Listened to it yesterday, some great tracks on this one. Love Documents with Nas.

I suppose it's kind of true that it's not that serious. I think that the song is just so disappointing that it kind of feels like the end of the world. With the Rave In The Wasteland being so understeamed and under purchased/under downloaded as a whole, it just doen't seem like this song is going to help give the new music a new life. Nothing from this era is even trending in his Spotify top 10. Will often gets called corny when it's not called for. With this song, it is. When we talk about fun songs from JJ+FP and Will, the music is still good. The lyrics are good. This doesn't compare that. A few lyrics are okay, but quite a few of them are dumb...on purpose. Maybe because the masses are into dumb music. I doubt Jeff is involved with this. When he's done dance and house tracks, the music is sooooo much better than this. I think Will just reacted too quick ot the question in that interview. He'd probably credit Jeff in a more noticeable way if he was. Speaking of which, was is Omar credited? I'm not tryng to be rude, but his vocals are just filler back-ups. With the pervous music releases, the feedback was all pretty good. That's not the case with this.

I agree. I think he's just trying different things and getting some sort of satisfaction out of that. However, if he's trying to please fans, I think he needs to go back to his roots. Hip-hop beats with him rhyming, telling stories, cracking jokes. 99% people don't want a new version of Will. They want the Fresh Prince and Will Smith they know to deliver a similar flavor. The pop audience might spend some money on the music (well, back when people spent money on music), but Hip-Hop is where he's always to be an important figure. And for what it's worth, even though I'm not into the song, I bought it.

The new song is cool and I’m glad Will is having fun with the music again, but I was thinking of something…he constantly talks about wanting to be respected as an artist. He wants his name in the same breath as Dre, Jay, Rakim, LL, Slick Rick, etc…but if he wants that we need some real hip hop. He needs to dig back deep to his roots. We know he’s capable of spitting bars. We need more tracks like Tantrum. These days it’s hard to sell and it’s even harder to get a hit like Jiggy…I feel like that’s kinda what he’s shooting for with a summer anthem like this but at the end of the day he has a chance to really do something to cement his name in hip hop. Not that that isn’t already in stone, but to really show out and prove himself in a rap game that’s currently lacking. You look at Nas, LL, Dre, Snoop…these old heads are still spittin and still getting respect. I really hope these next 2 seasons have some real stuff. Just my two cents. If this is what he wants and he’s just having fun then I support it.

I can see why y’all are hating on this song, but I’m enjoying it just fine…. It’s not serious, doesn’t need to be. I can imagine why it’s awkward for a 50+ year old man to be singing “I like pretty girls” but I guess I’m just not putting to much thought into it, it’s just pop.

I don’t mind Will doing fun songs, I actually think it’s a good idea. But compare Getting Jiggy Wit It to this. There’s just no comparison. How bad Wills raps are is really disappointing. I feel like the stuff when he was going to make his comeback maybe 6 years ago was way better.

Yeah, maybe. But I just don't see the point of saying someone is on a song when the person actually isn't

It’s gonna be on itv on Sunday 22nd at 5.30pm if anyone in the UK is interested. Gotta wait a bit

Looking forward to that Wembley show! Him and Jeff together will be fire. I bet Jeff’s involvement will make the newer songs sound even better.

Ok I’m gonna lighten it up with a bit of positivity in here. It’s certainly far from my favourite of the new tracks but I don’t hate it like you guys. ok so it’s a bit corny and it does leave Will open to be made fun of. But what’s new there, he’s been made fun of since 1988. The lyrics aren’t great, however, not every song needs to be deep. I like the beat, it’s fun, silly and catchy. The video is a bit like his fresh Prince days. The song reminds me of”my humps” by the black eyed peas. People said it was cheesy but people loved it. On another positive note. Will and Jeff are playing Wembley this Sunday with capital fm, it’s one of the biggest radio stations in the UK. They played the song this morning for millions of listeners. I would have preferred one of his better songs but telling so many people he has an album out might get some more fans aware of BOATS.

I think he was just being polite. JJ isn't in the credits and he hasn't specifically mentioned it on instagram outside of commenting fire emojis as he does on almost all of Will's new music.

This is gonna be my summer song this year. It sounds great in the car.

I think this was inspired by Coolio's I like Girls, the line where Will swears is very similar to Coolio's

lol alrighty then, I was just talking about the all caps and 00034 on the end. I legit thought it was a bot account that's all. But go off on my pornified perverted brain I guess?

You’re not really stating facts, you’re stating your opinion which is fine. I’m not gonna get into an argument about our different opinions, everyone is entitled to their own. Let’s get back on topic.

What negatitivity? I see no argument refuting what I said because everybody knows it's true, all I see is "you're being a jerk (when I'm clearly not)" or "you are putting out the wrong vibe".... I'm not worry about pleasing anybody with my opinion, I'm just stating FACTS and what I've been feeling as a long time Will Smith fan, this crappy song was just the tip of the iceberg. I'm not a new member by the way, it's just a new username because I couldn't access my old one.

You do come off hard with the negativity man. It’s always great to see new members join this board but when your first posts are like this it sends out the wrong vibe, you know? I respect your opinion, this song is not for everyone. I think it’s okay. He has done worse songs in my humble opinion. “I Can’t Stop”, “Willow Is A Player” and “First Love” come to mind. I guess he’s just having fun and doing his own thing. It just sucks for us, real hip hop heads, that he isn’t making the songs we would like him to do. I enjoyed his last album when it dropped but I don’t listen to a lot. We need Jeff to be more involved with the music and the tour. He makes the best songs when Jeff is involved!

And I'm the one being a jerk? Haha. I have the right to create a new account, don't you think??. It doesn't concern you if I am a fan or not. And by the way, the username comes from Ana Leon Fernandez (my mom's name and email), sad to see that your pornified brain went the nasty perverted way....

Will confirms twice in this interview that Jeff is on this 'Pretty Girls' song. Minutes 1:08 and 2:53 of the video: https://youtu.be/MCImQtaOZ2I?si=iEjambC42v72ZqCT

Well what do I know, maybe I’m just out of touch but I just don’t think it’s that serious. If you didn’t enjoy Rave in the Wasteland then that’s another story and I can understand wanting to step away and not listen anymore but I personally loved it and this new summer song doesn’t have any bearing on it for me. I’m happy he’s still willing to release goofy songs like back in the JJFP days. If I were you and you have the means I would still check out the tour though, I would do anything to be able to attend but sadly he isn’t coming anywhere near my area. btw he’s performing with Jazzy Jeff on Sunday so I’m sure that show will be incredible.

I struggled very hard when i heard the song for the first time this morning. The first verse was kinda funny with the full house reference. I thought it was a nice word play. Then it got simpler and cornier with each new line. I cringed very hard on the vanilla chocolate part. I saw the video a few moments ago and in conjunction with the visuals it was more entertaining. But from an MC/lyricist point of few, its pure garbage and embarassing. He's literally proofing the world he cant write rhymes without any help. Or that he's just lazy with the pen, i dont know. I havent bought tickets to his concert yet, and i think its better invested in other events. For me it ended with Lost&Found and i really cant support whatever he's trying to do with his music or his career in general at all. I have also listened to LL's "The Force" album this morning and theres really no comparison. LL is on another level regarding lyricism, energy and production quality. Songs like this will probably generate some clicks and likes commercially, but he's putting his reputation as an MC (if he still got one) on the line with trash like that. PS: I agree with ANALF00034. I dont think he's pathetic, but i have also lost a lot of respect for Will. First he buried The Fresh Prince, then Big Willie and now he's on a egocentric, self absorbed path giving zero f's about anything. The result is **** music like this that probably only like his crew, family and friends.

If you aren’t a fan anymore why create a new account and spend your time to come here and hate on a guys personal life? do you really have nothing better to do? If you aren’t a fan anymore that’s totally fine and you’re right, but it just seems like a waste of yours and everyone’s time. also why in the world would you create a new account and call it analf00034?

Will Smith says 'acting took over my music career' as he returns with summer bop 'Pretty Girls' Video: https://www.capitalfm.com/news/will-smith-acting-music-career/

For me the worst thing about this song is that it's so damn boring
