bigted Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html...Jeff&st=nyt Album Of The Week By JON PARELES Published: November 19, 1999 WILL SMITH: ''Willennium'' (Columbia). Will Smith describes himself as hip-hop's ''Mr. Clean'' and challenges other rappers to write just ''one verse without a curse.'' He's sold millions of albums doing just that; in his spare time, he's a sitcom star and a bankable action-movie hero. He has plenty to boast about, and he does, but what saves him from sounding sanctimonious or overbearing is an all-conquering affability. He doesn't claim to be the toughest, the wildest, the most underground or the most innovative rapper, just a clever word-slinger who's delighted and amused by his own success. He and his original partner, D. J. Jazzy Jeff, are the album's executive producers; songs are unashamedly built on recognizable tunes. ''Willennium'' is cheerful, benign and mildly trendy; quick on the uptake, it includes a rap over a Tito Puente mambo. And it doesn't expect a long shelf life; ''Will 2K,'' rhyming about a New Year's Eve party over the Clash's ''Rock the Casbah,'' expires on Jan. 1.

KevTastic Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 He is just flaunting DJ Jazzy Jeff around for the cameras so he don't like some Big Time Hollywood Sell-Out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 U forgetting an album? What about all the losers who ditched him on Born To Reign?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Hero1 Posted May 9, 2008 Admin Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 The problem with a lot of the Willennium reviews is they only focused on the first 5 tracks.. Which pretty much means they didn't listen to the album properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigted Posted May 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Well I was just browsing along the internet and noticed this review, it's kinda unfortunate critics judge Will's rap abilities off his singles but really most of them are idiots who think Lil' Wayne's the greatest rapper alive, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
