  3. Lost And Found Review 07/13/2005 7:54 AM, AMG You can't help but respect Will Smith for continuing to make Will Smith albums -- street cred be damned -- and maintaining a semi-frequent release schedule, despite his more lucrative and demanding movie career. More than ever, despite all the hits he has racked up since the late '80s, it seems like Smith is an actor who happens to record every now and then, rather than a rapper who acts or even an actor/rapper. His previous album, 2002's Born to Reign, fell short of gold-level sales by some distance. That disappointment, combined with some blows he has taken from harder rappers and radio personalities, has made him a little bitter. This is one of the factors that makes Lost and Found the least party-oriented album Smith has made, despite a generous supply of the lighthearted, humorous songs you're accustomed to hearing from him. On "I Wish I Made That," he jokes about adopting more of a street persona in order to gain some respect ("Just ig'nant, attackin', actin' rough/I mean, then, will I be black enough?"), knowing full well that he'll always be thought of as, well, Will Smith. Smacks are dealt to a hypocritical (but not hypothetical) born-again Christian, as well as pretty much any larger than life MC riding high on the charts. "Tell Me Why" -- in the vein of Jadakiss' "Why," only far more dramatic, with Mary J. Blige on board to expected good effect -- is the most sobering song he has written, expressing how difficult it can be to explain the ugly aspects of the world to a child. Some of the playful songs are as joyously boisterous and willfully corny as anything in Smith's past, making Lost and Found an entertaining and thoughtful album for young kids and their parents to listen to and talk about. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide
  4. dope track, do you like "Revolving Door"? listening to The Sugarhill Gang - Showdown
  5. I've got it Kev :) AJ probably has it on vinyl, cassette, cd, 10 different remixes, the full works!
  6. good work on all 3 tracks Cata - I'm impressed :)
  7. It's be cool to see Jeff in a cameo role. I dunno how enthusiastic he'd be because in the interview on the jjfp dvd when asked what's next for JJFP, Will says "I say movies" and Jeff is like "yeah... maybe movies", you can almost tell he doesn't wanna do a movie...

  9. I dunno about that! Then She Bit Me is the most randomest song ever, it really doesn't show off their skills as much as I'd like them to if they get honoured!
  10. 167 for me... let us uk'ers know if it gets on...
  11. hope nobody minds - I posted this at Lorettaville...
  12. good work Julie, I would have forgotten if you hadn't made that shoutout...
  13. can you not buy Code Red in Romania cristigolo? Surely there's ebay or amazon or something? Most big record stores should be able to get it in as well...
  14. good stuff, will probably get the mix tape...
  15. why is nobody using the shoutbox anymore, and isn't this topic basically the same as the shoutbox?
  16. Little bit more concentration on music, even 50:50 would be cool. I'd like him to speak out more about stuff he doesn't like, instead of always being "The Nice Guy" in interviews.
  17. enemy of the state? ... and get me a packet of..."
  18. Still, absolutely no mention of JJFP or Will Smith on any of the three shows, although they did play a few seconds of the PJDU video...
