MaxFly Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Personally, this is one of my all-time favorites... top 10. The scratching at the beginning was the first thing to hook me. I used to walk to the bus stop for school and just play the beginning of the track the whole way. It got too the point that I burned a goove in that part of the CD... and it stopped working after awile. The part that really use to have me skipping back was when the beat kicked in during the scratching with what I used to call "The Bell." I'd sometimes play it just to hear the beak kick in... And then I got to the lyrics... From the very beginning Take your place, allow me to felx a taste It was over... Almost every lyric, every word was and still is fire... I know ya'll still feel me Really don't act silly Thought I fell off just because I left Philly Took a break from the rap thing Went on hiatus Picked up the art of acting and multiplied paper... No, rapper has ever expressed the crossover from rapping to acting better than that. ----- Jealosy swinging on me made it's attack 'He's soft. He's wack, man that ain't real rap.' You believe that! It hurt me at first, but it's cool Took the insults Fed them to my ego, used it for fuel I think that's the main theme of the song right there. Without saying anything more... that's what makes the track one of my favorites... There's obviously a lot more to say, but what are your thoughts on the track?

Da Brakes Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Don't say nothin is one of the reasons why BWS is my fav Will Smith Album! The track is one of the best i've heard by a rapper just saying 'look, t his is who I am, deal with it!' i absolutely love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilsJim89 Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 It's "Don't Say Nothin' - no G lol.. but anyway yeah its def. a hot track. One of Wills best no doubt. I love when FP does tracks like this. Just straight up attacks the haters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigted Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 :iagree: It's one of the best tracks aimed at haters that any mc has ever done, this displays Will's skills as an all-time great lyricist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny 5 Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Dope track, probably could have fitted on L&F well. Funnily enough, I was listening to it about 10 minutes ago in the shower. Jeff and Will were dope on this track... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
