      @@vernonjohnson1198 Well, I knew that the human beat boxes disappeared. It is still a shame when a band comes up and then suddenly, sorry, got no use for you. Good bye. I know, he wasn't as central to the groups; success. His name wasn't on the album. Still sad though.

    This is a jam and Will Smith could rap his ass off. Jazzy Jeff is a a hell of a DJ. He has a routine on RUclips where he's cutting up Peter Piper by Run DMC. It's worth taking a look at.

    He wasn’t coming out of the box. Most of hip hop was fun and clean. The exceptions were the harder stuff... it all started to head in the other direction in the late 80’s. He was just one of the few that stayed true to himself and still stayed relevant. The West coast rappers changed it all. The Chronic by Dre took filth mainstream. And the change over was complete with Snoop’s first album. NWA was around, but they were not at all mainstream... I know their movie makes it seem otherwise, but they were on the fringe.

    Him not cursing was actually a plus thing for him. This was lyrically better then most things out at the time, this "Brand New Funk" specifically made hip hop lovers like myself raise an eyebrow. The "Get Down" is James Brown, and yes, Will was getting down. Jazzy Jeff has been my favorite DJ forever (I mean, my first favorite was Scott LaRock)... I mean even now he jams overseas, hear, everywhere. You can look him up playing around with modern DJ's as well.

    I love this version of the song. It's a little different from the album version, particularly having more scratches from Jeff. My theory is that Will wasn't quite up to lip synching his rap so they put this together out of a live version and having him re-record other parts for the taping. Not sure if that's how it came about (if so then Will learned to lip-synch really fast after this) but it's definitely more raw than the other..

  • @CP-wh1md
    @CP-wh1md 2 года назад +7

    The album version was better. The repeats take away from just how smooth Will Smith’s flow was in this song. Definitely some of Jeff’s best work.

    This came out in 1988. Same album as Parent Just Don't Understand. The album is called "He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper."
    Between this album and Young MC's "Stone Cold Rhymin', life was good. You're right, these guys were competing with M.C. Hammer, Tone Loc, Vanilla Ice as far as hip hop that was cleaner. N.W.A., Public Enemy, Too Short, etc...who were also out at the same time, were a lot more graphic in their language.

    Great reaction! Some insight. It came out in 1988. The beauty of this song is the cadence. Yeah, the lyrics didn't align like you are used to. Intentionally so. Check out the strong unique flow (which is "the brand new funk" that the song is about)! They put together a whole new delivery that worked really well. The guy you were asking about is Ready Rock C (Fresh Prince's Beat Box -- Check out "Rock the House" if you want to see Ready Rock, Fresh Prince, and Jazzy Jeff do some cool stuff). I knew people who were in that specific crowd that night of taping.

    Idk
    Will Smith's acting career was all right you got to rephrase Iike, aight.
    He was also his own hype boy because the energy that he exuded in his entertainment factor were superlative at the time.
    But he wouldn't have made it that far if he didn't have and unorthodox Avant guard guard so to speak.
    And that spiritual musical beautiful guardian had a name and his name was Jeff.
    Jeff was was like the drummer in the band but literally more of a percussionist with the record player.
    When fun hits fun that should be like a magnifying glass on a hot July day

    3:30 ohhhh you have no idea
    1. In girl ain’t nothing but trouble he buys a prostitute and punches her and proceeded to throw a trash can at her when she accuses him of sexually assault
    2. He rapped about 5 transgenders robbing his home after a party(cancel worthy)
    3. Getting kidnapped by natives
    4. Wanting to torture/murder someone if they don’t dance for him
    5. In the only song he cusses in he cusses out a old woman for hitting his car and was held contempt of court
    6. He had a song where he sexually harassed a woman in school and stole a kids car and was chased by the cops
    7. A song about cheating on his girl and getting caught(one of my favs)
    8. Stealing his moms Porsche and getting arrested for picking up a minor in which he didn’t know
    9. The exact same thing Dababy did at rolling loud he did basically but it was the 80’s so he didn’t get in trouble
    10. Rapping about him and his body guard being this ruthless force in which he got arrested for aggravated assaulting someone(in real life)
    And more. He’s a clean rapper but raps some explicit topics

    I'm bummed that Weird Al was blocked, but I see on your Patreon that you really enjoyed it! I sincerely hope you do more from him. He's got a lot of great videos! A tip. I've seen other reactors play the videos using RUclips's "miniplayer", and that seems to prevent a lot of videos from being blocked. That might work for you. Instead of making the video full screen, just make the RUclips page half of your reaction screen, and open the mini player on top of the RUclips page you are watching. Seems to work and keep things live.
