    Good Review: TimesOnline

    Hip-hop

    Will Smith

    Lost and Found (Interscope)

    Three years on from the disappointing Born to Reign, Smith’s decision temp- orarily to put his movie career on hold (THE EYE, March 5) seemed obtuse. But, on the evidence of this album, it was a shrewd move.

    The record is a treat. Even when making significant points — Tell Me Why is about trying to explain September 11 to his son, while Ms Holy Roller includes an impassioned attack on religious fundamentalism — his style is impeccable. Smith is clearly enjoying himself. There is a sense of freedom to this record, as if running his own label means that he can trust his own instincts rather than pander to a marketing department’s perception of his audience ’s expectations.

    His much-touted “dis” of Eminem in Mr Niceguy is really just a two-line aside, but the real attack is found elsewhere. Back to his best as a rapper, and recalling the easygoing wordplay of his teens, Smith revels throughout in clever, cheeky verbiage, and you begin to realise where Mr Mathers got at least some of his shtick from. And, as if to hammer home the point, he still does it all without swearing.

    SOCCER!!!!! My favourite team is Juventus and I hope this year we'll win champions league! but it's difficolt, chelsea is the best team...

    I like Boxe too. I have a lot of tapes of legendary matches, for example Ali vs Frazier I-II-III, Louis vs Marciano, Hagler vs Leonard and so on!!

  17. Best Will Album ever?

    Will said that he was able to say what he wanted on this album so for that this is his best solo album. Maybe if Columbia gave will more creative control on his music he would have had better material.  Columbia is mad at it's self right now and they should be for keeping a rap legend in chains :nono:

    couldnt agree with you anymore :ditto: :werd:

    They did a decent job with "Big Willie Style" but once 1999 rolled around, everything looked like "Willenium" was gonna be over the top, and it sold good 2 mill in its first day!! but after that, it all stalled. "Freakin It" was a crapass single to be released. If anything "The Rain" or "So Fresh" would've done a better job with Will's status as a rapper in the game. "Freakin It" was too soft thanks to the Trackmasterz production even tho Will's lyrics were damn good. Columbia then didn't even give "Born to Reign" any room to breathe. How it went gold I have no clue. "How Da Beat Goes" should've been a lead single or at least the 2nd single. That song was the potential hot chart topping single. Followed by "Give Me Tonite" and "Act Like You Know".

    I saw the em message board in italy and I found a lot of eminem's fans that respect totally Will as Rapper. They discussed bout he is a legend in hip hop, his partner jazzy and new album... They said new album is better than encore and it's incredible hearing that by a fan of eminem!!!! they liked mr nice guy, tell me why and I wish I made that.... only one bad thing: one a*****e said he used ghostwriters for his albums... but People didn't give a ****.. I'm very happy seeing people like WILL!!! HE'S simply the best :thumb:
