Fun Hip Hop

This is where Hip Hop was smart creative and sometimes funny. As in the case of DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, before the prince dropped his name and became Mr. Will Smith,they put out some terrific beats and slammin'cuts. Now I do agree that Will Smith's rhymes sometimes were way too silly, but then again that's the way he operates. This is first rate Hip Hop!!

They Say All Music Guide

Since it features all the charting singles, The Very Best of DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince contains just about everything that any disc jockey played by the duo, including lighthearted smart-ass favorites like “Girls Ain’t Nothing But Trouble” and “Parents Just Don’t Understand,” silly topical fluff like “A Nightmare on My Street” and “I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson,” surprisingly durable minor hits like “Brand New Funk” and “The Things U Do,” and even Jazzy Jeff’s nimble instrumental flipping of tracks by Bob James, the Mizell Brothers, and Marvin Gaye (“A Touch of Jazz”). One significant track that doesn’t appear is “You Saw My Blinker,” a rare example of cranky bitterness from the otherwise wisecracking, punchline-delivering Fresh Prince. The 1998 Greatest Hits release and 2003′s Platinum & Gold Collection aren’t much different from this set, so the best route to go is more dependent upon what’s available than brain-teasing comparisons of track listings. – Andy Kellman
