Rap-Up.com || Video: Willow Smith

Watch out world. There’s a new kid on the block. Willow Smith, the nine-year-old daughter of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, is in a class of her own in the breakout video for her empowering anthem “Whip My Hair,” the first single from her Roc Nation debut. The pint-sized fashionista rocks the school halls while whipping her hair back and forth in the vibrant Ray Kay-directed clip (Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga).

“I think this video will be considered iconic in the future,” Ray tells Rap-Up.com. “Willow is definitely here to stay, she’s a superstar. I think we managed to create a fresh expression using Willow’s amazing energy, a positive and inspiring concept, and mixing the colors of the sets with Willow’s fashion, which consisted of custom-made clothing and exclusive One Z jumpsuits. She’s a trendsetter already and I’m sure others will be copying her style soon!”

Whip open the video below and witness the birth of a star.

International viewers can watch the video here.

I like the video and i agreewith a few of the guys about her showing certain artists a thing or two. i feel sad liking this, as it’s something that my niece would listen to not some one over 20 years of age, i feel shame lol.

Willow Smith – WMH (Remix)

I smack a goat back and forth(8x)

I’m about to go get my snatch on
Over at Daily and Navy, red weaves – I’m ripping off
I’m not doing nothing wrong, so don’t tell me nothing
I just making a bajan mad, so don’t start trippin
That’s wassup! …Yeah
we’re heading out to the farm and running up to them goats – to kill them off, kill them off, kill them off, kill them off

Rockstar immitators have stepped out of line
Their tone deaf singing is a crime
I’m tired of epic faaaails…
I’ll outshine them, ’til they feel like giving up…

I LIKE IT! THAT LIL’ GIRL KILT IT! And yes, it is age-appropriate. I see her daddy in her, too, just like Jaden (wasn’t that him in the video dancing?). Gonna watch it again!

P.S. I like Rihanna okay but when I watched the vid and heard the song the only thing I was thinking was “Willow” and no other artist. She did HER thing.

P.P.S. Thank you Rap-Up for responding to the international fans for posting an alternate place to view!

Go Willow!!! This is definitely song/video of the year. Clean. Age-Appropriate. Colorful. Fun. The fact that she’s only NINE is just icing on the cake. (Let’s not forget Michael & Stevie Wonder started at EIGHT.) It goes to show that “age ain’t nothin’ but a number”; if you’ve got God-given talent, WORK IT – that’s what we’re created to do (not watch TV and play video games all day)! At 33 yrs old, I am definitely whipping my hair to this song!
