5.0 out of 5 stars ESSENTIAL HIPHOP CULTURE CD!, June 28, 2001

By 

Jared Insell (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Homebase (Audio CD)

After a commercial sales slump with their previous album, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince to a year off from rap when they were cast into the hit show FRESH PRINCE OF BELAIR. By the end of the first season the show had become very popular so the demand for another DJ jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince album was high. Released in the summer of 1991 the album scored a hit with SUMMERTIME which is known today as the biggest hit of the summer of 91 and has been played on the radio almost every summer ever since.

The opening track I'M ALL THAT tells the story of the Fresh Prince's comeback. It's followed by the hit SUMMERTIME. Other good tracks are RING MY BELL, DOG IS A DOG, YOU SAW MY BLINKER, BOY IS SMOOTH and THE SUMMERTIME REPRISE. The rest is mainly filler that some will enjoy a lot.

In conclusion this is a very good album. I'm not much of a fan of rap but Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff are an exception as well as Kid 'n Play. This is when rap was safe and I recommend it to the whole family! It is really a fun album! Perhaps one of the best of 1991!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's All That., March 11, 2003

This review is from: Homebase (Audio CD)

I hadn't listened to this CD in awhile prior to writing this review. So I went back and listened to it, and I don't know why I hadn't listed to it. It is such a good CD. Almost flawless.

The opening track, I'm All That, is one of the top tracks on the disc, and you can tell by this track that this is going to be a great CD. He raps about, well, being all that. And I believe that this disc is all that because he is all that.

If you're reading this carefully, you saw I wrote "Almost flawless." The flaw: Track six "A dog is a dog." It pretty much .... I can't listen to it for more than thirty seconds. The chorus to me is like nails down a chalkboard.

The other tracks make up for it though. They're all really good. And here's the top five in no particular order.

1. I'm All That
2. You Saw My Blinker
3. Trapped on the Dance Floor
4. Caught in the Middle (Love & Life)
5. The Things You Do

If you noticed too, I didn't include Summertime because it simply isn't one of the top tracks despite what the Grammy's say.

Okey-Dokey, wrap-up. This is Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince's best record. It's funny, it has good tracks, and it's worth your money. This is the last funny record they released because Code Red wasn't a funny CD, good, but not funny. So buy this.

(In case your curious, there's a hidden track on this CD. At least on the newer copies because I got mine a year or two ago, and I'm not sure about the old copies. It's right after track twelve, it's the version of Ring My Bell that can be heard on their Greatest Hits disc.)

5.0 out of 5 stars You Saw My Blinker B****!, July 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Homebase (Audio CD)

Yo, this is one of the best Hip-Hop albums ever. I don't care what anyone says. Every song on this album is phat. "Summertime" is my favorite cut on here but all the songs are good. This is a must for everybody to have if your just a big Hip-Hop fan. The lyrics and beats are mad phat if you look at it from back then. If this came out 99 then the beats would still be phat and the lyrics would have been pretty good. If you don't like this album then you don't know your Hip-Hop. I think it's one of the an all time best. I think Will Smith is a good enough Rapper. But anyways, this album is good and if you ain't got it, you better go cop Homebase then aiight? Peace!
