I've always loved his more forceful verses (I'm Comin', Born to Reign), so it's great to see him embracing this. This series of albums backed up with a world tour is news that I didn't see coming. What amazes me most, though, is logging in after all these years to see such familiar usernames reappearing on these threads - people I remember from when I first began visiting this community in 2001. A lot has changed since then, yet this place still feels much the same. Fantastic. It's great to see the likes of fan 4ever (and that his interests are still "hip-hop, tennis, and my girl"), now where are 3cookies, enjoy_summertime, and the rest of the BBS crew!

I mostly likely it, but I'm slightly mixed. The photography seems very classic Fresh Prince, even though the subject matter and tone of this album will be different. It makes me wonder if it'll be a little ill-fitting. It also gives off 2000's vibes, which is cool, but again, does it complement the music that he's strived so hard to make more modern? I kind of wish "Will Smith" was spelled out instead of just "WS". It reminds me of lost & found. since that was such a defining album for me, I’m cool with it. I see what you’re saying about the vibe not matching though. I do think this fits with “bulletproof” so hopefully the other songs we haven’t heard yet are in the same vein.

I woke up in the middle of the night and saw the footage in the booth. I love those lyrics. I like the beat he chose, too, but I'd really love to hear those raps over a mid-90's New York beat. eagle1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Simon Berglind Posted March 20 Members Report Share Posted March 20 Not heard a word of any music he's done after the ****e reggae stuff a few years ago. Not going to hear anything until the album drops either... probably going to get a bit of a shock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Julie Posted Sunday at 05:15 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 05:15 PM So excited for this album, love you can make it, work of art, bulletproof and beautiful scars. I’m not as much of a fan of first love but we can’t have it all. Just 5 days to go, we’ve been waiting a long time for this moment. I’m also hoping for a physical CD. It just won’t feel right if this album doesn’t sit on the shelf with the rest of them. eagle1 and JumpinJack AJ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted Monday at 02:08 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 02:08 PM Agreed. I hate when albums don't get phyiscal releases. Many artists let the physical release come after the digital release. Black Star released CD and vinyl of their second album about two years after they released it digitally. Arrested Developement waited a month or two with their last album. Worse case scenario, maybe he releases all three as a box set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
