Transcript

00:00Will Smith's new album and a review of it, a very critical, harsh review of Will Smith's new album, coming from one Tony Rock.

00:11Oh, he's got a dog in the fight.

00:12Yes, he does. Well, I don't know if I would call him a dog.

00:15I didn't mean...

00:16But Chris Rock is a very accomplished comedian.

00:21You know I...

00:21You call him your dog. I get it. You're tight.

00:23Okay, well, I'm a dog.

00:25Yeah.

00:26Why did you have to do that?

00:27I just had to.

00:28Anyway, we got Tony Rock out, and, you know, he has been, ever since the slap, has been very vocal in his support for his brother, and has...

00:37More so than his brother.

00:38Yes. Like, while Chris has stopped talking about it, Tony won't.

00:42And he believes that he has more reason now to talk about it after Will dropped this album.

00:49And listen to Tony's review of it. It is interesting for one very funny reason.

00:55Will Smith has an album out, and it's a piece of s***, and he addresses the Oscars.

01:03It's a good time to be a comic right now.

01:05Album's trash.

01:06I'm just assuming that.

01:07I have you...

01:07I haven't listened to it.

01:09I'm just protecting my brother.

01:10I'm not...

01:10Well, I like...

01:11My brother's keeper, that's all.

01:12This album probably s***, because I haven't heard anything about it.

01:14Other than, oh, he addresses your brother.

01:16If that's the only selling point, that's s*** the album.

01:18Does this make things worse or better?

01:20Will him and your brother have...

01:22No, no, no.

01:23It's just...

01:25This is the saying that I don't like, but this applies.

01:29It is what it is.

01:30They ain't friends, they ain't gonna be friends.

01:33It is what it is.

01:34Well, to be fair, it's not that Tony is not stopping talking about the slap.

01:39Will's track, his album, renewed the conversation.

01:42So Tony had to react.

01:43I mean, everybody covered the song that, you know, Will was addressing.

01:47You know, he addressed it several songs, but, you know, it didn't even hit billboards,

01:50so no one cared.

01:51Yeah, I mean, I guess...

01:53That's a problem.

01:53What about his review, considering he hasn't actually even listened to it,

01:57but I guess he can look at the charts and go, well, it didn't even...

02:02It didn't chart.

02:02Didn't get on the top 200, which is the album chart, and...

02:07That's a big deal.

02:09No, it's a real big deal.

02:10Will Smith actually has the first Grammy for a rapper.

02:12You know, like, once upon a time, you know, he was a living legend with the microphone,

02:17and now, like, people are not even caring to even push play on the album.

02:20Everybody has Spotify or Apple Music.

02:23Eric from San Francisco.

02:25I understand where Tony is coming from, defending his brother,

02:28but if Will's gonna drop an album, would he not talk about it?

02:32Like, what else would he rap about?

02:33The 20-year anniversary of Shark Tale?

02:35Like, he's trying to get these numbers going.

02:38Now, if he wanted to boost those numbers, he should have rapped over the I'd like to move

02:42it, move it beat, but everybody's trying to benefit off this slap, including Tony.

02:47So, what's the issue?

02:48It didn't work.

02:49Didn't work.

02:49Didn't work for Will.

02:50No, it hasn't worked for Will, although he's got a tour coming up.

02:53We'll see how that does once the world tour.

02:55We'll see you next time.
