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

You're being a bit of a jerk here. We want to keep a standard higher than what you'll find on social media.

Maybe there's too much sensibility going on here. You can remove me if you want, that doesn't change the facts. I have not disrespected anyone here...

It's out. I'm only a few songs in, but I'm loving it.

It's one thing to share an opinion. It's another to come here and act like a jerk toward other board members. You can be removed, if that's your agenda.

Not random bots. I've been a fan since Big Willie Style. Just couldn't recover my account and created a new one. It's not hate, it's just facts, as hard as they are to accept! Ask yourself, why would there be an "anti Will agenda", that makes no sense whatsoever. The reality is Will Smith USED to be one of the most beloved entertainers in THE WORLD and now nobody can't stand him or his messed up life. Deal with it!

I'm not gonna lie. I'm struggling with it. I knew I would when I first saw the teaser. Those opening notes told me I wasn't going to love the sound. When the beat drops in, it's not so bad, but it sounds like something from the 2010's... a low point for music, generally speaking. If he was going to do a house-inspired song, maybe have Jeff and Masters At Work get on the beat. There are a few Fresh Prince style lyrics here, but some of this lyrics are quite dumb, which prevents them for making up for the beat. There is an audience for this, but it's not for me. The music video continues the struggle. There are some fun moments in it, but it's also a bit hard to swallow. As I type this, I'm realizing my own hypocrisy. One of the things about Rave In The Wasteland that has had me listening to it less than I have his other albums, or at least skipping through it more, is that so much of it serious. There's a time and place for that, but I'm not always in a serious mood. "Pretty Girls" provides a contrast. Maybe just not the contrast I prefer. I'm also still struggling with some of the language. Like, why drop the f word in a song like this? At this point, he's just doing it as carelessly as other rappers. Why a music video for this? I feel like if he did a video for "Hard Times (Smile)", it would have been a better investment and generally loved. This song is polarizing, as seen in the comments everywhere. As few music videos as we get, I kind of hate that it was wasted on this song. As for these weird posts, I don't know. They've been happening for months. The ones that are clearly spam get deleted, but the ones that are weird, but possibly made by real people have stayed. As one of the moderators, I struggle with whether they are bots and should be deleted/banned.
