  • Me and my cousins used to dance to this whole album I miss these days!!

  • 1999 5th grade graduation.... I miss my childhood.

  • willenium baby!!!!

  • hoooo haha haha

  • 9 people weren't invited to Will Smith's Y2K(sorry, Will2K) party

  • Damn i miss the 90's. from the year 2000 it all went downhill with everything.

  • i just wanna get up and start dancinnnnnnnnnnnnnnng!

  • Rap music that samples other music is like preparing a gourmet meal then taking a giant crap on it.

  • Unfortunately, this specific song refers only to 1999 New Years Eve. That being said, it may never be played on radio again.

  • FIRST CD I GOT , AND PLAYED IT ALL DAY EVERYDAY , THIS IS STILL MY FAV SONG . !

  • WOOOO HAHA NICE CLEAN RAP

  • Just out of curiosity, did the author of Rock the Casbah give permission to sample the song? I'd want enough money to retire and move to an isolated island.

  • @jwmellott pretty dumb question... obviously if they didn't give their permission then they'd have sued the pants off Will and his label by now...

    a little common sense goes a long way...

  • @Agnelum1 Rick James/Alonzo Miller claimed not to have given permission to MC Hammer. Bowie claims to have not given permission to Vanilla Ice. Stevie Wonder/Coolio claimed not to have given permission to Weird Al (not needed for a parody, but Al claims to ask as a courtesy).

    You have plenty of common sense for sure-- being a smart ass online only is a really smart move.

  • @jwmellott that's not "being a smart ass online", you numpty. it's statement of facts; if Will Smith and/or his label didn't have permission to use the sample, they'd have been sued and you'd have heard about it.... the same way you've heard about those other examples you cited. what's so hard to understand???

    and furthermore, given that practically ALL of Will Smith's "hits" sampled heavily, i don't think he'd have been so dumb as to not get permission. he'd be working in KFC right now...

  • Willenium... that gotta be one of the dumbest album title ever!

  • now this is a story all about how

  • Feels like yesterday.

  • ROCK THE CASBAH <3

  • not bad

    he's quite a humble man

  • That cd was freaking amazing!!

    This song kicks so much ass!

  • first cd i ever got

  • PURE TALENT.

  • This song is cringe-worthy. I just was curious as to what he did with the sample.

  • LOL just cant believe how many of u say that was his first CD cause it was my first too cheers from poland

  • Its crazy how many people act like they wasnt down with Will Smith at that time. This was one of my first CD's ever.

  • love this song. 

  • this tune is sampled from rock the casbah by the clash, i luv it

  • Funny how every single rap or hip hop video has some rant about auto-tuning as the highest rated comment. Every. Single. One.

  • This was the first CD i ever got.

  • All I can hear is The Clash - Rock the Casbah

  • omg this song came out when i was like 7...miss those days wit good hip-hop and r&b like this

  • @alexisgodschild93 muahaha i was o9 damn going on 21 this year and i totally feel you on good music. No gimmicks just talent

  • One of the best... Not as rappers like akon and lil wayne because they are fake

  • Will Smith is the last of a dying breed - guys who rap because they just love it. I think Eminem is getting there, and certainly his display of late has proven he's becoming a different guy, but Will hearkens back to a time when people rhymed because it was fun, not because it made them cool or because of the image. Rappers today don't do it for me. Try rapping when everyone is calling u racist names and dissing your art, when rapping WASN'T cool and you did it anyway because it was fun.

  • I am "LOVING" hearing Drew Hill in back ground ~HHHOOLLLLERON~

  • @2be1neurotic thats KC from KC n JoJo

  • @WarDaVicious Thank you I did not know that, it sounded like Drew Hill. Is that the same person in the back ground (KC) on Wild Wild West?

  • @2be1neurotic No Wild Wild West should be sisqo from drew hill

  • ITS TRACY MCGRADY!!!

  • Love this song:)

  • Comment removed

  • I haven't heard this song in years. Lol.

  • sounds like black eyed peas

  • Brings the good old memories of when i was a youth :)

  • Man! This really takes me way back. Then again, it also reminds me of the Y2K scare. Now these days it's the 2012 scare. :P

  • man, before the millinnium came, everything was so much better..

    sure we have better technology, but man you cant compare it to the 1900...

    i would trade all i have just to get back to the 80's...

  • Great song, great feel, great mood, and so much more. Definitely a classic cut with an infectious beat courtesy a' la The Clash. 

  • Happy new year!!!!

  • PUTS A SMILE ON MY FACE EVERYTIME I HERE THIS ....HAPPY NEW YEARS

  • The clash sample...will's got good taste in music.

  • HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

  • Happy new year everyone! :D

  • the true fresh prince

  • Hahaha I had this CD when I was like 9! Will Smith was so fucking fire back then. Ahhhh yeah, getting high to this shit. Feels good man.

  • This was the first album of Big Willie that I bought...old beautiful days on the beach...with no stress

  • @Turcolero stress is a choice, you are the master of your mental state, they say seeing is believing but they never reveal that believing is seeing.

  • @Diablo8586 mate I know stress depends on me but my life was kind of different. Now there is more thing to do and face :) thats what I meant:P

  • BIG BIG WILL SMITH !

  • i went to cornwall engand once,i know what he means,its wild .very wild .i saw someone towing their caravan and they didnt even have one of them extra long wing mirrors on,thats just crazy man.

  • 7 people are gunna get shot; By me.

  • Not a big Will Smith fan, but love this tune =)

  • One of my favorite Will Smith songs! I was 26 years old when the clock struck "2G"!!!

  • Funny how just 10 years ago, people thought the world would just end as soon as it hit 12:00 1/1/00.....

  • I used to be able to sing this whole song! I had this on casette XD.

  • Rock the cashbah is the back beat. listen carefully :)

  • @VAhockeyfan haha no need to listen carefully:D you can hear it véry clearly:P, thumbs up for recognizin the clash though:) peace

  • @VAhockeyfan my favorite song of all time

  • What a great song by great will!

  • Will Smith was so awesome back then... He needs to make a new album! 

  • such a happy song!

  • I am 20 years old & I was 9 when this song came out & used to have this on repeat 24/7 used to drive my Mum carzy was the best song.

  • @cli6065823 Me 2!! first cd i ever bought

  • He was right about it being the Willenium , cause will took over this decade and no his kids are following right after him in the next decade,, smith's for a lifetime !!!

  • I'll be honest I hate Rap music, it's just meaningless drivel about hoe's money and guns. But Will Smith is an exception. I also hate it when anyone tries to rip off a legendary song like Rock The Casbah by The Clash but again Willard can get away with it.

  • woooooooow i miss the hell outta this track

  • I looooved this song! Do you have the link for it? I have the album but it rips all jumpy because the CD is scratched :(.

  • Ha, I loved this song when the album was released. Do you have the download for it? I have the album, but its all scratched so it rips all jumpy :(.

  • Rock the casbah!!!

  • i remember i went in stood in line for this cd. haha will smith was that dude! when you're young & not techincally allowed to listen to real rap- haha. i would kill for the resources these kids these days have- :)

  • geez, and now it's more than another decade LATER. that was quick...

  • Rock the Will-Smith, Rock the Will-Smith!!!

    At 12-0 clock were gonna get Jiggy wit it.

  • ROCK THE CASBAH!

  • real nice rap music.... take them to school will

  • This was track 2 and the 1st single from Will's 2nd solo album "Willennium" and was the 7th song I learned by this hip guy with K-Ci by his side, I sang this song on January 24th 2010 for my classmate Kacie Carder for her 19th birthday.

  • its wonderful song of him

  • dammmmnmn like this music , i miss the old times

  • Awesome song, go on will!!!

  • @Ddint93 There is nothing wrong with taking a good beat or background of a song and changing it up and making it into a new song as long as you have the permission of the other musicians. Besides that, there are plenty of new songs coming out that are new compositions.

  • this is actually called sampling like someone here already mentioned, he could be sued if he ripped off this song off the clash without paying royalties - which i'm sure he did...

    i hate britney spears's music ... so i am not wasting my time on commenting her videos - i suggest you do the same!!!

  • wow what a poser. I know rappers just care about making money but please stop copying other peoples music because your too stupid to come up with your own shit.

    "Rock the Casbah" by the clash is the orginal version in case you were wondering

  • @Ddint93 kazbar... a new gay bar?!

  • @nasovsko wat

  • @Ddint93 Imitation is one of the highest forms of flattery.

  • love this song :D!!! and all his music ^^ and is this music background from the clash - rock da casbah :D? both songs i love really good music =d
