Love Kool Moe Dee's original "Wild Wild West," and figure Will Smith covering it with Moe Dee's help can't be too bad, though I'm not sure when I've actually listened to it.
omg

xp Yeah, duh, the Will Smith isn't technically a "cover," right? Just an interpolation, or update, or whatever. I knew that, fwiw. (Not sure what it is supposed to be. Just didn't leave as negative an impression as Marky Mark, because it never left an impression at all. Surprised it was a #1, tbh.)
Now wondering if maybe should have voted for "Tha Crossroads," which I appreciate in theory but was always tedious to get through when it was actually on.

it really is disgusting and stomach turning how in the late-90s/early-00s we had all these "going straight to THE WILD WILD WEST" or "Here come the MEN IN BLACK" or poor Destiny Child "CHARLIE how your ANGELS get down like that?" hit singles that are basically ads that hold up like shit two years later.
it's like if Survivor was all "ROCKY! ROCK ROCK ROCK! ROCK ROCK ROCKYYYYYYY!" or "Theme From A Summer Place" was like how Jasper sang it on the Simpsons

(whether it's an accurate take or not) it seemed extremely gauche for the guy who inserted himself into Biggie songs to then monetize Biggie's death. and then to do that while ripping off (there's sampling, and then there's ripping off) a very well-known hit, his seemingly only contribution being his limp, emotionless vocals...was a bridge to far for most.

it was a charity single whose substantial revenues (it was turning a profit after about 500k sold, and it went on to do >3 million) were funneled into a trust fund for biggie's children... and literally the majority of sean combs's hits during that era sampled-and/or-ripped-off other songs that had already been well known hits in their own right. i guess including the song on his own album was questionable
