Will Smith appreciation thread

[Capitol]

Obviously he isn't the most amazing rapper to ever touch the mic, but he did have some influence on having hip hop be more accepted by the masses. Whether that is a good or a bad thing is a different subject I'm not going to get into, but the influence is still there. I like how he was just one of the first emcees to not take himself too seriously and try to be a rapping ass rapper and focused on the songwriting and making the songs entertaining. You can see how rappers have been taking that approach more and more lately.

Honestly, if you ever put on his albums they were pretty decent. Just some nice fun loving party type shyt. Code Red, He's The DJ I'm the rapper, and Homebase are great summer time albums. Big Willie Style had gems. I guess it's the cool thing to clown on him or anyone that likes his music, but he was aiiight

He has undeniable classics.

Will Smith and Jada are currently in Ethiopia shooting a movie about the last Ethiopian King to rule Egypt.

Not only is he a dope rapper, he serves as a good role model and always looks out

Will Smith is cool with me but I always saw him as too much of a square. He's always on the good and wholesome tip

Everyone says he's a good role model but ironically I think he ain't really raising his kids right.

Having Willow and Jaden exposed to Hollywood at such a young age is something I don't agree with. They should be living a normal childhood instead of being in movies and music videos. Maybe that's just me but that's how I see it.

This is my favorite Will Smith track. They really flipped the sample well too
