Bah. The song he did for the first MIB flick was much much better. It just goes to show that sequels are only 60% as good as the original.

i HATE it. :)

Considering he makes hip hop for kids, and doesn't front about it.. it's good for what it is. You won't hear it coming out the windows of my whip, though. I just wish they'd keep the guitar riffs out of it all...

will smith makes hip-hop for far more than kids. he makes it for nice people.

if rockism can apply to hip hop, surely these snidey credibility jibes reek of the stuff? just because he doesn't swear doesn't make him cack

There's nothing wrong with music for nice people. Especially if it bounces.

― Sterling Clover, Thursday, 27 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I never said anything about credibility.. I'm just saying that's how it is. He mostly makes theme songs for his movies, and that's about the level I view it at. Doesn't mean it's cack at all.

I also heard that NaS worked with (did ghost writing for) him on a number of his biggest recent hits.

That song for "Wild Wild West" was about 8 million times better than the actual movie.

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 27 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ouch.
Yeah, Kenneth Brannagh and Will Smith swapping off-color jokes in a completely gentlemanly fashion was the only good scene in that movie.

No way - Kevin Kline as U. S. Grant! (Better than Kevin Kline as midlife crisis/cancer stricken architect/Vader father).

For a minute, I thought custos was talking about the Tennenbaums!

― Sterling Clover, Thursday, 27 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Haven't seem Tennebaums yet. Does Will Smith square off against Brannagh again?
Ding ding...round Two...FITE!

― Lord Custos III, Thursday, 27 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hmmmm. I'm looking through a script for Wild Wild West and can't find that scene. Do you think Brannagh and Smith ad-libbed it?

― Lord Custos III, Thursday, 27 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Spadd out? What? The song is ass, what the hell? Everyone's right about Wild Wild West, that's about the best song in the universe.

Good old DJ Jazzy Jeff. Great DJ back in those early days. Pity he got teamed up with a 2nd grade rapper. Mind you, I DID like "A Nightmare On My Street". Good, youthful naievety.

NB: Chicago radio has been playing a different mix of the new single than the video/"proper" version -- cut-up Nile Rodgers-y guitar, punchy horns, and an actual hook with a harmonic development. At points it seems like the Neptunes getting spazzy and Afro-beaty, and it's a thousand times better than the very, very limp chunky-guitar original.
