Y'all forgot who DJ JAZZY JEFF AND THE FRESH PRINCE was??!!! The Hip Hop community NEVER forgot who they are!!! And they performed my favorite song, "Brand New Funk!!" Icons and ICONIC!!! Great show!!!
I am So Happy for DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince ( Will Smith)!👏🏾 And just them but All the Hip Hop Icons!🎉 50 Years is a Amazing achievement .🤩📝🖋️🎵🎶🎼📀🎤🥳
Some of y'all judging this man for the wrong reasons, that era was for GOOD VIBES not savage behavior. You wasn't hearing women being call "BITCHES, HOES" in lyrics. Job well done Will & Jazzy. Y'all private life is not my concern, cause guess what? I got a life. love ya..
Despite everything Will has been through Im So proud of him he cant do no wrong in my eyes he's such an amazing person and I just love him and Jazzy Jeff connection after all these years my favorite part was when jazzy Jeff said he knows who he married when going through his bag 😂😂😂
At the grammy's where he wore the red jacket, Chris Rock was the announcer & him & Will hugged. Chris said, "get out of here" when Will's name was announced.
I'm so excited for Will! With everything that's been going on in the world, from Hollywood to political turmoil, I think everybody needed a temporary break from it all.❤
That certain someone talked about that certain event over a month ago while promoting her memoir with London press, but the publication only just released the interview. They asked, and she answered. But she talked about many other things in the interview as well not related to that certain event, but as the media does, they gravitated towards the more 'salacious' topic for headlines. But as someone who works in media, I would assume you understand that.
She's literally spilling all the tea in a book for financial gain. She has no problem airing out all her dirty laundry to make a few bucks. Despite the fact she's already a millionaire and filthy rich.
@joeybaseball7352 That lady ain't hurting for no damn money to where she had to write a book for financial gain. The memoir is focused on HER life and experiences, including her upbringing, career in Hollywood, mental health, friendships, and of course her marriage but not nearly as much as people who didn't read the book the would think. Very tame tea, to be honest. Will also wrote about her in his memoir because they are inextricably linked, seeing as though they've been in each other lives for 30 years. She had every right to speak and write about the status of their relationship or that certain event because they involved her and being disrespectful to her on Will's behalf is insane.
If WILL SMITH had not become the Hollywood Earner that he has, this 'Salute' to him at the GRAMMYS celebration of 50 Years of Hip Hop would not have happened. His talent is Pop Music as the TRUE GREATS of HIP-HOP had hit critical acclaim and commercial success before the first record. He was and is an actor who crossed over from pop rapping with DJ JAZZY JEFF. A great piece as always Graeme, x!
You don't know what your saying. Because he made hits that crossed over don't confuse him as pop.Will and Jeff are to of the best to do it .I'm from Philly and back in then Mid 80s Will was eating Mcs in Battles and Jeff won 🏆 the First New Music seminar Dj Battle.and judging by the reaction from the Crowd they were into the Music. Never put Will and Jeff in the Vinnilla ice Mc Hammer and Catagory.
@papadre70 Why are the people who are commenting so sensitive to a different viewpoint of WILL SMITH'S ranking in HIP-HOP at 50. Trust me, I'd this was 1998 when HIP-HOP was 25, WILL and JEFF were there because of their relevance then. I actually have really enjoyed BEL-AIR and Jeff's participation in it. I also know it is 2023, and there have been 25 years that WILL SMITH has primarily been an actor, a GOOD ONE at that. This got ridiculous from the start so I am bowing out.
Their roots are deeply Hip Hop. They paid all their dues during the late 70s/early 80’s before they got put on. And you had to know how to DJ and EMCEE to get put on back then. I was there. Seen it all. Them Boys are Hip Hop through and through. Dj’d and EMCEED at a ridiculous amount of hood house parties and iconic Hip Hop clubs (Paladium, Roof Top…) and toured with the greats, from Doug E Fresh to, KRS 1, to Rakim, Run DMC, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, Luke and the 2 Live Crew…. Not a viewpoint, all facts. That’s where they came from in Hip Hop. Rock The House album was there first and definitely not Pop. They didn’t perform or grow up no where near pop when they came out. The pop industry wasn’t even messing with Hip Hop like that back then.
I'll never see him the same again because of his life choices but I'm glad that he went out and had a great time, I'm sure it must have been therapeutic.
And how will he be relatable today? Unless he’s coming with those bar-b-que at the family reunion anthems like ’summer time’, I don’t see it. His music will definitely be for the sheltered and seasoned senior audience.
You are correct Will and the rest of those pioneers are not relatable to today's so called hiphop music. They are not making songs about brown bootyholes and pink coochies
He doesn't even qualify! The only song that's great is" Jiggy with it"..And that's only because our Old-school song "Greatest Dancer" kicked it to greatness! Other than that I do not see him as a Hip Hop artist..
I don't change my mind will Smith is corny thry who show was corny it was produced by white people on CBS get out wow the show didn't do it for me wht happened to black writers this show was corny where was snoop.where Dr dra where a lot of the supper stars jazz
Wow, you must have a born life. You just can't call the man gay. Why cause you're gay? If you don't have nothing nice to say than don't say nothing at all
Oh let me guess, because he slapped Chris Rock? Well, at least we know when someone publicly embarrasses you or offends you, your husband just needs to sit there and do nothing about it and let you walk away looking ridiculous. You wouldn’t want him stepping up for you, would you?

After everything going on in Will's life, he needed this. You can tell.
Y'all forgot who DJ JAZZY JEFF AND THE FRESH PRINCE was??!!! The Hip Hop community NEVER forgot who they are!!! And they performed my favorite song, "Brand New Funk!!" Icons and ICONIC!!! Great show!!!
How can anybody forget about them? They are absolutely legendary.
Right exactly 💯
Awesome performance. Love it. Absolutely legend!!!
Salute to the Grammys for bringing such an iconic Rap group to that stage! 🔥🔥
I am So Happy for DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince ( Will Smith)!👏🏾 And just them but All the Hip Hop Icons!🎉 50 Years is a Amazing achievement .🤩📝🖋️🎵🎶🎼📀🎤🥳
That was NOT Will Smith that was THE FRESH PRINCE.

I’m proud to say my sister being the first female rapper was apart of it,love you big sis “ SHA-ROCK..”
Summertime is such a damn classic
I hope Will Smith releases another album and does a music world tour 🙏🔥🎤🎶
Despite everything Will has been through Im So proud of him he cant do no wrong in my eyes he's such an amazing person and I just love him and Jazzy Jeff connection after all these years my favorite part was when jazzy Jeff said he knows who he married when going through his bag 😂😂😂
They were really good I loved it
I know who I married!! No truer words spoken😂❤
OMG, THEY KILLED IT!!! HERE ARE THEIR 🌺🌹🌹🌼🌻🌹🌹🌹🌷🌷🌷
the boy definitely needed that after everything going on over the last few years...at times it might be necessary to go home to find yourself
He won the first Grammy. There was always talk of him doing the show.
I loved it. It was wonderful!😊
At the grammy's where he wore the red jacket, Chris Rock was the announcer & him & Will hugged. Chris said, "get out of here" when Will's name was announced.
I hate I missed this
Will Smith has been doing music with Joyner Lucas. Joyner Lucas posted it on his story.
Will said, "Put some respect on my name!" And commenced to turning that ish out!
So cool ❤
Amazing Will
Love sing Summer timer is favorite sing Amazing performance be both of them Will Smith DJ Jazzy Jeff

@@carmencolita929 you're right. She didn't have to write a tell-all exposé for financial gain. But she did. You think she wrote this book for free?
@joeybaseball7352 oh so you're a troll, got it. Have a day.
@@carmencolita929 so you're now troll shaming over someone stating simple facts? Got it.
Good event!🙂
It’s about start enjoying himself; Jada stole his joy !
I hope he starts making music again
Same. I love him and his son
I think his last album came out in 2005

HATER!!! WILL AND JAZZY SHUT IT DOWN!!! SUMMERTIME IS THE ALL TIME ANTHEM
It looks hella fun. We needed to be reminded how great he is.
He made a mistake paid is still paying the price.
Its time to let him off the 🪝
I think Will was high. I won't buy anything from Will
I think he’ll survive.

That's a lie and you have no idea what you are talking about. FYI....We celebrate Hip Hop Artist often at awards shows that cater to R&B and HipHop...
