DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince went all out on this album. The lyrics are so smooth and the music has head bopping beats. Jazzy does a fantasic job on the scratching. "Then She Bit Me" is the most outragerous rap I've heard to date, funky lyrics with a tight beat. Other good ones include, "The Reverend," "Jazzy's Grove," and "Who Stole My Car?" This album is a must get for all Will Smith fans!

I just loved this cd!! I use to play this tape at age 15 until the tape popped!! Then bought another one, now I want to buy it again--on cd-- for my favorite track "Jazzy's Groove"! I miss the way HipHop use to be so fun to listen to (When it was simply about your skills on the microphone not how much everything cost?!?) I personally think HipHop is in a state of crisis and thank God theres Amazon to shop for the days when HipHop was an art form.

This is the best Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince album ever. It really shows Jazzy's skills of scratching and hooking up the beats and the Prince's flows. Here are the tracks, with ratings, best is a 10...

1. Then She Bit Me - funny lines, nice beats,8
2. I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson - only track off the album that ever got any recognition, 6
3. Jazzy's Groove - my favorite, fun & fast rhymes and nice beats, 10
4. Everything That Glitters (Ain't Always Gold) - flow gets a little slow on second verse but still cool, 7
5. You Got It (Donut) - great story, beats with a touch of jazz, 9

7. The Reverend - fun, happy rhymes, 7
8. Who Stole My Car? - good story, 8
8. The Men Of Your Dreams - Jazzy raps in this one, 7

DJ Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince's third album, And In This Corner... was a departure from the gangsta, political, and hardcore music hitting rap audiences in 1989. Fresh Prince, known for his witty humor and upbeat lyrics, and his partner Jazzy Jeff- possibly the greatest DJ of all time- created an album that is bouncy, good-spirited and fun. Prince's zany tales carry the record, while Jeff lays down perfect backdroppings to accompany his partner's flamboyant quips.

Standouts include "Jazzy's Groove", "Jeff Waz On The Beatbox", "Numero Uno" and "The Girlie Had A Mustache".

Buy this record if you're interested in checking out pure, undadulterated fun hip-hop. Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince stuck true to their craft (and still do), and created an album that epitomizes rap music's playful nature.

This is the best CD he and Jazzy have made!! The songs are all great! I love this CD!

boy will was funny back then even though I like gangster rap, deathmetal, p funk, deathmetasl, jazzfusion, hendrix, and sun ra I was into jeff and prince too I used to love jeff's scratches and my 2 favorite tracks on here was girlie had a mustache whjere will talks to a girl who turns out to be a man and jeff was onnthe beatbox is my dfavorite track on hetre period boy 89 was the time.

Back when YO! MTV Raps was on the cable you would see artists like these. DJ Jazzy Jeff And The Fresh Prince having fun in their raps. Not repping about where they are from or how much they got. Just straight up having fun. Thats when hip hop was fun and not played on ur pop stations 24/7. Dont get me wrong I personally dont like old school rap like LL Cool J and Biz Markie but this sound is still fresh today thanks to Dj Jazzy Jeff's beats. Now for the songs...

1. Then She Bit Me- I understand this song but I usually skip it 4/10

2. I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson- Just straight up fun raps. 8/10

3. Jazzy's Groove- Everysong has Jazzy's beats why one song have this title I'll never know. 6/10

4. Everything That Glitters (Ain't Always Gold) - Again a fun laid back song. 10/10

5. You Got It (Donut) - This song is kinda sounds dated. 7/10

6. The Girlie Had a Mustache - Kinda childish now but fit right in in the 80s. 6/10

7. The Reverend - This song is alright. Usually skip it. 4/10

8. Who Stole My Car? - Classic song. 10/10

9. The Men of You Dreams - Song to get they both try to get the lady. Will smith's battle track...hahahaha. 10/10

10. Numero Uno - SHows its age. 8/10

11. Too Damn Hype - I really don't like this song. 2/10

12. Jeff Waz on the Beat Box - Bonus track only for cd. 8/10

Overall great cd but pick up the greatest hits instead cuz it has the good songs off here plus their other cds.
