Willow Smith - Whip My Hair
Artist: Willow Smith
Producer: Jukebox
Album: Untitled Debut
Label: Roc Nation/Columbia
Do talented parents breed talented offspring? According to my thirty seconds of Google research, the matter is still up for debate. Whether the Will/Jada Pinkett-Smith progeny’s emergence as an artist in her own right has more to do with her inborn musical aptitude or Mom and Dad having the clout to talk business with J-Hova, though, one thing’s for damn sure: nine-year-old Roc Nation signee Willow Smith loves to “Whip [Her] Hair back and forth.” Despite the playground-appropriate subject matter, this single finds the precocious up-and-comer exhibiting swagger – and vocal abilities – well beyond her years. Over Jukebox‘s clattering instrumental, Smith shows off her pipes in larger-than-life verses, building herself up and brushing off the haters like a seasoned pro. Willow’s confidence is not to be denied, but is she destined for long-term success in the game? That, my friends, is for you to decide. Those who find themselves hair-whipping right along with Willow (or pretending, if you don’t have enough hair to whip) should keep it locked for the latest on her debut set, which has yet to receive a title or release date.
This song first appeared on the
R&B / Pop Chart

The "Whip My Hair" chorus is plain annoying - lets start and stop the complaints right there. Can you believe the voice on this little girl? I don't care who her folks are (yeah that helps), her voice is made for the radio (she seriously has shades of Rihanna in her vocals). Bright future.

Doubt very seriously that actual singing voice sounds like this. Auto tune makes anyone sound good. For a child this sounds very unchild like. But with big bank Will as her father it will be forced down our throats.

It's catchy, but I cant see myself bumping a 9 year olds music. Even Justin Beiber is a teen atleast.

First off- I can't hate even though all signs point to commercial garbage. Reasons:
1.The girl is NINE YEARS OLD and, even if you disregard the obvious electronically assisted parts of the track, has a great voice. 2. The concept is corny, but the type of catchy track that young girls can jam to and appreciate (leading to great hit potential.) It's not my cup of tea, but I definitely think little Willow has something going for her. |

Not to sound like a hater, but where would she be without her famous parents. The track itself wasn't bad and Willow may have some talent for a nine year old, but this was just a little too poppy for me. I'm sure the mainstream will eat this up. Hook wasn't too bad and there were segments that I did enjoy, so I'll give it a 2.5.

For a 9 year old it's sounds too mature, but no doubt I can see potential in her, dis song isn't bad either but it wasn't a great track, with the help of hova she will grow into a wonderful singer..

Let’s face it the only reason she is signed is because of her last name, and Jay’s no idiot he isn’t going to pass on some easy money. The song overall is alright, nothing special but enough to grab the attention of young teens.

I think Will Smith's proven he can not only make himself into a star, but his kids too. Willow's got a bright, financially assisted future ahead of her, but personally speaking, I'll never listen to this song again.

9 yrs old- wat do u expect? i dont like this, but i didnt have expectations, either. as far as 9 yr olds go, this is pretty much top shelf. she need time to grow and could have a very bright future. and by time, i mean like 10 yrs.

Willow came with a dope song, that caught the attention of Jay and according to an interview Jay had with Ryan Secrest on his radio talk show he didn't even know who Willow was. Jay just heard it was a hit record, and why the hell not sign her. Folks crazy for hating cause a 9 year old getting signed quicker than some 22, 25, and 27 year olds still trying to push way in the game. Peep the video on the girl, very mature and focus, has little to do with her being a Smith IMHO

ok lets all agree she has pull because of her parents lets stop stating the obvious, i predict she will catch on to the young demographic easily, and will smith will be grabbing that extra profit. this sounds like the remix could have nicki minaj how would that go over? hahaha
