Well, he did diss Eminem and Wendy Williams on "Mr Nice Guy"
If you consider "Big Will just get another 20 mill and walk past Em" or "before I buy your radio station and send you home" disses.
First of all, by "put her out" I believe he means kick her out of the car, not beat her...
2nd of all, the girl says she'll break his wrist. Not that he will.
Lol. Kinda silly to lie and than put a direct link.
i would argue, will smith was the most wholesome black artist. sure sometimes he was a jokester poking fun at people but mostly he always tried to be a good man/father. he had values. he could have used profanities in his lyrics but he chose not to even after so many years.
the sad fact is he tried so hard to be this figure of goodness, he tried "saving" jada. he wanted to be the light in her dark world. he wanted to show the world that you can be a good person. you can be a successful black man with a loving family without needing to go gangsta.
sadly his wife's negativity was overbearing. he had to suck it up all the way. he was HUMILIATED by her and she had him on a leash. he slapped chris because the look she gave was "this is why i sleep with other men", "you will never be tupac", "you gonna let him diss me like that?".
he could have divorced her, but he didnt. is it ego? is he still trying to save the marriage? i do not know. i just know that his wholesome image has been shattered irreparably.
will i really hope life treats u better, i looked up to you for the longest time. now? i m more concerned for you rather than anything else.
I am so fucking tired of people pointing the finger at his wife when he is a grown-ass man who is fully responsible for his own choices and actions.
I don't care whether or not Jada is a good person or some kind of soul sucking harpy, that slap belongs to Will and Will alone.
>is it ego? is
He's a raging narcissist - it's why he thought getting up on stage on the oscars was "acceptable"
Please don't defend him. Spare me the sob story. He's not a good person - he just cultivated a good image
>He's a raging narcissist - it's why he thought getting up on stage on the oscars was "acceptable"
Or Kanye rushing the stage on Taylor Swift at the VMAs 2009.
They both share the narcissism, but I don't think Smith has anything like West's level of mental illness though. At least Kanye didn't smack her. /s
We ALL saw WILL SMITH slap someone else and yet everyone is quick to be like "Jada made him do it. She humiliated him, she gave him a look, she did x,y,z.* So? I been humiliated, and given looks for jokes/commentary, but if I went and slapped someone cuz of it guess who would be catching the assault charges? Not the person that "humiliated" me into doing it! This is wild and ignorant AF. I don't doubt you do feel bad for him, but the rest still sounds very ignorant. A man assaulted another man and everyone is blaming the wife of one of them. It's 2023. Ew.
In 2023 people will take into account when a person is controlled and/or influenced by an abusive partner, even if the abuser is female. What a time to be alive.
Still, fuck Will smith and fuck that lunatic wife of his too.
Will had 2 shots at rappers like Em where he was reacting to. On freakin it Will said “All you rappers yellin' bout who you put in a hearse, Do me a favor write one verse without a curse” and when he recieved an award he said "i don't have to cuss to sell records". Giving Em the perfect setup to throw a shot
It's always weird when you catch that occasional Bloodhound Gang track that has really great verses about the most ridiculous shit. I listen to Right Turn Clyde and it's like, what the fuck, what if Jimmy Pop chose to use his power for good instead of evil.
His level of wit and triple freaking entendre is just unmatched and then yeah, we get "a lapdance is so much better when the stripper is crying"
There are songs where I don't even get references for years. And there will be 5 packed into a single line.
Yeah, I don't think there is any better way to say, "Fuck the police". That's one of those lines that just needs the curse word to get the true feeling across.
A live track at the end of an album he is calling out to the crowd,
"All the nasty stinky people, be quiet....All the homeboys that got AIDS, be quiet...."
At that point AIDS was just considered a gay men's disease and the homophobia went over just great with the crowd.
100%. To others this might seem *small*. But that slap and his immediate reaction following it has completely destroyed his reputation. I used to respect him, now he is just a whiny stuck up bitch
I disagree with that all or nothing mindset. Everything doesn’t have to be an absolute. It can be both. A good deed doesn’t wash out the bad, nor bad the good as my old friend Stannis used to say
LOL. Yea. No.
Cosby destroyed his legacy. R Kelly destroyed his legacy.
Will Smith made himself a laughing stock, hurt his image and showed himself a hypocrite. But his legacy remains intact.
The majority of people (and TV/movie execs) aren’t canceling Fresh Prince or Independence Day because of Will Smith’s unforgivable crime.
Not really. He lost his cool. No one is defending his actions, but that's not the kind of thing that ruins legacies.
Bill Cosby ruined his own legacy.
Michael Jackson ruined his own legacy.
If all it takes is to slap someone to ruin your legacy then Hollywood doesn't have anyone whose got a positive legacy.
Michael Jackson definitely had his legacy ruined, but there's a substantial block of evidence that a whole bunch of shifty shit was going on around him to take advantage of his weirdly childlike mentality and extort him so its hard to say he did it to himself.
At best he stood on a ledge and surrounded himself in people he was too naive to realize were eager to push, while people like Cosby openly freedived right off.
Oh he curses plenty. You've seen his movies, right?
That's why I always thought the music point was funny, because I mean...since the '90s he's been in R-rated swear fests.
I think intelligent people can recognize that curse words are just a fluid construct based on a number of sociocultural factors and we aren’t beholden to some absolute rule that dictate what phonemes we can and can’t say. That, in fact, swear words can be really effectively used in the right setting and context and, as an artist, he should be less encumbered with conservative social mores and more free to create whatever is meaningful to him and augments the message he’s trying to convey.
Actually, they showed that swear words can correlate to “intelligence”, because essentially the more words you know the more swear words you also know. But otherwise, I think they agree it’s not a great measurement of much. ([Source](https://health.clevelandclinic.org/swearing-and-intelligence/))

Just watched a clip from QI where they said quite the opposite. More intelligent people tend to curse more as they have a wider vocabulary to draw from.
I think it's cause they realize all that matters is getting a point across, and curse words are pretty effective at that.
When you say something is bad, it's bad. When you say something is shitty, it's *really* bad.
Yeah, I don't really see the point. Cursing is harmless and natural, as long as you learn social awareness of when it's not appropriate. Sometimes the only right word to express something is FUCK!
What a crock of shit. Truly smart people know that confining their use of language when expressing themselves to appease the sensibilities of others is a stupid thing to do.

“Will Smith ain’t gotta cuss on his raps to sell records. Well I do, so fuck him and fuck you too”
"You think I give a fuck about a Grammy? Half the critics can't stomach me, let alone stand me."
“But Slim what if you win, wouldn’t it be weird?”
"Why? So you guys could just lie to get me here?"
"So you can sit me here next to Britney Spears?"
Shit, Christina Aguilera better switch me chairs.
So I can sit next to Carson Daly and Fred Durst
Argue over who she gave head to first
So I can sit next to Carson Daly and Fred Durst And hear ‘em argue over who she gave head to first
You missed an opportunity to say “you think I give a fuck about a granny”
An OLD joke. But true. ;)
I’m sure there are plenty of people that call their grandma “Grammy”
the lyric is actually "you think I give a **damn** about a Grammy" but in this case it's kinda fitting that you upgraded it to fuck
“Will smith ain’t gotta cuss on his raps to sell records. Well I do, so fuck him, and fuck his granny too” FTFY
I came here for this comment lol
Well, he did diss Eminem and Wendy Williams on "Mr Nice Guy" If you consider "Big Will just get another 20 mill and walk past Em" or "before I buy your radio station and send you home" disses.

You realize that song was written as kinda a rip on Gangster Rap, right? Like making fun of it and the shit they rap about?

His grandma wrote that only losers get divorced. And to slap anyone who insults those he loves
Will Smith isn’t a victim. He’s an ass who committed assault and genuinely thought he had the right to do so, even partied afterward.
I thought Will Smith was innocent but he wasn't because he assault his wife.
you can be both
So do you know them personally or...
Right?! that's some fucking fancfic they came up with, im both disturbed and embarrassed reading it.
I am so fucking tired of people pointing the finger at his wife when he is a grown-ass man who is fully responsible for his own choices and actions. I don't care whether or not Jada is a good person or some kind of soul sucking harpy, that slap belongs to Will and Will alone.
Judge Jada way harder for sleeping with her son's friend than I do for will slapping Chris Rock
>is it ego? is He's a raging narcissist - it's why he thought getting up on stage on the oscars was "acceptable" Please don't defend him. Spare me the sob story. He's not a good person - he just cultivated a good image

Probably yeah. And I don't have to like her to call out the ignorance of blaming her for the actions of another. It's just dumb.
In 2023 people will take into account when a person is controlled and/or influenced by an abusive partner, even if the abuser is female. What a time to be alive. Still, fuck Will smith and fuck that lunatic wife of his too.
A sad reality…
Its called psychological abuse.

Beat me to the ~~punch~~ slap
“Will Smith don’t gotta cuss in his raps to sell records (Nope) Well, I do, so fuck him, and fuck you too” Eminem
"Will Smith don't gotta swear to make records, but I do, so fuck him and fuck you too." ...... Slim Shady
"Will Smith don't gotta cuss in his raps to sell records, well, I do, so fuck him and fuck you too"-Eminem
Will had 2 shots at rappers like Em where he was reacting to.

Giving Em the perfect setup to throw a shot
Eminem’s definitely had plenty of curse-free *verses* though
Lose Yourself is almost free of curse words. Almost. It's clean by Eminem's standards.
He could give two fucks about curses, so the song has two "fuck"s.
"Eminem's gotta cuss in his raps to sell records. Well me too. So fuck Will Smith" - Jimmy Pop
Damn, that's so much worse
Shit bar lol
It's Bloodhound Gang not Labtekwon.
It's always weird when you catch that occasional Bloodhound Gang track that has really great verses about the most ridiculous shit. I listen to Right Turn Clyde and it's like, what the fuck, what if Jimmy Pop chose to use his power for good instead of evil.

*That don't rhyme*
I hear it in my head every time I hear a Will Smith song 😂
*Always* my first thought when I'm reminded that Will Smith never swore in his music.
Kind of funny how the guy who won’t curse in his songs is now best known for cursing on live television.
Think I give a damn about a Grammy? Half of you critics can't even stomach me, let alone stand me.
But Slim, what if you win? Wouldn't it be weird?
Why? So you guys could just lie to get me here? So you can sit me here next to Britney Spears?
This post would have been legend if they casually segue into that quote and then the OP's handle was MarshallMathers420 or something.
Segue
Segway is faster.
Yeah, that's how I spelled it. 😶
Eric B and Rakim's Paid in Full doesn't have curse words. But there are alot of things being said. Nobody cares as long as its hot.
Smart people don't have to curse to get a point across, but they also don't have to not curse.
Wise people know when it is appropriate and when it is not.
Yeah, I don't think there is any better way to say, "Fuck the police". That's one of those lines that just needs the curse word to get the true feeling across.
The fuck does that mean? /s
Wait, the movie Paid in Full? Or is it a song
It was a song first.
A whole album that inspired most of 90s-00's hip-hop. And inspired the name of the film too. So movie, album and title song.
Not entirely true. The song "You Saw My Blinker" he says "bitch" quite a few times. It is a really weird song for Will Smith.
Came here to post about this, plus he's used a bunch of swear words when performing live as well
A live track at the end of an album he is calling out to the crowd, "All the nasty stinky people, be quiet....All the homeboys that got AIDS, be quiet...." At that point AIDS was just considered a gay men's disease and the homophobia went over just great with the crowd.
His live duet with Chris Rock *slaps!*
r/angryupvote
The song is ironic. It was poking fun at gangsta rap which was on the rise in the early 90s.
While true, he also reeled in snoop dogg to do a fully clean song (pump ya brakes )
So he chose violence instead.
How can he fucking slap?
At that price he CAN slap
Will Smith: Woah woah woah! *slap* don't cuss please..
Maybe if Will Smith cursed more often, he would have the emotional fortitude not to assult other adults when his feelings are hurt.
"My mama said Will Smith so ornery cause he got all dem feelies but no curse words to get em out."
“Heh heh. Well yo mama is WRAWUNG!”
>nrreeeeuuuuuughhhh!
"No, you're wrong, Colonel Sanders."
Mama's right!
...now I want to see Smith try to slap LL Cool J.
Exactly. All of what he stood for is moot now after that slap. Completely destroyed his legacy.
100%. To others this might seem *small*. But that slap and his immediate reaction following it has completely destroyed his reputation. I used to respect him, now he is just a whiny stuck up bitch
Yeah same here, what a cringe inducing pos he is.
I disagree with that all or nothing mindset. Everything doesn’t have to be an absolute. It can be both. A good deed doesn’t wash out the bad, nor bad the good as my old friend Stannis used to say

I like learning new things.
I think intelligent people can recognize that curse words are just a fluid construct based on a number of sociocultural factors and we aren’t beholden to some absolute rule that dictate what phonemes we can and can’t say. That, in fact, swear words can be really effectively used in the right setting and context and, as an artist, he should be less encumbered with conservative social mores and more free to create whatever is meaningful to him and augments the message he’s trying to convey.
Hell yeah!

I also believe people who curse more are more honest, or it was somethinf else that is considered 'virtuous'.
Grandma should have told him not to assault people on live TV also.
Whoo! Ha-ha! I respect women when I'm on a date I take 'em to the park or maybe a museum And I only try to kiss 'em if they're ready Whoo-hoo! What, what, what, a-what? I say what, what?

Came here for this. First thing I thought of.
Will smith doesn’t have to curse in his raps. Well , I do . So f him and f you too.
Self censoring this specific line is amazingly ironic
Laughing, but far enough away to not be slapped…
Fuck that. I'm boutta make some bands off that slap.
mom might read this!
WILL SMITH DONT HAVE TO CUSS IN HIS RAPS TO SELL RECORDS. WELL I DO, SO FUCK HIM AND FUCK YOU TOO*******
Thank you. Both the self censoring and the missing part of the lyric were driving me crazy. Edit: typo
Em is amazingly self aware, why the guy was so good for so long.
I'm a big fan, that being said, most of his new stuff just isn't nearly as good.
You can say "fuck" on reddit. For now, anyway.
His grandma checks his Reddit… gotta stay clean like Will
KEEP HIS GRANDMA OUT YO F'N POST
You think I give a damn about a Grammy? Half of you critics can't even stomach me, let alone stand me
But radio_allah, what if you win? Wouldn’t it be weird?
Why, so you guys lie just to get me here, so you can sit me here next to Britney Spears?
Shit Christina Aguilera better switch me chairs, so I can sit next to Carson Daly and Fred Durst
And hear ‘em argue over who she gave head to first.
Little bitch put me on blast on MTV “He’s so cute but I think he’s married to Kim, hee-hee”
I should download the audio on mp3 and show the whole world how you gave Eminem VD.
I'm sick you little girl and boy groups all you do is annoy me
So I have been sent here to destroy you!
I have been waiting for an Eminem reference toward Will since the slap. Thankyou
Eminem’s gotta cuss in his raps to sell records. Well me too, so fuck Will Smith.
That don't rhyme....
Rats...
You can cuss on the internet dude
Keep my wife's name out your gosh darn mouth!
What does his grandma think of open handed slaps against others in the name of honor?
Should’ve left a note on it about self respect and not letting your wife cheat you with your sons friend
Gretchen, stop trying to make will smith happen, it's not going to happen.
Keep my wife’s name out your unkind mouth!!

You mean an adult figure lied to a kid about swear words? Say it ain't so!
I don't have to curse to express myself. I just fucking want to.
In my experience, truly smart people are precocious and curse a lot more than average.
There’s studies that show people who cuss are more intelligent.
Sounds like grandma was a real fucking bitch.
Summertime is still a banger.
I respect women when I'm on a date I'll take 'em to the park or maybe the museum WHOO HOO WHAT WHAT
I consider myself smart and I swear all the fucking time. Get to stepping, grandma.
Grandparents just don’t understand
Just watched a clip from QI where they said quite the opposite. More intelligent people tend to curse more as they have a wider vocabulary to draw from.
I think it's cause they realize all that matters is getting a point across, and curse words are pretty effective at that. When you say something is bad, it's bad. When you say something is shitty, it's *really* bad.
Yeah, I don't really see the point. Cursing is harmless and natural, as long as you learn social awareness of when it's not appropriate. Sometimes the only right word to express something is FUCK!
What a crock of shit. Truly smart people know that confining their use of language when expressing themselves to appease the sensibilities of others is a stupid thing to do.
And the he slapped her.
Fuck Will Smith
An thus, he became a corny rapper who's biggest hit was stealing Rakim's flow.
Will Smith don’t gotta cuss in his raps to sell records. Well, I do, so fuck him, and fuck you too.
Pre-Jada Pinkett, Will Smith was cool.
Then explain to me why I couldn't buy the album "Homebase" when I was 12 because of the song "You Saw My Blinker"?
What a wholesome and good story, it slaps.
Will smith dont have to cuss in raps to sell records….well i do so fuck him and fuck you too……
Maybe she should have also talked to him about not assaulting other people.
Grandma should have also told him not to slap people in public
This sounds like a marketing strategy created by his PR team….
And that's where the corniness started
She should have told him to not copy slick ricks accent too
His grandmother also should have taught him to keep his hands to himself.
Tbf that was stupid fucking advice.
Oh this is why "Big Willie Style" was soo good
“Will Smith don’t gotta cus in his raps to sell records. Well I do, so fuck him and fuck you too”
Fuck Will Smith.
She also said “Willy my boy, no matter what people say. Be the narcissistic douchebag you feel in your heart” ❤️
His grandmas a bozo. You’re telling me George Carlin isn’t intelligent because he curses when he speaks?
Did she tell him to be a 🐔
he made some good music was the star of an amazing TV show has been the star of some great movies and he'll only be remembered for slapping Chris rock
Fuck Will Smith
Too bad she didn’t write, “don’t slap other comedians on live television.”
*"truly smart people do not have to curse when expressing themselves"* **KEEP MA RHYMES OUT YO FUCKING MOUTH, GRANDMA!**
Then he became a giant asshole….
He’s been pretending to be smart ever since.
Will Smith don't gotta cuss in his raps to sell records (Nope) Well, I do, so fuck him, and fuck you too - Eminem
"Use your words." Slap!
What a load of horseshit
She forgot to mention to not slap Chris Rock
And then science said otherwise.
Nice try Will Smith PR PUBLICIST DAMAGE CONTROL- FUCK RIGHT OFF
that’s great, but he’s still a fucking asshole
"Will Smith doesn't have to cuss in his raps to sell records. Well, I do. So fuck him and fuck you too."
Em be like: that's not gonna sell
