Members biggame1190 Posted August 19, 2011 Members Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Give me your top 5 underrated Will Smith songs. Stcricly from his Solo career I may add. Give me your top 5 underrated Big Will tracks that normal hip hop fans would probably not even know. I will start with my top 5 underrated (in no particular order) "I Loved You" - Big Willie Style "Chosen One" - Lost and Found (Japanese version) "Could You Love Me" - Lost and Found "How the Beat Goes On" - Born To Reign "Dont Say Nothing" - Big Willie Style He Really has alot of underrated tracks because Will goes pretty much under the radar in Hip hop for reasons I can not explain.

DevilsJim89 Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Wow man, welcome to the board. That's a respectable top 5 list. Hopefully you've checked out Will's prior 5 albums with Jeff. 1. Party Starter (Radio Edit) - It just has some extra touches to it. The song is a banger but is probably one of Will's most lyrical tracks ever. Listen to the lyrics, he subliminally spits the truth about today's rap. 2. The Rain - A smooth and soulful track. Jill Scott with the hook and Jeff on the production, it's another great lyrical song. 3. Yes Yes Y'all ft. Camp Lo - I'm in love with the Isley Brothers sample. 4. I Loved You - Very underrated track off Big Willie Style. The beat bangs real hard and you can feel the emotion in his voice/flow. 5. Give Me Tonite - Just a real cool track.

Great to be here. Yes of course I have! Im a big fan of Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince as well, hell even Ready Rock lol. Good list, although I would not count Party Starter as "underrated" because it was being played on the radio and had a music video. But what ever, thanks for for the welcome!

Typhoon20 Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) - Jeff was on the beat box (one of my all-time fav tracks) - Numero Uno - Jazzy's Groove (Jazzzyyyyyy) - Pump up the bass - Taking it to the top - Somethin' like dis (such a great track) Ohhh just solo ? Sorry didn't read that part. - I can't stop (such a great song) - Candy (3rd verse is one of the sickest lyrics of all-time) - Da Butta - Who Am I - Afro Angel - No More - Willow is a player (sick beat) - Potnas And many many more....

Big Ben Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Can there really be any "Underrated" tracks on an album that went 9x Platinum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopDawg14 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Chosen One The Rain Afro Angel Uuhhh Block Party Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxFly Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Oh, this is easy... 1: I Loved You - Big Willie Style (top 3 favorite track of all time) 2: Who Am I? - Willenium (Love the beat, love the collabo with Tatiana and MC Lyte) 3: Don't Say Nothing - Big Willie Style (self explanatory... nothing more needs to be said here... he shuts it down) 4: I Can't Stop - Born to Reign (been listening to this for a few days now... love the energy and the rhyme scheme) 5: Scary Story - Lost and Found ("got goblins in it, haters and witches") Incidentally, the way the beat drops in Scary Story is so sick. Take a listen... Just stop and listen... There have been several times that I just can't get past the beginning. Bonus: Born to Reign - Born to Reign (This track goes ridiculously hard. Too many quotables... too too many) And a bonus bonus: Wave 'em Off - Lost and Found The whole world love me cause I do what I do And I don't like the energy coming from you Trying to play me soft? Wave 'em off.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
