not a lil' girl so Bow Wow don't cater to me, I don't own any of his albums and I don't plan to either...But hey you could say that he definately is more advanced than Will acting at this young age 'cause Will didn't start acting yet even though Bow Wow's movies are basically worthless at this point anyway, once one of his albums flop though he won't be getting any cornball roles in films, they'll give that to another "hot" rapper.... But as far as rapping, there's no comparison, he thinks he's better than Will 'cause he's posin' as a wannabe gangsta in his songs but he's gonna be learnin' the hard way that people don't respect him for that, he don't know what being a real mc is... He's a lot worse than Will and he knows it but he won't say that publically 'cause that won't be good for his image, Will could care less if Bow Wow thinks he's better than Will, Will could cry all the way to the bank with $20 mill from acting and go home to his palace with all the platinum plaques on his wall and his beautiful fam waiting for him while Bow Wow's down to his last of his fifteen minutes, he better save up 'cause he's down to his last meal in entetainment... Hopefully this is one of the last times we talk about him on this board 'cause he's a worthless artist, he's online to being the next 50 Cent, he'll never be the next Will Smith or LL Cool J, his career'll be dead in a few years just like 50's, he won't be big in acting or rapping, he'll be forgotten...

Nobody'll compare him to a younger LL Cool J, that's disrespectful, come on what kind of crap is that?!!! comparing 'Bounce Wit Me' To 'I Can't Live Without My Radio' is a complete joke, LL wrote 'I Can't Live With My Radio' but Bow Wow didn't write 'Bounce Wit Me' :rofl: :hmm: :willvspaparazzi: Let's see when Will was Bow Wow's age he won the 1st rap Grammy, how many Grammies has Bow Wow been nominated for? He needs to go back to school and keep legends name out of his mouth...

That's great to know!! :2thumbs:

Bow Wow's right that his music is nothing like Will's, he makes music for lil' girls and Will makes music for all ages and genders, he better slow down comparing himself to LL though, he don't want beef with him, lol, but at least he said that he respects Will for what he's done and that's all that matters and that's all we wanted, we don't want him to trash a legendary mc, he probably saw all the negative comments about him so hopefully he grows up now, thanks for sharing with us, now we could let him live, lol...

Nelly knows how to make catchy songs, can't be mad that he's making a lasting career out of it, as long as he don't call himself the "G.O.A.T." lyricist or anything like that...

Will talks about getting respect by hip-hop heads, he don't complain about what he don't sell, there's a lot of people that hip-hop heads don't respect who sell a lot, Will don't worry about pop success, he worries about being named in hip-hop circles, you don't see Nelly being hip-hop person of the year, Will is, so he got what he wanted with this album, the most important thing is that he puts effort into making the albums, he don't need to put effort into promoting them, no matter if it sells a few thousand or a few million, those who listen to it will enjoy them and consider him one of the top mcs they ever heard and that's all that matters, Jazzy don't put effort into selling his mixtapes but whoever buys them considers him a legendary DJ, hip-hop changed now, back in the days the highest selling ones were the ones with the most skills but now it's an A&R driven industry, maybe if he caved into A&R demands and makes an all crunk album rapping about rims and grillz in all of his songs instead of food for thought songs, then maybe he'd sell millions we don't want that though and he don't wanna be a industry puppet, maybe if he battled another rapper they'd push his album more too but he don't do that beef crap, he wants to stay true to his art, when it's a day that quality art sells again we'll see Will on the top of the charts.... Even if promotion was a lil' better he probably wouldn't outsell 50 Cent these days 'cause it's an image that sells, he'd sell a lil' more if he had more singles no question but for me to say that he'd sell 5 million is a pipedream where the majority of the public only eats up this gangsta rap crap, I mean look at Common he released 3 singles just like Game did but Common didn't get caught in no gangsta rap beef like Game did so he sold 750,000 while Game sells 2 million, Common's more advanced with his lyrics than Game who's just starting but people buy into the gangsta rap image and don't want that positive rap, maybe if Will released a couple more singles in that time period he'd probably just sells a few hundred thousand more and that's it, he'd scanned platinum then instead of shipping it now but it really ain't that much of a difference at the end of the day, Will got the respect he wanted, kept his integrity and got a platinum plaque, sure it's sad that we didn't get "Tell Me Why" on the airwaves but you could say Will had success in his 20th year in the rap industry, I could care less what a lot think 'cause they're bandwagon fans but as long as Will does what his heart desires there'll always be people out there that respect him at the end of the day, maybe if we quit complaining and look at the big picture we'll see there's nothing to complain about, I hope that he does a video one day with Mary J. and puts it on a DVD just so I could see it as a fan...
