ehhh not really. that was the vibe of hip hop back in the day which many are too young to remember. Fat boys came out long before fresh prince and they had that same "fun" slapstick happy rap ,comedy vibe. Kid n play, Cash money & marvelous, Young mc, etc, I can make an extensive list.

Just like jheri curls. folk look back and laugh their butts off acting like they were never down but in 84-early 86 there were only 2 types of black folk back then, black folk with jheri curls and folk who wanted one or thought Jheri curls were fly. lol So yeah looking at it now in 2016 yeah this song is cheesy and wack but in 1988 this was creative and fly. lol you're going to have the same type convo with your son/daughter 16 years from now watching old videos you like now. I can't laugh too hard because fact of the matter is 88/early 89 in 9th grade I was in front of the TV repeating the lyrics loving this song with thoughts of one day traveling to Hawaii and getting a banger like sophie. lol

Although Jaz didn't have a hugely successful music career he was Jay -Z's mentor.No matter the fallout that happened with them Jaz paved the way for Jay-Z ,he should be highly respected for that mere fact alone if nothing else.
You seem only concerned to dissing women/were you abused as a child, scared to smile, they call you ugly/well life is harsh, hug me, don't reject me/or make records to disrespect me/ blantly or indirectly
Yeah, looking back corny, maybe, but also one of the most incredible moments in hip hop history. I was a nine yr old kid in Brooklyn NY when this joint dropped. Nobody knew who Jay-Z was. Nobody. Take the moment in time when this joint dropped, then fast forward through his accomplishments right up until today, with Jay cutting a deal with Long Island University to set up his music/ sports/ media school there. Absolutely unbelievable story this man has. And to have grown up watching the whole thing unfold... what a trip. Peace to you all.
Obviously jay z is successful and driven by money good for him but i ask myself how much money does a man really need? Depends who you ask lets see how his children turn out in life thats that's a real measurement of success peace ✌

Actually alot of rappers were doing that before and after because that was one of the two things rappers spoke on (story telling or how good you are). Black nationalist rap was just taking off and gangsta rap was an infant at this time.
I would say Dr. Jekkyl and Mr. Hyde are the earliest. Prob not the first cause i remember some old school rappers who only made 12inch records with some similar songs but their names escape me. Dr. j mr. hyde had "Freshest Rhymes in the world" where they told a series of exaggerated stories like the one where he defeated Godzilla.
@@heirtothethrone9428 He wasn't talkin bout this song. He was saying that THIS (At the time) was the only way Jay was staying relevant. This and mentioning Nas. (And sampling him)

I didn’t say the show fresh price of bel air!! Cause it did come before that show but not the fresh prince himself!!! Parents just don’t understand had this same silly vibe. That’s what I was referring to bro!!!

1st and foremost the drum beat is a classic DC Go-Go beat which was the wave back then used by the likes of Kid-N-Play (Rollin' Wit Kid-N-Play), Salt-N-Pepa (Shake Ya Thang), Club Nouveau (Lean On Me), and Caron Wheeler (I Adore You) just to name a few.
during these times, this kind of rap was hugely profitable. this was before the gangsta rap craze that would ignite shortly after. this is that fresh prince style of rap that sold a lot of units.
Yo I love this era of hip hop real talent cause the could rap about anything and paint a picture in your head so you could visualize their poetry truely amazing
Brings back a good memory in 1988 or 89. Got that percussion go-go beat from DC going on also. Don't what Jaz-o is doing these days, and Jayz probably has forgotten this tune. Hope not. Notorious BIG /2pac was holding things down while both Jay's and other rappers was still placing themselves in the ranks
There is an episode of Jay-Z on the Late Show with David Letterman where Letterman asks him about Big Jaz. Jay-Z played clueless because he was embarrassed. Google it.
Dam dudes are really hating on Jay? Obviously you're not true Hip Hop fans. This video was done in 89, during that time most of Hip Hop was doing music like this. Instead of hating we should congratulate Jay for being in the game still. He evolved and reinvented himself. That's what great artist do. Dudes been doing it since 1988. That's 30 years people 30 years. Not too many people can say they stayed at their jobs for more than a year. This dude's been doing it for 30 years. #Salute #DontBeAHaterDude
Crazy... watching and hearing this now reminds me that I actually remember seeing and hearing the video back when it was on MTV raps....and I thought it was garbage back then....😂😂💯💯.. never even thought twice about Jigga man being in the video 💯😂
Most of you should read Jay-Z's book "Decoded" he actually took a break from selling dope to go to London with Jaz where they worked on Jaz's album. Jay-Z's decision to do this was met with harsh criticism from his "drug selling peers". If you honestly think Jay-Z sat in his room one day and was like "YO' JAZ LETS DO THIS CHEESY ASS SONG CALLED HAWAIIN SOPHIE AND MAKE A CORNY VIDEO FOR IT" than you're ignorant, EMI's A&R men thought of all of this and since Jay-Z was Jaz's buddy he got to be included. I don't understand how some of you can try and call Jay-Z fake for being apart of this when you literally did not live his life.
im sorry but if you make a video like that you are marked for life i mean 2 of the best rappers ever roasted him with that and i think it dosent matter what he thought its about what it looks like.
Agreed but Tupac songs are relevant to this day (2019) and these new raps are full of shit boasting mothafucking assholes.. When things comes easy, we take it for granted but pure talent goes through hardships and ends up a legend!!
@@MarvelousMusicmmusic The JackAss sidekick who finessed the game and is now a Mogul, Philanthropist, and pretty much a billionaire. I bet You while you're laughing your ass off, He's Laughing all the way to the bank.
To all those saying Tupac was back for being in ballet. He was a still a kid and never claimed to have been macho at a young age, unlike Jay Z. He claimed to be selling crack. He dissed Prodigy for being what every kid wanted to be, an MJ fan.
What's funny is that Jay-Z was making fun of Prodigy for dressing up like Michael Jackson as a kid even though Jay-Z himself is a fan of MJ and I'm sure he would've done the same as a child if he had the chance.
Known drug dealers try everything to get legit and out the dope game, it doesn’t have to “look” cool, just formulate cash, this was a good shot at going legit.

This video so funny. You almost forget about the fact this was the first introduces of Jay-z everybody always go to reasonable doubt. And some NY rappers say WestCoast corny ha ha look at y'all young NY rappers funny shit. Look at Jay Z now he a good bussiness man he knows how to play the game he changed with all the times. Jay made many moves
Jay z looks like a fucking boss he knew what he was doing he wanted in... He looks more like a boss than jaz o believe me shout out to jay z for taking advantage of this opportunity!
This has such a Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff vibe.
Exactly my first thought.
