Members Ataraxia Posted June 11, 2009 Members Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 (edited) I'm thinking mainly of his solo work here, but feel free to throw some JJFP tracks in. How about, 'Y'all Know'? Some Fantastic lyrics: "Im back attackin the mic Hype like a viking Strikin like a python Blaze like jon A hip-hop icon, mc radical Back on track from my rap/act sabatacle Nine-point-six on the richter Kicked her, hands so slickta Chicks quickta flip tha Bright glance and the tight pants For the slight chance, big willie can we get one dance?" Same with 'Yes, Yes, Y'all': "Parades and accolades all shades and ages Me the outrageous My zeal contagious The smile inspirator Aspen to Grenada One of the only emcees to say cheese with Schwarzenegger." And 'I Loved You'- one of Will Smith's deeper tracks. You can just here his emotion kicking in towards the end. Classic.

Da Brakes Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 For me Yes Yes Y'all is my favourite Will Smith Track! Sooooo smooth! Love the beats and lyrics!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant1 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 2 of my fav Will tracks is The Rain and Block Party both of those songs should've been made into videos.. just awesome tracks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Y'all named some great songs there, "I Loved You" is such a deep song, "Y'all Know" and "Yes Yes Y'all" got such incredible lyricism, "The Rain" has such real lyrics just like "Tell Me Why", I really like "Afro Angel" too which tells inspiring stories, "Block Party" is a summer anthem, and lately I've been playing "Nothin' On My Mind" a lot, it's such a cool song to groove to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bart5 Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) haha you could say the whole BWS album isn't talked about too much except around here, the whole feeling of it is timeless. Perfectly described where he was at in his life. No More is one of my faves, soo deeep. The Rain will always be a fav too. Damn its crazy, I've always loved his whole catalog. List goes on and on...wouldn't even be into music if it weren't for him and Jeff, thats why I'll always rep them, no matter what anyone else thinks of their music.

(This is a rhetorical question, by the way). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ale Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 haha you could say the whole BWS album isn't talked about too much except around here, the whole feeling of it is timeless. Perfectly described where he was at in his life. So true. And despite that, it's still my favorite WS Solo Album. I'd add 'Candy'. Love that song :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Simon Lerkot Berglind Posted June 12, 2009 Members Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Yeah the thing with BWS is that it had so many monster hits, that the other songs kind of fell into the shadows of the darkness (new lerkotian expression). I like Afro Angel from Willennium as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIsqo Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Yes yes Y'all of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romano338 Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 (edited) I like almost all the WS songs (I don't want to say 100%, because maybe I'm forgetting one !), so there is a lot of songs I like nobody talk about (except here, of course !)! For example : Y'all Know Chasing Forever Candy Yes Yes Y'all Willow Is A Player How The Beat Goes On Maybe I Gotta Go Home Could You Love Me Scary Story I'm Coming Afro Angel ......

Ale Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 (edited) 'I Gotta Go Home' is probably my favorite song from the 'Born To Reign' album after 'I Can't Stop'. Edited June 13, 2009 by Ale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Julie Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 i love the whole of bws, its such a happy album. I was watching the boom shake the room video yesterday and i forgot how much i like that song. Took me back to my childhood. It was even more successful than summertime back in the 90's.
