Will Smith & Big Sean – “Beautiful Scars”

Back in the late ’90s, Will Smith famously turned down the role of Neo in The Matrix so that he could play Jim West in Wild Wild West instead. As a result, The Matrix ended with a Rage Against The Machine needledrop rather than a song where Will Smith recaps the plot of The Matrix. What might’ve been! Earlier this week, Will Smith referred back to that Hollywood-history moment in teasers for “Beautiful Scars,” his new single with Big Sean. That Matrix-themed art almost overshadowed what might be the weirdest thing here: Will Smith has a new song with Big Sean? Yes, he does, and it’s out now.
