fan 4ever Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 Man this video is insane! Really dope stuff! Let’s hope it blows up, but even if it doesn’t the real hip hop heads and Will fans are blessed with this! VIsqo and eagle1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Hero1 Posted July 26 Admin Report Share Posted July 26 Love all the shots of the paparazzi trying to get a piece of Will! Love the dancing in the video! Just a brilliant concept and execution eagle1 and VIsqo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 The look and tone of the music video kind of fit what I envisioned for it. It suites the song well. I actually like interview and live performance aspects of the video. If you want the song, buy it. This is the music video. It's fitting to give it a little something extra. The comments (from what I see) are ALL positive, which is great. We all are BUYING the single, right? VIsqo and eagle1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIsqo Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 I love the song. The video concept is great. But they should have done a different one for the interviews and the breaks. Specially being the first music video of the album. Regardless, dope video and song. I have it on repeat all morning so far. My wife loved it. eagle1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ben Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 I'm always happy when people find their way back to the art that ignites their passion. Good for Will. It's been years since I've been on here. Hope everyone is doing well. VIsqo, eagle1, Ale and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ale Posted July 26 Author Report Share Posted July 26 9 hours ago, eagle1 said: I wish they didn’t break up the song, and instead put the interviews at the end, but I still loved it! I agree. Would've preferred those bits at the end of the video, not in the middle of the song. Nonetheless, love it! Great music video. Suits the song perfectly. Keep them coming, Will!

Ya I really like the concept and execution, and like the interviews, and especially showing off the live performance, but my favourite part of the song is the beat change for Will’s second verse, and with the interviews breaking up the song you kind of lose that a bit. I’m not complaining though, I wasn’t even expecting a video for this song so I’m stoked. VIsqo and Ale 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Smith released the debut single "Work of Art" off of his upcoming album Friday along with its music video. The track features Smith's son Jaden and singer Russ on the vocals with the Grammy-winning rapper reflecting on the different aspects of his personality. "I am Musa, I am Jesus / I am Judas, I am the judge / I am the victim, and I'm the shooter / I'm in the Torah, and the Koran, and in the Bible / I am a shepherd / I am a leader, and a disciple," Smith, 55, smoothly raps. He also alludes to his struggle in the public eye after he slapped comedian Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards. "They tried to censor me / But then they sent for me," he raps in one section, adding in the chorus, "I am a saint, but if you touch, I am a savage." Will Smith returns to musicwith uplifting BET Awards 2024 performance of 'You Can Make It' Throughout the music video, Smith reveals to Russ that he recorded over 20 songs for his upcoming project. "'Work of Art' was the song where I found my voice. It was like 'Ah! That’s what I want to talk about,'" he says as the two become part of a museum display. Smith has been teasing his return to music in the past few months with an appearance during J. Balvin's Coachella set in April, followed by the first live performance of his song "You Can Make It" at the BET Awards in June and a surprise appearance at La Velada Del Año 4 earlier this month. Teasing his fifth album, the "Bad Boys: Ride or Die" star wrote on Instagram on July 12, "The Theme of the music I’ve been working on is 'Dance in your Darkest Moments.' Over the past couple of years I’ve had to learn a different way to be with adversity — a different way to face hard times." The actor's most recent studio album was “Lost and Found,” released in 2005. The album sold a half-million copies and peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
