Thoughts

Love Will Smith. Inspired to listen to this after his Carpool Karaoke, and really enjoyed it. The pop-rap style is totally up my street, great rhythm in rapping but slightly more palatable subjects than more hardcore rappers. Plus I know all the words to Men in Black, so can end the album in style.

Revisited - Nov 23

Just an update to say, I was a bit surprised at some of the chatter on this album, it’s so very conceited! Although, maybe that isn’t such a surprise considering how obvious it is that Will does think quite a lot of himself. The songs are still brilliant, but it does maybe detract from the whole just a little.

Rating: 4 / 5
