Transcription

I've known Gibby for sixty seconds or 80; I feel like I've known Will Smith for years, Or what I've known is the visage, the brand, the carefully curated smile on screens, the slow motion walks away from explosions, the kid from Philly, born and raised, who made ami his play thing | Jiggy with white America Biggie and Tupac never could... How far princes fall... I won't make light of his work, who amompg us hasn't fw Will Smith? The Wild Wild West? Maybe not...MIB? Don't front. Nobody can forget the swag of Agent J no matter how many times they flashed us with those th we all fw with Bad Boys, even Hancock was okayeee But we all saw it man, we all saw the slap, he should have caught a fade right there and then, he needed more time with Uncle Phil-- how could you let a creepy b run your life like Jada Pinkett, How could you sit there thinking it's all good while she dragged your manhood through the mud and let your whack ass kids stomp on it? You set the bar really low man, I don't need to know what kind of man Gibby is to know he's got shit under control in ways you can't, I can tell by just the way he stands with the gang that he's got the discipline not to act a damned fool-- maybe he should be the onein the movies and you should irement home, dawg. pit the retirem ’ : A < r@ J ——
