  • Thumbs Up !!

  • fresh prince went H.A.M.

  • This is my new theme song!!!!

  • I don't understand why some people think it's necessary to express their opinions without using filthy language brazie43.

  • This song is so powerful, it's not even funny.

  • @SoggyHotDoggy funny name,lolz

  • Comment removed

  • i wish he made more to the song :I because this song is epic. he is the king of rap.

  • My favorite quote from Will Smith "Art Falls To Greed". Truer words haven't been spoken for this day and age.

  • H.A.M!!!

  • Nice

    

  • this is real rap. wen u can make good, successful rap like Will without all the cussing and gang stuff we got goin on in the other stuff, then u know u got something good. Im 15 years old and i cant stand most of the other rap. Will and a lil LLcoolJ is what i roll with

  • @randomfootball1 i would dub Will Smith as a R'n'B Rapper maybe that's why you like it

  • that sounds a lil bit like ice cube!

  • @The1Milan1 without all the cussin

    

  • I get goose bumps

  • 5 person went for jada

  • Its such a shame that this awsome song is ONLY TWO MINUTES!!!!!

  • @49Jacksonlrd It's cause that's all he needs to captivate about 140,000 people

  • why do i have the feeling that eminem ripped this song from him ?

  • @PalingLcw What'd you mean?

  • @alazrenda9 compare this song to the song "the way i am" and youll know what i mean

  • @PalingLcw Ooh okay :)

  • he is good but he isn't that good there are people that are better discovered and undiscovered skittles is a prime example

  • Will Smith sould be in the top MCs ever!!

  • I Really respect Will Smith. I respect how he has a family raised right, an amazing actor, amazing songs and how none of them have more than 1 swear! I think he takes pride in that too! Great Job Will!

  • this song makes be think of i am legend

  • Tellement dommage que cette chanson soit si courte, c'est tellement bon!

  • This is my RingBack. :-D

  • man this dude can really rap n hes also one of the greatest acters ive ever seen i respect will smith for everything he has done

  • This shit goes hard :D

  • Thats the best song i ever heard in my life...

  • one of my favorite songs

  • Love the sounds, I can listen to this stuff all the time.Watch out for new artist BRANDON JAROD. This guy is the next superstar! Release OCT. 2010

  • I really, really wish this song was longer. Not only the beat is tight but he speaks truth in his song!

  • @JaceMandel It was the introduction to one of his less-appreciated albums he released. Way back.

  • This was the first cd i ever got!!

  • i agree completly

  • i'm not a fan of hip hop and rap but will smith is just awesome

    will smith is the only hip hop rap that i like

  • will is such a corny motherfucker.

    I've never heard him rap and not cringe at how much of a cornball he is.

  • Awsome and epic

  • 1:25 was great

  • i heard that he is considering to add

    President of the United States

    to his ever so great talents/jobs he has so far...

    well according to his wife...she doesn't seem to happy about it though, mostly cause she doesn't want to be First Lady yet...

  • That'd be amazing xD

  • good song.. i like everything except "States have been altered by liquor by weed

    And then hate gets exalted as art falls to greed" i agree with the liquor part, but not really the weed part

  • he should've said drugs all together that would've been more truthful yeah weed is bad but drugs would've sounded more truthful.

  • i said that becuase i feel that weed is not bad.. but the liquor and other drugs are bad

  • I think he said "weed" just so it could rhyme with "greed".

  • @utubemyspaceaim so ur sayin its ok for people to get high and go around and crash their car into a store and people. when u put it that way, ur right weed is good

  • so, correct me if im wrong.. ur saying that weed ruins your judgement and your motor skills. if thats what your saying then you are wrong.. it doesnt.. im not saying its ok to drive while stoned because it would be safer not to... but it really doesnt mess with your ability to drive the way alcohol does.. and it sure as heck doesnt hinder your ability to make good choices

  • @utubemyspaceaim

    Never in the song did he say Weed RUINS your judgment. It does however alter it. It's medically classified as a psychoactive drug. Yes it does affect your motor skills, specifically, it's an effective muscle relaxant which can increase heart rate and change perception.

    That aside, you have to understand what he really means. The greed surrounding it has change the perception of young America. Violent crimes are committed due to weed. Don't believe me? Go to Compton.

  • i wasnt saying thats what he said i was responding to someone else's comment.. of course everyone knows its psychoactve.. thats why ppl take it lol.. i never said it doesnt change your motor skills i said it doesnt mess them up enough to cause a crazy car crash like the guy who commented said.. theres no violent crimes due to weed dude.. other than the trafficking of weed which might cause some violence, (but not as much as other drugs).. (and that violence wouldnt exist if weed was legal)

  • @Apoet916 there will always be crime associated with weed simply because it's illegal

  • @Apoet916 violent crimes are committed involving weed because its illegal and a crime to sell and possess. It's also worth a lot of money and people will fight and kill over it. Legalize.

  • @JWo215

    Hence me saying "the greed surrounding it"

    Yes, weed being illegal is part of the issue, seeing as how it enables the criminals to make money of it.

  • @utubemyspaceaim Do you have any idea what you just said?

  • @greenie224 yes

  • Resist the Illuminati's Borg agenda, grow a herb/veg garden!

  • @deagla2 ?

  • @utubemyspaceaim Will is wearing Freemasonic Addidas you know..watch my vids if you wnat to know!

  • @deagla2 okay, i was just confused as to what your initial reply had to do with my comment..

  • @utubemyspaceaim it doesnt matter..people need to embrace chaos today moreso than order..use your right brain to connect things rather than your left brain for reason.

  • @utubemyspaceaim Man, you must be on weed to make a moronic comment like that.

  • @mrk11d no i was not on weed when i made any of these comments.. we obviously have different knowledge and experience that causes us to have the views we have... but why are you so quick do dismiss and disrespect my view? i never said thinking weed is stupid, despite the fact that ppl who think weed is soo terrible have to some extent bought into the propaganda that has been fed to them... i used to think weed is bad, but now i gained some knowledge and i feel otherwise...

  • @utubemyspaceaim i know how ridiculous the claim sounds, i used to think it was dumb to think weed isn't bad, but now i know otherwise... and for the record, weed doesn't make you stupid

  • @utubemyspaceaim If weed doesnt make you stupid then what's your excuse? You can make these incredibly compelling and well justified claims, but the general spelling and grammatical errors in your arguement paint the picture of someone who destroy their mind with more than just THC. Go team?

  • @mrk11d you as well made a grammatical error... maybe not as many as i did.. but THIS IS YOUTUBE im not gonna spend time typing with perfect grammar.. and im not trying to win an argument as it seems you are.. im just getting my point across... what do you mean "more than just THC?"

  • @utubemyspaceaim

    You shot yourself in the head as soon as you acknowledged that weed alters perception. Have you ever noticed how some people can drink a little and be so wasted, compared to others who can drink twice that, three times that and not be as wasted? One size does NOT fit all with narcotics.

    So, my question for you is...do you accept responsibility for all people who smoke weed and all their teirs of consciousness irregardless if they are freaking out violently?

    Just sayin'

  • @Prometheus1st of course weed alters your perception.. THATS THE POINT... some ppl like to alter their perception of space and time.. for some it makes them think deeply.. for others its a spiritual thing.. and for others its just for fun... i only accept responsibility for myself... and freaking out violently from weed ALONE is virtually unheard of

  • @utubemyspaceaim

    Thanks for your reply. My Cousin must be the exception then. He smokes weed on the weekend and without fail melts down and tears something up in his house.

  • if will smith were to end his acting career at fresh prince and dedicate his life to raping, he would be the most savage, especially freestyle. but he still is pretty dope i like the record big willie style.  def, a pop rap icon.

  • Well, to dedicate your life to raping, you must be really stupid. You'll finally end up in jail and get raped yourself. Then maybe you get killed. Not to mention the people you hurt and their families.

    However I would agree with you if you meant "rapping"! ;p

  • lol

  • Yeah they hate on will but this is why, cause what he speaks is truth, this is hip hop at its finest tune.

  • YE HE IS!!!!

  • he is the king of rap

  • and i guess that bumps 50cents from king to prince of rap...haha! awesome!

  • @madjuljan -.-' !!!

  • @madjuljan homie of rap

  • @madjuljan i wouldnt go so far as to say hes the king of rap i mean u got tupac and eminem who are the king and the prince of rap

  • @brazie43 Please those guys are a bunch of tools. Will Smith doesn't let anything corrupt his art.

  • @Z3kedog bull shit tupac would fuck will smith up lyrically so would Eminem

  • @brazie43 Tupac was amazing no doubt, so is Eminem. I love them both for sure. Will Smith has far more talent than either one of them do though. Eminem drops Will Smith's name in his songs to sell more records, or at least did before he got huge. Tupac did a bit of lip syncing and dancing with Jada Pinkett to Will's song parent's just don't understand way back when. Will Smith won the first ever rap grammy. Will Smith wen triple platinum without needing to swear or degrade women. Will wins.

  • @KubzStinnett jus cus he went tripple platinum doesn't mean he has great talent it means he's famous and has a lot of fans. Em is very talented he lyrics are on a whole other level than anyone elses

  • @brazie43 He's not like Will tho

  • @brazie43 Fame has something to do with it, yes, but most don't get triple platinum don't get by with fans and fame alone. Will Smith IS talented, no doubt. So is Em and Tupac, but I have to admit, the fact that he can do what he does and not let a single curse word pass his lips is impressive.

  • @KubzStinnett Have to agree there. Will doesn't swear, unlike all other rappers out there, makes you wonder who else can do it like he does anyway ;)

  • this is the show we're doin this year in marchin band. lol this is our opener, then our 2nd song is i can't stop, and our closer is black suits comin i love will smith!!

  • Will is a damn legend!!!! Hail to the King of the Rhymin game!!!!

  • This was only a damn introduction to this album too.

  • My cousin Rick Rock made this beat.

  • I just love him !

    he is legend and the ones who doesn´t respect him : fack you !

    really he is so good !

    Respect for that incredible man !

    Our ability to choose who we are and who we are supposed to be...... ( this is just beautiful because you don´t have to act different then you really are ! be your self and believe in your self and you will see.. others will follow !

  • ay man u spelled fuck wrong

  • I really admire WIll Smith, he's just a great role model for our youth. I wish they wud latch on to people like him more than the Lil Waynes and the Yung JEezy's. He is so intelligent and he lives his life right. Just an amazing human being.

  • @mar27sha27 and he isnt like "drugs drugs kill kill fuck fuck bitch slut whore drugs drugs" in his songs :p which makes him my fav rapper ever

  • The best.

  • Will Smiths song are better then all of the rappers, rockers all together.

    his raps are not fast and hardcore...

    his are kinda slow and you can understand his words

    GO WILL SMITH!!!

  • hes got a style/ rhyme flow like the legendary Rakim hes got a nice mollow flow also and in some songs will songs vary similar. rakims worth checking out aswell song good old skool rhymes he influenced many rap artist since rakim was one of the first to really break through and make millions

  • this track is fire....Will Smith is one of the best rappers alive...he is commercial and doesnt rap about sex, drugs, and violence! he really makes a difference..i remember listening to his tracks in Domminican Republic...i didnt understand the lyrics back then but the tracks were hott!

  • amen

  • Will kicks ass people make fun of him just cause he is different youknow and a lot of son of a bitches just cant get him.he doesnt rap about cars bitches doin drugs and chains and stuff...i hate those ones who just raps about these shit.he is definitely not the best mc but much better than eg lilwayne,souljaboy etc...

    Anyway Nas 4 life;)

    Respect Big Will!

  • Too true. Will Smith is legit. Better than those other people. Although his album didn't do to well it's still pretty decent. I don't think it did as well because people just simply don't see him as a 'modern' rapper or don't even know that he does sing. i.e chains hanging low, baggy pants, explicit lyrics etc. He is a man of many talents.

  • I believe in God

    I believe in Destiny

    Not destiny in the sense of all our actions being pre-determined

    But destiny in the sense of our ability to choose

    Our ability to choose who we are and who we are supposed to be....

  • FRESH PRINCE! YEAH

  • This what I'm talkin bout.

  • Hold up for a sec will smith is better then a lot of these rapper today. I rap and I do underground and even i know that. I hate when people say some one cant rap because they are not new. Or they don't have a gangsta image. I people like Will LL Cool J or Rev Run start rapping about what these other rapper rap about it be trash. They are to old to be talking about killing and selling drug. People who say they suck really don't know any thing about rapper. It is really said.

  • i know what you mean

  • AMEN :D

  • BID WILL YEAHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i mean

    BIG WILL YEAHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • XDDD

  • yo will smith has been spiten learics since da 80s he was da first rapper to get a gramy so dnt be tlkin crap like he ain bad

  • try that once more in english please...

  • I haven't listened to much of Will's stuff, does he get any grittier than this in any of his earlier albums? I remember his songs for being fun, easy to get into, and actually being polite.

  • has to make a new album

  • OMG i know i made a comment already but my goodness i love this song dude rocks and its like it saying dont give up cause if u try real hard you're gonna kick ass when u grow up so hell yeah i love this song. U ROCK BIG WILL

  • i remember getting this cd and getting made fun of but seriously i dont give a fuck what any one says.. this cd and the lost and found cd had some tracks that shows will smith can actually write some good shit..

  • Someone doesn't know Hip Hop. Kids these days.

  • Im 14. His are the only Genre that i like! all the others are Stupid!

  • @Apoet916 Wow so true I agree 100%.... listen to this freestlye.... just sick.... I have this cd at home.... everytime I listen to it.... I listen to this track over and over.... the lyrics are just amazing and the message is so true.... ur so right.... kids nowadays don't what hiphop is. Thing is they rather be entertained then told the truth.... Will tells the truth and sends a message in his rhymes.... and ppl don't wanna hear that.... they rather be lied to.... so sad.

  • @lxJOKERxl kill yourself.

  • This is the best rap song i've heard i'm not gonna lie.

  • I love this part "Did you see his new benz But the mic is the syringe Now you proud of your binge Got a lot of new friends Got a lot of new ends Bought a house up in the hill Frontin shouts to the pen Giving false accounts Of your accounts amounts amounts to fan treason Stands to reason Since your inception Laced with deception And read false affection and must perish From my terrace"
  • I haven't heard this song in years.

  • pity, this song is too short !! i love it :p but so shoorrt :'(

  • yhyh is a shame would been dead good but was only a intro to the album

  • Good songs last shorter xD

  • hard musicccccccccccccccccccccc

  • Will Smith is my fav rapper

  • great song by one of the founding fathers of hip hop...and yea i know he doesnt cuss or anything like that, but so what??? jus think, he doesnt have to talk about ice, ho's, cars, or any other whack shit...i put him up there with dre, snoop, puffy, pac, B.I.G, LL and run dmc...

  • the fresh prince doing what he does best

  • i always liked will smith, i didnt know there were so many people that were really into his music like i am, good to hear :)

  • Will Smith, with the Born to Reign album in 2002. It's still being sold but personally I like the Willenium album.

  • Will Smith's been rapping since the 1990s Remindus.

  • ehm yeah so what are you trying to say?

    all my friends are really into underground hiphop and really make jokes about will smiths music , but i like his music and i see there are alot of people that like his music too, thats why i said good to see that there are alot of people that like him.

  • He's considered as a founder of hip hop as well as DMC, Grandmaster Flash, and others.

  • that doesnt mean that they are good :P

    rev run cant rap for shit if u ask me, maybe it was good for that time but hiphop has evolved

  • whether hip hop has evolved or not. the older tracks are always better. its da roots.

    also look at what the lyrics have become. from then to now.

  • I am not a big rap fan, But i love will smiths music, and DMC, I agree with jkryptonik. Music today is different on all levels, Rock hip hop ska and rap...Things change but the past is the best

  • this song is by far the very best song that i have ever heard in my whole entire life keep doing your thing will

  • Thats what Im talkin about Will, real talk! Original rapper, original actor, I know he won't go down as a corbon copy. He reppin God in this one too, RESPECT.
