BoOniEDoTsShOw Way before The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which aired in early 1990. Look up a rare interview of Will Smith on the Tim Westwood show, which took place in 1991. Talking about time flies right?
He was like 22 here, he's 55 now. I think he's actually more vulnerable and open today then he was back then which was more so a facade to some extent.
Can't believe the 90's was like 30 years ago. Not to sh*t on the younger generation, but it seem like the artists (Actors, musicians, comedians, etc.) were REAL artists. They were super talented, worked hard and had skill. You had superstars like Prince, Michael Jackson, Big, Pac, etc. There are no superstars today that match these artists.
Even being a gangster was more real . You didn't have the internet and thugs going on there ranting and bragging about somebody they killed. Back than you just did got it over with and that was the end. Wasn't no online to brag about what you did.
@@DaMillerBoi thankyou Jay, in your kind response it really shows that you're a true Gentleman , for me judging Will Smith and being rude about it shows not only that l'm not a Gentleman but l also have some serious self reflecting to do, Thankyou for being so understanding , all the best to you.
You got to give Arsenio his credit he definitely had the most Poppin actors and artists of that time on his show he was the Wendy Williams of that decade so hats off to Arsenio Hall oh how I miss the 90s 😢
CL. Life those had Jordan on the sole where it said Nike and a Jumpman on the heel where it said Nike Air. They wanted to promote the Jordan Brand. I’ll repeat myself those shoes have not released since 1990.
Manager is stupid for being mad because they don't advertise the show so much, Will being Will goofing around is the best promotion you could have for a show rather than sticking to the pre-planned questions.
Will doesn’t even speak like this anymore lol now he just stumbles over his words and speaks with such vocabulary ... you can seriously see the growth and difference at the same time lol funny how time is of the essence and you can see back all this shit in the past lol
listening to Will explaining how it's natural for men in his culture to insult each other, even referring to the one who says "that's enough" as a 'chump' - now he physically attacks Chris Rock over a joke
Jason Askins Im a 90s baby so i grew up in early 00’s I never really get to see a glimpse of the whole era of 80s and 90s though so I always wanted to ask a question for sum reason it fantasizes me lol what was It like during the period of 80s and 90s in america compared to today’s now?
@@deafsomali oh yes them era was so cool and life was simple with how things were naturally and music was very skillfully authentic, sitcoms, & movies were more grassroots than what's out today. That's why we reminisce the memory lanes of good times it was.
@@deafsomali Lol, dont put too much stock in that reply. Nostalgia tends to drastically over simplify things. Music on the radio might be corporate far more now, but there is sound cloud and many other platforms. In the 80s I had no way of listening to music from africa. I do now. There are FAR more musicians and better music, if you seek it out. Theres also plenty of "grassroots" series and movies out there, but again, if you are only watching the most popular shows like GoT then you wont likely come across them. You wanna know what grassroots is? Kickstarter and similar platforms. There are far more ways to get involved in grassroots orgs to supprt small time filmakers, artists, gamedevs etc then any time in history. (Im speaking from the perspective of someone from the usa btw) yes, things were "simpler" back then in a way, but that doesnt always mean better. Sure we didnt have the government and corporations tracking our every move to the extent we do now (thought still more than people seem to usually think they did) and we have other societal woes now. But there were other societal woes then, like dying from diseases that are easily curable now. Which reminds me of the phrase "make America great again". There were some great things America had decades and centuries ago that we dont have now, but If you are a woman, or you are non white, or you are not straight or you are not christian, then America has never been greater for you than it is now in those areas.
BabyKorey Kopasetik : I noticed that as well. A leather jacket was own by almost everyone back then, nowadays it's leatherette instead of real leather.
He did really looked to up to Eddie. I saw an interview of Will a while ago saying Eddie’s ‘48Hrs’, ‘Delirious’ and ‘Raw’ influenced the early parts of his career. So yeah he did look up to him.

@@comet6740maturing? By slapping people on Oscars, preaching about non-violence which contradicts his real life personality? Its called being fake. Jada Pinkett Smith even pointed this out
R Kelly did the same thing. He started being all fake on camera, until people realized what R Kelly was really like. Meanwhile, Will Smith bullied people most of his career. He just behaves differently when he is making something on camera. "Violence is only in the mind of a brute" and fake wisdom speeches.
It was right after this interview he got the call to be in Gemini man with his older self...
