16. "Can we truly guage the fearlessness of someone with such a wide safety n..." In response to Reply # 1
It's one thing to be fearless when Will Smith is your father and you have every asset and connection at your disposal, because there really isn't much to fear.
By sheer virtue of your parentage, your "floor" in life in terms of economic stability is still higher than the ceiling of most people.
I'd say it's fairly easy to be fearless in that situation. Not that there aren't pressures and shit to deal with, such as the fact that everybody wants to chime in with thwir opinion on everything you do.

You can pick any random kid from any art high school here in NYC and they would be way more talented and worthier of the attention than this kid.
Can we all start by admitting we would not know anything about this kid if Will Smith wasn't his dad?

White Hollywood been doing it since forever and most of y’all sit back and enjoy or at least critique based on talent alone.
As soon as Will gets in the game and does the same shit now it makes you sick?
Got damn they did a number on us.
and trust, I find dude annoying but he can spit and has enough talent to put out music. Prolly should do music instead of modeling and acting but fuck it. Get that money.

Makes no sense. There are so many talented Black People why would I waste time falling over someone with no talent just to spite white folks?
A shitty artist is a shitty artist and nothing can change that. if he were dope and Will Smith's son I wouldn't be hating on him because he is Will Smith's son. But because dude is fake deep and hacky I can recognize that he only got where he is because of who his dad is.
And the worst thing about Jaden Smith is how negros are falling over him and embracing him as brave and fearless and original when all he is doing is what every little arty white kid in Harvard-Westlake is doing.
Niggas need to be radical got them embracing wack shit. SMH.

21. "You resent him for utilizing the resources at his disposal? " In response to Reply # 2
Sure, we wouldn't have heard of him. I don't know how good he is or isn't. I don't particularly want to listen.
It's one thing to accept that he was born on home plate and can essentially bunt his way through life.
It's another to be mad that he's doing exactly what you or your own children would do with access to the sort of resources he has available to him.
He could be a spoiled brat on Justin beiber shit. Instead he's merely an eccentric who at times says ridiculous things, made an outstanding reboot of a classic movie, and generally presents himself as a positive person.
28. "I resent how easily we equate rich with smart and talented. " In response to Reply # 21
Again, if you give most of the kids at Laguardia High School for the arts the types of budgets and access this kid has, they would produce superior art.
Of course rich kids think they are special and utilize there resources, but I hate that we buy into it.
It's the shit that got us Donald Trump as President. I don't think to this day You can't tell legsdiamond that DT isn't smart and a great businessman. SMH.
I've spent a considerable amount of time around privileged rich kids and some decent amount of time with creative kids of way less means. So this is a personal pet peeve of mine.

43. "Man, this album is flames" In response to Reply # 0
Falcon and George Jeff are probably my favorite joints right now. George Jeff has that cool headnod vibe white Falcon is just on another level musically... starts off almost sounding like house and then trap and then a quick acoustic snippet and all transitions so seamlessly. Lost Boy is great. Fallen is definitely something most older heads can feel. Icon is dope as I expected it to be. The Passion is just lit. We already talked about my love for Batman.
The first 4 tracks on the album (B,L,U & E) are like a 4 track intro and will have you thrown off as to what the album sounds like if you judge by them. Album has some very dope music on it. I was kinda joking about him taking over the winter, but damn... he really made a case. Just waiting on that Miguel now.

45. "Love these children. They are inspiring the next GREAT" In response to Reply # 0
Jaden and Willow represent a creative movement for black children. I don't really know of any other modern black youth from wealth who have been so willing to start something new as opposed to following.
However they were educated is how I want my child to be educated. Truly free thoughts, representation and actions.
I don't know if I like all the music yet, but I like what it offers.
I really ain't trippin if ppl don't like the music. I posted it to talk about it with ppl who do... but unless you like 60, it's not your age. You just don't like his music.. which is cool.
55. "I feel the same way" In response to Reply # 52
I think what I hate most about this type of music is how immediately disposable it is. I mean, it's a teenager mumbling over generic 90s-ish R&B tracks. And it's musically indistinguishable from any random Drake song, which is indistinguishable from any other random autotune rapper. They churn out these albums with no real artistic point of view? What stories are they telling besides pretending to be depressed and shittily singing about girls? There's nothing here for anyone over 30. This shit goes straight in the discount bin with the rest of this generation.

Well number one, you're not even listening to younger artists as individuals, which is disrespectful to them. I get that you're not 14 anymore and don't care about artists now like you did when you were, but it'd be more logical to say that. 2, Jaden has different styles and deliveries all over the album.
>They >churn out these albums with no real artistic point of view?
He definitely has an artistic point of view. One of the things I like about this album is that he has his own artistic identity.
>What stories are they telling besides pretending to be >depressed and shittily singing about girls?
Try listening to the album. Start with the song "Hope". Enjoy. Also, I enjoy songs that tell stories and songs that just... sound good and don't necessarily tell a story at all. It's cool that you don't enjoy the latter. I'll be sure to hold you to that. As for Jaden on this album, he has concept songs, songs about girls, songs about his view of society, vibe songs with a thoughtful line her or there, party songs, etc. I don't have a problem with any of that. Nothing negative to be found here.
>There's nothing here for anyone over 30.
Lol. Oh the classic "no one over _ age should like this because I don't" line. I love you guys.
>This shit goes straight in the >discount bin with the rest of this generation.
You may as well have left it at "I'm old." Trying to intellectualize your oldness just sounds rather irrational.
