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’m honestly not so sure he cares about that anymore. At least that’s the vibe I get from his interviews. He’s releasing the music for himself, not to please the fans or to try and cement his legacy. He’s just saying what he wants to say, and honestly I’m happy that includes some silly songs like this.

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.
This is spot on for me. I’m honestly surprised how many people are so negative on this considering how he used to release goofy music with JJ all the time. And no I don’t think all of those were great either, some were downright absurd like “she bit me”. But they don’t all need to be serious or deep. I think this one is fun and I honestly haven’t been seeing any more negatively in the comments than any of his other releases.

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.
I dunno I’d take this over “get lit” any damn day of the week.

I've even had a friend who's not particularly a Will fan message me saying, "Will's new track is a banger!" I don't think that's happened since Switch!
It might not be what we were hoping for or expected but maybe this gets more people listening to Will's new music, which can only be a good thing!
All I know is, I got to see Will live this week in London, he signed my Willennium vinyl, I'm seeing him again in August and he's consistently releasing new music.
So I'm not going to take this for granted. In 10 years, Will will be in his mid 60s and none of this will be happening. I'm just going to enjoy that he's still making music while I can!
Don’t listen to the haters man, I’m with you. So far I’ve also seen positive feedback about it. Been waiting so long for Will to get back into music, and I was hoping he would also release some fun tracks. I also like this better than “first love” and maybe even “beautiful scars”

The song sucks, everybody knows it, it's trash. The music video is even being called a humiliation ritual in the comments and by "content creators and influencers".
Let's hope is just this song and that Will can go back to making great music with my man Jazzy Jeff.
Ridiculous comment

Yeah, maybe. But I just don't see the point of saying someone is on a song when the person actually isn't
I just thought she was more talking about the album, but slipped up and will didn’t want to embarrass her. But I’d be happy to be wrong (as I’m one of the few who really enjoys the song)

Will confirms twice in this interview that Jeff is on this 'Pretty Girls' song.
Minutes 1:08 and 2:53 of the video:
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.

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....
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?

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.

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...
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?

Love this track!!! A Summertime banger!
-
Love that he did this performance, and man "pretty girls" sounds great. Can't wait to hear it tonight.

Still seems so surreal that this is happening. To get a new single (with a video) so soon after an album is ridiculous. Now I just need a concert somewhere that doesn't require me to fly for an insane amount of $$$ and I'll be set.

No rapper (bar Em) is gonna have a massive chart hit in their 50s. Maybe is Jay-Z dropped something.
It's just how it is. Honestly charting high now doesn't matter, and shouldn't matter to him.
The tours on the other hand are selling well, that's the bread and butter now.
I just really hope he continues w the other 2 albums and continues to tour. I just need 1 damn show that is drivable from Toronto, ON

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

Found a way to log back in to my original account and so fun to see everyone hyped. I have to say, I can’t stop playing the intro barbershop - straight up I think I can beat Mike Tyson vibes. Been giving the whole record a couple plays so far. Definitely have three or four favs and trying to get a handle on the rest.
Welcome back!! Barbershop definitely feels like Mike Tyson. Never thought we’d get another track like that. Will even brought back his old man voice!

Man I can’t believe we finally got here. 20 years to the day (almost) since Lost & Found was released.
I was always going to love this album, no doubt, but it has completely surpassed my expectations. All of the new tracks (that we hadn’t fully heard yet) are incredible. Int. barbershop is classic JJFP with a modern self aware spin that completely blew me away.
you lookin for me is incredible too. An interesting mix of old and new. It goes hard.
Rave in the wasteland was completely unexpected. Very different feel, reminds of that short clip Will released years ago.(where he mentioned King Kong) has a “black skinhead” vibe mixed with Will singing, Listening to this track was the moment I knew this album was a certified banger.
Bulletproof is possibly my fav track on the album, feels like it deserves to be a hit track too. Bringing soul, rock, and rap in a way only Will can.
Hard Times (Smile) is great too. I have a big soft spot for upbeat fun Will songs like this. I wasn’t sure at first, but when the beat hits off the top I knew I was in. Nice to hear will feeling positive again. I like teyana’s vocals too.
Make it look easy is a contender for my favourite track as well. Another upbeat positive song where Will is exuding confidence. Can’t imagine listening to this and not smiling. Love the hook too.
Not one of the new tracks was a miss for me. I really enjoyed hearing the tracks we have already gotten all together in one cohesive package. The interludes were great too. Just makes it all fit together nicely. It will be a lot of fun to listen to all 3 of these albums together when it’s all said and done.
out of the tracks we already had, You Can Make It and Tantrum are my favourite. Both are fantastic for completely different reasons.
I really like beautiful scars and work of art as well, but I prefer all of the new tracks that were released with the album. I’m surprised they were released ahead of these.
as many others seem to agree, first love is the weakest track for me. I still like it and it’s certainly growing on me. But it’s not a slam dunk like the rest are for me. I think I actually prefer team tomodachi over it. Certainly falls in a similar vein as fiesta & esta rico. I love will’s moments, but the rest is hard to vibe with.
we’ve certainly come a long way from “get lit” FP is back imo. Couldn’t be more excited for what’s to come and to finally see Will (and hopefully Jeff) perform live.

Thanks!! I just did the same and was about to post it here lol.
That performance was legendary. JJ scratching again was so fun to watch. I really love seeing them perform again, I hope they can continue to link up for more shows.
I’ve clearly been a “pretty girls” defender on here but I loved it live. JJFP Forever!
