Obviously how good the song is matters too.
But so much of the rap game, especially lyrically, is a dick measuring contest.
Because of that, I always get a kick out of Will Smith getting back in the booth.
Which in comparison to the average person, is usually pretty impressive.
The Will Smith rap that went viral last night was solid.
But the one he randomly dropped 6 years ago…
I thought that was great.
Sometimes people forget that.
The saga that of course culminated in Will Smith slapping Chris Rock on stage at the Oscar’s.
Will Smith was kind of a running joke there for a minute.
His reputation still hasn’t, and will probably never fully recover from the Chris Rock slapping incident.
But he’s still a talented dude.
It’s probably a mixture of both.
But for the first time in 20 years, Will Smith is dropping a new rap album.
I’m not sure what exactly what to expect from it.
Good to see DJ Jazzy Jeff is still alive and kickin'.
I really liked the rap Will Smith dropped out of nowhere 6 years ago.
The one that went viral last night was pretty solid as well.
I’m assuming his album will feature songs of that ilk.
But I want Will Smith’s album to be good.
I would like to be able to say, “Damn.. Will Smith has still got it.
He’s got more talent in his pinky finger than all these new-age rappers combined.”
It’s time for society to build Will Smith back up.
Sure, why not.
I think he’s got it in him.
He must have enough money/sense to verify the rap album he’s dropping doesn’t completely suck.
That’s the formula.
If he does that he’ll probably perform at the Super Bowl next year.
