Big Willy is back in his original groove The Fresh Prince proves that fame and fortune haven't buried his roots April 19, 2005 By LORRIE IRBY / The Dallas Morning News All snickering and eye-rolling aside, many of today's rappers have probably used Will Smith's career as a model for their own success. After all, as part of Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, Big Willy from Philly earned the first Grammy for hip-hop. Later, he became the first rapper to be nominated for an Oscar, for Ali. And he was dropping party joints, a hit sitcom and blockbuster films in-between. The wholesome image hasn't exactly amped his street credibility, but his fourth solo CD, Lost and Found, proves that Big Willy can still say something worth hearing on the mike. Thanks to his verbal dexterity, Lost ... has some cuts that can even get the most hardcore of haters nodding along. Will Smith Grade: B- Lost and Found (Interscope) in stores now He tells galloping gossiping jock Wendy Williams to step off "before I buy your radio station and send you home" in "Mr. Niceguy," a humorous dig at all of the high-profile folks using him for target practice. "Ms. Holly Roller" chastises a hypocritical acquaintance using her newfound religion as a weapon, and the title track speaks to his indignation at the lack of respect he's received in hip-hop as of late: "I'm real with it, and I ain't claimin' to reign, but when y'all talk about rap y'all gon' start saying my name." The celebrity cameos even work: Snoop Dogg on the club-ready "Pump Ya Brakes" and Mary J. Blige's croon underlining the genuine pain and rage he channels in "Why," in which he tries to explain atrocities such as 9-11, racism and hatred to his innocent son and actually uses the f-word in the bridge (bleeped out, of course; Big Willy's for the kids). Even with those heavyweights, some tracks are so rudimentary that even Mr. Smith's charm and wit can't save them. For example, the opening track is pure cornball; he brags on himself to the tune of "Spider Man (Theme)," for goodness' sake. And "Loretta," about an obsessed fan who takes her celebrity crush too far, borrows too heavily from Eminem's "Stan" to have any real impact. But don't count Big Willy out; like the heavyweight champ he portrayed on-screen, Lost And Found proves that he still packs plenty of punch.

What would be your ideal jazzy jeff & fresh prince set list? No I'm not just asking you to list your favorite tracks..but what songs would make the livest show? Here are the rules The show would go for 60 minutes So they can perform 15 full tracks You can have medleys which will count as one track but remember they'll only be performing about a minute of those tracks you choose You can also get descriptive and describe the transitions etc, say from a certain point of a song into another. And any crowd call and responses you'd want them to do in between or during songs to add a little flava Everyone post their set lists, and I'm gonna choose the best one and do a radio show out of it.. You can choose any track you want from all jazzy jeff & fresh prince and will smith albums and b-sides! So start creating the livest JJFP concert ever, I wanna see some good responses :thumb: Remember the idea is to choose songs that would have the greatest crowd response and also songs that would impress the audience, and get them involved.

well said mimi.. over time lost and found is gonna be a steady seller..1st of all switch is high in the charts and getting more and more airplay so thats gonna push sales..then when the next single comes out it will go up again.. hes sold 200, 000 in 3 weeks which is good.. now 49 weeks later do you think the album will go gold? i think so.. dont think he has to go gold in abt 6 or 7 weeks..it takes time

Will Smith - Lost and Found (Universal) They don't make stars like Will Smith every day. And he doesn't make albums as good as this one very often, but on Lost and Found Smith nails it. Since he launched his career in the late 1980s, Smith has landed two multi-platinum records, starred on a hit television comedy series and become one of Hollywood's most popular leading men. Thankfully, the other facets of his career don't seep into the mix on this CD. If he was caught posing on the inside cover promoting a new movie that would have been the end of his musical cred. Instead, Smith's got plenty of up-to-date beats from hot producers like Timbaland, Jazzy Jeff and O.Banga. He's got strong cameo spots from the likes of Snoop Dogg, Mary J Blige and Nicole Scherzinger (The Pussycat Dolls) balanced nicely with his own self-deprecating humour. With lead single Switch already a smash hit across the globe there's plenty more where that came from. This could be Smith's biggest seller since he proclaimed that parents just don't understand http://attitude.themercury.news.com.au/cds.htm

Tell Me Why, 2nd single, right decision ?
Hero1 replied to Typhoon20's topic in Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
I think after Switch Will has to show everyone that he is saying something on this album.. if he released another party single it could be 8 or 9 months before anyone realizes how good lost & found is.. hes got the pop/club fans with switch.. now lets release tell me why, and wake up a whole new audience to what Will's saying.. personally I dont think the fact that its a little warmer should have any impact on people feeling this song.. -
my favorite thing in my collection is jazzy jeff & fresh prince performing "I'm Looking for the One(to be with me) Live .. its so good.. jeff and will both on the mic..jeff singing the chorus.. just amazing.. that song is one of my favorites and its like 10 times better live ! :wiggle:
