I particularly like Piano Jazz. And Melodic Punk-Rock. What about everyone else?

Awesome! :)

I consider it a diss. Especially seen as though he followed it up by wearing a Will Smith mask and saying something like "Oh, I toned it down this year, kept it clean for all the fans" at the Grammys. Anyone else remember that? Come on, I know what some people are getting at with the 'diss not being too serious'. It happens in Hip-Hop, but not in this instance.

This is one of the reasons I don't like Eminem. He's a hypocrite. He was in the studio with JJFP previously, and then went and dissed Will on The Real Slim Shady.

Damn. I'm glad Skillz had the balls to stand up and say that. Not many do, in defence of the Prince. Great stuff. Skillz is one of my favourite rappers; and one of the most slept-on too!

Ted, you've been a huge help. Many thanks. I'll post the article up when done :)

I just need like actual web sources, you know?

I'm currently writing an article on Will. Has anyone got any sources, please?

What can I say? I'm English, and lazy, so things come late around here ;) Anyways, here is my review of the film: http://www.andycarrington.co.uk/sevenpounds Leave me comments on-site, please? Thanks.

Man, that format sucks. If they wanna find out the 'Best Rapper Alive' they should just let people vote freely. Not pit rappers against each other in rounds. It's a set up (I mean, 2Pac vs. Piles? Meh).

Some nice topics on there, man. Good work.

I probably know the answer to this question already, but I just wondered what other people think about this? Why is there a distinct lack of interest from other rappers for Will being a guest on other Hip-Hop albums?

Agreed. 'Born To Reign' really grabbed me when I first heard it. I couldn't understand why it was so short.

Thanks, Julie. The topic was referring to Will's albums as a solo artist- not the stuff he did as JJFP (perhaps I didn't make that clear enough?) But anyways... Thanks for your replies, people!

I know it's cliche to say 'Born to Reign', but I'm gonna go with that anyway, 'cause I'd be lying if I said anything different. I think Will had some nice concepts for the album, but the execution wasn't always up to scratch. And then, of course, there's that god-awful Men in Black II single. Urgh. What does everyone else think?

I heard a few rumours when I was growing up listening to Will's music that he used to take part in live battle raps. Apparently, he took on Big Daddy Kane in the final of one of them, and matched him all the way. Can someone clarify this? I searched the web numerous times but am yet to find nothing. I'm intrigued.

I'm glad this didn't get out of hand too much. I have mad respect for both JJFP and The Roots.
