I love how the original song on this thread is some dire gloomy glop based on Radiohead but lex likes it because it's willow smith

lol

I was wondering what she was doing recently and apparently she released a free EP two days ago and it's... okay

Jaden and Willow have given what may be my favorite interview of 2014

You mentioned breathing earlier, and it’s also an idea that recurs in your songs.

WILLOW: Breathing is meditation; life is a meditation. You have to breathe in order to live, so breathing is how you get in touch with the sacred space of your heart.

JADEN: When babies are born, their soft spots bump: It has, like, a heartbeat in it. That’s because energy is coming through their body, up and down.

WILLOW: Prana energy.

JADEN: It’s prana energy because they still breathe through their stomach. They remember. Babies remember.

WILLOW: When they’re in the stomach, they’re so aware, putting all their bones together, putting all their ligaments together. But they’re shocked by this harsh world.

JADEN: By the chemicals and things, and then slowly…

WILLOW: As they grow up, they start losing.

JADEN: You know, they become just like us.

interview should've been conducted via twitter imo

I can only handle a sentence or two of this at a time

pound for pound the best celebrities in america right now

also their sibling bond is inspiring

this is awesome

What are some of the themes that recur in your work?

JADEN: The P.C.H. being one of them; the melancholiness of the ocean; the melancholiness of everything else.

WILLOW: And the feeling of being like, this is a fragment of a holographic reality that a higher consciousness made.

JADEN: [bursts into laughter] As soon as me and Willow started releasing music, that’s one thing that the whole world took away is, okay, they unlocked another step of honesty. If these guys can be honest about everything, then we can be more honest.

I don't even know what "honesty" means in this context

pranasty

okay lmfao at Jaden: "I still haven’t been to driver’s ed because if everybody I know has been in an accident, I can’t see how driver’s ed is really helping them out."

this is awesome

they sound like horrible people. alternatively, the level of stupidity that has been pumped into their minds reaches child-abuse levels.

"the melancholiness of the ocean; the melancholiness of everything else"

this sounds like a Borges line

or a bush album title

also, holy redundant suffix

Worst celebrity family ever

Amateurist otm shit is not funny

it's weird that their father got rich and famous by being funny and charismatic and then raised his kids to be these somber little pod people

This shit is hilarious, come on

Stupid fabulously rich people are depressing

more classic than dud

Willow’s “3″ is available now on iTunes. Jaden’s “Cool Tapes Vol. 2″ will be available beginning at 12 a.m. with the download of his new app called Jaden Experience.

These awful people, they rule us

yes these two black teenagers are perfect symbols of the american ruling class

i thought the interview was awesome, i think theyre awesome, i never want to read or listen to anything they make

I was referring to the entire family

Just the idea of inheriting cultural space like they have is gross

yes, listen to "rock the house" and then read this interview. will smith has traveled a long road.

lamp, what is your definition of "awesome"? that is not a leading remark.

in this context? idk something like inspiring feelings of admiration and/or disbelief

partly i just... i cannot imagine being interviewed by the new york times (even the new york times magazine) and saying... any of the things that they said. even if its just meaningless art skool drivel it feels admirably loopy and its also just really funny. also jaden otm when says not very much current music is cool

Just the idea of inheriting cultural space like they have is gross

I'm always confused when people single out one of the lone black legacy families in Hollywood as where they want to feel gross about occupation of undue cultural space.

Also in the spirit of the thread, something of her actual music I guess:

I'm not

b/c it's a thread about the smiths? because complain about dynasties of all kinds, all the time.

PEOPLE complain, i meant to write

and the smiths are horrible crypto-scientologists with creepily entitled children?

i mean, racism is everywhere, but it's not like we need another reason to find the smiths kind of alarming, along with other celebrity scientologist families who make vanity films/records

The Smiths are the least alarming Scientologists out there!

i'm not sure about it, but even if it were true that's sort of like saying "nuclear proliferation is the least likely of these ten imminent threats to human civilization!"

it's very possible i'm missing out on most of the places where "people" (who? where?) routinely complain about black celebrity dynasties and avoid complaining about their white counterparts.

sorry i got in a dizzy, i just hate the oblique hand-waving sort of thing that greer is doing up there.

dizzy tizzy

feel like in the time of #gamergate ppl have to say some pretty dire stuff for me to find it all that terrible. teenagers pretentiously talking about how school sucks and they like driving around listening to music is just kinda... idk even if you dont think its funny its hardly something to object so strenuously too imo
