Summertime

[spiegel]

Least realistic black family reunion ever! Where's the fried chicken?!?! Where's the watermelon?!?! Where the grape drank?!?! C'mon!

[Pnoymaster]

@spiegel thats not even funny.. racist

[ineptunes01]

When it gets warm outside my boss always asks me why I'm late.

I say, "Pshhh you can't speed through. Two miles an hour so everybody sees you!!"

[neilgodfreyy2k]

Anyone know why the Boom shake the room video is no where to be found in YouTube??it's nearly 20 years old so it can't have been removed for legal issues surely??

[jaronwells13]

@neilgodfreyy2k the FCC didnt dig it lmfao

[JusticeWordlawIV]

This song is amazing.. I love it

[Nacho773]

Lighter shade of brown - Sunday Afternoon

[timetocomeup]

[atlantalol]

Mane dat eagles snap-back on 3:34 go hard !

[pimps1986]

361,374 votes wtf? This song should have 13 million votes. This song is classic from start to finish. Justin Bieber has like 300 million votes and this does not, that's not fair! That's just my opinion btw!

THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE!!!

[Rileyfree]

@pimps1986 Fuck Beiber!!!!! Fa real!!!!!!!!!  He'll be gone, soon. Hopefully. I mean, to me, he's fading fast.

[nichaulass]

21 people like WinterTime!!

[phriesen]

so rad. rap for all ages

[deadbydestiny1]

i'm appalled at this song's lack of views. smh.

[to99ch99]

Watching these type of rap music videos you can relate to them not like now its about guns and bitches.

[Mroafcandy]

if it 'aint broke, then don't try to fix it!

[cjth90]

killer speed racer tee will lol

[busyhoneebee]

shoot i miss the 90 and the 80

[830615521]

The song I use to chill with.

[Youngcamdadon]

Will Smith was just dope something my grandma can listen to without worrying about a cuss word lol

[RobTheBernardinosaur]

I love this kind of hip-hop just having a good time you dont need thug ass niggas in the background just everyone loving life and rapping about the good times. That's what I liked about hip-hop it was real, it was whatever everyone else goes through.

[Crazed1255]

wish i could see more rap like this nowadays. I love this song and video so much. So chill and mellow.

[Crazed1255]

Yes I know that rap originated from black musicians and other artists from way back in the day. I meant to say black RAPPERS (not all black music) tend to get a bad wrap in the media spot light nowadays because either they think being violent and evil is cool, or theyve been told to do so by some company. A violent stereotype has been laid out before them and its like a trap.(like Isnows was saying) Compared to back in the day, when it was all about self expression and wasn't all about the money

[euphrcdaydrm20]

Oh jeez, now I feel dumb. I didn't know Will Smith used to be a rapper...

[WarDaVicious]

@euphrcdaydrm20 you tryna tell me you never heard gettin jiggy wit it?!!

[euphrcdaydrm20]

@WarDaVicious Haha I don't think so. But now I'm gonna look it up..

[WarDaVicious]

@euphrcdaydrm20 Wow where have you been lmao.

[TAYLORRYAY]

hahahahahahah @ 1:48

[KidNA215]

this dat work 215,

[lsnows]

What a great song. What a great time the pre-gangsta rap 90s were! Back in the day, black music didn't have to be about murder, gangs, mysogyny and drugs and shit. Too bad the music industry makes too much money making African-Americans look violent, mysogynistic and backward.

On a lighter note: thanks for the post.

[jaronwells13]

@lsnows in a way that sounds fucked up Blacks wasnt the only 1s who talked about drugs or killing people etc. and why you got to say Black Music for? its called Rap Sucka ,you make white people look bad.

[Crazed1255]

@jaronwells13 He said black music because its music made by black people. Its not racist its the truth because black people are portrayed as evil and violent in the media today, not whites. To be honest for me theres no real difference between a black and a white or whatever, they are all just people to me. But the fact is the world sees them as different....aka the media...and thats what he was talking about.

[jaronwells13]

@Crazed1255 whites rap hell without jazz and blues there would b no rap/hip hop

[SuperWilliams6]

59 people don't like real music

[152psycho]

god i wish it was summer girls lookin fine, layin about in the sun, BBQ's dont get any better who agrees?

[MrLookitup]

@152psycho actualy i does if you get lucky a few times :) then that sets your whole summer

[piczilla2011]

a wicked hol in swanage with my bestest buddy maz in the 90s xx

[sereno353]

This song has an infinity sound style,without action replay ,and so Will like a great papper make his flow on this! and then born an evergreen work! ! for my past summer ,for yours! for any our best memento!!!!!

[aduran91017]

Bout to hop in the hot tube time machine.....Who's coming along?

[Rileyfree]

@aduran91017 I will.

[yungj13]

I was born in 93' but most of the old rap is better then the new

[Rileyfree]

@yungj13 92 for me, and I say the same thing.

[bestiscc]

This is ideal rap in my book!!!! Will talks about havin fun in Philly and not 1 time does he call a woman a bitch , hoe or any other degradin name. Nigga this & nigga that - U just dont hear it. And guess what.......... it still was a hit - no.1 on the charts!!!! Oh and don't forget that Grammy!

[Mush619]

oh how i miss you summer :(

[sereno353]

This song is still....fresh Will & Jazzy are top class!!

[Bigole58]

Are they still friends-- this is nice

[momoneyindabank4]

This song sounds great and feel great. Sure is nice to see videos where every bodies having fun young and old and we ain't talking about hater this or how I'm better than you crap. Fact all of us can really just relate to the summer atmosphere.Sad part is music won't ever return to this. We will forever be trapped in this nigga hating on me bullshit all day.

[kelly980]

They were so cool!!! I love how they were so goofy and didn't take themselves seriously like the idiots we have today. 

[littlejellybeanful]

<3 . . . dreaming of summer!

[RAWRadd]

[HellsNaughtyAngel16]

[qadree70]

this may not be da best vid ever, but this is hands down, da best song ever made in hip-hop, white people luv it, black people love it, punk rockers metalheads, hell, maybe even Amish dudes luv it.

[DoYouDigItNow]

I love the Go Speed Racer Go shirt in a rap video.

[itshann]

I'm here in England, while there's really heavy snow outside and this really cheers me up!!

[cfwbdude]

[mikieson]

I miss the 80s and early 90s..I miss the YOUNG Will Smith. I dont like this new old guy we see..Seems his wife has totally made him something he isnt...

[Rileyfree]

@mikieson You really think so? That does seem true. Will did start change ever since they first married. By the way, I like 80s and 90s. Even though I was born in 92

[SnoopDoxey]

@Rileyfree I can't thumbs up enough!

[Rileyfree]

@SnoopDoxey KEEP TRYING!!!!!!!!

[ZaydelZemirah]

play this very loud when the summer starts an you have a big cookout while every is have a good time playing cards an the family is not argueing over a hand(lol) an it will feel like the best cookout ever. thumbs up if you agree.

[rob2373]

Great Song! Great Year! A nice little tid bit about the songs base line tune. Kool & the Gang's Summer Madness song from the album "Love & Understanding" of 1976, in which ase happens to be mentioned in the lyrics if you listen closely. If you havent heard of this song or havent heard it yet, then check it out. I recommend the remastered version best or better yet, the LP. But in any case, its an awesome sounding song and it sounds even more awesome on the right stereo equipment.

[turntableNmicrophone]

thumbs up if you came here causa atmosphere's lyric in 'sunshine'

[SandstromFilms]

Can someone give me the name of the white shirt he's wearing? (not the speed racer one). I really need to buy one of those ;D

It's 25 degrees Farenheit right now and it's not supposed to stop raining/snowing/sleeting for the next 4 days... but as far as I'm concerned it's summer for the next 4 minutes and 7 seconds.

[3w0lf]

[accounthi]

[attenchon]

@accounthi this or summer time in the LBC by the Dove Shack

[TONVNO1]

i totally agree this song makes the summer time come to life.

[123mischief]

@accounthi its a shame it dosent nomore

[MscBlggr]

@accounthi EXACTLY! I don't even get excited for summer until the first time I hear it.

[Sammydepammy]

Bring on that BBQ!!

[wesson120894]

i missed this song

[spiegel]

That was the fakest black family reunion I've ever seen. WHERE WAS THE FRIED CHICKEN?!?!? I saw plenty of burgers and dogs but no fried chicken. No watermellon either. What the hell!!! Video must have been directed by a white man.

[lafindumond]

i saw biscuits.. i'm assuming there was some fried chicken SOMEWHERE.. the extras probably ate it all before the take though..

[lafindumond]

i see biscuits! i bet there WAS fried chicken and watermelon at one point, but the extras ate it all before they could get the shot.

[spiegel]

LOL Yeah, you're probably right. They could have at least showed the giant pile of chicken bones and watermellon rinds left behind in a pile on the ground. Now that Will is the biggest star in Hollywood, he should come back and reshoot this video so it's historically accurate.

[danielrowntree]

Good music is good music regardless of who listens to it. And this is an absolute gem!!! (I'm a white guy from Australia who grew up listening to ultramag, Pete Rock/CL and EPMD ssssoooooo.....)

[JamKar1]

But it's SUMMERTIME! Aint no disagreement here.

[fuc6theworld14]

where can i find the summertime song i have no idea who its from but he's like rapping and its like really old song maybe two yrs or something. plz tell me if any of u have any idea of something im talking about? anything? well if u do plz reply. (i dont even no if the song is called summertime its something like it)

[typ044]

if youre talking about the sample in the background its Kool & the gangs "summer madness"

from their '74 album "light of worlds"

[ZEANski]

the MC & the DJ... classic!

[nisha9800]

he looks good.. lol i so love will smith!!!!!!

[bsilver887]

crazy duo.

[TheIceman1980]

this is timeless, so good.

[dub1681]

can you believe this shit won a grammy...beating out Public Enemy

the grammys are the special olympics of award shows.

[uncobone71]

Takes me back always to summer '91. To this day this is the summer time jam!

[cinnaminson]

So true!

[fatal8260]

wow when iam hearing this song iam thinking about the old days... iam i right plz.9_9

[19LadyBlack95]

It´s not so good! It´s not for me

[bsilver887]

yeah you go listen to britney spears and other crap while i'll stick to something good.

[kevinclauwaerdt]

this was music back then, unlike the music now, britney freaking out spears, lindsay boobjab logan, and all those other posers, been almost nude in video's...back then music had a story in video and song

[kerblu]

cool...

[TheMainMan318]

this song will be remembered FOREVER it brings me back its just so real music is nowhere close today you just dont get the same feeling

[julesandflossy]

best summer anthem EVER!!! Makes me happy listening to it!!

[cinnaminson]

This is the ultimate summer classic right here. Summer Summer Summertime

[ronjonjct]

Will Smith is the best rapper ever, he never uses the word nigger or "pop a cap" in n e of his songs, his lyrics are just so good!!! Also Jazzy Jeff is easily the best DJ ever...I Recomend n e 1 2 buy/listen 2 DJ Jazzyn Jeff-The Return Of the Magnificent

I wonder if Will and Jazzy Jeff still hang out with each other?
