Title: What do you really think of Will.i.am ?
Post by: Elano on February 05, 2008, 03:37:59 AM: I used to like him as a beatmaker and even as an mc,these 2 records are dope as fuck

His beats on these 2 works are AWESOME,i know the Bep now are no more a hh group but for his solo album i had some high hopes but it turns out to be pure trash from the first to the last song,and i laugh LOUD when i see a "review" like this one :

Will.i.am is an innovator for todays music. He created his own lane and personifies the image of a great musician. This cd is a prime example of the risks that he takes in music. This album definitely shows his growth as an artist and a producer.This album is different, creative, inspiring and a breath of fresh air.

Now can y'all tell me what's different,fresh and innovative about his first solo album ?

Besides Wiil.I.Am in-corporated a lot of styles outside of Hip Hop,hence the use of the word 'innovative'
I read somewhere that he wants to be Music Producer not just a Hip Hop producer

Post by: HEC on February 05, 2008, 08:40:10 AM: yeah his solo album came and went but Will is defintitely a dope producer with alot of diversity

Post by: K.Dub on February 05, 2008, 09:12:55 AM: Haha, I didn't even listen to his album after I heard that single.

But Will has proved that he can make harder Hip-Hop beats, i.e. on Game's and Nas'albums.

I like that single. Play it through some good speakers. It bumps! ;D

Will.i.am is tight. I just wish he didn't stick to the formula of wackness so much. Right now he is at a point that anything with his name on it will sell, so this is the time to put out only quality music!

Post by: Allpaul on February 05, 2008, 10:59:18 AM: You have to respect someone who can be a chameleon through all styles of music and have success. Compton on Game's album is one of the hardest beats I've heard in years!

Post by: soopadoopaflykid on February 05, 2008, 12:11:16 PM: I liked this album...some actually orcestrated produced tracks not some boring typical synthies or sampled type of tracks either...this is def for the people who listen to more then just hardcore hip hop

Post by: BLaZaY on February 06, 2008, 12:12:24 PM: Will.I.AM is a super talented producer, and has the talent to be a decent mc too, but like everyone on here probably thinks, his hip hop shit is way better than his pop shit... both those albums on the top of the thread as well as the first 2 black eyed peas cds were the Sheeeit!! Tell you the truth tho, even his pop shit aint that bad, just can't really get into it on a regular basis. I would really like to see him to a compilation with all westcoast artist the old west and the new cats too!! <----Somebody make this happen!!!

Post by: KURUPTION-81 on February 09, 2008, 08:07:16 AM: when he isnt aiming for commercial hits he is pretty good.
Title: Re: What do you really think of Will.i.am ?
Post by: T-Dogg on February 09, 2008, 08:24:51 AM: He's alright. Hit and miss for me, as far as the beats go. On the MC tip... I'll put it like this - I'm not looking to buy any of his records, but I don't mind if he's featured on some track.
