When someone slaps your family member on national television, it is sensible to believe you will never give that person credit publicly ever again. Thus, it is no surprise that Tony Rock, Chris Rock’s brother, recently called Will Smith‘s new album, Based On A True Story, “trash.”
TMZ caught up with the actor and got his take on the March LP. “Will Smith has an album out and it’s a piece of sh*t and he addresses the Oscars,” the 50-year-old comedian said. Rock admitted that he had not listened to the album and didn’t plan to, but he knew enough to slam it due to the fact he believes Smith used The Oscars to draw attention to his new music.
“Everybody keeps telling me to stop talking about [The Oscars] but then he f**king puts it on a song,” he added. “So that gives me leeway to talk about it again. Album’s trash. I’m just assuming. I haven’t listened to it. I refuse to listen to it. This album is probably sh*tty as f**k because I haven’t heard anything about it other than ‘Oh, he addresses your brother.’ If that’s the only selling point, that’s a sh*tty album.”
Will Smith raps about the Oscars slap incident, which took place three years ago, multiple times on his new album. “I heard he down bad, I heard he won the Oscar, but he had to give it back / And you know they only made him do that sh*t because he’s Black,” he rapped on “Int. Barbershop – Day.”
On “You Lookin For Me?” he rapped, “Took a lot, I’m back on top, y’all gon’ havе to get acclimated / Won’t stop, my sh*t still hot evеn though I won’t get nominated.” Big Sean, Russ, Joyner Lucas, Teyana Taylor, and his son, Jaden, all appeared on the 14-song LP. Listen above.
