They'll straight up bust your........ ********************************* If I remember right Will Smith's music was always feel good music. SOngs or raps that had a positive message. posted by: surrogate (reply) post date: 04.21.08 (7:27 am) I can offer no opinion of value. I remember thinking Vanilla Ice was a joke and I know a smidge about Will Smith's rapping, but that's about it. posted by: PastorDave (reply) post date: 04.21.08 (6:39 pm) I know nothing about rap, well except that I strongly dislike said genre of music. Actually, I have recorded The t-Blog Rap, and it is so bad that even I have been unable to pass it along on this site. Maybe one day, when I am absolutely absent of inspiration. As I remember, one of my kids as a pre-teen like Will Smith. His ears look similar to those of Barak Obama. And, that's not a nice things for me to say. posted by: bawdy (reply) post date: 04.22.08 (11:24 am) You did leave My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion off your top 50 songs from movies of the 90s simply due to a personal dislike for the song, so why the outrage here? Shouldn't you afford the guy who compiled this list the same latitude? posted by: OldSchool (reply) post date: 04.22.08 (12:34 pm) Reply to: bawdy That is a good point, but at least I acknowledged the fact by giving the Titanic song an honorable mention. My list also only reflects my own opinion on the matter. Yahoo published this list as a credible ranking and at no point acknowledged that Will Smith was included due to any personal like or dislike. The basis for his inclusion was simply that he was safe and had a goofy song which became a crossover hit. Some things are a little more subjective than others. I appreciate your comment and you challenging the premise, but I do feel that the 2 situations are different. Thanks! posted by: bawdy (reply) post date: 04.23.08 (12:06 pm) Reply to: OldSchool Fair enough. haha. I do agree it is ludicrous to dismiss Smith's talent even if he doesn't garner the respect of hardcore fans. I think the fact that actors made the list discredits it anyway. posted by: Foo (reply) post date: 05.11.08 (1:27 am) I saw the list recently and I scoffed when I saw Will Smith ranked up there among the worst wrappers. I knew I wasn't the only one who could be thinking the same thing. Great article. |
