@@azureavocado5195 Willow is talented, she may not be legend status or fit your style of music but respect and acknowledge that she is talented. If you don't like it then simply don't listen, no need to downplay it.
Yessssss like she’s definitely a nepo baby but to denounce her talent and creativity as a artist because of that would simply be dishonest. Her growth has been amazing to see and she genuinely makes great music !!
I actually love the fact that she's a nepo baby. She didn't have to care about whether her music sold or not. She tried this and that and finally found what worked for her. Very few artists nowadays are authentic
Will smith children’s get way too much disrespect in general They were made fun of for their clothing, sexual orientation, hair, music and opinions which never really sat right with me at all
I agree. At least they’re given the freedom to be themselves even if it can be “cringy”. I also feel it’s no coincidence that they are also black kids who don’t fit stereotypes and are more experimental. It probably plays a role in them getting a lot more hate.

@@blknoname it’s honestly quite genre-bending but for a specific look on it it’s: darker pop with lots of jazz, r&b, singer-songwriter and some rock influences- she’s very versatile!

@@jxoriginals i would go for more jazz bs alt rock (at least that’s what billboard put empathogen on). But tbh, i think as of now she experimenting to create her own sound.
she's multi instrumentalist and CAN SING different kind of genres. she deserves more attention in the music industry, really tiring to see artists nowadays are all girl pop creating tiktok algorithmic songs
I love that she is reclaiming Rock music as a historically African American genre. I hope she makes she makes it big. Plus I can't wait for her tour with Childish Gambino
I’ve seen a video comparing her to China Mcclain, and china killed her cover of diamonds by Rihanna, it would be interesting to see what Willow do with this song
I love Willow! She’s unapologetically herself and she experiments into themes and sounds that keeps her music evolving and interesting. She’s not worried about pleasing the masses or fitting in and I love that about her. The nepotism stuff went out the window years ago for me. Who tf cares!? When I see her I don’t see her parents I see an artist!
I love Trey's track with Willow and Jaden. I think it's called Find You Somewhere? I haven't listened to it in a bit, I'm gonna go listen to it after this. Willow is the star of the track. But Trey made amazing beats too.
@@NoOne-wt3sv Didn't know that, all I know him for I being pretentious as fuck and Karate Kid. Even then Karate Kid was a thing because Jackie Chan really.
@@TMcCarrick I gotta respect Jaden for being that age and actually getting up and putting in the work to train as diligently as Jackie Chan. That’s one nepo baby that actually earned that role, imo.
Hi Honest Can we get a Eternal Sunshine review please & a video on George Michael and his impact on the music industry similar to a documentary & a video on Prince & his impact as well. 😁
UGH yes!!! I was so happy to see this video, WILLOW has carved out a name for herself and her voice / artistry is something to behold ^_^ nepo baby or no
The internet used to mock Jaden and Willow but looking back, they grew up with some crazy parents who didn't really model healthy behaviour for them. Jaden and Will were both Scientologists with weird, toxic behaviour and their household was likely not the most stable. That's not to say I don't acknowledge their privilege or think they are perfect, but I hope they are growing as people and don't repeat the cycles their parents' make.
Her music is really good. I had one of her songs on playlist for months and didn’t even know it was by her. The song just was a song I considered to be vibe and it got me looking into more into her music.
Honestly when I first saw a video of her I didn’t even know she was a child of a famous star, I just thought she was some random underground artist, will check some of her music out.
I’m happy for her. She did her own thing and didn’t let the industry dictate what she should be. She hated the cookie cutter pop star image her parents wanted her to have.
*MOST* people *WON'T* experience the *ABILITY* to wait and master ones own *CREATIVE* journey like Willow, especially in this *FAST PACE* industry now a days. However, I think she will be *SOLIDIFIED* in a few years and be amazing. Hard work is a bit of a reach considering she gained a following at such a young age. However, with the right people and motivation she surpassed that.
The thing that gets me about Willow is that she very easily COULD have follow the Hollywood it-girl/pop star blueprint and actively chose not to. She could’ve very easily gone the Selena Gomez, Britney, Rihanna, Brandy, Miley Cyrus route and joined the wholesome child star, turned teen idol, turned adult sex symbol pipeline. The path was laid out, that could have easily been the next 15 years of her life after whip my hair and she rejected it and rebelled 🙅🏽♀️ He rebelled not just musically but aesthetically. Nobody expected the pretty black girl, daughter of a Hollywood rapper to shave her head and make alt rock music. She’s gone against the grain time and time again and that makes her forever interesting to me. 🤔 she’s found an artistic voice that I her brother and father never quite found. I had ‘Empathogen’ on repeat yesterday, it’s a great album I hope the academy show it some love come Grammy season. 🤞
I love how she has grown as an artist, I think ppl criticize her because of her family and last name but she has tried to walk away from it, she is trying to create a name for herself
I didn't see anyone else mention it in the comments, but I also think this shift makes even more sense with the fact that her mother, Jada, also has a rock band called Wicked Wisdom.
She’s good but it’ll never come off real to me, sure she can experiment and do whatever she likes as she doesn’t need to worry about what the average person has to worry about… Compared to someone who actually comes with emotion she just sounds like experimental nepo music. It may seem different but it’s very nepo abstract
i dont listen to her but she feels very authentic in her new direction, i feel like shes doing what youre actually supposed to do with your nepo baby status, use the initial boost to build your own brand
Arent all celebrities now lgbt? You could had said all celebrities are not good. I too think they got the acting talents of a cardbox, but hey hollywood doesnt care about talent, they only care about the black couch and how far you're willing to go to get famous.

All he cared about was making her famous smh

Creativity ?
I think she’s one of the few nepo babies from gen z that’s genuinely talented in her own right
@@aotctdyeah did she stutter she’s VERY creative lol
She is ridiculously beautiful. She just pulls off SO many looks. She’s visually exciting to look at.
Alien beauty. Out of tjis world

I feel the same way & I remember both her & Jaiden got some pretty unnecessary backlash for their hair , clothing , sexuality , and opinions.
Literally for existing lol. And hated on by primarily middle-age adults.

I've just recently fallen in love with her music - it's really unique in this day
She’s such a fascinating artist!
Willow was how I was first introduced to SZA before she blew up with their song 9
Same!
Willow is definitely someone to watch. You can tell she wants to stand on her own, without her famous family. I’m so excited to see where she goes ❤
i was obsessed with her neo-soul and spiritual music as a teen and now i’m obsessed with her pop as an adult!! 🌟
would def say this last album is not pop
@@blknoname it’s honestly quite genre-bending but for a specific look on it it’s: darker pop with lots of jazz, r&b, singer-songwriter and some rock influences- she’s very versatile!

ardipithecus, coping mechanism, empathogen- insane albums ✨ her voice is incredible and she's so good at what she does.
Empathogon is a phenomenal album. Songs like Big Feelings & Symptoms of life are incredible
I love that she is reclaiming Rock music as a historically African American genre. I hope she makes she makes it big. Plus I can't wait for her tour with Childish Gambino
She is claiming Our Cultures, that are Multiracial, and that she didn't grow up in
Been a fan of her music ever since I heard "Female Energy Pt. 1" She is an *ARTISTE.*
Yessss me too! I love that song ❤
@@smilealwaysnatasha3423 Riiiight, I wish it was added to apple & spotify
If she wants to sing a cover, I’d love to hear her take on Diamonds by Rihanna💎☁️
I’ve seen a video comparing her to China Mcclain, and china killed her cover of diamonds by Rihanna, it would be interesting to see what Willow do with this song
uh no
YESSSSS, I love her omg. She makes bops and she super consistent. 🤌🏾
I saw Willow, I clicked.
She’s one of my current musical queens and I have a feeling she will be for a very long time 🥰👑💍
I adore her like her sound is so fresh n unique, empathogen has been on REPEAT!
Willow's symptom of life song really got me on a chockhold
I swearr.. The piano in the beginning is literally my ringtone🥺
so excited to see her open for Gambino in September!!
I hope she can escape the distortion field of her toxic family.❤
Me too
I love her work❤
Super happy with her journey as an artist! Her evolution is so inspiring to see
willow is literally a musical prodigy. 🤩

Willow is one of THE artists to listen to. Shes a fucking muscial genius and ypu can tell shes spent all her time perfecting her craft.
YASSSSSSSSSSS WILLOW
She is extremely talented! Whip my hair was on repeat, but her new music is so touching and introspective.
I don't like all of her music, but she's got some great hits in her discography. She has a bright future with her audience
I LOVE WILLOW, one of my favorite artist probably my favorite known artist
omg i am a STAN of willow she is a PHENOMENAL artist and she has grown so much!!! i listen to her album almost every day
coping mechanism is one of my favourite album ever
Honestly empathogen is the album of the year. Cannot stress that enough !!!
Loved the video but it would be nice if you mentioned her Soundcloud days, i still listen to that music religiously
I'm gonna say it, Willow is the only Smith (Trey excluded) that anyone has any respect for!
I love Trey's track with Willow and Jaden. I think it's called Find You Somewhere? I haven't listened to it in a bit, I'm gonna go listen to it after this.
Willow is the star of the track. But Trey made amazing beats too.

Good to see nepo babies with actual talent
She’s a Scorpio. Rules by Pluto and mars. Pluto rules extreme generational transformation and within the self. We are represented by the pheonix
Hey Honest, could you do a video on The Pretty Reckless? I’d love to hear your thoughts on Taylor Momsen’s band.
i love that band
my favorites!!
Summer fling was her switch and when she started experimenting and that’s when I really started listening to her. She’s definitely different.
I know that this is heeeella late but I’ve never heard you talk about Destin Conrad. Submissive 1 & 2 are still favorites of mine.
Idk what’s been taking me sooo long to get into her new album but I’m so ready after watching this.
UGH yes!!! I was so happy to see this video, WILLOW has carved out a name for herself and her voice / artistry is something to behold ^_^ nepo baby or no
Willow is definitely a very unique and special human being/Artist. I admire her versatility and growth.
I absolutely love her transformation!
The internet used to mock Jaden and Willow but looking back, they grew up with some crazy parents who didn't really model healthy behaviour for them.

That's not to say I don't acknowledge their privilege or think they are perfect, but I hope they are growing as people and don't repeat the cycles their parents' make.
Female Energy is still one of my absolute favorite Willow songs. I still go back to that one. So good.
Her music is really good. I had one of her songs on playlist for months and didn’t even know it was by her. The song just was a song I considered to be vibe and it got me looking into more into her music.
wait a minute did u miss something
Love Willow, always keeping it real
Honestly when I first saw a video of her I didn’t even know she was a child of a famous star, I just thought she was some random underground artist, will check some of her music out.
I wasn't sure at first but this last album has convinced me 😤
I’m happy for her. She did her own thing and didn’t let the industry dictate what she should be. She hated the cookie cutter pop star image her parents wanted her to have.
LoL She is literally ripping off Our Cultures, playing Dress UP with how we grew up
I love her new album!!!
"Willow" is my favoriteeeee Willow Smith Album !!!
I hope "Empathogen"' get nominated and wins lots of awards, I loved it.
I love Willow! I lovedddd ardipithecus and she just keeps making bangers. as a former emo, lately I feel everything was amazing.
I first heard transparent soul didnt know it was willow gotta say it's pretty good
i genuinely love her music
Whip my hair shook Nigeria media 😊
Lately I feel everything is definitely top 10 in best albums in past 3 years imo!!!
I love her music!!! The Smith family is so damn talented!!! When everyone goes left, they go right!
Rock & Roll 💗
I really like her style and voice

Nah “Summertime” hits harder than Willow’s entire catalog lmao 🤣 BUT I genuinely enjoy some of her songs. I love people who genre bend
Oh shes just so edgy

Cosplaying Our Cultures / How We Grew Up
I haven’t checked on Willow in a while, but is she identifying as non-binary now or something? 😂
