  • yo this song's great!

  • "Rap now is a circus of clowns

    A whole lot of lip from cliques I'd probably rap circles around

    Royce Da 5'9" - Boom

    Really great song, but he did steal a line from Royce Da 5'9" (although he adjusted it slightly)

  • Let's talk about the only reason yo a** went to Miami truck with rims LeBron's throwback jerseys, LeBron's champagne bottles, LeBron's lot of models.

  • Will smith is the maaaaaaaaaaaan, he and Jazzy Jeff are Hip-hop legends, they should definitely reunite, honestly the only, well one of the very few rappers out there now thats real is Lupe Fiasco, good thing Lupe had his album a year after Will released this album

  • @flaminprince2 Eminem

  • mad beat i need a instrumental

  • you all know this song is meant to be a diss to eminem?

  • @boeda101 No it's not... lol

    Will Smith escalating beef between them is like the U.S. launching nukes at Russia, we are gonna hit them hard as fuck, but they are gonna hit us hard as fuck right back; so it is better just to keep it cool.

  • He's an actor, rapper, entertainer. Honestly, I've been "entertained" by him 100 times more than any other rapper. So yeah, he has room to talk.

  • hm i canhonestly say will smith is much better than lil wayne and drake.

  • ANOTHER SATANIC ARTIST CLAIM TO SPIT "HIP HOP" & ALSO A FLAMMIN PHAGGOT & A SWINGER...IS THIS A GODLY MAN??? ~KILLUMINATI~

  • why does this have 155,000 views when lil wayne and drake have millions for each song? people are ignorant.

  • Great song so true! Great to hear a rapper that can still flow without cussing or talking about violence or degrading women like u hear 2day! Will is a great rapper hes just as good as any of these other jokers out there 2day! Its a shame he dont get the respect he deserves!

  • "Lost is when you hide behind the freedom of speech

    Well, sure you're free to do it

    But what does it's mean to do it

    Did you mean to do it

    Did you need to do it

    Did you take time to think about the seeds you're brewing"

    Will Smith is probably the only Hip Hop artist I can enjoy.

  • god i love this song!!!!!!!

  • @spikevampslayer : Me 2!

  • does will smith get high?

  • @FableTunes WTH!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?

  • Why should i try to sound like y'all sound that's whats wrong in the game right now

  • make some more will smith!!

  • yeaaa cool bro

  • BEAST

  • most under rated cd ever i promise

  • he speaks the truth a person of wisdom and talent he talk about how rap is wrong and he makes it noticeable to use cuz when we hear rap we just brush it off our sholders and continue but he sing that we should pay attention.

  • I love the intro of this song. All in all a great song and it is nice, that Wii did not just "diss" back... Very unique these days!

  • Almost every rap song is the same thing now always aout money cars and hoes always the same lets get somthing different

  • wow i used to listen to this song 24/7 in the old days

  • here is another cd that went under the radar this cd should have went double platinum this whole cd was hitting, he came hard on here, will is one of the great lyricyst i hope he continues to flow and not give in he loves the art and we love his style WILL if you read this i promise this is the bomb cd and this is one of the best songs and too bad you couldnt keep wendy williams off the air but you did for a few years

  • Will Smith

    Tupac

    and Joe Budden, Unique styles, The styles that all rappers wished to have!

  • @JDProductionz0 Amen man Amen

  • Will. A true immortal legend and icon of the game. A man who never changed himself, who stuck with his own style, didnt give in to the pressure, and spit straight up gold each time.

  • imagine if will were dozg heffernans buddy in king of queens

    thats would be fucking great

    but the original deacon in koq is reat too

  • this song is dissing every rapper trying to be like everyone else, like using auto tune, doing the same type of beats. Will isn't 1 of dem he's a legend and a real MC.

    First ever rap grammy

  • this is quality!!!! 5 * * * * *

  • omg he is so right baout everything he said especially the videos and everyone sounding the same...i always thought this too :D :D:D

    Go Will..Go Will..! :D:D:D:D

  • Man this is great!

  • sik!!

  • ccol

  • LOVE this album.

    Every song has unique lyrics and a gret beat with no swearing. Love it. Real Hip-Hop

  • i just heard him say ass and damn as i read this lol..

    still it is a good album

  • didn't know this much people knew about his newest CD,

    very glad to see other people enjoy great music.

  • I see what he's saying. He likes rapping for the feeling and fo rht emusic, not the fame. I guess that's what made him famous, lol. There aren't many rapper like him, but a few of Eminem's songs do have some meaning.

  • I agree, him and Eminem are my fave rappers.

  • but they hate eachs other xDD

    thats the funny thing

  • nearly every song of eminem has some meaning

    and em is em he sound like him notlike one other

  • This is the first time I ever heard this song. Cool lyrics, and I totally agree with him.

    Most rap (and most popular music) today is shit! Rappers are always "bigging up" (as we say in Jamaica) themselves. Their lyrics are totally empty.

    It's a pity Will stopped rapping. We need more rappers like him and Common (1990s Common preferabely) and Outkast, and all other rappers out there with wicked lyrics, and wicked tunes.

  • @cookiemonster208 Immortal Technique

  • just amazing, great beat, i love it!!

  • GAITASS

  • PERFECT BEAT AND HIP HOP

  • yo will smith spittin that firey truth

  • good song definetly true.!!!

  • we were discussing in my English Class why rap today has no more sense of "dream" in the sense that it has to be about the "hood" or other violence things

    it seems that music today doesnt seem to have a dream anymore, no more meaning full lyrics that can emotionally touch people and give a positive message

    i love this song it has that message and that dream. (in my eyes, or in my eyes :P)

  • @Dai1lest listen to immortal technique. 95% of his songs are politically driven and actually have good lyrical content

  • @Dai1lest exactly man, i know what you mean!

  • @Dai1lest I second that as many times as I need to because this is the best rap song in the world, I have to say that i go around singing these lyrics WHEN EVER i here a crappy rap song, which is mutliple times a day x-( It sucks that no one has brains when they are rappign to think about this song, because he should be singing this to every rapper out there. (ESPECIALLY Eminem)

  • @spikevampslayer eminem is no where near a horrible rapper.. your an idiot for stating that

  • @sxelfer1 he is now that hes sober

  • @sxelfer1 I "stated" that a long time ago. Mind you, i was a person to think for myself and listened to my parents opinions too much. i'll always love this song, but my father introduced the song to me and both my mother and father hated eminem. I wouldn't even listen to him and there for instantly asumed they were right. Since then, I've listen and fallen inlove with Eminem. He's amazing. It just took a hard stage in mylife but dont call me a idiot how much do you really know about me dont?

  • @spikevampslayer sorry the correct term i should have called you was ignorant.

  • @sxelfer1 again. I judged too fast and I'm quick to admit it, but don't go around judging me. I didn't direct that first comment at anyone in particular, but Eminem, which I quickly took back. It wasn't condesending on anyone else's personal opinion, and was one of my own. I corrected what I realized to be rude, now STOP judging me. you know nothing about me. It was my personal opinion, everyone has one and thats what the comments on each video are for. personal opinion only. stop being mean.

  • I'm not ignorant

  • @spikevampslayer you were ignorant when you made that comment obviously. If you didn't listen to him before, the way you did when your first statement was made you were ignorant. You had no knowledge of his music and just used an opinion someone else forced upon you. That my friend is ignorance, then you listened to him and fell in love. Whether you ended up liking him or not at that point making the comment you did would have been an opinion that would be recognizable and acceptable.

  • @sxelfer1 Okay, that's fair enough, but now, I've changed that opinion now, which is beyond ignorant, and even if now it's still ignorant to you, it's my own. and note that even though I said that what you just said was fair in a way, i did say it myself in my first comment towards you, that I KNEW it was a forced opinion and that it had changed. i already said that... i'm beginning to think it's really strange we're arguing over this.

  • @sxelfer1 But might I ask. If you didn't believe this song was definatley directed towards at least one specific artist, or at least true for most artists, would you even be listening to it? you'd think the song was a lie and wouldn't listen too it, in your own opinion, if it wasn't true for you some how right? So who does this song go to in your mind?

  • @Dai1lest Hey. I don't want to come off condescending or a cliche rapper trying to always promote himself, but I'm an artist from Minnesota named "Mike Dreams" and what you described is exactly what I strive to do in my music. I loved this joint by Will Smith, as well as his entire "Lost and Found" album. If you have some free-time, you should check my tunes out at MySpace (Dot) Com/MikeDreamsMusic. Please give me feedback if you do check it out! Thanks a lot. Keep repping good music!

  • @Dai1lest dont forget eminem...he is the only artist today ..still keeping music alive ... he is like the best poet in this generationg ...

  • @Dai1lest my sugestion, listen to Dream on by Aerosmith. its what this relates me to. look on and hope for better artists, people who are more willing to see Will's style and respect and be original them selves.

  • @Dai1lest Listen to rock. Most modern pop and rap is crap. Rock and some country are good.

  • The rap game is like a circus with a buncha clowns! Oh gosh, he's so damn right!!! The song's subject couldn't be more of a hot topic than these days, when lots of rappers try to sing (!) with the aid of autotune effect. They're really acting like clowns!!

  • nobody else (thats actually a good artist) would have bank like will smith. like his 200000000 box office record breaking movies, and such. like the beat alone would make any song good.

    if i could somehow gain enough money to buy that, i could have made a sick song. its all good though, no disrespect to his royal freshness

    If you think he wasnt this good a rapper his whole career, go back and listen to some of his old stuff. Start with 'brand new funk."

  • this is my fave song on this album!!

  • At 3:07 is that Eva Mendes or Jada

  • looks like eva mendes

  • Definitely Eva, she was his co-star in Hitch.

  • He said that in 3:07

    "...FOUND Is ESCO, dead PREZ and them

    FOUND Is Lauren Hill

    FOUND Is Rakim

    FOUND Can be you..."

  • nice beat W.Smith 4 ever

  • Will Smith is the guy in the right time,when i have shit** day,i hear his songs and relax,he is a role model,i'm learning many things from him about being good person and i love his acting,he is smart guy and he is still the fresh prince,but with all his smiles he is the king,and to take an example from him is the best thing to do if somebody wants to have a better life.

    Will Smith is the man,rap and acting,and whatever he will do now,he will still the good guy he is.

  • are you idiot?

    i'm not drinking,i said all the truth

    and what i think about him,i know he is a star and has some stuff of middle star,but i love him,again,he's my role model.

  • If you guys like Will Smith, check out my youtube page and listen to my song Come On Im a clean artist , and I need as much support as I can get, being that Im a minority in this industry full of hood rap!

    Aaron Jae

  • my role model.

    he's a man who knew what he wanted in life and went after it.

    is it just me or is he like one of the few actors who has remained faithful and loyal to his wife? you don't hear anything about him.

    awesome man.

  • well, he divorced his first wife

  • only cuz she was a bitch

  • love it

  • WILL SMITH IS REAL RAP MUSIC!!!

  • Its kinda sad that most people dont know that Will Smith raps too, if these people knew.. The views of this song should be 50 mil

  • Agreed.

  • Dimgergon, you nick Dimergon in Wow ? ^^

  • All I can is " WILL SMITH YOU ARE SOMETHING SPECIAL "

    Just keep working it, you are heard my brother and understood. Peace and Blessings

  • Can anyone help me find the picture at 1:10? can't find it anywhere

  • if you need it mssg me im bound to have it somewhere

    yeah just respond to this (Dimergon)

  • @shorty187rideordie can I get it too?

  • pause the vid nd print screen it :)

  • most rappers are limited to basic ebonic vocabulary, that's part of the reason their rapping is so limited...

    ...just with his vocab alone, he can out all the rap chumps...even lil wayne's punk ass

  • I doubt it, he might be better than half the mainstream rappers, but hes nothing special. hes got decent lyrics, and a couple good lines, but honestly i cant really take him seriously, especially after fresh prince of bel air. but i know will smith has nothing on the underground. the beat is bomb tho

  • Will Smith is one of the best leading 'serious' & 'emotional' & 'comedic' & 'fun' actors of all time. He had rapped before he even went big in acting, but found his true place in the act world. He has far more classy original lyrical rhymes than any of these past 10-15 years of rappers. Only reason why he's not looked at greatly as a rapper is because he's just so much better as an actor.

    He is one of the only few who can be so silly AND so emotionally serious and still do both 110% greatly.

  • just because he was/is an comedian actor you can't take him seriously? thats just bs, it's like saying someone can't be president because he smoked 1 joint when he was 17.

    he's one of the best rappers atm, and it doesnt make any sense he's less respected, with songs as tell me why, lost and found, rain, then someone like 50 who's rappin about a girl licking his lolly... for example

  • oh no doubt hes better than mainstream artists, im not trying to knock him. what he says is what i feel bout rappers, but saying will smith is the best mc is a major overstatement. its opinion, theres no way to officially say anything is the best, this is just my thoughts man. its just that what hes saying -which is basically he knows how to do it and nobody else does- would be more effective if he himself were actually a legendary artist. in my opinion, he just doesnt live up to his lyrics

  • not to mention the ridiculous amounts of money he could spend to get people to produce, edit, even ghost his songs. nobody else (thats actually a good artist) would have bank like will smith. like his 200000000 box office record breaking movies, and such. like the beat alone would make any song good. if i could somehow gain enough money to buy that, i could have made a sick song. its all good though, no disrespect to his royal freshness

  • I know you weren't disrespecting him, just giving your oppinion anyways, in a good way with arguments ;-) I simply disagreed on the fact that you cant take him seriously, because of something he used to do.

    And to come back at the legendary artist part, he decided to promote his movies more then his music, you barely ever hear his songs on radio or tv nowadays. Besides that, he's still the first to get a rap grammy, making him kinda a legend already ;-)

  • Soulja Bitch can go eat a dick

  • come to think of it...

    i sometimes wonder, some rappers don't like will smith's style, and some have taken the liberty to retort back at him.

    So would that mean that even them listen to Smith's raps?

  • will eminem nd tupac IMO r the only rappers tht acually tlk bout sumit pl care about they rock like so does this song luv it

  • WILL god SMITH

  • Dude Will Smith is a damn icon. This guy frikkin rules, He can rap circles out of almost any damn MC. When he doesnt cuss I see that as staying true to yourself not being soft. Anyy rapper who says this guy is soft is just jealous they cant fucking touch his game even with their best work. Will Smith, Willenium forever!!!!!!!!!!!

  • whats funny is this guy raps circles around 9 out of 10 rappers out in 2008.

    "Lost & Found" as an album proves it. This guy makes 60 mil a year and he makes albums for the love of music and barley even promotes them. Thats called making music for LOVE.

    ps. Hottest song on this album was "I Wish I would have Made that"

  • it really is a pitty that there aren't many good rapers today so we musn't forget them

  • He and Eminem are the ONLY 2 rappers who ACTUALLY speak the truth about rap these days.

  • Don't forget about Lupe Fiasco

  • you forgot the rappers that he propped in this song

    "Found is Esco (aka Nas), Dead Pres and them. Found is Lauren Hill. Found is Rakim."

  • some people like ice t or ice cubes when he was younger are good like smith but people like soulja boy need to grow up and not yell at the mic. yahhhhHHH!H!H!H!HH!!HH!H!H!H!(­scared the shit outa me)

  • i like this song :)

  • O_O wow

  • DUDE how only 80,000 views this song is awesome!!

    "Why should i try to sound like yall sound, thats whats wrong with the rap game right now"

    (Will Smith)

    That shit is great =]

  • Eminem and will smith are my favorite rappers

    too bad they dont like eachother they would be a awesome duet

  • no they wouldnt cocky crazy red like eminem with succecful black man will? that doesnt mix

  • he was dissing eminem, 50 cent & g-unit

  • Good, because they suck.

  • The beat go hard. His lyrics is alright too.

  • Will decided to promote to his Acting more than his Rapping and that's why more people know him for his Acting and TV Shows and Movies. This song send a great message. Will is an under-rated rapper that deserves our respect.

  • Will Smith is a Power-House! Made $80 million this last year, Love His Lyric's Awesome!!

    Big Will Fan

  • BIGWILL IS THE BEST!!!

  • I think Will smith is one of the best rappers and actors of the world.

    Ps Sorry for my bad english its only scool english :D

  • romkca is right eminem is better

    but will smith isn't bad at all :)

  • duh it droped rap 2 actin

  • Recycling beats is called sampling, and thats what makes great rap. But true, the game is full of clowns. People like Will Smith are keeping real rap alive.

  • Oh and Will doesn't need to use the N word every 5 seconds...

  • Will decided to promote to his Acting more than his Rapping and that's why more people know him for his Acting and TV Shows and Movies. This song send a great message. Will is an under-rated rapper that deserves our respect.

  • Wow. I don't like rap. But man, this is an awesome text, he's so right on.

  • Thight(Y)

  • will smith is the bomb i luv dis guy and songs he kills

  • Wayhey, Will speakz the truth. The rap 'game' is full of effing clowns recycling each other's beats and rapping about what they spend their mega bucks on these days

  • i agree with you fully but eminem is also a true mcee like will that talks about his life not hos and money and that other bull sorry but emineem is better lyrically than will smith

  • Agreed man, I think Eminem is the best lyricist in the world (Tupac close second). It's a gutter he's only doing behind the scenes work these days. But Will Smith comes way ahead of all the crap that's being spewed out into the mainstream these days.

  • yeah but alot will smith is underrated cause pepole dont think he has a gangsta image or some shit liek that which annoys me cause will has been rappin longer then these clowns in the rap game now

  • Recycling beats is called sampling, and thats what makes great rap. But true, the game is full of clowns. People like Will Smith are keeping real rap alive.

  • Love Will Smith. He's the shit. Always comes with passion.

  • Fuck Jay Z

    Will shits all over Jay Z, Jaz Z is nothing compared to WIll Smith.

  • the best rapper, and the best actor :D^^

    he really is :D

  • 50 cent and those guys aint nothing against the fresh prince.

    This song has a rly good message.

  • One thing i luv about will Smith is he is real. he is not talking about some unrealistic bulshit.

  • 98% of all rappers wish they could accomplish what this man has. Everyone who says that will is not hiphop...tell you one thing...he is the first rapper to ever win a grammy. Now say something. Multi talented.

  • it is crazy how he raps without cusssing every line and makes it good one of the greats

  • he is so right

  • will smith is the best showman...

  • Goood lyrics, but hook needs some work still. Still sounds too pop-tart for my taste.

  • "Let's talk about the real reason yo ass went to Miami" OHHH!!!! Feel stupid.

  • first i liked his films, now his raps,,, he gonna be my favourite

  • yo...will smith noes exactly wut hes talkin about...maaaaaaaad rappers need 2 start rappin and thinkin like him
