JumpinJack AJ Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Smith Stays Upbeat With 'Lost And Found' If it's something new and fresh you seek in the hip hop genre, look no further. Will Smith has just the thing to put a spring in your step. "Lost and Found," Smith's latest album, is a refreshing change from the expected negative redundancy that seems to be plaguing hip hop artists nationwide. Listeners will be hard pressed to find any bad vibes from Smith on this disc, which is a rarity for those who play the rap game. Instead, we are treated to catchy tunes, such as "If U Can't Dance (Slide)" which easily conjures a grin with lyrics like, "Rule No. 4, out on the floor / don't be doing moves that don't nobody do no more / draw too much attention to be adventurous out on the floor / There's a reason that don't nobody do 'em no more." From time to time, Smith does hop on and off his soap box, addressing religious oppression in "Ms. Holy Roller" or touching on societal issues in "Tell Me Why," including lyrics such as, "Why is the bomb always getting the last word / and why did her uncle have to molest her / and why did all them cops have to be shootin' to kill / and why did all them priests have to act so ill?" But he never stays on long enough to kill the upbeat tone found throughout the album. "Lost and Found" is as charming and entertaining as the Prince himself, and a welcome breath of fresh air.

viber_91 Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 It's allways nice to see a really good review of L&F, but sadly it's quite rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
