Product ReviewsBig Willie Style by Will Smith (CD, Nov-1997, Columbia (USA))

Summertime, Big Willie Style

While I myself am not a hip hop fan, my wife had wanted this disc for some time for a number of songs on it she had heard and liked. Upon listening to it, I must say I was pleasantly surprised that there are a number of songs on it I like, too. Overall, the album's laidback groove and easy-going vocal style fit the summertime mood that Will Smith shoots for here. The "intro" is a bit jarring, but once you're past that, the tunes slide along, making for an excellent soundtrack for riding in the car on a warm summer day.Read full review...

Reason Why My Son Likes Rap

This album is the reason why my son (age 13) likes and is allowed to listen to rap. So much of whats publicized and played on the popular radio is what I label as "trash talk" rap. We don't allow the language, the negative lifestyle or attitudes - in fact we teach against them - so why would allow the music? Yet we want our child exposed to different genres, cultures and emotions of music. Will Smith has talent, emotion and mixes hip-hop with sounds that every one can appreciate. My son listened to this CD and was hooked right away! Now we hunt for other "clean" rap and hip-hop. Thanks Will!Read full review...

One of the best hidden gems.

Will smith's albums are overlooked. I wish rappers we're more like him, to rap without cursing, and always talking about something sexual all the time. IT'S OVERRATED.

Good music from a Good man

Will Smith puts so much of his feelings and his life into his music. The songs on Big Willie Style are not too dirty or filled with offensive words. It's the same humor and beats from back in the day with the Fresh Prince. This CD will not be embarrassing for children to hear. This says a lot the kind of father Will Smith is!Read full review...

Big Willie says it all, I guess...

Will decided not to change his style much on Big Willie Style, the first record he released since having major hits at the box office with Independence Day and Men in Black. Instead of trying to toughen his image, Smith continued with the friendly, humorous pop-rap that has been his trademark since He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper.Read full review...
