On page 9 of the June 27 - July 3 issue of TV Guide, they have a page featuring their rating of other emcees who are taking similar paths of the Fresh Prince. Insead of being rated by stars, they are rated by lil' FP heads. :roll: Here's what it says...

INSIDER: What's New, Who's Hot, What's Next
HIP-HOP MIGRATION
More and more rappers are following what we call the Will Smith plan: Use the cachet gained from a hit song to charm your way into your own sitcom. From there, leap into movies. The onetime Fresh Prince of Bel-Air pioneered the formula, which was followed-with varying degrees of succes-by Queen Latifah, LL Cool J, and Ice-T. Now there's a new batch of MC's on the plan. Here's how they rate on our Will Power scale. - Rochell D. Thomas
EVE (3 1/2 FPs)
This 24-year-old Grammy winner has sold more than four million albums, starred in three hit films, launched a clothing line and her own TV series. And her next Will Smith move: Sharpening her "serious actor" chops in the indie drama "The Woodsman."
METHOD MAN + RED MAN (3 FPs)
The MC dream team had a hit with the college set with their 2001 pot-head flick "How High." With that coveted demogrphic behind the, it's no wonder they landed a high-profile-and funny-summer sitcom.
MC LYTE (2 FPs)
In the 90's she could "cold rock a party." Now the Lyte (nee Lana Moorer) is just another actor waiting for a big break. Small guest roles and a gig on UPN's Half & Half have yet to show us any Will Smith crossover appeal.
MISSY ELLIOT (???)
On MTV and singing Eve's jammin' theme song, she can do no wrong. But until we get a chance to sample her mid-season UPN reality show about hip-hop hopefuls, we'll wait and see if she can work it in prime time.

"...Ever since “Summertime” they ain’t liked none of mine
Even though the fans went out & bought enough
I guess they think Will ain’t hard enough
Maybe I should just have a shoot out
Run up in the bank, bustin’, grabbin’ all the loot out
Whoop somebody ass, taking my boot out
Right on TV so ya’ll can see me
Just ignorant, attacking, actin’ rough
I mean, then will I be black enough..."
For more info check Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
