WILL SMITH PLANS TO REUNITE WITH JAZZY JEFF


 







April 17, 2007. MediaTakeOut.com has just learned that Will Smith is planning a reunion tour with his old partner Jazzy Jeff.

Will and Jazzy found fame in the 1980s and 1990s with hit records like Parents Just Don't Understand and Summertime, and won the first ever Grammy in the Rap category in 1989.

Now Will has promised to put his hugely successful movie career on hold to reunite with his old pal. Will explains, "We always talk about doing a Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince record and a huge tour, we just have to clear the time to do it. Right now, the plan is we are supposed to go out on tour together at the end of this year."

    Aren't they a little too old to come back as Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince? Remembering how they used to be, I just can't see it now. . .they've grown up.

    IF YOU DONT KNOW WHO JAZZY JEFF IS THEN YOU ARE STILL WET BEHIND THE EARS! HE PLAYED JAZZ ON THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR. HAS BEEN WITH WILL SINCE HE WAS THE FRESH PRINCE. PARENTS JUST DONT UNDERSTAND... RING A BELL!

    Will, Will, Will, please just concentrate on your film career. In my opinion I don't think people are going to be screaming for a Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince tour.

    you better RECOGNIZE, you may call him corny, but WILL is one of the most GIFTED LYRICIST there has ever been.

    Just because he ain't a THUG, doesn't mean he's corny.
    I been here since the BEGINNING of RAP (hip hop)and i've seen them ALL.


    FROM the Cold Crush bros, Jimmy Spicer, Crash Crew all the way up till the garbage that's out NOW and TRUST ME when i tell ya, he's still one of the baddest to ever touch a mic.

    I'm talking CONTENT, CADENCE (flow), ENUCIATION, at times, FUNKY AS HELL, all rolled up into one.

    This man deserves PROPS.


    You yuggins don't know GREATNESS, because you haven't been fed GREATNESS. You got garbage now.
     

    doingit_well
    Yeah Im with darnlovelync Will's days of rapping were over years ago. Now if they did a Fresh Prince of Bel Air show reunion thats another story. Jeffrey (the butler) now that's my boy. Dont nobody want to listen to those nursery rap rhymes.

    I knew when I seen this there were gonna be dumb ass people tryna go on Will First and foremost if he wants to reunite with his #1 partner im sure its more for fun than for a career move Will dont need to worry about record sells HE'S FILTHY he can buy a label just to have fun putting out albums if he wanted to yall kill me cause he rap about something other than degrading women and selling drugs he corny well guess what he a PAID cornball even more so than half these Bums in the game yall support but the brother that rap with some respect and dignity yall call corny , damn shame
     

    rexchap
    TELL EM CHINK.....they better recognize.
     

    realwoman
    Yep Will is from the era of more positive dance and have fun rap music. I don't care...I was so proud to see my son had a CD given to him from his camp counselors that had all those old school righteous heads on it. I was still pretty young when they were out, but I remember trying to do the dance tricks of kid n play rappig alongside KRS-1 and remember singing self destruction and actually GETTING the meaning. I wonder if they really knew what they were prophesizing...

    Remind ‘em of who they are !!!

    Jazzy Jeff is one of the best DJ's to EVER grace the tables. Y'all better recognize.

    This makes me remember the days when people actually went to the club to dance...Those were the days....You are so right rexchap and chink....
      ---------------
    Yes, I know how to use it.....

    tricknice
    O.k. now Jazzy Jeff he still got it. Ya'll better check the inside jackets of your cd covers for a lot of those hot Philly artists. Jill Scott, The Roots etc. Jazzy Jeff had something to do with it. But Will, I think you found your niche in movies. Leave the rap career alone. No one is really dogging you out yet because we all remember how hot Summertime was when it came out and how it still gets you a little hyped when you hear it on the radio now.
     

    WhackoD
    ah I remember jazzy now! i use to watch fresh prince all the time when I was little...they may be old but who knows, maybe they'll release a hit.
     

    Chinky
    ok WhackoD how old are you an what planet are you from hun....?

    Halle
    WHY!!!!!

    He needs to sit the hell DOWN, what! he thinks he'll be the better rapper, puhleeeesze!!!!
     

    vanessa801
    wow that would be so great to see you two back on stage again to put out some old school rap that's what our children need some clean rapping
     

    focus
    That is great! They were such a hit together and I loved Will's kind of "rap." His music was always clean.

    Back in the 90s, the gangsta rappers even started coming after him publicly and calling his style of rap (because it was clean) "Mickey Mouse Rap." That's okay, because you could dance to it, listen to it and even children could listen to it. Will said if he spoke improper English and degraded women, his mothe would've slapped him. Will is confident so I don't think he believes he's better than anyone.

    Bring on the reunion.

    tricknice: I think I gotta disagree with you althoug Jazzy Jeff is one of the greatest DJ's ever and he is major with the philly but the only songs I like from him and Will was Summertime and So Fresh. Will had hotter songs and bigger hits on his own Miami, Gettin Jiggy Wit It, Wild Wild West, Just the Two of Us, Men in Black. I always thaught those were way better than Parents Just Don't Understand but they were successful with it so I cant knock them just my opinion thats all!

    Was There Any REASONABLE DOUBT

    I would definitely check them out on tour.... summer summer summer time....lol

    WOW, we got some serious young'ins posting commnets! Did you not read that he was the 1st to score a grammy for RAP! And after all this time he can come back, I can name a few that got PAID & are broke and cant come back! You can play Smiths music on the radio in front of lil children! His song should be "Young'ns Just Dont Understand". LMAO! Oh and by the way right now while he is taking a break to tour with his rap, he is the most sought after, he beat out all the other actors! Folks need to know your past before you speak the present.

    Yeah these kids don't understand what it is. They don't even know the four elements of Hip Hop. Jeff is one helluva DJ. He still produces music to this day. Like the joint with Little Brother and Raheem Devaugn(did I spell that right?) I remember Jeff on "He's the DJ and I'm the Rapper" and "Home Base". He's one of the most talented DJs, when it comes to the scratch. Damn I feel old. Once you start talkin about music and how the kids just don't get it, you know it's over. For all of us 26 and over; do ya'll remember tryin to explain to your parents how hip hop was the shyt and it was good music, and how they just didn't get it? Now the shoe's on the other foot. These kids But yeah, big ups to Will and Jeff, show these new school cats and Sucker M.C.'s how it's done!

    Ah man... that would be fire!!! Jeff has been busy with numerous projects... the biggest one being JillScott... for those of you who don't know... Jeff is still holding it down... and I'm sure if they combine again and come out.. it'll sound NOTHING like what they did when they were younger! I'm all for it...

    DJ Jazzy Jeff: One of the best DJ's ever. Popularized the transformer scratch.

    Fresh Prince: Witty, and lytrical. Specialized in writing accesible and articulate rhymes. Rocks parties and shows like few can.

    I'd rather pay for their show than Mims or Rich Boy. At least I wouldn't get shot..LOL

    Everyone has been crying to get a black president. If anyone would listen or pay attention, you would clearly see that Mr. Smith is leaving every window of opportunity open for his chance to enter the world of politics. He has mentioned that he plans on running for president. The future president will not stoop so low as to compete with drug promoters in an effort to win cool points from you all. But, I bet that if and when he runs for president, those "corny raps" will become historical literature. As far as Jazzy, the greatest DJ on earth, he is doing very well in his endeavors. Jazzy is a national DJ. You can't find him in the yellow pages. You all didn't see him on the awards alongside 3 other indie DJ's paying tribute to the fallen Mix Master Jay. He tore those other DJ's a new one. I personally believe that without Jazzy there would have never been a Will Smith.
