Still an underrated MC. People love to act like this man wasn’t a rap pioneer. Put some respect on his name!!!

[brodericksimpson]

He and Jeff won the first Grammy for hip hop and people act like it didn't happen because they weren't cursing or rapping about the streets. They also brought hip hop to primetime TV with the Fresh Prince.

[ikejay]

I love how Martin is amazed at Will showcasing his first love and talent

[GOGOJESUZ]

Never gets mentioned as one of the BEST story telling MCs ever

And brand new funk will never ever get old … that flow is TIMELESS

[StoneGone]

This is probably about thirty years later and it still gives me chills to hear that Fresh Prince verse and Jazzy Jeff scratching the records.

[bustingcaps]

you see will smith don't get the credit he deserves as a lyricists...he killed it

[johnnightshade]

That cut is still dope, and to hear him do it live was crazy.

[jamesrichardson]

This song is over 30 years old but he performed like he he wrote it yesterday. No rehearsal, no stumbles just took the mic and recite. Real skill

[StevenC]

It's amazing how he can still remember those lyrics 32 years later. That is why he is one of the greatest rappers of all time. He can rap without swearing too.

[JettyVision]

Will still makes this a hit even in today’s hip hop .

[MySuperman]

Always thought Will Smith was a dope MC especially in his prime. What makes him even more talented as a musician is that he never had to curse and was able to reach all cultures of people.

[williamcalhoun]

This sounded better than the actual That's what a legend sound

[whitebuffaloblacksheep]

It's easy to forget that will smith is a super talented emcee

[kingwill]

Will Smith is the true embodiment of what hip-hop is

[TheBraunMachine]

2:13 Will always had insane flow, he's still got it, ain't miss a beat. This was great. :)

[alpowe]

Man, I'm still rocking this joint in 2020. I can't be the only one.

[keeploc]

You gotta put Will Smith in your M.C great categories.. he’s definitely a legend who catapulted hiphop👊🏾

[rizenhower]

He was born to perform! Content is important in rap, but delivery is a lost art form. Will Smith is from a time when Rappers didn’t feel above their audience and wanted to entertain first and foremost.

[tamaradavis]

30 years later and he STILL remembers and ROCKED it!!!!

[fredwatsonjr.]

I was 16 when this came out...I swear I broke my boom box playing this over and over...One of my all time favorites....
