Factotum Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Quote Wild Wild West is decent fun, sort of film that I'd watch it if it's on but won't go out of my way to see. Its the oddest film ever. Its so all over the place. God knows what Brannagh was doing in it. I,Robot - I had utterly forgotten about that film. Solid enough. Shocked they never did another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted February 12, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 12, 2019 Will did one song where he was going to Miami, then shortly thereafter another where he was going (straight to) the Wild Wild West. "This fucker's never home" was my thought at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sampling Rock the Casbah for a hip hop new year's anthem is fucking genius. Rock The Casbah, the famous New Years Rock song is it? The whole song is a mess from the lyrics to the sample. awful at the time, awful now. He has sampled many songs and done good, but that is just pure garbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted February 12, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 12, 2019 You do know that if you sample a song it doesn't have to be about the same thing right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted February 12, 2019 Moderators Share Posted February 12, 2019 I hadn't heard it for a long time so I went and listened to it now. An unmitigated banger. Perfectly captures the uncertainty and cautious promise of the y2k zeitgeist. It should be considered a cultural artifact of the turn of the millennium.

Paid Members Accident Prone Posted February 12, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 12, 2019 Wild Wild West was the first film I ever saw on DVD, so it has a special place in my heart. However, Will gets a downvote due to his awful offspring and whatever that shit 'After Earth' was. The amount of good Will is involved in is outweighed by the bad.

Joking aside, I am glad people can enjoy it. It just does nothing for me. Diddy sampled Led Zepplin the previous year with a better end result in my opinon. Which is what is great about us all having different opinons. Anyway, Bad Boys 3 is next for Big Will. Does anyone care for a sequel to a franchise which has only been good at best 18 or so years after the last one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has some good tracks and some nice wordplay, but because he's not all about biznitches, the n-word, violence and drugs people don't give it a listen.

He was still massively popular into the early 00's musically and the general concencous here is that he has made some bangers! And Will2K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted February 12, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 12, 2019 He was, he's sold loads, but is looked upon as something of a joke by "proper" rap fans. This is a cracker. He invented horrorcore.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Don't give a shit about his films but I adore his music. I'm 36 now, so when he followed up Getting Jiggy With It with Miami, I thought he was Jesus Christ. Big Willie Style reminds me of happier times and my childhood.

wordsfromlee Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 The only reason "Gettin' Jiggy With It" was so good was because Nas ghostwrote it for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted February 12, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 12, 2019 Summertime was originally written for Rakim, but he turned it down and Will got it. It's a fine tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
