@@metaphysicalperspective4532 i remember that rumor many years ago. But pretty aure it was proven he wrote his own songs altho he had collaborators that helped and pitched ideas. Eminem and nearly every other rapper does this same thing.
Will Smith should be listed as one of the GOAT when t comes to hip hop. One of the few rappers to actually be genuine (keep it real) in their lyrics and still get hated on.
1997. I was17 years old watching Will Smith videos on MTV. The world has changed so much since, and not only for the better....there was no social media, no smartphones, no climate change, no coronavirus...
Will had a self-driving car before everyone else. Man, this video and song makes me feel so happy, yet sentimental. I really miss the 90's. I wish it were possible to go back to that decade. I'd literally do almost anything to go back to either the 90's or the 00's.

Ever since the Oscar incident I’m back at binging on will’s work ! Independence Day , now here , then Men in black ! Damn I to remember the lyrics even though last time I sung them was in high school 20 years ago lol
Fun fact: On Will Smith's 'Big Willie Style' album liner notes, Nasir Jones, also known as Nas, is credited as a co-writer on six songs, including; “Chasing Forever”, “Yes Yes Yall”, “Men in Black,” “Gettin' Jiggy wit It”, “Just Cruisin' (Remix)” and “Miami.
Low key, Will’s best single in that era. It’s weird how Miami, Getting Jiggy, Men In Black were so massive and this one was mostly ignored. Shows that general public’s taste has always been WACK. Even in the 90’s where revisionist historians like to pretend how amazing everything was. This song got very little run on the radio, even though it was dope.
I always loved this song back in the 90s and always watch the replays on tv. Honestly Getting Jiggy and men in Black songs are great but those are songs that stick with most people because they are popular songs people can dance to or remember, this song is not like that it’s sentimental, soft, smooth and different which is why I’m assuming it wasn’t that popular but it doesn’t matter. What matters is that in 2021 people are starting to appreciate this beautiful masterpiece
So sad how music is today brother, the 90's best time for rap and hip hop. The flow and lyrics to this song is just heavenly, can listen to it over and over again. What a massive classic, hip hop is really dead.
Will was one of those rare rappers that didn't need to swear, promote drugs or violence or have sex in his videos to have good music. I don't listen to alot of rap music but I will listen to Wills
I loved this song since my childhood when I was 8 years old Will Smith is one of my favs since the fresh prince of bel air and all of his awesome movies I would play this song in my car just to cruise around the world passing by a few girls watching. It's 2018 and I'm still listening and jamming to this song and all of his old songs Will Smith is the G.O.A.T. actor/rapper.
Takes me bk to the best times of Rap!!! I miss the 90's when Will Smith was the king of the rap game!!! He's the real GOAT not em!!! BIG WILLIE STYLE is still my favourite Album
In 1998, my father gave me a new black Mercedes E class. In the evening, my friend came to me with Will's new CD. We rode around the city for three whole hours and then, just to hear enough, we left Baku and went to another city. The distance is approximately 400 km. All this time we listened only to this masterpiece on repeat.
you can stand for your woman... like a gentleman. And leave with her the stupid dehonesting show. You don't have to turn into ape, and attack like gorila.
weather it's will Smith or him and jazzy Jeff it's nostalglistic at its best this that feel good music this the type shit you'll throw on at a cookout back in the day #feelmeonthatrealtalk💯💯💯💯💯
Nexus those two sentences rhyme. You could make a rap song out of that. Just rap those sentences to the tune of this song. Nas wrote the lyrics to this track I like it even more knowing that Uhn! Where, baby, I don't care (just cruisin) As long as you take me there (just cruisin)...

@@djhurrikkane Yes the Grammys don't mean nothing. They weren't going to give Public Enemy, Krs, Rakim or any of them Grammys back then. His ghost writer Nas deserves it more than him.
@@humanbeing4021 Alright, let’s clear this up once and for all. I hung out with Will in the studio. And watched him write it. It was a fun studio session, and I said a line or two or three to him. It wasn’t that serious. Will Smith wrote that song. But seriously, I watched him have fun making that record on his own, and Will is a true MC,” Nas says.
One of the most underrated Will Smith songs
Under-acknowledged today, but people who heard it back then after the Men in Black theme song, I think we liked it alright!

Will had an IPad in the 90's. This brother was before his time.
Lol
Nah. He had the CarPlay before everybody else had it. Still ahead of his time, tho.
Very underrated jam takes me back to a simpler time .

There'll never be another.

x3 here! Just an epic couple of decades.
Same. I miss the 90's and 2000's too. I often wish I could travel back in time and visit those periods.
I wish I could go back to visit the 90s & 2000s too. Even though social media & modern conveniences didn't exist in the 90s.
This is one of my favorite chill jams. Timeless 😊.
Track Masters on the beat, Nas on the writing credits and vocals from Tichina Arnold of "Martin" and "Everyone Hates Chris" fame. Crazy.

Goes to show all publicity is good publicity. I'm here too.
A lot of his music wasn't really heard, and when you do listen to them, you have to conclude he was very underrated
Unmatched positive energy
Not anymore. Slap!!!!!
@@TheJereld He kept an elegant smile while doing it #Positivityslap 😆
I knew Nas had something to do with this soon as Will said "Intro, the maestro, nice flow, hot like nitro, cool as ice though"
The way he flowed it
So what but will Cam rap stop acting like that man made his whole rap life in career like will can't rap

Will could rap he is a true hip hopper
Also Heavy D
He can flow / swag

This is my FAV Will Smith of all time. And i know why.... because Nas wrote this.
Yeah this is my first time ever hear thjs song over 20 years later 🤦🏿♂️ this definitely could’ve been a hit song
I miss the 90s man

This is my favorite Will Smith song 🥰🔥 abd shout out to Tichina Arnold for singing the hook!
I thought it was Faith Evans
The hook?
And Nas for ghostwriting this track.
Pam?!!
Will Smith gets slept on for some reason! Bangers like this solidify his place as one of the GOAT'S!
Will was one of those rare rappers that didn't need to swear, promote drugs or violence or have sex in his videos to have good music.
I don't listen to alot of rap music but I will listen to Wills
Thats why his still alive ,besides that shittty wife of his , his a solid guy
I don’t think Andre 3000 swears 🤔
True..
And LL cool j
Not anymore
The only guy who can work 'dichotomy' into a sick flow
pusha T did pretty good as well
Thank Nas For that, He Wrote it. But Props Where Props are Due, The Fresh Prince Delivered it Big Willie Style Yeah Yeah.....
matt fahringer It happens like that sometimes, you're not the only one to bring that to my attention. Thanks for the Reminder PEACE......
+Sheila Wilson lol that happens to me all the time on mobile, it sucks and is so random.
Chris Watson Word lol
Thank you, Will Smith. Music knows no boundaries. With love from Russia!!!
This should have been a larger song on R&B and pop radio at the time. Shout out to Tichina Arnold for singing the hook.
Man looking at him then and now, he never aged!
i used to listen to alot of hiphop when i grew up
Will is one of the few rappers i can still listen to today
He was way ahead of his time. Even had the touchscreen before anyone else
Nope. First touch screen was invented before Will was born.
Love Tichina Arnold's vocals...she can SING!
did tachina do the vocals??? wow...she killed it
yes she did, this song really never got the recognition it should have
DaBassLady Covers can Pam sing better than Gina?
That beats reigns over time. Listened to it for the first time 24 years ago.
Love how Will gives props to big and 2pac
I think this is a perfect song for the summer
yea agree to that its just so good and chilling
You can say that again
I think umm "summertime" is more apropos
Summertime part 2 hahaha
I agree☝️
Those beats had so much more soul in them damn. Can't stop bopping my head
The sun was even different in the 90’s way warmer and brighter looking on all the videos ! 🤔
Yes. I say this often! I think were in a different time space now. Something is off. I cant explain it. Maybe we all really did die in 2012....
Video/visual effects and colouring can do that. The sun was no different then than it is now
@@numerar7777 yeh k.. ill accept that. We are fucking up the planet royally
THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT THOUGHT THIS
The sun thats out there now is artificial..just a giant light with L.E.Ds
Nas is credited as a writer on this one. I can definitely hear the Nas flow in Will's delivery
If you listening to this feel good song right now, you are a connoisseur of music ...
sooooooo Nostalgic thanks for this takes me right back to 1997...... ahhhh the memories
This is such an under rated song, takes me back to my junior year in high school.
Legendary Will Smith 🎶🎼🎵🔥🔥🔥
C'était l'une de mes chansons préférées à l'époque 😍
Des souvenirs d'adolescence
you gotta admit, that first bar was pretty smooth though.
Nas wrote it.
intro with a meistro, nice flow, hot like nitro, cool as ice though
One of fav Will Smith tracks. Such a tune
Hope Big Willie Style finally gets that Gold Oscar this night , long overdue , I loved his performance in King Richard
