That would have been great. I have a feeling Pretty Girls is the last music track we will get and WIll is gonna go do some movies now.

So great to hear the JJFP crew represented at Wills show in the UK. I just find in general Europe loves the 90s rap they don’t like the new stuff none of that mumble rap or trap rap is popular around the world so all the rap artists from that era still tour heavily in Europe and do sold out shows. It’s a pity America doesn’t respect that era. I saw someone on some dude on Wills Instagram say stop making music grandpa and I was just like damn that’s so sad and no respect is being shown to what Will did as an artists and entertainer.

I have a feeling pretty girls is the last song we will get from Will and that BOATS album will be it. I wish he did a hip hop album with Jeff but they aren’t even touring together anymore so I think the chances are super low.

We haven't got a new song since Pretty Girls.. after the Europe tour WIll is filming a movie so don't like my chances of getting anything new this year.

oh wow this is amazing - great effort man!

The problem is Get Lit basically killed off new singles and the second album being released.

If Will wanted to go viral with his music it’s worked. Unfortunately he’s gone viral because everyone is just making fun of his music and saying how terrible the song is. i feel like he only releases the second album if he rights the ship and releases a good song next. Otherwise the comeback will go out with a whimper on this trash.

I've collated all the videos from the performance here: https://www.jazzyjefffreshprince.com/2025/06/15/will-smith-jazzy-jeff-perform-for-80000-at-wembley-stadium-in-london/

The Capital Radio summerball was one of the best JJFP performances of all time. The 90;000 Wembley crowd doing all the crowd response, Jeff’s scratches back on all the tracks. Just Will and Jeff being together after 40 years; it was really sweet. Give Jeff & Will get their flowers - they are getting older so this may be the last year they perform. Glad they did that! Amazing!

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.

It’s a cynical play for dumb tik tokkers- I don’t mind Will doing some fun rap but this is not it. I mean he is capable of making something like Summertime - this has no substance and just straight bad. I always defend Will but I can’t defend this record.

I think it’s going to backfire - look at the comments on Wills tik Tok - he is being absolutely savaged for how bad this is.

This is seriously one of the worst tracks Will has ever released. What was he thinking? Bad beat, horrible lyrics and horrible concept. I feel like he has killed his musical comeback with this rubbish. Very disappointing. How did no one near him not tell him this song is awful.

I'm hoping it is the first single off the new album.

The only number that matters is streaming stats these days.

Sounds like the second album is gonna have some hard hitting hip hop!

Hey Vipa I like that it is more of a hip hop beat I just don't think it changes up enough for the chorus.

Listen to our thoughts on the album in the latest episode of the Will Smith Podcast:

You are sounding OLD AJ! I have an Apple Music subscription so I'm not going to download anything.

Reviews have started to come in on the new album: Variety: https://variety.com/2025/music/album-reviews/will-smith-based-on-a-true-story-album-review-1236351175/ - they call for a JJFP album in this! Axios: https://www.axios.com/2025/03/28/review-will-smith-based-on-a-true-story-return-rap Clash: https://www.clashmusic.com/reviews/will-smith-based-on-a-true-story/ The Times: https://www.thetimes.com/culture/music/article/will-smith-based-on-a-true-story-review-album-5gcgwt0g7 Screen Rant: https://screenrant.com/will-smith-based-on-a-true-story-album-songs-ranked/ RIFF Magazine: https://riffmagazine.com/album-reviews/will-smith-based-on-a-true-story/ A lot of the reviews are pretty negative.. don't if it's just holdover hating, I think the RIFF magazine one is pretty fair though.

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!

The only music I buy these days is vinyl man. If Will drops the record on vinyl I'll definitely grab it.

The more I listen to the album the more I love Tantrum. That one is pure hip hop. Will & Joyner are spittin’ yup I would absolutely take a Joyner Lucas X Will Smith album or EP. They have chemistry!

I love it but is it really a track? It’s more an intro.

Bulletproof and you looking for me are really great tracks!!
