Big Willie Style

You would think that i'd have other things to do with my time off this week, but I always end up on youtube looking up music videos and other random things or on wikipedia searching for album reviews or new movies that my favourite actors are working on. Today I felt like looking up big willie himself Will Smith. Yes, Will Smith, the one and only fresh prince of bel-air. Who doesn't know the words to the theme song for that show? Anyways, most of you probably know that at one point and time Will was somewhat of a musician. In fact before he was acting, he was rapping with DJ Jazzy Jeff, or just Jazz for those of you who remember the character from the fresh prince. Anywho, I was looking up Will's filmography and discography and suprisingly enough I remebered that I actually owned one of his albums, Willenium. Suprisingly enough its the only rap album I own. Anyways, I decided i'd go check out some of his music videos on youtube, and damn I honestly forgot how catchy some of his music is.

For example: Getting Jiggy with it (1998) . Who the hell didn't dance to this song back in the day. Although this may not have been Will's best song, it was damn catchy and sold him a shit load of albums. This was definitely big willie style.

Skip ahead 7 or 8 and years and you get, Switch: Swith was pretty much the worst piece of garbage that he could have called music. Although the beat for it is pretty good, the whole song is not something i'd call big willie style.

So with this being a new year, and his new album slated for release sometime soon, i'm hoping that we get big willie style, cause frankly, lil willie stlye ain't for me.
