Will Smith, the actor/rapper/visionary is working on a comeback album with producer, Mars. Will Smith released a couple of "not too hot" albums in the late 80s, but his big music break was in Homemade, which brought us the single, Summertime. And his biggest album was 1997's Big Willie Style, which had such singles as "Men In Black", "Getting Jiggy With It", "Just The Two Of Us", and "Miami"; and it went on to sell 14 million copies worldwide. His sales after that started dropping as he concentrated more on his acting career, and his last album, Lost & Found (2005) that had "Switch" didn't even go Platinum.Mars talks about working on his come-back album, and also albums from Incarcerated rapper, T.I.
"[T.I.] will always be my brother, he'll always be a friend and production partner. I'll always be working with Tip. He's been sitting [in jail] for a year. So I've been thinking about my brother. I have all different types of directions, all types of different stuff," Mars explained in an interview. "We're working on Tip, we're working on the High School movie with Snoop and Wiz Khalifa. We're working on Will Smith, bringing him back. That's actually him on the other line right now. Snoop's daughter, we just put out her first single. We're doing the whole album. Mario wants me to d a mixtape with him, we're working on that. I'm working on Ashanti. We're just working on as much as possible." (XXL Mag)I think that is a lovely list Mars has there, and i know he would definitely make some serious money off working with Will Smith. But, i am thinking, can Will Smith make a come-back? Does he even need to? I mean, he has all the money from the movie industry, why try to rap again. Maybe it is a passion thing, but i would love if he takes it serious. Remembering Will Smith as a rapper, he was not really a multi-dimensional rapper, so i am just wondering what he would bring to the table that would catch the attention of the people. What do you think?
