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.
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!
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.

This is a fun album that takes you back to 1997. It will bring a smile and laughter to guests when they here one of these tracks come on but enjoy it just as much if not more than when they heard it back in the day. Features notable songs like: Gettin' Jiggy Wit it, Miami, Just the two of us, Big Willie Style, and Men in Black. Not too bad to have 5 memorable singles on an artist's first solo album!
