The Very Best Of D.J. Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince
Release Date: June 06, 2006
82876817492
CD Album

Topping the charts throughout the '80s and '90s with such hits as "Parents Just Don't Understand," "A Nightmare On My Street," and the anthemic "Summertime," Jeff Townes (aka, D.J. Jazzy Jeff) and Will Smith (aka, The Fresh Prince) brought rap music to pop audiences worldwide. Formed in 1986 in Philadelphia while performing at a house party, D.J. Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince served as the launching pad for two major music careers. Renowned for his turntable skills as spotlighted on tracks such as "The Magnificent Jazzy Jeff" and "Brand New Funk," D.J. Jazzy Jeff is internationally acknowledged as a significant figure in the art of turntablism. Today, he plays a major role in nurturing the Neo-Soul movement coming out of Philadelphia. The rapper of the group, Will Smith, needs little introduction as he rose throughout the '80s and '90s to become one of America's biggest stars of film, music and television. Together, as D.J. Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, they created some of the most memorable hits of their day and, individually, continue to woo fans worldwide.

hmmm... I am LOVING that album cover... looks dope... why would the trakcs not be listed if they weren't unreleased, I sure hope they are new material, that would be mental!

[bigted]

If there's only 14 tracks on there with no unreleased, I probably won't get it right away...

[Hero1]

even if theres only 14 traxs..you still get these remastered:

The Magnificent Jazzy Jeff (single edit)
A Touch Of Jazz
Brand New Funk
The Groove (Jazzy's Groove)
Ring My Bell (Mr. Lee Radio Mix)
The Things That U Do (Hula Radio Remix)
I'm Looking For The One (To Be With Me)
I Wanna Rock (Radio Edit)

which i'm definitely lookin forward too

[JamesUK]

They usually release these when someting else is happening, so should we be expecting something else JJFP related to be happening around this time ?

[Big Willie]

The more I hear about this the better it gets. Cover looks dope as well.

Imma stay positive on there being some unreleased tracks on it Thanks for this

[JumpinJack AJ]

I like that cover alot. I can't wait 2 pick it up. And i wouldn't expect any unreleased stuff. Those are all the main singles.

[Da Brakes]

Keeping my fingers crossed! This sounds great!

[Big Willie]

And as Tim said, its worth having just for the re-mastered tracks. And hopefully some rare artwork.

yeah ... i cant wait

[cristigolo]

i hope there are sum rare trax on it. but hope never dies

[DevilsJim89]

The cover image could be ALOT better. They should've used pix from the 90s with JJFP in the Starter Gear. Also the text could've better a hell of a lot better. Lets hope for 21 trax!

[Mista Money]

Whoo! I can't w8 for dis to come out!

[Jazzy Julie]

i like the cover. i'll probably get this with or without bonus tracks just for the remasteted stuff. Lets just keep hoping for those new tracks, its the 20th anniversary they have to do something! Come to think of it June will be exactly when thier first single was released, its a sign!

[bigted]

Speaking of remastering, I hope the JJFP albums get remastered one day, that's what I'm really looking forward to, I'm not getting this right away if there's no new/unreleased tracks but it's still a good timing to release this since there's probably a lot of kids that got introduced to FP as an mc with "Lost and Found" and this album would be a good album to help give them a history lesson of his career with Jazzy...

Sounds good, fingers definatly crossed for these bonus tracks. Dope cover, though!

[Vipa]

dope...

Either there are still 7 tracks to be added, or whoever typed up the list messed up..

Ima still get it...If no obnus tracks, then not right away. But i'll buy it for sure.

[BamF]

Nice cover.

[Luigie]

The cover looks good, i hope 21 tracks too :)

[JumpinJack AJ]

There's won't be other trax added...it just wouldn't make sense. It's The Best of...and those are all the main singles. Whoever typed up one of those tracklistings just made some mistakes. Why would they accidentally leave so many trax off it and how would they fit 21 JJ+FP trax on 1 CD?!?
