Guest lambertj3 Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 (edited) Will Smith Prefers Music Over Acting Answering questions on which he preferred a career in music to that of acting, Will Smith told Reuters, "If the money were the same it would absolutely be music. Music is closest to my heart. As an actor I am more a tool for the director to see his or her vision but as a musician I write what I want to write, I say what I want to say, I create the way I want to create. So it is more about me when I am making the music, absolutely there is nothing like being on stage with music." Watch the highlight clip from the 'I, Robot' UK premiere in London, which included a performance by Smith.

JumpinJack AJ Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Yeah, ever since his comeback in 1997, he's said that. But most people who have never heard him say that don't believe me when i tell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 That's good maybe he can concentrate on music for a while now, then he can return back to acting after a couple of albums! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Hero1 Posted August 10, 2004 Admin Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 yeah we've always known this... will also says his music fans are a lot more different than his movie fans.. cause they know him a lot more personally.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilsJim89 Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 you can no doubt feel Will on his deeper stuff on all his albums. Just gotta look past the singles into the real album, each album is like the current chapter of his life, what hes feeling at the moment, whats on his mind...etc. Its great. In movies, he's just playing a part that the writers created and everything is planned. Fun to watch but it's not the real FP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 One thing i think that is really cool about FP's (and JJ's) fanbase is that there are alot of guys and we are all from different ages and different places all over the world. When u go 2 other rappers' message boards, they tend 2 be mostly from the US or they tend 2 be between the ages of 13 and 18, or they tend 2 be almost all females. I think that shows that his/their music relates 2 us 4 real. While i don't really like Eminem or Jay-Z, i'll relate 2 a lil' bit of their stuff, but i don't feel any heart in their music. When i listen 2 FP's, i can releated 2 pretty much all of it and i can tell when he really put himself in2 a song. FP talks like i talk, he thinks like i think, he feels like i feel...know what i mean. There isn't 2 many other emcees/rappers out there who represent ME!! Can i get a witness?!? :shaketheroom: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Julie Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 yeah AJ, i think this board shows that, we have so many ppl of different age, races and countries. I guess it bcoz every1 can relate to wot jjfp say and not just gangstars from the ghetto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
