Ale Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 D.J. JAZZY JEFF & THE FRESH PRINCE THEN: Jeff Townes was a local Philadelphia hero when he met a kid named Will Smith at a 1985 house party. They had instant chemistry and soon a hit single with 1986's "Girls Ain't Nothing But Trouble." It was released a month before Smith's high school graduation. Three years later they won the first ever rap Grammy for "Parents Just Don't Understand." NOW: Officially, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince have never disbanded, but they have taken very different career paths. DJ Jeff went on to contribute scratching for Eminem, Talib Kweli, The Roots, and others. Unfortunately, things didn't turn our so well for Will Smith's career: a forgettable sitcom and some box-office bombs. Maybe Flavor Flav will put him in his next reality show. Sarcasm, right? :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Romano338 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Yes, it is irony I think, but maybe they didn't have to be so ironic ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turntable Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) LL COOL J THEN: James Todd Smith probably had the most idyllic childhood of any of his rap contemporaries. He sang in church choir, joined the Boy Scouts, and delivered papers. His grandfather bought him his first mixer at Sears. His first single as LL Cool J (it stands for "Ladies Love Cool James), "I Need a Beat," sold over 100,000 copies. --- except the fact that his dad shot his grandfather and his mother while he was watching. this article is wack, anybody can read wikipedia and transform it into short parts Edited June 22, 2009 by Turntable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
