Members diehardwill Posted August 28, 2004 Members Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 willennium had that y2k aura about it and it had quite a number of guest apperances unlike bws. bws was old school too, cause almost all the songs were samples. bws fetched will countless awards and popularity. it's an album i cant get worn over from. willennium's good but i think bws will be will's best until we hear the new one. and talking of bws, why hasn't will hooked up with poke and tone, of trackmasters. they really hyped bws up!

TooFresh Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Big Willie Style was my first love, this cd introduced me in the hip hop world...I loved Gettin' jiggy, It's all good, Y'all know, Don't say nothin' and Just Cruisin'...But I have to say Willennium is Will's best Album! It grew slowly in my mind, musically is totally different from BWS, which is more commercial but however excellent! Willennium has a retro style that I prefer. Lyrically Bws and Willennium are perfect, Will rocks the mic..But Willennium has trax like so fresh, pump me up, potnas n no more which u can't find in bws. So... #1 - Willennium #2 - Code Red #3 - Big Willie Style #4 - Homebase #5 - He's the Dj, I'm the rapper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Prince Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Gotta be Willennium for me. I have love for BWS and BtR though, in their own special ways! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Julie Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Willenium but if u took potnas and the rain off that album it would be big willie style if that makes sence. Its just those two songs are probably my favourites, but big willie style definalty has that feel good vibe which i love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Hero1 Posted August 29, 2004 Admin Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 [quote=diehardwill,Aug 28 2004, 11:09 AM]and talking of bws, why hasn't will hooked up with poke and tone, of trackmasters. they really hyped bws up![/quote] because they suck!!!! i was disappointed in big willie style when it came out..coming off code red i was really hyped..but there were quite a few problems with the record... 1. will was rapping in the style of the time, and abandoned his fresh prince rhyme style 2. a lot of traxs were ghostwritten 3. trackmasters production..completely lacked any originality or creativity..simply took classic hits from the 80s..and didnt change the beat at all or add anything... 4. wills content..way 2 many times will got sidetracked with his rhymes and started rapping about how good he is.. example dont say nothin is a diss 2 the haters but then he starts talkin abt his son riding in jet planes and who knew how interesting his life is.. fresh prince was never like that.. 5. no storytelling traxs on the album at all 6. the scratches by jazzy jeff were continually turned down extremely low so you could hardly hear em by the trackmasterz! 7. the skits become very tired after a few listens and you have to skip em all the time... 8. big willie style.. i mean that was the perfect sort of will doin what was out at the time..in 1997 all traxs were like this! and damn that female on the track is annoying! 9. theres not enough serious traxs from will..and showing of real emotion.. u got chasin forever/just the two of us and i loved you.. but thats it! the rest is all flossin! 10. too jiggy..not enough substance.. willennium for me is a hip hop classic.. lookin back on big willie style its prob a lot better than i first though.. but id still rate willennium and the jjfp albums ahead of it....

Members Bender Posted August 29, 2004 Members Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 In my opinion: #1: Willennium #2: Big Willie Style #3: Born To Reign I think Born To Reign is very, very good, but definitively the weakest Will's solo album.

[/quote] Candy is such a nice song. Hes telling a story bout how he wants to get with this girl. Uses alotta candy references which if you look at the structure of it in the lyrics, its pretty clever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrano Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Left Eye annoying¿¡?¡?¿....I think "Big Willie Style" is one of the best tracks on Will´s records. Left Eye was great.The best female rapper in my opinion.I love TLC and I loved Left Eye... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfuqua23 Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 I agree Jim. It is a clever rhyme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooseKnuckles Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 lets face it, without BWS will would be a lot less popular as a rapper, if u can imagine such a thing. 'jiggy' and '2 of us' and all them put him on the map for those new to his music. and now he has a larger, broader audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfuqua23 Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Yeah. BWS did open him back up. Or maybe it was his original fans that helped it out alot. Cuz it was 4 years away. And some new fans probably thought it was a 1st album and were attracted cuz he did movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
