DevilsJim89 Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 Not sure if this has been posted about but, I was in a music store today and my friend was skimming through the latest Blender magazine and there is a 3 page interview with FP. He discusses the album, how it was like workin with Snoop Dogg (if Snoop got him high :lolsign: ), if he ever hung out with Tupac, and much more. Heres a lil tid bit from their site: .................................. http://www.blender.com/guide/articles.aspx?ID=1604 Dear Superstar: Will Smith The former Fresh Prince and current box-office king is hip-hop’s Mr. Nice guy. At least, that’s what we thought before he answered your questions about throwing punches, watching porn movies and the exact dimensions of his “Big Willie” … By Clark Collis Blender, June 2005 "The idea to come back to music is a long shot at best,” says Will Smith within seconds of entering his suite at Manhattan’s Mandarin Oriental Hotel. “But that’s the kind of shot I hit a lot.” Indeed, you would have received long odds, when a teenage Smith first teamed up with friend and producer Jazzy Jeff, that the gangly, jug-eared rapper from Philly would become a platinum-selling hip-hop star, TV sitcom icon, A-list movie star and husband to big-screen hottie Jada Pinkett. But it’s been three years since the 36-year-old’s last CD, 2002’s Born to Reign, whose poor sales suggested that his fans had transferred their affections to more expletive-happy rappers like Eminem. It’s enough to make a man (in black) angry! Which is exactly how Smith sounds on his new CD, Lost and Found. “Mr. Nice Guy” takes pops at gossipy DJ Wendy Williams and at Eminem himself, who dissed the Fresh Prince on “The Real Slim Shady.” “Like it says on my record, sometimes people mistake nice for soft,” explains Smith. “I don’t think that we need to continue to make that mistake about Will.” Given that the star of Ali could beat the tar out of Blender, it seems reasonable to ask if there are any subjects that might unleash Big Willie’s not-so-nice side. “There’s nothing you could say to offend me, if it’s coming from a truthful place,” he says with a smile. Well, the first question comes from … “That’s bull****!” Smith explodes, before emitting that distinctive baritone-hyena of a laugh. Okay, this should be fun … What was it like working with Snoop Dogg on your new album? Did he try to get you high? j–bro, Tuscaloosa, AL Oh, that’s my man. I’ve known Snoop for, like, 15 years. I just love that line that Snoop is able to walk—that the hardest, roughest gangstas in the world love Snoop and 4-year-old kids in the suburbs love him. Did he try to get me high? You know … I don’t know anything about Snoop’s personal beliefs with that stuff. But no, we had a good time in the studio. Do you ever swear? dj_hersh, Portland, OR Oh, ****, yeah. When was the last time you threw a punch offscreen? bradleyAA, Miami I smacked a dude in LAX a couple of years ago. I haven’t punched anybody because I know how to punch now. And, if I punch someone, I’m gonna hurt them really bad. So I smack now. Because a smack stings. It was a photographer. They do this thing in L.A. where there’s two photographers and one photographer comes over to **** with you and the other one’s across the street and they shoot it. So I made sure they got a good piece of film. I read somewhere that you said you had an open marriage. If that’s true, can I get Jada’s number? grillpower, Lancaster, PA I never said that I had an open marriage. What I said is that our relationship is based on 100% truth. That, no matter what, there’s never going to be something that I would say or do that I wouldn’t tell her first. And then the interviewer said, well, what if you were with Eva Mendes and you wanted to … I said, well, I would say to my wife—if that situation presented itself—I would say, “Honey, I want to sleep with Eva Mendes, is that OK?” And, you know, she’d probably say no. But the point was, how can you expect to be successful in a relationship if you’re not telling your partner the 100% truth? The fact that the interviewer could take that in the direction he took it showed me where he is in his relationship, you know? What was the first show you went to? 33oak3, Elizabeth, NJ I saw Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five at a place called Dance and Skates in Philly. It was like watching a holy person lead a sermon. It just felt like it was so what I needed to be doing. It wasn’t like anything else. It was brand new, out of thin air as far as we were concerned. Is it true that the studio refused to cast a white actress opposite you in Hitch? jane_stables, Hamilton, NJ It was actually the other way around. They didn’t want to cast a black woman. But this is a really good time for black folks in Hollywood in general. I think if we keep pushing right now, next year and the year after can continue along those lines.
