Jaden Smith raps like his dad WillYoung Jaden Smith appears to have not only gotten the acting gene from his famous parents, but also the musical one. The son of superstars Will Smith and Jada Pinkett not only stars in the new “Karate Kid” remake, but he also jumps on one of the songs from the soundtrack. Smith busts a rhyme on the single “Never Say Never,” as a guest artist on the tune sung by teen sensation Justin Bieber. Smith appears in the music video, dancing a long side Bieber in the studio and spitting lyrics like “He’s older than me/and stronger than me/ And his arms a little bit longer than me/but he ain’t on a JB song with me.” His father is a Grammy Award winning rap artist and his mother has fronted the rock band Wicked Wisdom. |

Any body who say Jaden aint got talent is a hater, just cuz he got it all and everthing u neva had don't mean he can't act or rap.

I am ready to go see that movie, "Karate Kid". My little sister (Carly, 6) is a tom boy and thinks that she is Jackie Chan. It's so funny to watch her pretend to be him after she sees the movie previews/trailers... 8)
haters haters haters i hate all haters keep ur coments to ur selfs all u people that are all for will and jaden ur cool
Jaden Smith & Will Smith <3
People please stop commenting in Spooger post, he is either jealous or an idiot..if you feed him he want go away. Shoo...Spo shoo...
It appears no one has been feeding him. All his comments are followed with... silence.
Okay, so you are saying we should support Jaden. Though this is unrelated in terms of the persons involved, how about I ask you this question... should we support Miley Cyrus?
Just like you.
All the haters out there, wow! This kid is 11 years old trying to make it in showbiz. Obviously there is talent there. Why give this guy a hard time. Sure he has famous parents in which together would have produced child with Talent. While you guys are blaming his success on the money and fame of his parents, you forget that WIll Smith has an older son Trey. Who has decided not to go in the business. He attends college and not at all in the spot light, as he could be too. So give Jaden his props and lets see what he does with it. Instead of talking this kid down lets support him.
He looks cute in the movie and is probably doing a good job. But why call it the "Karate Kid'. In the preview they keep on saying kung fu this, kung fu that...he's doing kung fu not karate....so call it the "Kung Fu Kid".
I am reading these posts on here and a lot of people are bashing Will Smith and his son...Let's see, Will Smith – Grammy award winning, Oscar nominated rapper/actor – he must be good at something. And if Jaden got ther part because of his dad, I have just one question....WHO CARES??? If all those people who are bashing them were in the same situation and had the chance to help their kids do the sane? You would do it in a heartbeat. And those who say they wouldn't, I will call them a liar straight, no hesitation.
Lol!wow so much opinion on the upcoming kid of very famous parents in an old forgotten movie that will enjoy the rejuvenated interest in it!everyone of us deserve a shot at what we love..love life..don't hate but speak yo mind!
i am agree with you Christina too.
Jaden, you've got a great father! Will, you've got a great son!
Wish you both decades of successful acting (or whatever you will choose later) careers!
I'm wondering if you idiots were this negative about the remade Nightmare on Elm Street, or any of the other classics that found their way back to the big screen? I wish Jaden and his siblings (Trey and Willow) all the best, may they grow up to be all that they can be. Oh yeah bump the haters!!!
Will Smith should be concerned that a pedo like you is obsessed with his children. You need to be investigated.
So many movies have been remade. Some were successful, some weren't. Just let him do his thing. If it works, great! If not, then it's a lesson learned. Grow up people. Like my parents used to tell me, "If you don't have anything good to say about someone, then don't say anything at all."
Ok, its a shame so many people are so nasty to a little child who happens to have talent. But on the real, so what this little boy has an inside track. And whos to say he is not in school? How many children takeover the family business each year...what's wrong with that. I think there are more important issues in the world than this. So please you rude people...find something else to criticize on. he is a child! And by the way, until you see the movie don't hate!
I'm sick and tired of the whole family, nobody can act and every time I turn around there is another stupid movie from, what's his face? Oh! Will. The wife is the worst, and now the kid, too! Please do me a favor and take a long, very loong vacation with your cult members! Oh!, take Tom Cruise with you too!
Regina, sounds to me like you are JEALOUS:(
@ILUVJADEN....she's not jealous, she's right. You're the one with the questionable obsession with a little kid. Your nick should be enought warrent a full investigation pedo.
Well Regina why you hating all over Jaden Smith? Yes I mean i'm eleven and he's cute and I would date him but don't mean you gotta be going around hating. Because Jaden Smith and his whole family is very talented. Don't hate cuz they got money and you don't. THANK YOU VERY MUCH SHOW SOME RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How is he just like his father? I don't remember Will Smith's father buying him fame with his millions. This is just a spoiled little kid who needs a hair cut. The one thing his father won't be able to buy him is any talent. If this little boy has talent he will make it on his own.
Don't be hating because, Will don't need to buy him talent cuz he already got talent. Like I say to all the other haters, DON'T HATE APPRECIATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FIRST OF ALL HE DOSE'NT NEED A HAIR CUT BECAUSE HIS HAIR IS CUTE AND HES NOT SPOILED AND HE HAS MORE MONEY THAN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT SO GET CHA MONEY UP AND YES HE DO GOT TALENT AND GO TAKE YOUR GOGO BOOTS OFF BECAUSE YOUR PIMP JUST LEFT
Compared to Billy Ray Cyrus' kid, I will take Will Smith's any day...! LoL!
Seriously, Jaden seems promising, let's just give him a chance. I don't think Jaden wants to act or be famous like his dad, I think he just wants to be LIKE his dad and I don't see anything wrong with that because his dad and his mom for that matter are both GOOD people and deserving to be emulated.
Now that's original. Don't get enough Miley bashing on her articles, eh? Toad!
I think that all those who have negative things to say about Jaden or the Smith family should woory about their own children's futures. If you had the money and prestige that the Smith family has, you'd be doing the same thing for your children. If you have a problem with Jaden's talent, just make sure that the next child actor bashing won't be your own babies.....
"Jaden Smith raps like his dad Will" - translation: He is a terrible rapper.
If you mean he is a terrible rapper because he doesn't curse in his songs and doesn't rap about cars, money, girls, drugs, and the like, then perhaps your definition is correct. He rapped about relevant things (in some of his songs at least), and maybe he didn't do as good as the artists before him (the others were a LOT better and more relevant to issues of the time), but he's a lot better than rappers these days. I truly hope you don't consider anyone from "Young Money" to be good, because that would lead me to question your taste in music. I don't care much for his music these days, but if I had to pick between artists his name would pop up somewhere.
you mad becuz he is a better rapper then u
If Jaden Smith wants to be a successful musician, he'll learn NOT to rap like his dad.
I agree with you Christina. Of course the original Karate Kid was a great movie but before you folks knock poor Jaden,
see the movie first. He may have put his own spin on it. Its natural that he would pick up some interest in movies from his parents and someday, he could be famous on his own. But for now, let's see what the kid can do.
"He may have put his own spin on it." Oh really? Pretty sure Little Smith didn't put "his" spin on anything. He showed up, read some lines, did what the director told him, and that's it. The writer(s), director, and producer(s) are the creative (and I use that term loosely) forces behind it.
For the life of me I dont understand why people (jae, spooger & debra) chose to respond to this story by bashing an 11 year old. Grow up people. Whats wrong with a child wanting to be successful in life. You should only hope that your own kids will strive for more than what you accomplished in life.
Not to knock you on your comment, Christina, but Jaden pretty much had the inside track, seeing how his father is a very successful actor already established in Hollywood. Though many young people like Jaden find their opportunities through a stroke of luck, good connections, or hard work, you can't deny that Jaden probably wouldn't be as successful at his age if it wasn't for his dad. I'm also not trying to knock his natural abilities, either, but that's just a thought of mine.
re Christina...did you even read my post at all?????? I was not knocking the kid...he is a talented kid... I just don't think this movie is the right vehicle for his talent....remakes are rarely if ever better than the original....Jaden needs to break new ground not follow in someone else's footsteps....he had the talent for it.....
This kids just another no-talent punk that should be in school instead of riding his mommy and daddy's coattails. When he's 16 and washed up doing drugs and getting DUI's with the other creeps, you'll be the first one to bash him.
Christina, I hope someday you re-assess your measurement of "success in life" because you should hold nearly all professions in higher regard and consider them worthier and more "successful" than acting or rapping... If he goes to college and becomes an accomplish chemist, I will concede that he was successful in life. haha.
@Christina, I agree-
@Debra- how many movies have you produced to have such experience?
@Spooger- is a hater...how sad is your life?
@jae- you are hopeless with nothing to say.
What's a Spooger?
Spooger – Spit and Booger! Someone with severe and painful sinus drainage
@Sweet48.....My life is none of your business. Hypocrite!
thank you ! he did do gud andhe will do gud. he has the talent for anything he wants to do in life. he is striving for thebest. and other ppl better leave him alone cause ur kids might do better than wat u ever did!
oi,o jadem é muito lindooooooooooooooooo♥
I remember when I used to say, Wil Smith cannot act. He has gotten better, but way better than Ice-T will ever be although I love some of Ice-T's songs. Watch what happens to this kid when he cant be bigger than the Fresh Prince. I loved that they used a real martial artist as his teacher. nobody realized that. Mr. Miogi was great but that was like making a movie about bruce lee and using that guy from True Blood to play him. Or, portraying an American Hero who was the 1st to respond to the 911 terror in his Marine Uniform, who saved many lives, making a movie about him. One thing though, the real Marine was Black Man and they used a White man to play him in the movies. Man Gene Hackman would have been great portraying malcom x. or we should have Denzel portray Former President Bush. he could play a great idiot.
This little creep needs to go away....NOW!
Stop hating!!
Sure, just like you're NOT hating me. Hypocrite!
The only person that needs to dissapear is the haters and thats u
hes ot a creep. besides wat do u have against a kid.
dont hate u just mad cuz you dont have the talent that he gots jaden dont let them haters stop you from doing you k lil hommie oh yea love you in karate kid i watch that movie like 50 times seens it got out love you and do the damn thang and i love you dad too well hell i love your whole family
And like his Dad he needs to realize that remaking things may not be in his best interest...there was nothing wrong with the original Karate Kid...you are more talented than that Jaden....go for the substance...not the $$$$....
Well said. The original Karate Kid was a classic. Who could forget Joe Esposito's song which was featured in the movie? Ah, memories.
I agree completely that the original karate kid did not need to be remade. It was a classic and had a lesson well above what the new one is teaching. When it is a classic leave it alone. Just as our parents say "If it's not broken, don't fix it"
Daniel Larusso was a wimp in the original karate kid, he didn't know how to throw a punch in part 3 his girlfriend left him for a football player, enough said!! haha, It was good put needs someone that can hold his own, i hope Jaden is that person and the script is better than the first one.
He has been blessed with his own talent,great parents–best wishes for a bright future in a not so easy industry.Peace
He has been blessed with rich powerful parents and that's it – no talent – and way way too smug for any healthy kid - hope he learns modesty at some point
