great song, great performance! the performance aspect of rap has really dropped to horrendous levels since the early 90s ... now it's just a bunch of hangers-on on stage, screaming over every punchline.
look out for peedi crakk's remake of this song, so dope.
You know they talk about Will not getting tired...If you've ever been a real DJ, you would know what Jeff is doing, not only took skill but endurance! Boy Bad...And, never missed a beat...
you all are wrong. will smith is an insane rapper. he can flow, and he has a hype personality unlike other monotone rappers that can bore the crap out of you in a matter of minutes. jazzy did not back up a "wack rapper". you must all think he's too cheesy and doesnt cuss enough in his lyrics.
@metalupurass11 I agree 100 percent Ive been saying that Will Smith aka Fresh Prince can flow and is dope for years. he just knew that he wasnt a gangster and stuck to his true self
this is the fresh prince and jazzy jeff that i fell in love with in the 80's. most folks think of them as being cheesy and soft... but jazzy jeff is an amazing dj/producer and will actually has a good flow. love it! thanks for posting.
DJ Jazzy Jeff was one of the dopest DJ's around. It's just a damn shame that he hooked up with a whack rapper. It's like putting pearls on a swines neck.
@killermel23 It's because he went solo after he went all Hollywood, so he had to figure out how to appeal to the white people that didn't like rap before Men In Black.
I dont even like rap hardly at all and when he does it I like it! it shows you how good he is and news flash you dont have to be a rapper to swear and say gangster stuff. And I can understand what he says! Hes the real deal none of those stupid ass rappers that only care about themselves and shit fuck that. lovee him and jazzy jeff and how does he not get tired? I would have collapsed and died lol
thats stupid those stupid supposebly hard asses would make fun of him because he wasnt hard enough? Thats so stupid some of those guys probably just right about that crap but never lived it and whats so hard about talking about violence and drugs and shit? Its stupid and Wills the greatest those peeps were just jealous cause they could never be like him.
can anybody name one group oops i mean rapper that can do this now? Will is an m.c. not one of these southern drawl chicken head yappers!. Your suppose to rock with the crowd you feed off what YOUR dj does that's a show!!!
Will is one of the illest. Cats who know the craft and can think for themselves know what's up. Rappers tried to clown him when he broke away from only rapping to doing movies and tv. Now some of your nicest emcees are thirsty to make their way to the big screen. More money in movies than in music...trust!
i dont care what anybody says about will smith. he rocked that shit with no hype man and never ran out of breath! thats a real mc in my eyes! most rappers got about 15 guys on the stage all shouting at once!
@howeverclever YEAH!!!! Thats when MC's were REALLY MC's--Masters of Ceremonies... The whole mission was to have fun and move the crowd. Not talk about b**ches, h**s, whips, jewelry, and AUTOTUNE!!! (Ugh...)
Ok so with this proformance we all know why Jazzy and Prince are hailed as Philly's finest. I want to take your thoughts to a new level. The rap is about a song that was hot and popping at the club, which made this joint hot and popping. Genius!!!
why people acting like jazzy jeff is some flunky side kick to the prince- jazzy jeff is one of the greatest producers in hip hop-the man is a legend! and will was a dope emcee outside of the commercial hits they had!---LIVE FROM NYC----
I agree. Surprisingly I've always liked Will Smith depsite being a fan of far more intellectual forms of hip-hop. I think he's one of the few artists who tried to stick with the feel of the late 80's/early 90's because that's what he liked, just like how he keeps it clean because that what he wants to do. He's always been a decent rapper and Jeff's always been decent on the decks. People (including lots of my hip-hop buddies) slate him for being soft, but I respect him for it.
Someone pretty please please please with sugar on top tell me where i can find an audio version of this. Buy, download I don't care. PLEAAASSSSEEEE!!!!!!!!
i loveeeeeee will smith. and the people that said hes cheesy...haha say whateva u wanna say the man is worth MILLIONS...MILLIONS DO U HEAR ME? hes a fuckin legend in the entertainment industry..and i love him
Your 13 and also proved your parents shouldve used worn protection before birthing you but i forgive them we all make mistakes but you can make life better for the world if u fill your bathtub with water sit in an use ur computer in it trust me its better if your bring in while on
they all work with overbrook i think. i saw pics of the whole crew as hey are today. charlie mack is a promoter. omar is like an agent. wiz..i forgot what he does. ready rock is "saved" and doesn't really talk to the crew
dude... holla at dj q-bert... best dj in all the land... reppin the 415... bay area, california... we trend setters out here... go back to school kids and learn your history...
lol@utah...but seriously dude only philly djs are smooth like this...ny has some nice one's too but philly is the home of dj ing...do a search on "dj cash money" to see some more nice philly dj ing
will smith is the shit for one reason. When everyone else fell in line with the harcore rap scene to sell he stuck to his guns and kept it clean. And look how it worked out for him. A hit TV Show and a bad ass movie career. people can talk on him, im sure he cares.
Love the video! This takes me back to my teenage years! Almost 20 years since I first saw them in concert performing this song, and it still sounds tight as ever!!!
ok...seein' how they don't have 2 foot high flat tops...i'm guessin' they did this a long time after the original (a testiment to there skill)..
but this was on the tape (yes no CD's back then) that i first took notice of TFP & DJJJ...i must hunt down a copy of "the reverend", the best song on the album.
I love these comments. There's some people left out there that love REAL hip-hop!
