Editorial Review:
Is Will Smith an important rapper? The kind that deserves the awards, the honors, the accolades that the music industry foists upon him? Well, no. The words corny and safe might be applicable when describing the artist formerly known as the Fresh Prince. But dig this: corny and safe as he may be, why can't you stop singing "Getting Jiggy wit It" or why does your child love "Just the Two of Us," Smith's shameless ode to dads and their kids? Probably because Smith is nothing if not sincere. Yes, the tracks are obvious and leaden, and, no, Method Man won't have any sleepless nights when Smith lets loose with a rhyme. But give him this: Smith comes from the culture, even if he long ago left the streets. --Amy Linden

Rating:  - A REPOSITORY OF FUNK SAMPLES
I am a simultaneous listener of hip hop and funk. Simply because funk is a subset of the dance music market; and because hip hop used to extensively sample it.
When I started to hear older funk songs that sounded similar; this is how I realized that hip hop gave me a "window" to the sound of funk which I really dig.
This album was made before 21st century hip hop musicians such as Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Kayne West and others started to ignore those funk sounds. I ... Read More
Rating: - Fun & Friendly Rap (Rating: 8 out of 10- -4.0 stars)
I remember back in 1998, I was extremely pissed at my mom because she wouldn't stop at the store so I can buy this album. Back in 1997 Will Smith aka The Fresh Prince dropped his first LP with out his right hand man DJ Jazzy Jeff, his first time on the mic in almost four years. Since the 1993 album Code Red, Will has been on television and on the silver screen, mainly with his two big blockbuster hits Men in Black (Deluxe Edition) & Independence Day (Single Disc Widescreen Edition) with detoured ...

Rating: - I Enjoyed This!
To be honest, right now in my life I'm not the biggest pop-music fan. I don't think pop music is 'bad' by any means and haven't got anything against the artists, it's just not what I focus on with music or the type of music I enjoy the most. But there was a time when I did listen to the radio more often, go to the bars and hit the college parties. And at that time, this album was extremely popular! Everyone pretty much knows Will Smith, and if you remember when this album was released back in 1997, ... Read More
Rating:  - Buy the Tracks
Big Willie Style contains three of Will Smith's greatest hits. We've heard them a million times, and quite frankly they have worn off their appeal. Now the downfall of the CD is not that the three best songs are over played, but that the rest of the CD is mediocre at best. To someone really dying to have the popular songs on this CD, I'd suggest legally download the few songs you want and save the rest of your money. I am a huge supporter or Will Smith and his clean lyrics, but I hope in the future ... Read More
