  3. Great review of the album! Just one correction in this. You mentioned that he had played “attention” off of his phone in another part of that twitch stream, but that’s not actually accurate. He played “bulletproof” off of his phone on the stream, but before that he chose a beat out of a pool of 15 or so, and then went into the booth and rapped “attention” over it. He ended up doing it twice all the way through, with a few other attempts that the streamer bungled in between. But when they were playing it back in the other room they were just playing back the recording that they had just made in the booth.

  6. That “freestyle” is good! He needs to put stuff like this on the next album.

  7. As if Will is coming out with the best stuff of his career at age 56. He’s got more charisma in this than every modern rapper put together. As a fan, we know he’s awesome but this even has me shocked how good it is.

  8. Barbershop is great, that feels like old school jjfp and I’m here for it. The entire album hits for me, for sure. But Rave in the Wasteland is my current favorite, it just takes me over when it comes on.

  10. Man it’s been 20 years but I was looking to find your review of the album. For real. Very much aligned with your thoughts. The cursing is my biggest issue - some ordering too of songs but I’m coming around to it as a total piece (rather than the sum of its parts).

  11. I'd be repeating pretty much what everyone has already said here but the album is awesome. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the swearing but that's not a deal breaker for me. Hearing the F bomb on a Will Smith album feels weird to me. I'll need more time with the album and I may be jumping the gun here but this might be in his top 3 best albums.

  12. Man, I am absolutely loving this album!!!! I love the barbershop, absolutely mesmerized by it. Rave in the wasteland has got me, hard. I love the sermons, his style on those are outstanding. I’m loving all the different styles he’s rapping in, his flow is fantastic. The hard times disco rap vibes so smooth, love it. His message resonated with me in a major way, more than anything since code red. Love the guitar on First Love. The fresh feel of Make it Look Easy. This is feeling very much like my favorite solo album, and second favorite after Code Red. This album is way better than I was expecting. So much better. Fire, just absolutely fire. Beginning to end.

  13. One thing I find funny about the reverand interludes is Will doing an old man voice when he is old now On the Reverand in And in this Corner it was much more of a shift in his voice!
