Yes, you read that correctly.

You can read this ghastly news here at ComingSoon.net, just skip to the last paragraph.

Just 2 little words for my biggest headache ever: Will Smith. Why do I dread this guy?

A JW theme is the holy grail of hip-hop?That's kind of cool,actually.

How very nice. They get to the holy grail... and then rape it.

Maybe this is why JW took a year off of scoring...? He certainly will make a boatload of money off of this, no pun intended. LOL

Another exciting thing is that Steven [spielberg] has never released the theme to 'Jaws' before and this the gold mine

Ahhh...ignorance is bliss.

lol. This isn't the first time JW's been sampled. My friend had a Rap Mixtape, and it had the Ending Credits music from Jurassic Park in it. The thing was, it didnt sound half bad. 8O

The producer who sampled the beat is named Swizz Beatz, and the song was called Jurassic Harlem. In case anyone wanted to hear it. I just wonder what the Jaws Theme will sound like. Especially since Will Smith isn't the rapper he used to be.

But I have to hand it to rap. Even though it's starting to all sound the same, the producers keep getting better and better.

Especially this one producer named Timbaland. I think he's one of the best producers out there, I mean, who else could have made a beat for Justin Timberlake sound as good as it did. I was very suprised when I heard that Cry me a River song. The producer did a great job on it and so I'm not too skeptical on how this Jaws theme will turn out in a Hip-hop format.

Will Smith writes good songs... for Eminem to poke fun at.

[MrScratch 296]

Rap is crap. Its pointless, it only seems to exist to make money and bigger egos for the "artists". At its best, it is funny and creative. At its worst, its downright stealing and bland. Either way, its not music. I would never choose to listen to rap and I would certainly never waste any money on it.

There's a heavy metal version of Williams Lost in Space theme on the Lost in Space movie soundtrack.

There was also a big dance hit a few Christmas' ago here in the UK that used 'Merry Christmas' from 'Home Alone 2', scary but true!

I just *love* the way that the Beastie Boys sample both the Jaws theme and the psycho theme at the same time in Paul's Boutique "Eggman". I mean, in that simple short song, they sample Williams' Jaws, Herrmann's Psycho, Herrmann's Cape Fear, "Dance to the Music" by Sly and the Family Stone, Funkadelic, Public Enemy, Curtis Mayfield, Kool & the Gang and Towers of Powers. How cool is that?

But then again, there's about a hundred sampled work in Pauls Boutique, an incredible album.

My favorite oxymoron is 'rap music.'

There's also a techno version of the theme, found on either early ZYX's Techno Trax (vol. 1 thru 6) or some trance compilations. It must have been released around 1991-1993, alongside the back-then-popular techno version Star Trek theme (performed by Orion). They were quite good. Zillion times better than any rap stuff to me.

I still have some old techno compilations at home (nostalgia matter) so I'll check to make sure where the themes appear.

...or as Dave Barry quipped in a mock quiz in one of his columns, "What's the difference between hip-hop and music?"

It's about time they aspired to something above their level of complexity...
