Will Smith says “You Can Make It” even if you commit an act of violence on live TV and get booted by the Motion Picture Academy. He performed a new rap song on the BET Awards last night as part of his comeback campaign.
“You Can Make It” reminded me of Kendrick Lamar’s incendiary 2016 Grammy performance, which was much fresher and new at the time and even now. Everything about Will’s performance said “2016.” Maybe it a slap back to a more innocent time. (It also looked a little like used Kanye.)
With “Bad Boys Ride or Die” a hit, Will definitely feels like his punishment is over, and that he’s been vindicated. Whether or not that’s real, remains to be seen.
